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.

Did you read the reply above? Are you still attempting to boot with the 128MB stick installed?

I put a new floppy drive in the Color Classic and it's still not working. What could be wrong?

Also I tried installing Mac OS 8.1 today, wouldnt install, it said to read the manual. I'm thinking the 8mb isn't enough for Mac OS 8.1 :?: Click to expand... Considering the…

Okay I finally got the Color Classic running after a frustrating experience with the LC 575 motherboard. I bought an LC 550 which I received today with some cracked corners on the …

You can also patch Drive Setup, which is better than HD SC Setup, IMO. It's not very hard to do.

Apple prevented third-party drives by not allowing people to format drives that do not already have the Apple drivers on them. (Not sure if I said that accurately, but you get the…

Okay. I've got a Power Macintosh 7500 (see signature) with a 68-pin Ultra 160 SCSI LVD/SE Adaptec controller card. The model number of the card is AHA-2940U2B. It says on a labe…

There was a third party adapter to use Atari joysticks on an Apple II. Good luck finding one, though! At the time, Apple joysticks were as common and cheap as the Atari ones, so th…

Of course, option 3 is to yank the analog stick from the PS1 and just wire it straight into a custom controller. Soldering iron would be your friend there.

well the playstation controllers are not just shift register driven, like most older pads (atari excluded) they use a fairly pita serial protocall course in this day and age it wo…

Using the analog playstation thumbstick with an Apple II would be really nice. Has anyone done that?

I love mine, I Don't have any floppies to run it though! I have a beige ][e with the same Monitor ][ with the green phosphor! It's so retro! ]['s FTW

It has confounded me for a while that I somehow have managed to not acquire an Apple IIe for my retro-computing collection, but that problem has now been solved. I turned up a loc…

I'm not really concerned, I won't be using OSX with it much at all. Thanks for the info though, kind of a shame to think OSX makes so many invisible files.

Also formatting floppies in OS X is a bit hit-and-miss. It won't do the part where it goes back and eliminates bad blocks. You also don't get the 100% same full capacity for some…

While the amount of PC related stuff is annoying, instead of creating a lounge thread for each one, perhaps a sticky thread for the whole she-bang and we can get back to talking ab…

++ It seems like we have a plethora of suggestions for the lounge lately. While the amount of PC related stuff is annoying, instead of creating a lounge thread for each one, perh…

Of late I have noticed that the Lounge is full of Non-Mac Conquests. Now its great to hear what people has been able to find/salvage but should we not have all that in a separate …

What if it was just Conquests, and sub-forums with "Apple" and "Non-Apple"? It is a bit bothersome. I like to read the conquests, but Not every single one like "new Amiga" and the…
