Have a Classic I recently acquired.  It will chime 1 out of every handful of times you attempt to power it on, otherwise it just acted like it had no power.  When it did boot the video would cut out intermittently but ultimately I would get a solid picture and it would blink the ? disk.   Opened...

InstQuick update on the progress: Installed the PCI ATA card in the 7500 and attached a working 4GB drive from a beige G3 desktop but it did not boot.  Booted using a 9.1 CD, ran drive setup but the drive did not show up there either.  Put the ATA card in the G3, same issue, no boot, does not...

Wow just realized that the link I posted is YOUR blog.  Came up in a search randomly and just now saw it in your sig.  Awesome resource!  I'll be sure to follow the SCSI project if you are posting on your blog or have a thread going here.

The writing on the back appears the be the last name and phone number of a prior owner engraved with one of those handheld electric engravers.  Otherwise, it does appear to be clean and in good external condition. Thanks for the history, I did find the dobb article and usenet discussion, cool...

Picked up a 512k recently and saw this port on the back.  This is an add on SCSI port replacing the battery slot, right?  Curious if anyone can identify this hardware and who manufactured it.  Assuming it includes an associated controller card.  Port is metal, looks well made, and the hole is...

I had the same question!  After searching the forum and reading various threads, the consensus seems to be that you need a card that is a Mac version so that you can boot from it.  There were a handful of different manufacturers for these but they should all specify Macintosh compatibility. ...

Nice CL find.  I see lots more desk space that can occupied by vintage Macs!  Good spot under that Samsung right there :)

Fantastic job, what an improvement!

Great suggestion, didn't know that was an option.  I'll have to do a little digging and find one in that price range.  Might just try one of my old PC cards and see if it works.

First off, thanks for all the suggestions and good information. Second, it's working! I tried the 601 card in the 8500, worked just fine.  Put it back in the 7500 and it chimed and booted to floppy icon due to a bad hard drive (click of death).  Looks like I just had to re-seat the processor...

Hello all, I have a decent looking Power Mac 7500/100 that I picked up recently.  I did a little cleaning on the exterior, blew out the dust bunnies and powered it on only to find that it won't boot.  The power supply clicks on, power LED on the front works, keyboard LEDs blink, HDD spins up, CD...
