Hi LaPorta, the zip file that NJRoadfan posted had everything I needed. Just in time, too. I had an exhibit at VCF East that starred my PowerMac 6100 and DOS card.  Thanks for the offer. I have what I needed, but maybe it’s worth posting what you have just on the off-chance it differs from the...

These are awesome, and exactly what I needed. THANK YOU! I wonder why they weren't (or didn't seem to be) in any of the other disk images that I downloaded? You are the best!

This is awesome, thank you. I am already on the right track based solely on this info, will try installing the drivers and let you know. Great site, I've been there many times. The drivers they link to are (sadly) only two floppies, one for Mac and one for PC. In fact, the link on the site was...

Hi all, I've been messing around with my Power Macintosh 6100 DOS compatibility card and have run into an issue finding an image of the CD-ROM that allegedly includes some additional drivers that were not included on the floppies (or were included on floppy in some versions?). Information I...

The picture is from Herb's RetroTechnology.com site.  He seems to take pictures of most of the stuff on his site with it sitting in the grass.   :)

Ahh, didn't see that you are over seas.  They seemed quite reasonably priced including shipping for me, but I'm state-side. Good luck if you decide to pick the project up again at some point.

Maybe the two links in this thread would be of-help? https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/29299-wtb-512kplus-flyback-transformer/

Congrats!   :)

Ok, thanks.  I did replace both of the CNY75GB opto-isolators, so I'll investigate the resistors and switching IC. Thanks again for the help.   :)

Thanks techknight, I appreciate the assistance.  I know it's been a while, but I'm poking at this machine again. Current status, I've completely recapped the analog board.  I had wanted to complete this, but needed to order some additional parts as there are some bizarre values on this board...

I had some pretty decent luck rebuilding similarly demolished mounts using standard "JB Weld".  I've used a lot of epoxy, this was the first I had used JB Weld for anything, and I can truly say that it's incredible beyond the shadow of any doubt.  Stuff sets like steel. Normal epoxy gives you...

According to the Apple II Wiki Reference, you can use a Apple UniDisk 3.5 (A2M2053) with a later version of the //c ROM. http://apple2.info/wiki/index.php?title=A2_3.5_Drives There was a really nice compatibility chart floating around, but I'm having trouble finding that right now. Found the...

It also depends how much you value your time and/or enjoy working on the machines.  For me, I'm OK not making a whole lot on resale, as I enjoy the process of repairing the machines.  Once they are up and running, I tend to enjoy them far less.  LOL

I've picked up my fair share of all of the LC series for between $25 and $40.  All of these wind up needing capping. The toaster Macs are "generally" under $100.  Most of them vary between $40 and $75 depending on condition, included accessories, functional status, etc.  The SE/30 trends...

Oooh, that's a great tip, and a great use for an older iPhone!!!

Nope, but that doesn't mean it isn't AWESOME.  Hahah.

Can you post a pic of the back side of the board, too?  Something overall like you did of the front? Thanks!

+1 on the Novus products, they are very good. Additionally, I'm not sure that it matters much considering the limited duration of application, but I generally stay away from ammonia-based cleaners around plastics.  They can cause damage/yellowing.  That said, my favorite cleaner for plastic...

Hi there.  Long time lurker, recently registered... Been having relatively decent luck restoring old Macintosh machines for my collection.  As luck would have it, the one I want to work the most out of my collection (the Macintosh Color Classic) has also proven the most difficult to repair...
