It means that the OS is corrupt or your HD has gone kaput. The Floppy disk could have also gone bad. Do you hear the HD spin up has it turns on?

Very good. I am on a campaign for a working compact.

Wow, nice SCSI cable hack! I wouldn't have been able to think of something like that. xD anyways, nice finds, and fair price for what you got! I've always liked the Macintosh SE/i…

Hi, For the first time in several years, I have unpacked my very old friend the Macintosh SE. We have moved house and I no longer have space to store her, so must put her up for s…

Thanks for the feedback crew, appreciate it. Dismantled the 512k today. Found some calcium marks from moisture along the base of the case, but thanks to Apple's design team thinki…

Thanks, the CC is running very stably right now and always booting in 32-bit mode. While it would be very cool to have the display mirrored on VGA, I think I am going to simply ta…

I'm also seriously considering buying a '040 too.

It is unlikely the Power R allows for screen spanning however, but you never know. Click to expand... No way, no how. Mirroring only.

I also has full 68040's. Let me check my stock and I will post back and let ya know.

I wanted to update a file and get this error in Safari & Firefox: "Files of the MIME type "application/zip" are not allowed to be uploaded." I can upload Stuff-Its howeve…

I might have 2 33Mhz full 040's. I will check in the morning.

Here is the link to a current Power R auction coincidentally for the 575. For a mere $87 it can be yours! LOL Click to expand... There are some cheaper ones in olde-mac-milt's …

If you are not replacing components, then you don't really need to remove the analog board if you're just doing a bit of simple soldering. You have access to all the joints like it…

Thanks for the advice. What's the best way to get the analog board out without killing myself?

A solder sucker/desoldering braid isn't really necessary. A bit of solder wick placed over the solder and then heated up does the same thing - and for a lot less money.

I guess I should take it out because it could only cause complications. Unfortunately, it did not come with the output cable, but on a Color Classic do you really want the video c…

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

Yes, sorry, presenter. I guess I should take it out because it could only cause complications. Unfortunately, it did not come with the output cable, but on a Color Classic do you…

If you've never done any soldering before, I suggest you practice on an old junk board before taking to your Mac Plus board. It's very easy to apply too much heat for too long and…

to do it right you should remove and re apply fresh solder (and flux) if you just reflow you are adding alot of old oxidization and contamination to the joint, and it probably wil…

This thread deserves more photos... My "Redneck Repair" to the hard disk. Simple enough, when there's nothing to secure the drive in... improvise! In the great war that us 68k Mac…

Okay, I've read the famous PDF about classic mac procedures, and I'm pretty sure I need to fix the solder connections on the J1 connector. I'm a little unclear on exactly what to d…
