I just got my first PowerPC ever, a cute little PB53000cs. All my life I've been a Windows user, and the past few months I've been collecting 68k compacts so I'm pretty excited to see what 100mhz RISC can do. I'm thinking of trying to get a wireless card! Perhaps I could upgrade OS from 7.6 to...

Okay! My Color Classic is finally running for a long period of time, and was able to turn on after I shut it down and installed a PDS ethernet card. My question now: How can I get this thing on the internet, or at least can I check my pop3 mail? I have it plugged into a 10/100 ethernet router...

I'd say wait on Craiglist until you find any old Mac (usually can be had for under $10) and then load the files onto it, Open in MS word 4, and save them as text only. Then get an external floppy disk for your new iMac, and the files should look like regular text files. Perhaps there is a more...

Sorry, I guess I forgot to mention I've tried two sets of ADB kebyoards and mice (even different models) that are compatible with ALL of my other compacts, and no difference. I'm getting a new motherboard from tmtomh, which is very exciting. Worst case scenario I spend a little money to know...

Mayday Mayday, it does nothing again. I have posted a new threat because this one has gotten so lengthy.

Hi Folks, About two weeks ago I made this thread: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=10005 asking for help with my Color Classic, which finally, for two days, worked perfectly. Over the past few days while the website has been down the Color Classic has not been able to startup once, no matter how long I...

Yesterday, I left the CC mains on and left the house for the night. I just returned, and expecting nothing I clicked the power key on the ADB keyboard. The Color Classic was turned away from me, but I heard the sound and the entire machine booted up normally! It is now in perfect working...

Great, but I still only have a program that is designed to make 1.44 copies...

Try using a different disk. I made a system 6 bootdisk using my vista computer that my Macs could read when booted into their OS from the hard drive, and everything looked good, but they could not boot from the disk. I made copies on other floppys, and they work. Also, last semester I had a...

Fantastic. I have followed your procedure with the little red button, and am leaving the CC with the main power on for the next 24 hours. What is the "soak the mains" method? I am also awaiting instructions on where to test voltage with my multimeter from the PSU so I can figure out if its the...

I made another boot disk and it seems to work. Now the task is making a 800k boot disk for the SE. I have a vista computer with a floppy drive attached and a working Classic and working SE/30. And plenty of spare 1.4mb disks I can tape over the part. Anyone know how I can make myself 800k...

Also, I found Apple's Service Repair manual relativley easy on google, but it is of no help. According to the troubleshooting guide, I should replace my logic board because I have already put in a new battery and connected the keyboard. Perhaps there is a more in-depth manual somewhere else.

Phreakout, If you are truly willing to look at all of my pictures and help, I'd me more than happy to disassemble and take copious photos. I have been working with computers since age 4, but I know next to nothing about circuitry and electrical components; my experience usually ends at...

Tried a different disk, and got the boot image working on the SE/30. Wonderful little program.

No, no. The SE/30 can read 1.44mb disks.

I just got a free SE and SE/30, both of which ask for an OS at startup, but the bootdisk I made of 6.0.8 from the windows program at http://www.macgeek.org/downloads/index.html doesn't seem to work - just remembered the SE can't read the 1.44 disk. When I put the disk inside my working SE/30...

Yeah, it clearly states on the back that it's an 800k model. I plan to open it, but it seems like I'm never going to find a screwdriver long enough to fit into the handle and turn the screws! I suppose I'll search around the internet and try to find something.

Bad news: I removed the two RAM sticks, and the bigger stick, which it says is the VRAM SIMM. I pressed the red reset button. I also cleaned the contacts to the rest of the computer, and still nothing. Is the 68882 the optional co-processor? Very interesting. I'd swap it in a second for a...

So I picked up 3 compacts from the side of the street in Arlington, MA yesterday. Rather I could say my girlfriend grudgingly picked them up for me. I found: }:) A Mac Plus converted into a Mac 'o Lantern - would look very nice if the paint hadn't chipped, not sure what to do with it now...

I absolutely love the keyboard on my Lenovo Thinkpad T61 laptop. It's like butter. I remember the T40 keyboards were great, too. I can't type on other laptops now, especially MacBooks. Also, I thought that the Apple keyboard that shipped with the G5 iMacs (it is white) is dreadful. But the...
