Hi all,
I’ve got a problem with a Macintosh Plus that I’ve not come across before. If the machine hasn’t been used for a while (i.e. a week or more), it takes a few minutes for the CRT to illuminate after powering it on.
If I have been using the Plus one day then power it off and use it again...
Yes, unfortunately the US and International analog boards for a 128, 512 or Plus just aren’t convertible. You could always buy a replacement analog board for the region you’re after though and swap it out. Depends how attached to the machine you are ☺️
Hello folks. I've installed a SCSI2SD v5.1 in my Color Classic and it's working great :)
However, I'm trying to work out how I can transfer (write) files from my modern Mac running OS Mojave to the HFS formatted SD card that holds the System 7 install for the CC.
What is the best way to do this?
Thank you! I have a feeling in my gut that the communication between the card and the router is the issue. I'll get myself a 10mbit hub/switch and report back when I can.
@mraroid this the router I’m connecting it to.
Specs state it’s Ethernet 10/100/1000 compatible :angry:

@mraroid It sure did. The manual has a section on how to install the card in the Color Classic so it is 100% compatible. It's also compatible with System 6 and 7.
The driver does a check when you install to ensure compatibility and that the necessary software is installed.

The router IP address is 10.0.0.1 and I checked my in the control panel at the IP addresses of every other device on my network to ensure there was no clash with the .6 that I chose. The Color Classic doesn't ever show up in the connected devices list. I tried changing the...
@mraroid According to the manual a green LED (link integrity) light indicates a good connection to the hub.
But mine is a blinking GREEN LED, so I'm not sure.
@mraroid There are two LED lights on the card, next to the Ethernet port. The top one flashes green when you plug an Ethernet cable in.
My router is a Netgear with IP address 10.0.0.1.
I don't know whether to use Classic networking of Open Transport. I can't get it connecting under either...
@davidg5678 Thank you! This sounds absolutely ideal. At the moment the the Color Classic isn't connected to anything, that's what I'm hoping your solutions helps me with :)
I've got the Fetch FTP app already on the machine and MacTCP came installed as part of 7.5.5. I'll go on your...
I have a Color Classic with an Ethernet card installed running System 7.5.5 and was wondering if it's possible to share files between it and my modern Mac running 10.14.6.
It's been so long that I've done any networking in System 7 that other than switching on File Sharing I'm at a loss where...
