Nice work with the Classic, but I think the PowerForce G3 is the most interesting thing in your collection...

Good conquest, and welcome

Sweet! I just got into the 68k Desktops as of yesterday. I have a patched-together Quadra 840AV sitting behind me running 8.1. Not sure what I plan to do with it, but I will thin…

Can anyone e-mail me a copy of system enabler 065 version 1.1? All the download links appear to be broken at this point!

Don't believe everything you read on the internet - the Classic is awesome, no matter what anyone says. Make sure you're using system 6 and not 7 for a speedy and enjoyable experi…

good stash and welcome

Greetings, long time listener, first time caller here. Click to expand... Welcome aboard, comrade! :b&w: My house is starting to become a Mac museum... :lol: …

Yeah, I opened it up, it's a Classic motherboard. :-/ I kind of figured as much when the RAM I installed actually worked, well 1mb of it. Well crap, I got cheated. Anyone got …

Greetings, long time listener, first time caller here. Well, I've been lurking for several months now and I finally have a compelling reason to register and post. I've been a Mac u…

Yeah, as I said, both the Classic and Classic II use the exact same slot, just that they're wired up differently, due to the differing purposes for which they're used, so they're p…

picked this up. I am having problems with my adapter and the Quadra. I got the machine up and noticed it has NetBSD|M68k on it. That was interesting, freaked me out that it had …

Can the memory expansion board in a Classic be mistakenly installed in a Classic II? They have an expansion slot in the same place, don't they? (It's been a while since I had mine …

Picked it up from a friend since I am working on this project (Quadra 840AV, follow link to see the rest) Works great. It looks like a good pic believe it or not, despite having …

meanwhile you got me fired up to rip apart my sony adapter, its simple enough 1 switch apple (and its natural refresh rate) and forced 60hz vga (which is kinda crappy for a crt, bu…

Yeah I'll try a CRT and I'll update.

that is true, most decent lcd's will let you get away with 60-72 hz but usually in the standard form of VGA, whereas multisync (most after the mid 90's) vga could handle pretty muc…

Another thing I just thought of...when old Macs run at 640x480, they traditionally like to run at 67 Hz (the refresh rate used by a lot of Apple displays). This works fine on just …

Have a look at the processor - the Mac Classic uses a 16 Mhz 68000, whereas the Classic II uses a 68030. Alternatively, try holding down Command-Option-X-O at startup. If it is a C…

I have some VGA CRTs... Not apple ones sadly. This adaptor has worked before on another monitor. Which I tested it on. Here are some pictures of the device.

With all the issues they had, even back when they were new, I'd imagine that a working 1710 series display would be rather hard to find nowadays.

Either that, or depending on what gear you're in, you'll soon see a flashing set of red and blue lights in your rear vision mirror.

You said you've got some CRTs, maybe you could try one of those...there is a chance that the adaptor may be faulty.

I'm a little confused as to the advice being given here ... First, what kind is your hard drive and what is it attached to presently? To use the 1.0 disk image, you need a Mac th…

What you really want is an old, but undeveloped design. Well, at least that's what I want, what I really, really want … to make out of the spare parts I have from a plastics-chall…
