I've looked everywhere and I cannot find a clear and concise instructional for how to do this, so I'm asking here in hopes of somebody being able to direct me to some good instructions, or lay it out for me.  What I want to do is format a HDD on a 575LC and do a fresh install of OS 7.5.3...

Anyone know I can get one of these? I looked on Mouser but didn't see any. I did see a .1uf 50v, is that the same? Thanks for your help!

So I was trying to transfer some games from my LC 575 to my Macintosh Classic (internal drive is busted, so I had to use an external drive) and it doesn't seem as though they use a compatible file structure? Does that sound correct or is something amiss here? The external drive is a M0131. Thanks!

I plan on upgrading my three Macs (LC575, Performa 575 and 6115CD) to full 68040s. I've seen a few places claim you need to paste and heatsink your processor. Is this correct?

So my order from mouser came in and I'm somewhat confused. I have to replace 16v 47uf cans and the capacitors I got for that seem correct, but the 6.3v 10uf capacitors I got are...shockingly tiny. I don't get how these could replace a can...I'm not even sure they're long enough to bridge the gap...

Ok, here's where I am. What's the easiest way to swap one monitor for another? Seems almost impossible considering the monitor is attached to a board that doesn't look like it will just slide out. Anyone have instructions for such a swap?

Anyone know where I can find one? Tried some google searches, but surprisingly, nothing came up. Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing. If anyone has a line on one, I'd love to know where it is. Thanks!

Running Mac OS 7.5. The previous owner set their icons to flowers. I'd like to change it back. How do I do this?

Trying to play Moonbase on my Macintosh Plus, but good grief, it keeps making me swap the system tools disk with the moonbase disk over, and over and over and over. Is there a better way to be doing this? Please tell me there's a better way!

So I'm practicing my recapping skills on a mainboard for a 580CD. Only problem is, I don't have a 580CD to test it in, but I'm curious to know if it works or not!  Would somebody with a 580CD be interested in testing it for me? You can keep the board and I'll even cover shipping. All you have...

Is there a way to tell from looking at one if it has an FDHD or not? Thanks!

Comes with Monitor - Monitor Tray - Keyboard and Mouse. Seller is asking $50. What do you think? Should I go for it? Oh, and he says it worked the last time he plugged it in, but doesn't have a power cord for it anymore. That certainly throws up red flags. Don't these use standard power cords?

I have a 580 logic board collecting dust and i've decided to put it to use. I have a couple functioning systems that I want to recap, but since I'm new to the process, I want to practice first. I'm using the instructions detailed here: http://www.classicmac.net/reference/caps/ My first...

I've been wanting to buy a 575 for years, but I can never seem to find any via craigslist or any other local sources and I've been unlucky in getting any off of ebay (won once, arrived completely smashed to bits). I'm getting to the point where I feel like maybe I should just buy a 580 off ebay...
