    Color Classic no raster; black image and booting

    Hi all, I recapped a color classic analog board and after replacing a faulty TL431 it came back to life with a fair bit of pincushion distortion and a very bright screen. I got no brightness control from the front buttons or the OS so I turned G2 voltage down (pot on the analog board) in order...

    I've got a G3 that was given to me sometime ago and never got around messing with it. The previous owner reported that it has a power supply of sorts. I tried to power it on today and no green light comes up and I see no CRT activity other than some arcing sounds near the power plug. I have...

    Performa 630 compatible CD drive

    Hi, I'm very close to get a Performa 630 which didn't come with a CD drive installed. Is there any aftermarket SCSI drive I can install to make up for that or I need to use a 300i Apple drive.
