There is also the possibility to fix that 7.x bus error in software somehow. I did that on my Mystic but totally forgot what you had to do.
Edit: now that was easy... http://colou…
I seem to remember just removing a resistor fixes this. I never did the video upgrade to my classic and it boots OS's before 8 just fine.
I think this site details what I'm talkin…
The biggest I have tried as 20 gigabyte (used a powermac laptop hard disk with adaptor) . Only issue is having 10 partitions as that fills up the screen with drives. The Mac is …
I would suspect that these machines can accept drives up to 128 GB, like they're contemporary PC counterparts (I'm not 100% certain of this, but it seems logical that it would EDIT…
Oh wow I was literally using one about an hour ago. Mines installed in a Quadra 800. My hints are:

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…

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…
