One thing that worked for me, in getting a stiction-ed drive to work again
(it was Quantum Empire 1080MB... had been left unused for 6 months), was to
put it in an external case, leave it on a radiator for a bit so that it was
well warmed up (makes the grease in the bearings less viscous?), then
I might work up some Dutch courage to do the VGA mod one day... Mr Takky's
site seems to explain it well but still seems worryingly difficult when
you've never wielded a soldering iron before. Havent got the URL offhand,
but google shld find it...(Apple RGB monitor VGA Takky)
In the meantime, a
I think this might be a (common?) fault in the LC. At least, the 2nd -hand
one that I bought exhibited this problem. Very faint internal sound. I tried
cleaning the contacts for the internal speaker no luck. But resting a
huge heavy monitor on the case for a month or two somehow restored the

I have had good success in finding old Mac stuff on eBay UK... a year ago,
when I last monitored it intensively, it seemed that LC ethernet cards were
coming along fairly regularly (once a week?), and generally sold for about
£10...

My parents' Mac has stopped being able to access the Internet. It's done
this before several times and I could always solve it by getting them to
re-type their user name and password into the PPP control panel -- seemed
like the data had been corrupted or something. The Mac is a IIci running OS
A few years ago I bought a Sonnet Allegro card to upgrade my LC to a
33MHz 030 processor. It came with a system extension called 'Allegro'
which presumably smooths its operation... however, I can't get things
like RAM Doubler or Open Transport to install properly, as they
insist that there is
I never managed to install Open Transport on my LC (via the copy in System
7.5.3 Installer or via an OT Installer (1.1.1 and 1.1.2) on its own). Maybe
an earlier version than OT1.1 will work on LC's, but I had no luck with
version 1.1.1 or 1.1.2.
Actually, to clarify, it was worse than that, in
I dared to try powering the HD off the floppy port of the Plus, using that
odd cable that fitted both ends, and it worked great! Thanks to everyone for
