That was it. It did not like the two 68882s, seems like an easy requirement to state. What is odd, at least to me, is that when I removed the FPU on the card and left the 68882 on the logic board the system was extremely unstable. Error -11 at random moments. Switching that and leaving the...

I have a Color Classic, it has been working great for a couple years (recapped logic and analog board). It’s as maxed out as it can be: 10MB of RAM, Max VRAM (added 256k) and I added a 68882 FPU as well. Today I installed a MacEffects Thunder card with 33Mhz 68030 and 16Mhz FPU. I get initial...

I obviously wanted the Micron Xceed Color 30 with the 256 Gray CRT Backplane upgrade but those are truly unobtanium, and when they do come up on eBay they go for thousands. I was able to find someone locally that is in the vintage computer scene and he had a Micron Xceed SE/306-48 that was...

Reminds me of mine. I picked it up recapped, both the motherboard and analog board. I added 64MB of RAM, a ROMINATOR II and a Micron Xceed SE/306-48 (which gets me unaccelerated 8-bit color) I have also added a SimpleModem v2 for some BBS fun….

@chillin Thats beautiful. I recently "upgraded" to a 91 4Runner so I am not actually taking on any more vintage care projects.

@volvo242gt Out of curiosity is your username the car you actually own??? If so I am jealous and want to make you a offer?!??!?!

This buy was a risk, normally the eBay sellers would have labeled a monitor in this condition for 200$ (you know, it says Apple) so this guy had no idea and basically it was just an old monitor to him (which is what it is). He was asking 30$ took 25$ with 50$ to ship…. It was low financial risk...

Found a nice, relatively non-yellowed 15" Multi Scan Apple Color Display for a really good price… The owner shipped it in a over sized box with nothing but a few newspapers to protect it while it traveled across the country.

Its funny because even System 7 Today has pretty out of date instructions on how to do this: https://system7today.com/osxos7cdburning Not sure why I never ran into Burn before, but the fact that I don't need to setup another computer just to copy something from Macintosh Garden to my older...

So I was digging out my 6200CD so my daughter could play some KidPix, and I discovered that was no longer installed. I couldn't use my Floppy EMU with that computer so I was faced with either getting it networked to download from Macintosh Garden or Burning a CD with some stuff I downloaded on...
