That makes sense, except I tried this drive like 20 times internally and it would not even spin up. Then I tried this drive in the enclosure and it works every time. Like 5 times in a row so far. Do I just not have the jumpers set correctly? Termination?

While waiting for my new caps to come in, I decided to try an external scsi drive - it works! It initialized and I successfully installed 7.1 on it! I am now installing update 3.0 and then we’ll see what happens.  I’m still gonna recap it. The internal drive spins up then down, up then down...

Just ordered my caps. We'll see how the SCSI bus works with fresh caps.

No. If I boot from a floppy, I cannot see or init the drive. And yes, if I boot from floppy, my screen is clear and crisp and stable.

My hard drive connection is somehow intermittent. I do not yet know if it is capacitor related or power related or ? I have a known-good 4GB drive that I pulled from a working eternal drive enclosure and it will not spin up and be detected by the CC. Now I replaced that drive with the original...

Do you mean that you could install a 128MB stick of RAM in the Color Classic logic board and it worked? You didn't upgrade the board to the LC 575 first and then install the 128MB RAM? Also, what MathCo do I need? Is there a PN?

I have recently acquired 4 free computers - Color Classic, SE, G4 iMac, and an Apple IIe. So far, the iMac, Apple IIe and the Color Classic are working. I had to deep (read DEEEEEEP) clean the CC logic board of leaked cap goo before it would power up, but it is working now. Cap replacement...

Ok. So after I realized that if I do not use the AppleShare 3 software (as described here: http://www.synack.net/~bbraun/iigsboot.html) then I do not get the necessary AppleTalk parameters for remote booting an Apple IIgs over the LocalTalk network, which was not part of my initial project, but...

Thanks for all of the advise. I had to take care of some other AppleTalk business before I could even begin to worry about sharing my printer. I had tried to install AppleShare 3.0 onto my two 68k Macs, one on 7.1.1 and the other on 7.5.5 - this move proved widely unpopular, as it broke...

I have a ROM01 IIgs, a Powerbook 540c, a Mac SE and a newly acquired ImageWriter II printer. (My IWII does not have the optional LocalTalk interface installed) Right now, I have the 540c and the SE connected together using phone net adapters and LocalTalk. The 540c only has the one...

According to this: http://www.pmbl.co.uk/blog/how-to-store-nimh-battery-packs, storing NiMH batteries either fully charged or fully discharged will last indefinitely, taking two to three charge-discharge cycles to restore them to full capacity. Congrats on the new battery. I think you made a...

I powered the machine on again last night, and (since I have no working input devices) I just let it idle. I was working on setting up my new phone and I forgot all about it for over an hour. It ran fine, did not heat up and did not show any glitches in the screen or video at all. Perhaps the...

I agree. His mom was the one with the account on OfferUp. When he got out of the car, I was shocked, then she got out and explained that she had listed it on his behalf, to protect him from online predator type situations. I thought that she did a good job. I didn't even know it was a kid until...

I plan on opening up the case tonight and inspecting all of the caps. Aside from that, I can take the screws out of the case and then letting it heat up again and then checking it with a Flir thermal scope to find the hot spots. I don't have the Flir scope with me, so I will have to do that job...

This week I am working away from home and I found an ad on OfferUp with someone selling a Mac 512K for $10 - As-is/Parts Only. When I picked it up, I saw it was a 512Ke model and had a nice little SCSI port on the back over top of the battery cover! SCSI upgrade inside maybe? Turns out a 10 year...

TL;DR: it’s a fair price, if you want more than one //e. Seems to be worth the asking price, if you want both the //e computers and a TI-99. The manuals are a real treat. I would like to have them, but cannot bring myself to pay extra to buy them, so getting them included in the deal would be...

Depends on how much they are asking and if the //e computers work or not.

So I got the new active terminator and still had the same issue - put a disc in the drive and crashed with a bomb error.  I pulled the raw drive from the encloser and found out it was an NEC CDR-220. I downloaded and installed the driver for that drive, uninstalled the CD-Sunrise driver...

This is really nice. Great job! The soldering looks really good. I always liked the Color Classic line. Compact, with color... What’s not to like? Give yourself a break and enjoy the machine for a week or two, The CRT adjustment will wait until you are ready.

So I checked the termination only to find that there was no terminator installed. I thought that there was but when I looked closer, I t was a gender changer. I have ordered an active terminator and will report back when it comes in. What other extensions will I need to read iso9660?
