Did you receive the motherboard OK? Did it do you any good?

Don't worry about that file. It's expendable. It contains your AppleShare username, volumes to automatically mount, and some other settings. If it doesn't exist, AppleShare and Chooser will recreate it.

Mine did the same thing, with the LED dimly flashing. I left the thing on for maybe 2 or 3 hours and then it finally worked. The Tecmar MacDrive was a junky product with junky technical support. Mine is now broken in different ways, and I'm not eager to bend over backward to get it running...

About 6 months ago I installed an Adaptec 2906 SCSI PCI card in my blue & white Power Mac G3 that will communicate with old-style Mac SCSI devices such as what is in your Performa. Your Performa 6116  has what is now called Parallel SCSI. It will also be called Fast SCSI, SCSI-1, or SCSI-2...

I should have these parts in the mail to you tomorrow.

I have a motherboard and some other spare parts from a 575 that you can have for only cost of postage. Please email me your address. My email is below...

Next question: Does the Classic II have Color QuickDraw in ROM?

For compact Macs, only the SE/30 (and maybe the Classic II???) can run QuickTime, since it requires Color QuickDraw. QuickTime as you probably know is a System Extension. During Macintosh startup, when the icons are showing across the bottom of the screen, press and hold Command-Option-Q-T. You...

Note that whoever wrote the caption doesn't even know what date the photo was taken. Circa 1986. Chances are, the person who wrote the caption also got the computer model wrong, and it's a Mac 128K or 512K.

Yes, it was a calibration tool. They needed to set alignment, focus, screen size (to get precise WYSIWYG), and brightness. All these were calibrated at that factory.

27/sec was a production goal, and from what I've read, was not regularly achieved.  The other important metric is that it took about 26 minutes to assemble a Macintosh. Probably most of us here could reassemble our Macintosh in less time than that, but recall that the factory workers didn't...

Do the QuickTime slideshow where you press Command-Option-Q-T. I recognize some faces from the slideshow, and the QuickTime slideshow has names too.

Black with zero activity. You can freely interchange SE and SE/30 motherboards.

Great work!

FEdit Plus, for when you know what you're doing. And then there's Alsoft DiskExpress for when you don't. ;-) Btw, FEdit will let you look at the contents of your Lisa disks, block by block.

LisaEm comes with a CLI utility that will extract files from Lisa disk images. For Mac, there's an application called ReadLisa which will allow you to look at TEXT files on Lisa Workshop disks.

Probably a problem with your disk. Next time, ask here on this 68kmla site if someone can send you a disk. That's what we're here for. :-) If you send me an email (my address is below) I will send you a couple boot disks for your Plus.

This way: How to Open a Compact Mac Case Basically, the only tool you use is the screwdriver. The Mac is face down. Loosen, but don't remove all 4 screws. Then with the screwdriver on a screw head in the top handle, push down on the shaft with one hand, while using your other hand to pull up on...

If you have a Mac 128K motherboard, or a 512K motherboard with socketed RAM in that stack, I'd be interested.

Probably missing boot blocks. There is no concept of a blessed System folder on 400K MFS disk because MFS doesn’t have real folders like HFS. Finder is supposed to copy boot blocks when you copy System file from one disk to another.  Suggest you use FEdit to examine and write, if indeed...
