I picked up a G3 Platinum Minitower overclocked to 466MHz today, with a Voodoo 5 5500 PCI card installed (the one with DVI and VGA). The Voodoo card was, of course, the real prize.…

Excellent, thanks.

So you want to install a bigger hard drive? You will need: - 1 Phillips screwdriver - 1 flathead screwdriver - 1 40 pin IDE hard drive, any should do, even one scavenged from a…

I can't seem to find anything on the correct procedure on taking apart a Performa 6300CD (or 6320CD). Splitting Mac OS 8.6 and Debian between a 1.2GB HDD is quite a squeeze. Could…

The Classic II will also run (a special version of) System 6, under which it runs very fast indeed. Click to expand... That's 6.0.8L, correct? Where does one find this version?…

and can pick up even more power if you spring for an external floppy drive (usually less than $20 on eBay) Click to expand... On the other hand, so is an extra SCSI hard drive

I'd put the hard drive inside the LCIII+ since you're more likely to run programs that require system additions such as QuickTime on it. Additionally, if you don't have the System …

I'd put in in your Classic II, which is the most limited of the two machines, true, but also the one with what most people would say has the most character. The Classic II will als…

I can't believe I missed this; was there a lot of boxed software this time? How was attendance? I would have been all over that AT setup.

All this was given to me. Pristine condition Centris 650 with pristine Apple Display. Literally this setup looks and works brand new. Pristine-looking Personal LaserWriter - but …

Whichever Mac you prefer. If you want a Compact Mac, the Classic II. If you want a faster machine that can be upgraded more, and can run an external colour display, the LCIII.

I have 1 SCSI hard drive. just 1. i have 2 classic macs that use SCSI hard drives. the LC III+ and the Classic II. Which one deserves it?

Update: 575 board in CC with 37mb on the board with Mac OS 8.1 everything is running great! Now I just have to get the guts todo the 640x480 mod and figure out what's wrong with th…

Hi, My SE/30 could connect to network, the hard disk damage, I replaced the disk and ran the system installed 7.5.3 and upgraded to 7.5.5, I installed drivers for network card, b…

Also I'll be getting a 32mb module in the mail soon. Hopefully that will work.I'm also in the process of getting my hands on a ppc cpu that I can swap out on the 575 board.

I took the 550 board out and got the 575 board working without bus errors. I was doing the resedit hack wrong :-/ Overall the computer feels alot faster, I just need to modify …

It is worth trying to clean and lubricate your floppy drive mechanisms, as per instructions that can be found here and there, including from some of our members. I find that my flo…

I've had the 550 board in the Color Classic and it's working fine with it. I installed 512k of vram on the board and it has 8mb of ram so far, with Mac OS 7.6.1 installed. I bough…

If I understand what you have done and are trying to do, the problem is: a) that 8.1 will not run natively on the 550, and B) that, to my knowledge, you cannot use the ResEdit ha…

I'd sure like to know where you bought your 128mb module. Mine fit fine, but the computer wouldn't boot, screen stayed black. I put the ram in the 575 motherboard and the 550 moth…

It fit fine with the 128MB module? Both of my 128MB modules were too tall, I had to file off the screw peg in order for it to fit. Is the 550 RAM slot located in a different loca…

Nope, I pulled the 128mb out.
