If you choose to take apart the Mac and clean the disk drive by hand, do yourself a favor and DO NOT lift up the upper head arm. That's the black plastic thing. You will PERMANENTL…

I imagine he means something that I have long wondered about hacking:
Use the floppy adapter *SOLELY* for the PDS dock connector and shell, and rig up an Ethernet chip (a la the o…

This is a very common ailment.
Step 1 is to take the Classic apart, and either to clean and lubricate the drive (Google is your friend here), or else to replace it with a drive fr…

Hallo,
I'm trying to get Cubase loaded up on a Macintosh Classic which is in my possession - it's going to be used for writing MIDI sequences to trigger events in Max/MSP which I'…

I can assure you, macmetex is most definitely NOT Steve Landon. I have traded with macmetex on multiple occasions, and he is a helpful, friendly, stand-up guy by the name of Rober…

If you end up with a spare, working Wallstreet, or one that needs relatively little to become functional again, I would be highly interested in purchasing one! A 12" would be DELIG…

Congratulations. From what I've read, those can be tricky to get spinning again.
(Actually, I've found that HD failure is the most frequent and most annoying problem that plagues …

Well, after receiving my HD20, I immediately plugged it into my 512K-upgraded 128. It would boot to the HD20 disk, try to handoff to the HD20, and crash.
I plugged the HD20 into …

Maybe if I run into an LC 550 I'll install it into the Colour Classic for fun

Good luck...I've actually never seen a Performa 550 (there was no LC variant, o…
When all is said and done there will be lots left over. Anyone looking for keys, trackpad assembly's, HD mounts, or other case parts let me know. We can work something out with shi…

I suspect that 20MB of RAM in the 2300 is barely enough to run 8.1, let alone 8.6 (8.5 is buggy, and 8.6 is a free upgrade). As Duo RAM is near impossible to find, I would second …
I'm looking forward to my 2300c. Can't wait and it may arrive tomorrow!
On another conquest (to save a new thread) I found a large tote full of Wallstreets...for free!
There are…

I have, however, recently acquired (by sibling proxy and at a distance of a 2 hr drive) a lot of parts which has in it an LC520 logic board

Hi there.
I'm testing some of my external 400k drives. Some of them have a perculiar problem which is completely the opposite of most of these drives: When you insert a floppy, it…
Good luck in your quest to find a 2100! I'd sell you mine, but its not working properly. I still use my MP 2000 all the time. They make great little tools and can definitely tur…

Because the extension improves performance greatly, enabling all the optimizations available. When I boot with my Sonnet G3 400 MHz in an 8500 without any extensions, everything ru…

A Color Classic with a 550 logic board is indeed a thing of beauty (I have one).
