    Macintosh Plus CRT not illuminating for a few minutes after powering on

    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...

    How to write files to a SCSI2SD

    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?

    Which SCSI2SD for Color Classic?

    I'm not having much luck in working out which version of the SCSI2SD would be the best to use to replace an internal HDD in a Color Classic. Heck, is a stock CC even compatible with a SCSI2SD? Thanks all.

    HELP: 120V Macintosh Plus analog board blowing F1 fuse

    I'm trying to rescue a US 120V Macintosh Plus that was gifted to me. The previous owner accidentally connected it to a 240V UK mains power supply without a step-down transformer. Whoops! The original 2.5A 250V fuse had clearly blown so replaced it at the same time as doing a complete recap...

    US 120V Macintosh Plus connected to UK 240V supply (conversion possible?)

    Looking for some advice from the Macintosh community collective mind. Some one has kindly offered me a Macintosh Plus that is a US 120V spec. They recently got it out of storage and forgot to use a step down voltage converter when connecting it up. Unsurprisingly the machine no longer powers...

    Hi folks. Can anyone point me in the direction of an exhaustive list of the the capacitors found on a Macintosh Classic I analog board? I’m surprised I haven’t been able to find a resource anywhere online that lists all capacitors found within the compact Mac’s... unless there is and I just...
