Dear 68kMLA Community, My times on this forum have been wonderful. I have enjoyed learning about the vintage Macintoshes from all of you, and I would not be in this position with …

What are the GB sizes of the drives in the order that you replaced them? It is possible that there isn't enough electrical power to run the drives or there is a problem with the p…

Great, thanks for the responses. I will open up the SE tomorrow and attempt the transplant. I expected that I'd need the SCSI cable from the Classic II, so I've held onto that an…

System6+Vista, Adding a SCSI HD to a dual 800K floppy SE is easy. I've done it before with mine, but I ended up with some obstacles. For one, the SE didn't have the SCSI ribbon …

I have a mac cube that ran fine for about a year and the hd failed so I put a drive I pulled. this drive worked for a couple of months and it started having problems it would spoo…

I just removed the resistors, which was incredibly difficult, my 15w iron didn't seem to melt the factory solder very well, and then just cut small wires, tinned them and soldered …

Yeah thats what I've read, but just to see if it works. Ahh whatever. I just want a working Compact. xx(

Thats pretty cool, I got 2 Free clamshells from my school, and may even get some more. 1 Graphite 466 and 1 Blueberry 300, I'd like Tangerine and Lime though. My school does not ha…

Ahh, yes...there really is something about the simplicity of older Macs that just seems to.....work that newer machines lack....

You can just ditch the resistors and use rear window defogger paint you know. Also trace pens or whatever they are called. Can't get em where I live though. >_>

If someone here is bidding on this, please let me know. I will try to win them, but if there is an Australian member about to purchase these and they are willing to upload them, t…

I ended up overclocking it to 400 mhz, I didn't try 433 because I didn't want to risk messing up soldering twice if it didn't work. http://img401.imageshack.us/img401/7540/400k.jp…

I should get around to buying a dock for my PowerBook Duo 2300c; haven't been able to acquire one yet. :O

I pulled my trusty BookKeepin' 2300c out of mothballs when all my other computers were temporarily belly-up. It's a nice feelin', all warm-n-fuzzy even, to fire up a trusty compan…

Anybody got a link for a free download? My head hurts from all the freakin' marketing-ploy garbage polluting Google hits these days. jt xx(

Either way, it'd be great if someone here was to buy them and put them up on youtube or something - if I had some disposable income I'd be doing it, but I currently have no access …

If I recall correctly, 10.2.7 was ONLY for the G5 PowerMacs. It was when the G5 was released, so they made 10.2.7 the exception for public release for other machines. So if you h…

I've read that it was pulled due to bugs.

I've got the Mac Video/ADB Version of that SwitchBox, is that what you've got there? If so, THAT is an awesome 68k peripheral conquest all on its ownesome! jt *drools on HP_Mini…

Wow interesting! I have heard things about 10.2.8 being bad. And also 10.2.7, what happened to it? On my graphite clamshell I used a 9.1 disk and then updated to 9.2.2, I then wip…
