As per the title, I was just wondering if anyone - hopefully UK based! - Has a spare rear case for a 512k? I've looked for quite a while on the usual places but they haven't really came up at all.  Hope someone can help!  

Yep! A very similar solution, but I'm using a 2gb SCSI2SD for storage, so I just have to worry about the 4mb ram limit! I've also found for some reason soundedit 1.1 doesn't like to run on system 6.0.8 as it keeps running into errors, but system 6.0.3 works fine!  And obviously system 7 just...

Holy moly it worked! Turned the sampling down to 11khz, converted it to mono, booted my macintosh classic off the system 6 ROM disk and with SoundEdit 1.1 I got music! Incredibly tinny and crunchy music, but music nevertheless! Should work on my plus as well! 

I'll try that! I imagine you mean running SoundEdit 1.1 on the 68000, and SoundEdit 16 to downsample the AIFF files on a more powerful Macintosh (like my powerbook G3)?

I suppose a lot of people have asked this, but I've never found something that works properly.  Does anyone know of a method of playing common -ish sound files (midi, mod or perhaps even wav files, but not something like converting them to system 7 sounds) on a 68000 compact mac? The closest...

Hang on I think I just found suitable replacements Does this look right? https://www.mouser.co.uk/ProductDetail/Bourns/4608X-104-221-331LF?qs=zRaq9JBfD9%2B12SkSx27ilw%3D%3D

Just checked, pin ones goes to ground on all three of the packs, and pin 8 goes to termpower

Yep it needs three resistor packs. so they are literally just SIL resistor packs? 

I've recently acquired a pair of 1gb scsi drives which work absolutely fine... so long as the system has an external scsi terminator installed. As it turns out they are both missing the resistor termination packs, which I only now realise are a bit more complex than a SIL resistor pack. Does...

Oops, C22! I need to find out what C22 is, not C20! 

Oh just to clarify I mean C5 and C20 on the logic board. I'm baffled why someone would of removed them!

Bit of an odd one this. I was sent a 512k which was a little bit... erratic. Sometimes it will bong and flash the floppy icon, other times it will just get stuck on a corrupted screen. Thinking it was a RAM issue I took the logic board and found out that for some reason someone had removed C5...

Ahhh right, currently it also has 7.6.1 on the hard drive

Well 7.5 is fully supported by the Classic II, whilst 8 isn't officially supported on any Black and White compact. Heh a Mac Plus with 4mb of ram can technically run 7.5 ;) , 8 is an entirely different beast! Also I'm using a completely minimal install of 8, so honestly I'm not sure what else...

I'm actually amazed this worked, but I managed to get Mac OS 8 running on my Classic II! (Ok strictly speaking it is a Performa 200, but come on they are literally identical).  How did I manage this?  Well I realised that the Classic II actually has a 32 bit clean rom, so really it should be...

As per the title, I just picked up a faulty external 400k floppy drive that was being detected but ultimately wasn't reading or writing disks.  After I opened the drive I noticed the fault - the small felt pressure pad was missing, meaning the disk isn't making good contact with the head.  I...

It didn't have those resistor packs, but it was placed before the original boot drive (which does terminate itself)

Original drive - white screen,  doesnt attempt to boot It will not boot from anything unless the internal hard drive is disconnected. So it will boot from the CD drive when the internal drive has been taken out. It will not boot from the CD (or anything else) with the internal drive present 

I swear I end up with the strangest issues. Recently I tried to swap the 500mb hard drive with a larger 30gb 80 pin drive with an adapter. I *think* I may of had them set to the same scsi address, but I'm not sure.  Bottom line is that the 6100 will chime, display a white screen and cursor...

Sorry! Yes I am talking about the icebook  As far as I can tell I don’t think it has been opened before. I might take the hard drive out and replace it with a known working one as well as giving the cable a bit more of an inspection
