Yeah...I just spent about 4 hours in the 'Utilities' section grabbing a bunch of stuff I'd hate to disappear if the site ever went down completely. I remember I cried my eyes out when Home of the Underdogs (or whatever it was called) ceased to exist. Then it reemerged and I've clearly got...

For sure. I should add that the board got a good clean in isopropyl alcohol as well to ensure any cap goo wasn't interfering in places.

I have a Classic that exhibited almost the exact same sound issue. That was sorted after a full recap of the logic board and analogue board. Hopefully the same works for you!

1) Quest for Glory 1 2) Lucas Arts adventures (Indiana Jones FoA) 3) Escape Velocity 1 (maybe 4) Prince of Persia 1 & 2 5) Warlords ...to name a few

Yeah. It's definitely a great game. I played the shareware version loads back in the day. It was the first ten levels of the game and it got progressively faster the more you played. Believe it or not, you can still buy the game from the developer! I paid for a licence just like two years ago. I...

I've personally never had much luck establishing an AppleTalk network without the little bits that go in between each computer. To my knowledge a cable between both is simply not enough. In any case, you do have a couple options to get files transferred over (probably a combination of both)...

I am JUST in the process of retrobriting one of my SE/30s at the moment (and have done one in the past). Basically, yes...just snap the speaker out of there. On my first model, I used a very tiny amount of super glue (Gorilla Glue) when reinstalling the speaker - just enough to keep it from...

BMOW is right - on all counts. In any case, the PB 150 is a personal favourite of mine for no good reasons at all. I remember borrowing one back in the day. I bet that person has since thrown it into a bin. :( That one is in fantastic shape! Welcome back to the vertigo of Mac collecting...

Wow. Nice find!! 8€? That's like £4000, right? :p *sigh*

In my humble opinion, I'd vote Floppy Emu first and then either the SCSI2SD or the cheaper solution: a 68-pin SCA SCSI server drive with one of max1zzz's adapters. The Floppy Emu (I own 2) is perhaps the one device single-handedly preserving these old Macs as fully functioning machines - so much...

Ah, I see what you did there!! :p

If I remember correctly, bbraun was working on one of these converters a couple years ago. Not sure where he got with it...

This forum is where I first explored and later succeeded in soldering capacitors (etc) on a motherboard. All the info is here (and YouTube) if you ever want to learn. :)

I've had a lot of luck with one of these (see link). In 'client' mode, it acts as a WiFi card, essentially. After setting it up on a modern computer, plug the Ethernet cable into the CC. Plug the USB cable into the wall (with adapter bought separately or from phone, etc). Done. You've got WiFi...

Well, the Colour Classic motherboard is quite a finicky piece of kit, especially once the caps have gone. I had a very similar experience to you when I received a CC. Without the mobo, it booted. With, it wouldn't. I had recapped the mobo and same result. The solution, in the end, was rather...

I hear you! Next week is going to be hellish for me. Not looking forward to it! In any case, I'm glad you have a few options on the table regarding a decent networking solution.

I've just had this issue with my iBook G3 600MHz. Guessing it must be a hard drive issue as well. The exact same symptoms. The annoying thing is that it's one of those IDE to SD jobs. So, that obviously didn't last long! Really annoyed that I have to take the whole iBook apart again...

Hey Joe. Maybe I'm not 100% clear on what you meant. Are you saying you wish you had a file server where you can access all the 68k Mac files via Ethernet? If that's not what you meant, sorry. But that's something I've been doing far more these days. The FloppyEmu is essential in getting a...

Brilliant find there! As far as your question goes, my inclination would be to fix it, given that I've got the 'things must operate bug'. But then...it's a 128k board. It's not necessarily going to be used much anyway. Sooo...maybe just leave it as it is - pure!

It's not a custom-built shelf, just really good Tetris work. =P
