    SCSI2SD and Apple IIGS?

    I am pretty sure it is the Apple II high-speed scsi card. I will check when I get home. It looks like the picture anyways.

    SCSI2SD and Apple IIGS?

    I have a SCSI2SD card which I am currently using in my LC III. A coworker of mine has given me a complete Apple IIGS system complete with printer and a buttload of software. It has a SCSI card installed but the hard drive it came with does not work. According to the codesrc website...

    Printing to a Imagewriter II from Macintosh SE

    I was given a full Apple IIGS system complete with an ImageWriter II printer. I have gotten this printer working from the IIgs, printing from appleworks. When I connect it to my Macintosh SE, I select "ImageWriter" from the chooser, and then when I write something in AppleWorks and try to print...

    Looking for a desktop pattern

    Hello all, I am looking for a desktop pattern for Mac OS. I believe it is called "Copland blue." I do not remember what version of MacOS it shipped with, possibly Mac OS 8. Does anyone know what I am talking about? I googled it but all I could find was some mentions in a usenet group post from...

    File transfer with SCSI2SD?

    Hi all, I recently bought a scsi2sd card and am using it in a Macintosh LC III. I was able to configure it and put in a 4GB SD card, initialize it using a patched Apple SC HD Setup utility, and install Macintosh System 7.1 on it. It worked great. The next thing I am wondering is what is the...

    Can I get sleep functionality in Mac OS 7.5.5 or earlier?

    Hey PowerPup, this looks pretty good. Thank you. According to that site, there is a CPU suspend mode as well in the latest version... This will be nice as it takes forever to boot up/down my CC all the time.

    Can I get sleep functionality in Mac OS 7.5.5 or earlier?

    The title pretty much nails it. I have a Macintosh Color Classic with Mac OS 7.5.5 and I would like to have sleep functionality. I have heard that the CC does not support 7.6, and even if it did that would probably use too much memory. Is there some utility or something that would allow sleep...

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Hmm, no I didn't recap the analog board. I guess that would be the next logical place to look. I think the only way I can slide that thing out is if I am able to somehow unplug that scary looking red cable that connects to the CRT. Any clue on how to do this without killing myself?

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    why, because of a little humor? I have installed a custom power switch using as connections the two points that were in the picture provided by macallee69 provided. When I press it, about 50 percent of the time it chimes and boots up, the other 50 percent of the time I just get a grey screen. I...

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Hey macalle69, The continuity there was definitely missing. I patched it as you did in the picture, and now when I switch on the CC it immediately turns on without the power button, and when I go to shutdown it doesn't power all the way off until I press the power button. I suppose this is...

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Thanks techknight. mrpippy and EkriirkE have good advice. I was able to check a few traces successfully using the dimension method and holding it up to light, until my wife opened the garage door and called me a nerd and told me to come inside. I will continue this over the weekend.

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Ok, so assuming that "B" refers to the second group of connections on J13, and the pin numbering alternates top to bottom, then yes there is definitely continuity between pin 26 of that chip and pin 14 of J13B.

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Hi techknight, what I meant was this. I know that J13 is the edge connector, I don't know what the 'B' means, or what pin 14 means (14 from the left? from the right?) so I wasn't sure how to interpret your post. That is what I meant when I asked for more detail; what I was really asking for was...

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Does anyone have tips on how to trace vias? Traces are easy as they are on the same layer of the circuit and you can just look at them and see. Vias are hard because you can't see where they are going; they could be going to any layer of the printed circuit. I have thought about taking a picture...

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Hey techknight. I tested PSW to pin 24 and got a beep, connection is good there. I wasn't sure of your numbering system for J13. I touched one end of the multimeter to pin 24 of the chip and then ran the other end along the J13 edge connector. I got a beep for one of the pins. When you flip it...

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Ah, techknight! At last you have come to my aid. Yes, When I start up the computer I can see the clock seconds ticking, and with the new clock battery it will keep time even after it's been unplugged. So that's all well and good. My only guess is that there is something up with the connection...

    Macintosh Color Classic repair adventure

    Hey everyone! Major update. Late this morning I had a free moment so I desoldered the tantalum capacitors and removed them since they were soldered on so badly. I then proceeded to solder on some electrolytic "tin can" capacitors instead, which were a breeze to solder on compared to the tiny...

    Well the pram battery didn't solve it. I guess I can try removing the solder again and get rid of all the corroded stuff on the pads. Anyone else have any ideas before I give up on this project?
