just scrape some soldermask off of the trace with a knife and be careful

Well, I tried recapping and, of course, one of the pads came off. I now have three useless LC motherboards. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", …

Deck II was definitely dsp aware. SoundEdit 16 also works, as I recall, but it has been a long while since I fired up the 840av for these purposes. Do you know about this FAQ docu…

Perhaps this is the reason the II FDHD requires 6.0.2, due to the different pin configuration from the SIMM to the chip? Click to expand... Nope, did you know that the original…

The original Sony drives should work fine with the Rev. B ROM upgrade and up. Check your drive against this tech note. Confirm which yours is. Based on Apple's description, I would…

Mmm, get a load of that CRT.... [)] ]'>

That website, running off of the Mac Portable, is impressively responsive.

When I was making disks on my PC to install programs on my Classic II I ran into the same problem. My classic II spit every disk back out at me, even if I tried to initialize the d…

Interesting tidbit. One of the floppy drives was once the property of Apple computer. There is a green sticker on the side.

I would say yes

I actually just ordered a CF-IDE adapter. Apparently these work very well in the 2300c. CF to SCSI would be a bit of a trick. Maybe I should look into that one for 280c owners.

Why don't you replace the HDD with a Tray Loader CD? That way you can attach the entire HDD Plate to the Tray, so that it'll pop in-n-out of the side when the CD cycles. You'll ne…

Glad to hear you finally got the beast up and running. Click to expand... Well, I didn't get to enjoy it for long. I packed it all up and got it shipped off to the "storage fac…

Here's another idea: build a card that replaces the HDD with a CF or SD card, wifi and bluetooth... and then send me two of them for testing purposes ;-) There are cards like th…

Is this an FDHD or upgraded SE? No, it's a plain vanilla SE with 20 Mb Miniscribe and 4 Mb ram. What OS are you running on the SE? 6.08 I think Are the disks locked? No Do the d…

The UltraDocks are really awesome! They're the MiniDocks with the huge empty space in the bottom, into which one Japanese Hacker put the AC Adapter, IIRC. I mention this because I…

Luckily, Apple derived a solution to this when it created 32-bit QuickDraw, and it is quite simple. Every time 32-bit QuickDraw access VRAM in the slot space, it uses a trap (SwapM…

As in literally found ... like on the street? Click to expand... Not completly. I got an email yesterday and said he did not want any money for them. It was a project that wa…

If you ever get that working, I'd happily pay far-too-much for one, if my budget even remotely permits. (Sadly, right now, my budget for such things is ZERO.)

Nope. You got me. Here's a check list: Is this an FDHD or upgraded SE? What OS are you running on the SE? Are the disks locked? Do the disks work properly on the internal drive…

Not sure that's his problem guys ... a little clarification: how did you make these disks? On your PC? Or on the Mac? If you made them on your PC, make them on your Classic instea…

That is an interesting find - thanks for linking it. I'm not sure that 20MHz out of 500 is worth worrying about, but IIRC, there were other tweaks made to the 6100/66 board apart …

Glad to hear you finally got the beast up and running. The last time Rufus the cat caught an early morning mouse, he left the severed head on the floor in my room for my eve…

Ding ding. We have a winner. I have some friends who DO have the hardware hacking skills. Basically, I want to build an ethernet adapter into a floppy adapter's chassis, and use s…
