I picked up a Quadra 610 this week that is in working condition. It chimes at startup and I can hear the hard drive spinning up and booting the machine. However, I get no video. I have an old Dell 4:3 VGA monitor and have connected it with a PTC Mac to VGA adapter (10 switches) and also a more...

I was just looking at the possibility of NetBSD for fun, since my machine can't do A/UX. I thought of the option of renaming the 8.1 image as well, just haven't tried that yet. I'll follow up with the guys on the discord channel too. Thanks

Not when the system won't start. When it does (with only one bootable image) I have double checked the startup disk on the control panel. I'm still wondering if this is more of an issue with Blue SCSI. Normally, it's great, but it does have its glitches. I suppose I'll have to take it up with...

Just a thought...maybe the BlueSCSI doesn't process the startup key commands

Nope. Those keys just result in a 'no bootable device' image on start. The SCSI ID 0 image is bootable. It works if it's the only image on the SD card. When the other images are included it doesn't work. The other images, including a CD image in the CD4 folder, are not bootable. On a different...

I have a Color Classic Mystic upgrade running System 8.1 on BlueSCSI. Is there a startup key combination to force a boot on a particular SCSI device? The only stuff I’ve been able to find is for M series and Intel Macs

I’ve got my Color Classic Mystic running, but I’m going nuts trying to get software on it. Sit files from Macintosh garden won’t open half the time, although sometimes I can get it in Basilisk first Anyway, I got After Dark 4 loaded. It comes with 2 screen savers. I downloaded the After Dark...

I put in the other 68040 processor and it worked. Also, fiddling with the monitor adjustments some more got it straightened out. Now comes all the fiddly work of installing extra software…

Understood. I purchased 2 of them knowing that was a possibility. I still have one I haven’t tried (which I’ll remedy soon). At the moment I’m getting software loaded, and I need to figure out why the screen is skewed. From what I’ve seen that might be due to a cap on the analog board This is...

Okay, I popped the original 68LC040 back in and the system booted. I have one more 68040 I might try later. I did some screen adjustments, and this is the best I got I’ll keep working on it. Next I need to get the OS working

Hi all. I recently picked up a Color Classic in good shape, other than a dead hard drive. It did boot up to the no-operating system prompt. I also picked up an LC575 logic board which looked to be in good shape, plus a couple of 68040 processors from eBay. I carried out the 640x480 mods to the...

I have a non metal tool. Unfortunately, there is no screw/thingie to adjust on that particular control

This one

So it is. Thanks. In any case the little adjustment screw is gone on the [checks notes] width inductor coil

The display on my SE sits at the right edge of the screen. I was going to shift it left and discovered the little adjusting screw in the rheostat is missing. Is there a way to fix that short of replacing it? The display is completely usable as is, but it looks off center
