I'm in the picture taking mood tonight.. There's that dusty "SCREEN" PIF output board.

It very much sounds to me like a hard disk with bad sectors, a flaky drive PCB, drive cable, or (worst case scenario) onboard IDE controller. The last seems unlikely, as you have n…

Update: Well, I finally dug it out of the closet. I decided I was going to tear the sucker apart to see how hard it would be to replace the hard drive if necessary. Pulled up ifix…

I would suggest looking for some of the documents for the Color Classic "Takky" upgrade. Most of the links I have are dead, but I recall seeing a pinout for the motherboard edge co…

Okay I'm making progress...I've gleaned the A/B pinout from here : http://homepage2.nifty.com/frogeye/connector.html But I've read the CC uses composite sync. Pin 9 on the a/b 40…

Nice one! I once considered a similar project to a dying Classic, placing a miniITX or laptop board in it, but trying to find a 9" LCD screen* as I didn't have the confidence to p…

Members only? No such thing at MacHut . MacHut is sleeping (unfriendly voices say dead) since 2009. Get a few files, make a mirror for personal use or to share with the commun…

Does anyone have the pinout info? Or a link to the Apple manual that has it? I've checked every manual i could get my hands on and none go into that level of detail. I've done th…

Code: --limit-bandwidth=10k On OS X it's "--limit-rate" Is there any sort of Members-only area here? I may be able to mirror the Mac Hut pages on a small scale from my server.…

Will OSX boot into 800x600? I seem to recall there was a mod to force the CC display to this resolution ... Which for the purposes of this iTunes implementation should be perfectly…

This is great! Can't believe I missed this thread 2 years ago. I wanted to do this 3-years ago, but couldn't figure out how to get VGA out of the mono monitor on my Classic. I g…

I'm too tired to look it up. The signal pins are exposed through the motherboard connector, which will accept a VGA signal once the high-res mod is done. The pin out of the connec…

Hi nextse7en, are you able to post the pinout schematic for VGA -> Color Classic CRT? Been trying to do this awesome mod myself. The charm is truly in keeping the original…

Indeed, sorry about that.

I would suggest this commandline: Click to expand... You also need to add -e robots=off

Hi ladies! Turns out you have to pay DynDNS.org to use subdomains these days. Wich is why the mirror can't be accessed any more: http://machut.uberhost.dyndns.org/ Anyways, you …

What a great zine! Too bad I missed getting print copies and it is now defunct. At least the PDF copies are available.

Anyone know of any icon sets similar to Magnum Opus for System 7-era machines?

Well that didn't work out either. SCSI filter on the 7500's hard disk didn't change anything. Filter and terminator (and no internal drive) also didn't boot. I added an external h…

As to your problem, I'm still inclined to believe SCSI problem, but I would expect you to get to the flashing question mark with no cable plugged in. It's conceivable that it need…

As for the jumpers (partially documented here), J106 is open, J103 is closed. This seems to be the correct setup. Click to expand... That is a great find. Nice to know. I tri…

I read back over the start of this thread again. Just wanted to add some pieces of info. I too have two different brands of RAM. 4x Texas Instruments and 4x Accutek. I've tried ea…

The screen takes a bit of time to kick in, so it's possible that the SuperMac logo appears before the grey screen with the other drives. By the time the screen is visible the logo …

The SuperMac image is resident in the firmware for the video card. That is, it lives on the EEPROM chip on the video card. If you're not getting that screen with some configurati…
