External Hard Drive on Classic 2

I have had much difficulty in getting my Classic 2 to recognize an external hard drive that has a 2 gig hard drive. Today I got it to work by partitioning it and now if is mounted, but only as a 100 MB drive. Any ideas how to get it working as configured? Bailey -- Compact Macs is sponsored b

Re: Mac Plus - OS 6.0.8 or 7.5.5? Word Processor - Nisus Writer or so mething else?

I am using OS 7.1 in a Classic with 10MB RAM and an 80MB hard drive. I have loaded ClarisWorks 3.0 and it works quite well. Write Now 4.0 is a bit faster and does not use as much of the hard drive as does ClarisWorks. But I am more familiar with CW so I use it. It has been recommended to use OS

Mac Classic

I get most of my Classic's from Thrift stores. No guarantee on them working. The last two I purchased were $7 each; one worked, one did not. I now have five and only one is working, but I have hopes for at least 3 of the 4 that are not working. Bailey -- Compact Macs is sponsored by

More Questions on the Classic II

This computer uses two 1 meg, 30 pin SIMM, RAM sticks, and coupled with the 2 megs on the MB, we have its 4 meg configuration. To reach the maximum of 10 megs, there are required two sticks of 4 megs each, which, again, coupled with the 2 on the MB would give you the maximum. Am I right on this

I have a Mystic made using a 580 instead of a 575. I am finding it impossible to connect an external hard drive to it. It will do a zip drive, but once a external hard drive is connected, it will not open. Well, it won't open fully. It will bong and start to open, but will not finish. I've tried

Mac Plus

I acquired a Mac Plus today and find that whereas I have the keyboard I do not have the cable to connect. Neither do I have a mouse. Apparently these are not the same as other Macs use. They appear to be quite different with totally different connectors. Am I correct in my assumptions. Bailey
