The original SE (4 SIMMs are angled) doesn't have much clearance for the motherboard, a SE30 with the 8 SIMM slots (that stick straight out) will not fit. The difference between a …

I would like to have a 1.44 MB floppy, but I think I read somewhere that it would require a logic board upgrade, and then I wouldn't be able to use a second built-in floppy. Can an…

Very nice! There's just something about these compact Macs that you can't describe until you use one. You could get addicted to them. I like how the external fits nicely under the …

I spotted that auction! Great job on the conquest!

I have that same Rodime drive on my Plus... it is indeed quite loud.

I bought this on eBay a few weeks ago and it arrived yesterday. It's an SE dual 800k (sticker on back says 1MB RAM, but it actually has 4 or 5), that came with a Rodime 20 Plus ext…

It is Macintosh Classic II with an 80 MB HD, 4 MB of RAM and with the Connectix RAM Doubler installed. The hard drive functions just fine and has a fresh install of OS 7.5 on a die…

Although the drive may very well need to be cleaned, there hasn't been nearly enough troubleshooting to establish whether a dirty drive is his problem. Indeed, it might be argued t…

Yesterday I saw that they still had an LCIII, WGS 6150, LC, Color Classic, and SE on sale for $10 a pop in the back. Go Austin Computer Works! Click to expand... OMG, ARE YOU O…

As I said in my first reply to this thread, I've found that 3-in-1 multipurpose oil or silicone grease work well. WD-40 is not a lubricant, and won't last long at all. White lithiu…

I went back today. I think you confused the Classic for a Color Classic. Everything else listed is still there. I would like a classic mac, but I want one I can add ethernet to. I…

I guess we still need more information. What model is your Mac? Is there a (working) hard drive, properly formatted with a valid system installed? If there is no boot volume, then …

Yesterday I saw that they still had an LCIII, WGS 6150, LC, Color Classic, and SE on sale for $10 a pop in the back. Go Austin Computer Works! Click to expand... OMG, ARE YOU O…

If they have a color classic, I think I will make space for that. Actually I have a use for it. I may swing by this afternoon and see if it is still there.

Haha well thanks. Yes I assumed WD-40 is not the way to go. The cable is seated just fine and it seems as if everything else is working no problemo. I use a Roland JV-1010 as my …

@Redjack: Wait, you walked away from a $10 Colour Classic? :O 8-o :?:

Titaniums are a bit of a pain to remove the logic board, at least compared to newer Macs. I helped a friend transplant some guts of one Titanium to another and it took a lot of fid…

I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no means and electronics or computer whiz, just a musician who's interest is sparked by things operating at the brink of …

I've had the disk drive out, cleaned it, lubricated it, and it seems to know when there is a disk in the drive because it spits it out upon start up, unless that task is something …

I guess I'm used to forums that move a bit faster, I do apologize, I'm just very eager to get this setup working. I'm using it for live performances with my band and I'm by no mean…

No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relating to the logic board ne…

So if everything else on my machine is functioning as it should be, can I conclude that the floppy drive has indeed pooped the bed?

7) Use a floppy drive cleaning diskette/kit to clean the read/write heads of the drive. Although this can be done manually with rubbing alcohol on a cotton swab, it is safer to use…

Thanks for the advice. No disk works in it at all, the drive doesn't even try to read it when I pop one in. I'm thinking that it is either fried or there is a weird problem relati…

I didn't see the Color Classic when I was there; maybe they brought it out after I cleared the shelf. I remember a couple years ago I saw a Color Classic set there for the bargain…
