A box of old 50 pin SCSI hard drives that I had in deep storage needs to be examined, or possibly disposed of. I counted 9 of them and do not know if they are functional or not. And, if they are functional, I am curious to know what was stored on them. These have been stored for twenty or...
Not sure what happened, but my LC 575 has been operating perfectly after having the motherboard recapped last summer. That all changed yesterday, when I decided to put an a different ethernet card on it to see if it was functional. Well, the ethernet card couldn’t be tested, so I pulled it...
Is this a capacitor issue? According to Norton Utilities test, the 68040 processor on my LC575 is operating at a speed of only 6 Mhz. Not 66, but only 6. Would this be indicative of a capacitor issue or possibly something else?
The time has come to give one of my old Macs, a Color Classic running OS 7.5.5, away to a another family member. How do I remove the ownership ID and password from what I have been using so the new owner can insert their own identification and password? I plan to leave the hard drive contents...
What utility program is recommended for analyzing overall system performance of my Color Classic running OS 7.5.5 with a 040 accelerator? Floppy disk versions only. I would like to compare it’s performance using it’s original unaltered logic board with performance when equipped with a Sonnet...
Is it possible to simultaneously connect two external hard drives to a Color Classic? I have two external drives with 50 pin Centronic ports. One is an Apple drive, while the other is not. I have attempted to do so using a double male 50 pin cable between the two drives, then using a 50 pin...
So, today I am erasing a bunch of old floppy disks using the Color Classic. Everything was working fine, having erased about 59 diskettes. Then, one diskette label loosened on the small portion that rolls over to the backside. When this happened, it jammed the floppy drive during ejection...
Recently, a fellow vintage Mac fan was kind enough to recap the logic board in my LC575 along with a couple of Color Classics. One thing he observed was the prolonged time for the display to turn on and boot up. It eventually turned on, but only after a long wait. After its return home, I...
After having this LC575 sitting on a shelf for the past fifteen years, I have to make up my mind on whether or not to let it go, or give it to my grandson. It is a working LC575, but when testing the floppy drive, which does work, I found it would not eject the diskette again. Using a paper...
