A Silent Color Classic?

My CC has a very noisy fan and hard drive. I want to make it as quiet as possible. I have tired a few SSD solutions (SCSI to CF) but they either don't work at all, will only work as a non-boot drive…Continue

What ethernet cards?
I have an LC575 and a Color Classic. Currently they both have PDS slot ethernet cards. I plan to put IIe Cards in both of them which obviously takes up the PDS slot. Can I use comm slot ethernet…Continue

My CC has a very noisy fan and hard drive. I want to make it as quiet as possible. I have tired a few SSD solutions (SCSI to CF) but they either don't work at all, will only work as a non-boot drive or won't physically fit. Does anyone have a purchasable solution? That is, a solution that I can buy today, I have had a few solutions suggested that use hardware you can't buy anymore?As for the fan, is there a fan out there that will fit and is quiet?Will both of these be worthwhile? For example,…See More

Jason McCormack replied to ctb's discussion Newest portable to supports 800k disks?"I would think anything with an Apple branded internal drive would support 800k disks. External USB drives don't. I would expect the Wallstreet with an internal floppy module to support 800k floppies. A Lombard not so much. The Wallstreet was…"
Patrick Spera replied to ctb's discussion Newest portable to supports 800k disks?"Hummm,
Well, I know my Mac Portables will boot off of 800K disk with 6.0.8 on them. I tried to boot a model 190cs with the 800K, but it kicked it out and continued with the HD boot. It did read and write to it. So, my guess…"

Let me introduce myself, I have been using an Apple II since 1983 and a Mac user since 1991 with the purchase of an LC with 2e Card (I wonder how many people made that transition), I never saw the need to venture to the MS darkside. I have been stockpiling a few Apple II bits for a while but as part of a pile of Apple II stuff I rescued from an e-waste disposal centre was a fair few early Mac bits so I am going to try and get some of them going for nostalgia. The grander plan is to get my Apple…See More
