    How best to showcase classic Macs to non-believers?

    Fantastic; I was actually going to make a second post about MIDI and sequencing on the Compacts because I am a keyboardist and always looking for another way to use my Classics. What about games that showcase well?

    How best to showcase classic Macs to non-believers?

    I'm bringing my Classic in to work tommorow (I work at a camp, but in a digital music classroom) and I'm wondering how I can best showcase the slickness of System 6 and my Mac Classic to the kids and staff. Right now I like to show people how fast it boots, QBert, Shufflepuck and a very...

    Rip Van Winkle SE

    Ah, well if you have access to any old beige Macintosh with a floppy, you could give it a try. I used my vista computer with external usb floppy to move the file to my Color Classic, where I expanded the file and used disk copy. Took me 5 disks (all taped) to make a bootable 800k disks -the...

    Rip Van Winkle SE

    Do you by any chance have a Mac running OSX 10.4 or earlier? By taping over the hole on a 1.44mb disk you should be able to make a fake 800kb disk and put Apple's image on there, then you can try installing that onto your SE's hard disk. As long as you can get disk copy 4.2 running (which I was...

    SE Dual-Floppy, Apple is trying to thwart our efforts!

    Gorgonops, I think you have unearthed the most useful information. (And excellent research!) Funny though, that he didn't talk about sensitive information - of course I would have rebutted that the Plus i had my eyes on wouldn't have had a HD inside (neither does the damn dual-floppy SE of...

    SE Dual-Floppy, Apple is trying to thwart our efforts!

    What would be a method to figure out whether it was the recycling company or apple who made the decision? As the guy obviously hadn't cataloged the donated computers yet (all of them out there had been dropped off in last half hour) he could have easily let me have them without Apple ever...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    Thanks, the CC is running very stably right now and always booting in 32-bit mode. While it would be very cool to have the display mirrored on VGA, I think I am going to simply take the 575 Presenter thing off and save my money for a full 68040 or something more useful. Now to start another...

    SE Dual-Floppy, Apple is trying to thwart our efforts!

    Dearest comrades in the quest to liberate 68k Macintosh computers, Today there was an electronics recycling drive in my town (Lexington, MA) and I brought a CRT and some old cell phones to properly dispose of. My town is predominantly wealthy, and highly prioritizes academia and technology...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    Yes, sorry, presenter. I guess I should take it out because it could only cause complications. Unfortunately, it did not come with the output cable, but on a Color Classic do you really want the video coming out of the main screen because , that is probably the reason you're using a Color...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    Update: I had to unplug my CC from wall outlet and turn of mains (though I usually leave it soft-off because of all the trouble I had getting it on in the first place) and when I did, it turned on fine again but the clock was wrong and 32-bit addressing was turned off, though it was last set to...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    Mac128, I'd be happy to test out how the channels are working later this week. If someone could be as kind to a) let me know what type of stereo file i'm making for a system 7.1 machine B) best program run it on the CC Okay, so the mysitc board has been installed a few days and performance...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    No, I didn't perform the hi-res mod, but perhaps the analog board isn't expecting a 33mhz 68040, 12mb of RAM, stereo sound and 1mb of VRAM either. I don't know much about this stuff, but clearly the specifications of the things it is supporting have changed. I am having trouble finding out...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    From the last mentioned website: "This board works hard while you're using your Color Classic. Performing the "Takky" modifications to your Color Classic only increase the stresses placed upon the board. Not only are the power requirements increased with the new motherboard, but the VGA-Mod or...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    Wonderful. Unfortunately I don't have a 575 board to get the other analog components for stereo speakers, but I don't know if 8bit 22khz sound is worth it for stereo anyways. Very interesting info though, seems like they were planning the Classic II/LC575 parts when they originally designed...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    So would the 575 board take any 72pin SIMM cards up to 128mb? I see many different manufacturers on eBay for 72pin. Two weird things are happening with the new board: 1) Startup time is varying a lot. When I first put the new board in and hit soft power it immediately started and made the...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    MY COLOR CLASSIC IS MYSTICAL! Thanks for the help. For the record, Sys Enabler 065 version 1.1 can be found here: http://pc.2ch.net/i4004/kako/1014/10144/1014458913.html Apple only provides the updated 1.2 version, but apparently you need this version for the CC hack. Now to return to trying...

    My Color Classic soon to be mystic?

    Thank you LCGuy, although from the filename it looks as if this could be version 1.2, although I specifically read I need version 1.1 Any thoughts?

    Can anyone e-mail me a copy of system enabler 065 version 1.1? All the download links appear to be broken at this point!
