Welcome mate. :) I have a snow 600 I built from parts of about 5 different machines and a graphite 500 DV SE I took back to a bare chassis and CRT and rebuilt due to the internal plastics being splintered and demolished... Theyre definitely two of my favourite machines in the collection. They...

Also, you absolutely MUST open and bookmark this one on your old machine... http://home.mcom.com/home/welcome.html I took my Color Classic's web-virginity after 22 years with this particular page displayed in MacWebs. It is worth it... trust me. :)

Also if you can access this from another newer machine to glean individual url's... http://www.404pagefound.com/ And this one... http://mentalfloss.com/article/53792/17-ancient-abandoned-websites-still-work I also had intentions to eventually build and host a very simplistic  page that is...

Definitely good advice on both accounts... Even if the AB caps havent yet failed, one day they will, and you don't want electrolyte spewed all over the surrounding area when a cap does rupture as you will have to clean everything to be sure prevent damage. As for the batteries, whilst the...

Was there any particular reason for using radial caps instead of SMD's or was it simply a question of availability? In any case it is a nice clean job. :)

I found a place that retails high-bass speakers for model railway applications that are dimensionally and aesthetically basically a match to the iMac G3 enclosures... I was meaning to order a set and try my luck but got sidetracked then my PC died and I couldnt remember the suppliers name so it...

Hmmmm I won't rule A/B issues out entirely, however the radials on the A/B tend to be a little sturdier than the crappy little cheap surfacemounts that Apple used on the logicboards. A lot of the time failing A/B cap issues will manifest themselves as video problems such as wiggles or waves...

I beleive SCSI2SD is what the cool kids are using to get around this whole issue nowadays. :)

Gentlemen, please...

Classic II's have terrible capacitors... Whilst there may not be corrosion on the board, they could still have leaked and the goo could be shorting contact pads. Whilst a cursory glance may show the board as looking good, a closer look may reveal leaked electrolyte which may show as stickiness...

Mmmmmm given that it is a Prodrive ELS i would not get hopes up as far as resurrecting it. They are a rubbish piece of equipment all told. I have IBM drives of that era going strong after more than 20 years, whilst a large portion of my Quantum Prodrive units had already gone pearshaped a good...

Inboxed you about bezel macman! :) Definitely an improvement over the lack of bezel I currently have hahah And yeh I really do enjoy using the CC... it is an absolute slug even by 68k standards, but it is small, functional and user friendly. I used to use my sisters one (which is my currently...

I don't find it at all a challenge to use OS9 for most tasks... as mentioned earlier in the thread, I use my (admittedly slightly tickled but still  thoroughly obsolescent by 3 hardware generations) 9600 very regularly with 9.2 and a modest G3 upgrade. Realistically under 80% of situations it...

Cheers mate! :) Yeh the CC with the QT sticker was owned by my godmother since it was brand new... got handed down in the early 2000's with a bunch of things. Still have the warranty papers, manual and some software somewhere or another too :) The other CC that I restored was my sisters and...

Latest addition to my towers of power collection... a sad and lonely, long forgotten Sawtooth 400. Quick PMU reset and it runs like clockwork. :) I havent decided what to do with it just yet, I'm sure it will get put to some good use soon enough though. :)

Also... having read your last post, Lombard or Wallstreet/PDQ still retain a SCSI port. :)

If you want a solid System 7 capable laptop, the 1400/133c or 166c are very nice little units that are reliable and fairly fast... if you want something a bit more usable, I'd consider something OS compatible, which will still be able to interface with OS7 via a network. If the CC has ethernet...

Yep, open in electrical terms means open-circuit... essentially this means there is no electrical conductivity between point A and point B in a circuit indicating the circuit is broken due to a failed wire, trace, joint, or component, or in the case of a component such as a capacitor, the...

Never mind folks.. I hapened across an old thread that seems to confirm that the 200MP card will work fine :)

9600's seem to be finicky with flat or no PRAM battery on startup... power on, wait for the chime,  give it a few seconds, then power off and on again and it starts. Only seems to be with 9600's best I can tell. I have to do this with mine almost every startup because i havent bought batteries yet.
