I can not help with your sound issue. But, as an aside, you can upgrade to 8.1 with out issue.  I believe it has been said that 8.1 is more stable than 8.0. Wish I could help with the sound, but I just do not know enough. I hope someone can jump in here...  I am guessing that if you boot to a...

Ah!  Yes, I do know what you are talking about.  The coil of wire for a big CRT TV is massive compared to what is in the CC.  I know the wire and molex connector you are talking about now.  I will open up this bad boy and see what I can find. Thanks so much techknight! mraroid

Can you post a photo of where the soldering joints are that could go bad?  Are they on the yoke (the thing that plugs into the back of the CRT)?  Or they on the board them selves?  Is a drawing or a schematic on line any place that I could look at? I would like to fix mine if I can.  Now I do...

Hi techknight....   Are you saying that the color classic has a built in degaussing coil?  If so, then mine is broken I guess.   The CC must not need to be degaussed very often as this is the first time I have ever had to do it.  I did it on some older CRT TVs when I was younger.  But after a...

Folks...   I converted my Color Classic to 640 X 480, and installed a board who's CPU I replaced with a full 68040,  I have a SCSI2CF for a hard drive, and I can boot to 7.6.2 or to 8.1 It boots kind of slow because I have a 128 MB SIM in it, but I am OK with that. I have a network card...

Thank you Torbar for that good information.  I have thought about adding a SE/30 in the future to my small Apple collection.  I had no idea that they supported a 1.44 MB drive.  Are the 1.44 floppy drives in the SE/30 Auto-Inject floppy drives? mraroid

I thought the floppy drive in a color classic was a 1.44 drive.  Did the SE/30 have 1.44 floppy drives in them?  I never did own a SE/30.  I thought they had 400 and 800k floppy drives in them....?? mraroid

Thank you so much for the link.  I will check it out. mraroid

Thank you techknight.  I have a CC, but the floppy drive is not working.  I wanted to look on You Tube for videos on how to rebuild it.  I see that people have 3D printed gears, but did not know if my CC floppy drive had gears in it or not.  I thought I would start with just taking it apart...

Are they plug and play in a CC LaPorta? I am running 7.6.2 and can also boot to 8.1. Do they need to be rebuilt?  If the gears are OK (Do they even have gears?) has the drive been taken apart, all the hair and gunk cleaned out and then given a bit of lube? I am interested.  Do you have any Sony...

What kind of Mac are you using?  I put a 128 MB ( no typo- 128 MB)   memory stick in my color classic.  The only down side, is that it takes a loooooooong time to boot. Mraroid

When I was trying to get my CC on line, I plugged my CC network card into my router.  I got a solid green light. This was before I configured anything other then tell TCP/IP that I was using ethernet.   This means that the network card in my CC and my modern router could see each other.  I am...

The price is right.  He is suppose to have a solid lamp, but it is blinking. mraroid

It took me pulling all the hair out of my head before I could get my CC up and running on the network.  You might go to the search bar on this forum only,  and search for words like Network, or internet, etc.  The search function fails if you put two words in the search bar.  At least, that is...

Loved your web page and information.  Good stuff! I saw this on your web page: "DHCP assign range 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.255 (will not automatically assign IPs below 100) I wonder if Will needs to change his DHCP to a higher number?? mraroid

 Sounds good. Did you down load and install both Netscape and IE for your OS?  The site that I directed you to is made so that long outdated web browsers from our old Macs, can access the site.  I have a running list on this forum someplace of all the web sites you can still access.  I think 15...

Did the software  for your network card  install just fne?  You are sure the software you are using can run under your OS and CPU?

Are the lights on your network card correct? mraroid

Try classic first. Your browser will not take you to google. You can not access google from your machine.  You need to manually type this into your web browser: http//obsolete.macfixer.com/vintage-software/ Or http://obsolete.maxfixer.com You need to look in the manual for your network card...

I do not know the Asante MacCon LC card at all.  I suspect it has a small light on the back of the card.  It might turn green when it is happy and red when it is not. Or it may have a lamp that is usually off if the card is happy, and on if it is not happy.  The lamp will show you that the card...
