Revision 2, eh? Learn something new every day. Know my particular Mac was manufactured in '93. You can certainly use the pic.

It's a Macintosh Classic II. Other than that, I don't know how to describe the board. Here is a pic:

Sent a PM to the appropriate personnel for acquisition of capacitors, as I've recently been informed that a recap might be called for on my Classic II. I'll be blunt: I've no soldering skills whatsoever, and my last attempt at what should have been an elementary procedure turned out to be...

Tried the double-density trick. The FDD saw the disk as a DD, but again, no luck initializing. Here is the error I am always getting: "Disk initialization failed because the disk is defective!" My confusion is this: Why does the FDD have no challenge in reading any disk I put in there...

Okay, picked up another floppy drive, and I'm still seeing similar activity. I'm running out of floppy disks with which to experiment. The things just aren't as plentiful as they once were. Checked a bunch of older PC disks, and the Mac reads them fine - though I'm afraid to try writing...

Ran Disinfectant 3.7.1, and it found no viruses, but one alert ("There is not enough memory to check this file"). Am finding that I'm ruining perfectly good disks after inserting them - tried to run Disk Copy on three floppies, all of which detected problems during the process. Then inserted...

Okay, found Disinfectant here. Thanks for the heads-up.

Virus on OS 7? Wow, didn't know those existed. Where can I go to get Disinfectant?

My first computer was a Timex Sinclair 1500. It sported 16K of screaming ram, no power switch, rubber keys, a hookup for TV, and you had to purchase a tape cassette recorder for programs.

Thanks for the replies. Will look into the recommendations. Starting to wonder whether or not the drive is going bad, since a few disks now are reading bad after having initialized them on my Classic II.

Hello everyone! Conducted a search, but was unable to find anything on this. My machine information follows: Machine: Macintosh Classic II 10 MB RAM 80 MB HD OS 7.53, Revision 2 Well, a few time that I restarted my machine, it froze. I reset it a few times, and then it seemed to run a...

A while back, found an Asante Desktop EN/SC LAN box that connected to the SCSI port of my Classic II. Through that, I manually configured the TCP/IP settings, using my router to set up a fixed IP address. Running the Classic II on OS 7.53, Revision 2, and gaining web access through Netscape...

Thanks much for the advice - my Macintosh Classic II is now officially online and reading web pages. As it is over a LAN connected to a cable modem, it is very fast (limited of course by the processor speed and RAM of the computer itself). The endstate has been met! :beige:

I should add that the screen shot was not my Macintosh, but I pulled it from a website. The fields for mine are the same as in the screen shot, but the information entered in mine (which may well be wrong) is different.

That sounds promising. I'll search for such a client. If it answers the mail, I'll post about it. In answer to the network software question, the Asante disk came with EtherTalk Installer with SNMP MacAgent (v. 5.6.1). Going to Ethernet Built-In, you get three methods of obtaining an...

Thank you both - I have searched extensively for solutions and found all websites and forums you both posted - none answered the mail. :-/ They offer solutions for getting on line with a dial-up modem - something I neither own nor intend to own again. What I do have is an Asante Desktop...

Greetings! Background information follows: I used PCs almost exclusively until the advent of the horrible Vista - that turned me to Macs: Now have an relatively new iMac, MacBook Pro, and bought a Macintosh Classic II off of eBay, along with a SCSI Asante Desktop EN/SC adapter. Love messing...
