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.

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…

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…

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.

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…

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…
