You seriously paid $110 for a yellowed Classic II? Oh dear...

I'm working on a fix for this, but how many users do we have here that have a Macintosh Portable with a drive that does not successfully startup? Typical symptoms include a spinup …

I read quite a few Usenet posts last evening on this subject, most from the late 80's. It looks like co-operative multitasking is going to be the way to go, unless one can get a ca…

Mac OS 9.2.1 should have all the required drivers/extensions needed to make sound work on that QS 2001. Have you checked to make sure that the sound wasn't muted? If that checks …

From the last mentioned website: "This board works hard while you're using your Color Classic. Performing the "Takky" modifications to your Color Classic only increase the stresse…

'Nothing to do with it' may not be on target if your lack is the correct firmware version for the newer G4. The DA requires 4.2.8f1. The QS in all likelihood needs 4.4.8f2, and O…

Well, you could use the LC 575 board, and save the CC board for later restoration.

Wonderful. Unfortunately I don't have a 575 board to get the other analog components for stereo speakers, but I don't know if 8bit 22khz sound is worth it for stereo anyways. Ver…

I've made some progress! Well, I cant get the internal scsi, but I have an external cd-r and an external hard drive & am booting os 8 from the external hard drive.... but …

So would the 575 board take any 72pin SIMM cards up to 128mb? I see many different manufacturers on eBay for 72pin. Click to expand... I think Mike sells the 64mb SIMMs on the …

The iBooks are always interesting; they take beatings well enough, which is good because they're such a horror to get into. Great score, hopefully you can get the little bugger go…
