    Display Card 670 on IIci - Distorted video

    Hello, I recently purchased a Macintosh Display Card 670 for my Iici, and it is outputting distorted video. I've tried a few of the NuBus ports with no change in result. On board video works fine. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. The Iici has of course been recapped.

    iBook G3 Clamshell USB port issue

    Hello. I recently added to my iBook collection, with a Graphite SE joining the ranks. While it does need some cleanup, it's in decent shape and works okay. The issue I'm having is with the USB port. While the USB port is detected in System Profiler, it does not detect any devices that are...

    Powerbook 3400c Ebay find (finally)

    Nice find! I got my 3400c last year and I love it. I stuck a SD-IDE card as its internal HD. My advice is to be careful with the mouse clicker. It's a piece of plastic under there that gets brittle with age and can break off. Mine has been repaired, that's how I know. I got very lucky as I...

    SE/30 MacCon PDS card not detected

    I have been fighting with this for hours and decided to finally just make a post and see if anyone has ideas. I recently acquired a MacCon SE/30 ethernet card. Upon installing it in my SE/30, the EtherTalk installer does not recognize it as an option. The MacCon's green light is steady on when...

    Strange Mac SE Floppy Issues

    Hello! Recently, I found the little gear in my Macintosh SE's (800k) floppy drive broke and I set out to replace it. Upon receiving the replacement gears from Shapeways yesterday, I installed the new one without issue. I then buttoned the floppy drive back up, and it seemed to work. Upon...

    Color Classic Analog Board issue

    Hi, I recently followed the Color Classic analog board recap guide here: https://recapamac.com.au/macintosh-cc-analog/ Upon doing it, my CRT screen only shows this: Anyone have ideas? This is disheartening to see, especially considering it worked pre-recap. Thanks for any help that can be...

    Color Classic SCSI2SD issue

    I don't know if I had but I did follow some tutorial. Either way, my issue was related to a firmware issue with the SCSI2SD. The creator sent me a firmware file that ended up fixing it.  Word of caution though, the creator does not seem to like you emailing him with issues.

    Color Classic SCSI2SD issue

    Hello! I tried googling this issue to no resolution so I thought I may give you fine folks a shot. I am in the process of restoring a Color Classic I acquired about a month ago. It was quite a steal at $80, but has given me headaches that I'm still in the process of fixing. I have already...
