Yeah, ignore what I said about the .bin files because I had no idea how to work WinImage. You can just use the NetworkImage file linked above somewhere.

I'm super happy that I *finally* got this Macintosh CC working that someone gave me for free! It's been a process especially since I'm pretty new to vintage mac repairs and such. The old board was super corroded, and can only now be used for parts. There are some photos of it on this thread: ...

SHE WORKS! Somehow, WinImage did what dd couldn't. Thanks for all the help!

My computer only runs Ubuntu. I tried using wine and WinImage but it didn't work out. When using your .img, I didn't get the error using dd that stated that the disk was out of space, so that's an improvement! My CC still spits out the disk though :/ EDIT: I'm trying to use WinImage on a...

Regardless, I'm kinda new to this whole world of vintage macs and I'm not really sure how to use another machine to get a System 7 boot drive. 

I've also tried 1.4 MB disks, with the same issue. I know someone with a Mac SE, but I'm pretty sure it only runs System 6?

Update! She turns on! Now to boot...

I have a Macintosh Color Classic that I just restored and I am attempting to create a System 7 boot drive for it. I have a "3M High Density 2.0 MB" floppy that I am writing an img file to using the dd command on Linux. I either get the error that there is no space left on the disk after a few...

Yeah, someone mentioned that earlier. I don't have on handy unfortunately.

Ohhhh I see it isn't the right adapter. I will go order an ADB cable then!

Not sure. Here’s a picture. 

Ok, thanks for the info. I have a USB to Svideo/ADB convertor. For quick testing purposes is it possible to use a USB keyboard to power on the CC using this convertor?

I don't currently have an ADB cable, but I am ordering one now. I've been thinking that the soft power should boot the thing, but the fan should start when the switch on the back is turned on, right? Is there any way to force a boot without the keyboard? EDIT: If I push in the logic board while...

I posted a while back about a Macintosh CC that came into my posession with serious corrosion. Someone gifted me a board that needed recapping, and I finally just got it back from maccaps. I plugged it into the machine, heard a slight whine noise, and got absolutely nothing when turning it on...

Thanks everyone! Sounds like this board is done for. I'm honestly surprised this thing turned on in the first place. My only remaining question - is any part of it usable for parts? Only a small portion of the board has the serious damage on it, and I would love to get it into the hands of...
