    Color Classic Mystic Mods

    I was able to load 8.0 via floppy and then update to 8.1 via LocalTalk transfer of the image. It's a really fun, stable computer now!

    Color Classic Mystic Mods

    Thanks. The screen is perfectly readable. A bit small, but nothing that I have to strain to see. I did not know about the overclocking mod? Any sources for that?

    Color Classic Mystic Mods

    Update on the Mystic mod. I printed the Mystic backplate that I found on this forum post: It fits perfect and looks pretty great! Thanks 360alaska!

    Color Classic Mystic Mods

    I finished my Mystic mod last night and installed my LC575 board into my CC. Went really well. I used a hobby knife to cut the traces, first scoring them with the blade and then turning it over to the dull side and scraping the copper trace away through the score marks.    So far it is very...

    Color Classic C4 and C5

    I have done this same thing with a printer and it worked pretty well. Eventually, the heat from the printer caused it to dislodge. Anyhow, I am going to issue a refund to my buyer so all is well here. I don't need to fix this board. Thanks for the advice either way.

    Color Classic C4 and C5

I would like to know where to connect a jumper wire from the cap to the destination of the trace. I cannot seem to find a schematic of the...

    Color Classic C4 and C5

    Can someone please tell me where C4 and C5 connect to on the main board? I repaired one back in the summer. It had a few weak pads on C4, but I was able to get them to stick. It has worked and been 100% stable for the last 6 months.  I traded it to a friend in Singapore and shipped it to him...

    Macintosh Classic II Rescued!

    yes. Any computer with USB port and Linux installed should be able to handle this. Does not have to be a Pi.

    Macintosh Classic II Rescued!

    That is a sweet machine. It looks super clean. Good job on the rescue.  I have a blog where I wrote about how to build a serial to Ethernet bridge using a serial cable, USB adapter and a Raspberry Pi. No Ethernet Card is required in the Classic Mac at all.  You can see my article...

    Apple IIc power supply

    I see there are quite a few on ebay. Although I think you can use a 12v 1.5A power supply and a 7 pin DIN plug. There is a great thread on Applefritter about this here: https://www.applefritter.com/content/apple-iic-power-adapter  (not my thread, and I have not built one of my own, so "great"...
