Adding an LCD to a Color Classic — #5

This seems too easy. Am I missing something? Click to expand... Assuming you're putting in a VGA/SVGA capable motherboard, nope. And that's a darn good price for a monitor wi…

Adding an LCD to a Color Classic — #4

Trag, search the forum for CC mods. This has been covered a lot. There are some pretty sophisticated ones. I have not heard about vacuum formed Plexi either, but you do not need it…

SE/30: Endless startup loop? — #18

I formatted the a floppy as a 1.44 MB FAT disk Click to expand... I don't believe you will be able to use a FAT formatted floppy as a boot disk. It must be formatted HFS.

Plus Analog Board C1: Will 4 uF work? — #8

I'm not worried about getting a discount on a $3 part. Mine arrived yesterday, I hope to find some time to do the repair and test the board some time this week. I bought a couple…

Plus Analog Board C1: Will 4 uF work? — #7

Sell the extras (for a reasonable price, of course), and you will make back your shipping and could be a benefit some users here (some of whom live outside the United States). But…

Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive — #28

If you are going to emulate the 400K drive itself, it is completely dumb. The IWM in a first generation Mac is exactly the same as the IWM in an Apple //c or an Apple II non-integ…

Solid State Drive (SSD) in SE/30 — #6

The best SSD for the SE/30 is a drive that is made in the stock form factor (3.5") and already has a 50-pin SCSI connector. Indeed, one probably couldn't do much better than this:…
