Current status: -Recapped logic board -Does not boot anymore (black screen, no chime, no screen power, I didn't wait a full 24h period plugged in though) -Recapping analog board (specific caps at first as per https://recapamac.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/mac_cc_analog_recap.jpg) in...

could you place the speaker farther to reduce the interference? or is it something that happens as a noise in the voltage picked up by it?

I came across this demo I had forgotten in some nondescript collection of graphics applications folders I had laying around. Some people in the Boston Computer Society took it upon themselves to recreate (in 1986) the 'boing!' demo from the Amiga which features a fake 3d bouncing ball animation...

My Plus also has that sound.

So........ buyee refunded both the machine ($135 CAD) and the shipping ($223) - the part that was paid by paypal appeared immediately, still waiting on the normal delay for the part that was done with my bank account. Wow. Ok.

Still waiting on a 1-2 week long decision for a refund claim, but I thought I'd check out if my pieces fit the cracks. I'm missing an important one. I'm considering acetone (I'll just use a nail polish remover) to try to bond those pieces together. I'd love a rundown on if it's a good/bad idea...

I'm already using a pi3a for a mt-32 pi, and a pi3b repurposed from a retropie machine connected to my tv to a usb4vc device that can take modern controllers and ship it to a vintage PC's ps2 ports, gameport and serial mouse port. This device will also have another extension board for earliest...

I got the standard plan (which includes insured shipping) and paid for the repackaging. Who knows if I'll get anything for it or if I'll fall in a crack. I don't have any ethernet capabilities for any of my old school macs. My collection leans on an earlier era than most people in these forums...

Current status: -pictures of the received box + clear shots of the damage that can be x-referenced to the original auction's shots, sent and claim filed to buyee -caps ordered for logic and analog boards -stored away and not powered again until this is done

Someone told me on twitter that it's probably a LC550 board with enough vram to enable thousands of colors (which I did try out successfully)..

It's a color classic II after all, with a logic board swap in its past! It was hinted at without strong confirmation in the yahoo Auctions description, but the translation was a mess. Here it is (highlights of the parts I find the most funny by me):

BlueSCSI steps: Using the 40 MB 7.5.3 hda that can be gotten from Mac Garden, I brought these things from the Apple Recovery CD (copied via an emulator) to another bigger hda used for shuttling stuff: -system 7.1 install imgs -color classic system 7.1 install imgs -system update 3.0 (meant for...

UPDATE: Update on Mac Color Classic: Win a Yahoo Auctions through buyee Have it shipped intact to the buyee warehouse Have it shipped intact to Canada Dodge a battery explosion Recap at least the logic board Become a traitor to 1-Bit gfx by owning a color mac The package shipped on May...

I'm talking about the limits of the rgb2hdmi. Many people have wanted this to work for vga resolutions for classic ms-dos gaming but the threads I've read, some implicating the participation of the lead of the project, continually repeat that VGA can't be dealt with and were talking about...

Do you think a rgb2hdmi will have a color limit out of the options the cc normally offers in system 7?

I made a YT shorts about it:

But..... has anyone discussed the ethics of wielding so much RAW SPEED??!?!1

I've read that thread already @This Does Not Compute and seen your video , neat stuff and so satisfyingly lucky. So the way it now has gone: -Buyee received the package locally -I ordered a repackaging -I waited 4 days; they just noticed me an hour ago that it was done -The option of...

I don't doubt that at all! However, the local person who sent it to buyee's warehouse might not have done a good job and it could already be destroyed in some unfortunate way. Regardless of how the machine is now a finely grounded powder or a pristine machine, I'll never know until it arrives...
