If you are not replacing components, then you don't really need to remove the analog board if you're just doing a bit of simple soldering. You have access to all the joints like it…

I dont think its a matter of caring or not, its a matter of now there is broken toxic glass n plastic smashed all over the front drive, non assholes would have just taken off with …

Thanks for the advice. What's the best way to get the analog board out without killing myself?

This look interesting as well: http://dreher.net/?s=projects/CFforAppleII&c=projects/CFforAppleII/main.php I've contacted the guy about the pricing and availability.

A solder sucker/desoldering braid isn't really necessary. A bit of solder wick placed over the solder and then heated up does the same thing - and for a lot less money.

I guess I should take it out because it could only cause complications. Unfortunately, it did not come with the output cable, but on a Color Classic do you really want the video c…

Is the 40 MB 2.5 SCSI HD a Conner? If so, then those weren't very reliable and had a tendency to die, so I'm pretty sure the HD's toast. The reason why it has no SCSI power connec…

8MB 0f physical RAM is not a bad complement, and implies that you have a 4MB daughter-card in place already. There is built-in VRAM enough to support mirroring on a CRT (two disti…

Well... I mean... if you're gonna leave stuff out on the curb (i.e. trash) what do you expect is gonna happen? If you really "cared" about it you wouldn't have trashed it, imo.

I'm on installing OS 8 on this machine. The HD utility in OS 8 does not recognize the HD as an Apple drive, so I used Lido again. Strangely Lido detects the drive as 78 gig, while …

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Put a dab of new solder to get a nice shiny look on the solder. Just DON'T DO WHAT I DID. Make sure you have a desoldering tool, in case yo…

A 2.5" only needs +5VDC so that should be easy enough. You can get pinouts of drives at http://pinouts.ru/pin_HD.shtml I was just looking online and there are adapters available. …

Nice score, especially the 6100!

Wow, great deal! :O The Macintosh LC 475 is a great Macintosh; I personally own one with a 9.1 GB Seagate and 16 MB of RAM, and I love it. and as for the dead hard drive in your…

Hi, a nice surprise from a friend: - LC475 - older style LCxx case, 32MB RAM/dead 80MB HD, a little lifeless at first but the old "jumpstart" of switching it on and off brought i…

Yes, sorry, presenter. I guess I should take it out because it could only cause complications. Unfortunately, it did not come with the output cable, but on a Color Classic do you…

Aaaa... the 6100 doesn't use IDE. It uses SCSI and I don't really remember an upper limit on the size of the hard drive. As long as you are running system 7.5.3 there really is not…

Worse things happen at sea y'know

Hi, I've looked at what I have, and I'm unsure how to follow this project. Let's see: I reopen my IIgs and looked inside it. There is no such thing as a way to get a 3.5" HD powe…

If you've never done any soldering before, I suggest you practice on an old junk board before taking to your Mac Plus board. It's very easy to apply too much heat for too long and…

You mean "à propos de cet ordinateur", missed it on my way to control pannel like 5 times... there is 2 lines for memory, integrated memory is 8192kb, total is 16384kb. Is that in…

to do it right you should remove and re apply fresh solder (and flux) if you just reflow you are adding alot of old oxidization and contamination to the joint, and it probably wil…

Here's what I get for leaving iMacs on the curb. The assholes threw the iMac against the ground, ripped off the copper yoke and degauss coil, and left the rubbish parts on the …

Oh noes!
