Ahhh. I hear you now. A hardware ethernet bridge would work great. Also, I suppose you could install LocalTalk bridge on a Mac with both ethernet and AppleTalk and then use AppleShare to share the printer, although I have never done this. Another thing I had to do to get it working, I had to...

It's been a while. How have you been? I almost looked you up to see if you had any parts for one of these. I lifted a pad on the communication board for one of the surface mount caps. I was able to solder the new cap's leg right to the trace itself. It is not very pretty, but it's functional. I...

I finished recapping the comms board in my LW Pro 630 and now it is working once again! I still need to replace the caps on the DC controller board but at least it is working now that the communication board is resurrected. As soon as my next shipment from DigiKey comes in, I'll get the two caps...

You're welcome. I've subscribed to this thread, so I will be following along.

Hi, I am the owner/author of the blog jeffhacksthings.wordpress.com, I've moved my blog to a full domain name. It is now at www.retroadventures.net. I've been cleaning things up as I move them, and I found this thread. Anyhow, I'd like to see if I can help you get this working if you are still...

I need to replace the capacitors on the two circuit boards in my Laserwriter Pro 630. Here is my current cart at DigiKey: http://www.digikey.com/short/jmmbcm As far as I know, these would be the same type, size and kind as the originals. Is this what is recommended or should I switch to...

I have a Netgear 10bt hub somewhere too... Right now, I have it connected to a Linksys WiFi bridge, not the most "compatible" device known to man, or Mac.

I updated it to 1.2.1 (IIRC) I didn't see a 1.3.1 available to download. I agree. I am going to find another card to try.

I cannot ping the loopback at 127.0.0.1 or anything else.  I even went as far as to load 7.5.5 and OT and still had nothing. I am beginning to think that the NIC that came installed in this CC was dead. I may have to get another one and try it out. 

Everything I am reading says I should be able to run Ethertalk in System 7.1 I have it installed and I can select the icon and it seems to allow the selection. I am wondering if there is a compatibility issue between my NIC and my WiFi bridge device...

I do have Ethernet selected for TCPIP. Also I have it selected for AppleTalk. When I try to use Chooser to browse, shouldn’t it load the stack at that time? i do not have MacPing. I will get it and try that. 

My Color Classic is repaired, and I have loaded 7.1 on it with Update 3. Now I want to install either MacTCP or OT and setup the ethernet. I have an Asante MCLC Twisted Pair card installed. When I plug in a cable, it lights up. I have tried unsuccessfully to get this working. First I installed...

I do have one. It came to me with an Asante MCLC TP card. I downloaded AsanteTalk 5.?? (can't remember in my head) but I had to go to work. Rescuing old Apple hardware doesn't pay the bills...

Yeah. I was able to go back to the 1.2GB Quantum Fireball that I first used in the external enclosure and it now works internally. Hopefully, I can still use the external SCSI port with this setup. I want to use the 4.3GB external drive and a Zip 100. I just use the hacked version of Apple HD SC...

I figured out a way to make these hard drives work - set the termination jumper to ON. I thought that internal drives in Macs didn't need this because the Mac would provide termination. I checked the drive that it shipped with (which I believe does have stiction) and it does not have any jumpers...

Ok. After I vented my frustration, I got out my magnifying glass and it looks like they just go half an inch or so and connect to some circular pads. I’m going to try to round up some small solid core wire tonight and solder back to these pads.  Even so, without the C4 cap, it seems to work...

I recapped my Color Classic and both pads under C4 were in bad shape. They were sort of holding on by a thread there at first, but as soon as I tried to stick a new tantalum cap down there they both just lifted right off of the board. Does anyone know where they connect to, so I can try to...

This morning, the drive that worked for two hours yesterday is starting to act up again. It will boot, but I cannot write to it. I can read everything. I can open files. I cannot delete, or write to the disk or initialize it either. Caps are in the mail. We'll see what happens...

Would this RAM work in the Color Classic? https://www.oempcworld.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=AIDAVX&Store_Code=oem&gclid=CjwKCAjwq_vWBRACEiwAEReprHMgYWtuYxfJK5rIt4d8Rtoc6g1BU_D-rP7jEFErgnreZbZtfr0ppxoC4UQQAvD_BwE

You were right. I took the Quantum ProDrive 80S out, and installed the Quantum Fireball 1280S that I had in the external enclosure and it booted! I'll have to see if the machine continues to boot from it reliably, but so far, you were right about the stiction. Thanks,
