I found a lot of value in this thread - I was battling Stuffit issues just this week, so, thank you @LaPorta and @Phipli - this all helps.

@imactheknife - no chime sometimes on the Classic II! (Classic I always chimed and started-up fine). Low voltage, okay, thanks for the insight. @LaPorta that make sense, intializing the "drives" themselves, good idea. Thanks!

A combination of both - some images were pre-made, and some were self-made blanks made with "Disk Jockey". They're made correct to spec (as far as I'm aware) for BlueSCSI. I didn't "reformat" or have to intiailize them once they popped up on the desktop with the Classic. Perhaps I should have...

Thanks for this suggestion.

Thanks for the replies/suggestions/questions! @LaPorta your questions spurred me onto to getting Basilisk II up and running (took a few hours) and good news for me; the .dsk images that I was using worked fine while emulating a Quadra and System 7.5.3. The images I had on BlueSCSI opened and...

No PRAM for 1990 Classic Macintosh? Okay, that helps, thanks. The Classic II definitely responds to PRAM reset, which is why I was confused. The drives are exactly (two) 2000MB and (one) 1000MB. They're .hda images on the ExFat formatted BlueSCSI SD card. Can't really "shrink" them after the...

Hope you can help! I just got these two machines back, and they have just been recapped - analog and logic boards. Mainly playing with the Classic I (with the thought that if I can get the files how I want them on the 'lesser' machine, they'll work fine (just faster) on the Classic II. However...

Agreed, not something you'd like to rush! I opened mine up, and got the cable out - indeed, very torn: https://imgur.com/a/xGeCggG Definitely putting it back isn't easy. Have you been able to test it yet? Also, how'd you repair the hinges? All my plastic bits were broken in mine too - but...

@k24a1 Wow, lucky you! I just got a 5260 in Dec.. (grew up with a 5200 as a kid) and whoa, everyone's right. they are super fragile now. They weren't back in the day. I snapped a tab on the logic board cover putting it back on, and I could feel it cracking as I lift it up. SUPER fragile. But...

Great computer! I use mine as a bridge machine between the 68K machines as a link to PowerPC and Intel (and beyond)! Very capable, keep it running OS 9 most of the time. Added a USB expansion card, internal SATA card, internal IDE-to-SD card adapter, and a USB zip-drive. Congrats!

Caps, I hope! I doubt it's as simple as that.. the hinge is badly cracked, and the prior owner used it as it was, weakening the ribbon (I imagine). I'll update when I get a chance to peek inside. I'm going to work with the assumption it needs both caps and ribbon repair. Won't be throwing it...

@OleLila how'd it turn out in the end? I have a PowerBook 180c that has a white and bright backlight, but, no video appearing on the screen - just like yours - it's likely the cable that's broken (the hinges were long gone - the user kept using it, despite being broken). I'd love to get this...
