    Unable to get Sonnet Presto 040 clone to work on my Color Classic

    Hi! I have the extra VRAM removed for all the tests I did, as I knew even the official documentation mentions incompatibilities with it installed in the CC, so sadly that can't be the reason. Thanks for thinking along though, I appreciate it!

    Unable to get Sonnet Presto 040 clone to work on my Color Classic

    Adding that I have also tried the v3.0.1 and v3.1 versions of the drivers, yielding the same exact results. This is not entirely unexpected though, as Bolle had already told me the 3.x drivers wouldn't work with this card. Still, adding it here to have everything in one place. The only...

    Tokamac build and programming XC1736 chips

    I recently got a card made by Bolle himself and have been trying to get it to work with my Color Classic, but to no avail. I was kindly pointed to this thread from one that I have started the other day. I was wondering if any of you that had previously run into the issue of a system refusing to...

    Unable to get Sonnet Presto 040 clone to work on my Color Classic

    Thanks so much for the information! Oof, this is rather unfortunate, especially as a person there shared they have the exact same experience with an LCII. This does not seem to bode well for getting this card to work :(. I'll post over there in the hopes that they did indeed find a solution...

    Unable to get Sonnet Presto 040 clone to work on my Color Classic

    Odd, the v2.0.1 drivers I was linked to by Bolle have an image of a disk that just says "Presto 040," and the same exact image is shown here on the Garden as being "Presto Plus" drivers. The latter is probably wrong though, as the included PDF and ReadMe of the v2.0.1 linked to don't make any...

    Unable to get Sonnet Presto 040 clone to work on my Color Classic

    Hi! I tried the two specific versions Bolle told me work with this card, which are the Presto (non-plus) variants. They had shared the v1.3.1 drivers directly with me in a DM and linked to the v2.0.1 drivers as being known to work too. Both yielded the exact same results for me after placing...

    Unable to get Sonnet Presto 040 clone to work on my Color Classic

    Hi all! I recently purchased Bolle's Sonnet Presto 040 clone for use with my Color Classic, but I've so far been unable to actually get it to work. I thought I'd post a request for help here so that I don't have to keep bothering Bolle directly as I don't think their card is the issue. I just...

    It's insane, isn't it?

    jmacz journey

    You know what, you're probably right. It always felt a bit odd to me that a mounting bracket could somehow be essential in the speaker working, but since it is quite a strong spring-loaded bracket (much stronger than a tiny speaker really needs), I thought it might just be some weird kind of...

    jmacz journey

    I've not fixed it yet, but I think it's just the metal bracket that holds it in place being somehow required to allow for the speaker to actually produce sound. As you might recall, you had already installed a 3D printed part on the left-hand side of the speaker's bracket mount thingamabob. The...

    jmacz journey

    Yesterday by chance I shared my journey on fixing the display of the 5300c I had purchased from you. I ended up going with affordable polarizing film I found on AliExpress as other options were a bit too costly to have shipped to where I live. Even though nothing about what I had done was...

    Macintosh Color Classic occasional screen instability/brightness jump

    Hi! I did measure voltages last year, but at the time I could find nothing wrong with the voltages as measured from the molex connector. I could try measuring them again, but I don't think this is it, sadly. Yeah I sure hope that's not the case either.. I am not sure how I could check if this...

    Macintosh Color Classic occasional screen instability/brightness jump

    Hi all! It's MARCHintosh, and so I really wanted to give myself a push to see if I could finally fix the display instability my Color Classic has been having for as long as I've had it. This has been a project I've been working on off and on for a bit over a year now, hopefully with your help...

    iMac G4; failing capacitors?

    Apologies for the belated response! Life got in the way. You know, this does explain it much better than I did. It sounds like if it has a cut-off filter that is set too generously, or it simply takes too long for it to get turned off when sounds need to be made heard. As the Apple Pro...

    iMac G4; failing capacitors?

    Hi all! I have a gorgeous iMac G4 that I was able to find (with difficulty) where I live late last year, and I've been enjoying it a ton since getting it. I have replaced its fan with a Noctua one, upgraded its stock CD drive to a DVD one, and have a basic IDE to mSATA adapter in there to...
