I have one of the early "unbitten" bags, too. There must have been a run of at least a couple hundred, because my Apple][ is a late '77 rev. 2 motherboard with color killer and 6-c…

There are notes on the digital schematic of which parts are not present on the 128K board. The two boards are alike except the RAM array on the 512 obviously has 256K chips instead…

All I can say after watching this thread is that I hope I never have to remove a crt from any of my compact macs. Learned a lot though! Thanks guys.

Going down the list looking at the different models and their conditions I don't think that lot is worth dropping $350 on even if you lived next door to him. You've got 5 MDD's the…

dont know about the band, and as far as the vacuum you can safely release it through the little spout it was formed with maybe someone can chime in on how to actually do it, becau…

And that's why I posted links to Rescue My Classic Mac. Were all pretty busy and/or aren't prepared to burn a disk at any given time. Charity only seems to go as far as convenience…

I got the yoke off now (it just needed a little twist once the screws were loosened to break the grip of the glue). The only thing I need to get off now is the metal band around th…

Yeah...basically, an LC/Performa 550 or 575 board will just slot straight in, and will allow you to use virtually any RAM or LC PDS cards you currently have fitted to the 520. The …

and a fairly decent understanding of electronics. Click to expand... Not this guy here. Thanks for the detailed/informative info because it really helps me. When i bought the L…

Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums but have been a collector for awhile (roughly mid 1994), and have been following these posts for several years, and I have have to say they hav…

You can't use an LC580 board on an LC520 without performing some major major surgery - the LC520 (and LC550/575, and Colour Classic/Colour Classic II) use a different motherboard e…

I still say Suse Linux PPC is the way to go. Many things JUST WORK right of the box with that Distro. Ubuntu is good as well. Arch Linux, and then if you want to customize EVERY…

I can send you a set of disks, but they will contain the files directly off of Apple's Old Software List. They will be Disk Image files and the first file is saved in both Binary …

I am sure you are sick and tired of hearing this, but the fact that you are re-working such a key piece of software for the (real) Macintosh platform is hugely appreciated. Classic…

Look up: Richard Martin Belleville, MI 48111 on LEMswap, he has tons of working g4 macs in lots cheap, pickup only if you are in that area.

Are you saying that i can install the LC580 board into my LC520 ?

Two PM's and no response. tomlee actually is close to where I work.

Has "the bug" been fixed? It affects several forums I visit, where I have to turn off style sheets in order to read longer messages rather than get repeated portions near the botto…

Still no System Disks. Anyone? Click to expand... tomlee59 offered to meet you halfway (sort of,) or mail you one if you send him a self-addressed stamped envelope. PM him.
