Macintosh Classic II
Posted by: bibilit on 2016-05-23 05:25:35 Collected today a Classic II, was cheap, no mouse nor keyboard and a no-worker. Leaking caps on the logic board, not a big deal, the rest is in very good condition, no yellowing. removed the II board and put a Classic instead for a test and got a boot. Also included a MacGlare GuardPlus screen cover...

Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-05-23 05:53:15 Nice! Not even yellowed ! Congrats! Is the LB one of the enhanced ones?
Posted by: bibilit on 2016-05-23 06:10:41 Yes LB enhanced...two more caps to replace
Posted by: bibilit on 2016-05-29 06:12:11 Far better with new caps, and the hard drive is working ok: The Apple on the Top left is surrounded by a square border, any idea ?
Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-05-29 06:51:10 Good to know everything works fine now! I have a floppy disk for my Plus that has that square around the apple logo as well. It was a 6.0.3 disk. I don't know why it's there.
Posted by: Paralel on 2016-05-29 14:59:03 It can't be the system version. 6.0.3 wouldn't run on a Classic II. The only version of System 6 that will run on a Classic II is 6.0.8L, and the one I have run on my Classic II does not have a border. I don't know what it means either.
Posted by: Macdrone on 2016-05-29 15:25:01 he said 6.0.3 on the plus, not on the classic II.
Posted by: tanaquil on 2016-05-29 17:40:28 People with mystery apple boxes: have you checked to see if any unusual control panels/DAs are installed? (I have no idea what it means either, just guessing.)
Posted by: Paralel on 2016-05-29 19:07:12 he said 6.0.3 on the plus, not on the classic II. Yes, I know, I mentioned 6.0.3 not working on a Classic II to make the point that it isn't apparently specific to a particular 6.x.x version.
Posted by: BadGoldEagle on 2016-05-30 01:26:28 I remember my disk had disinfectant on it. But it's either an Apple oddity or a ResEdit mod iMO
Posted by: joethezombie on 2016-06-01 09:07:01 Such a beautiful machine. I got one too, but it was Maxelled beyond repair. 🙁 . The corner of the analog board was cracked off, too. How does that even happen? I am very curious about the squared Apple menu. Did you ever find anything out about it?
Posted by: Garrett on 2016-06-01 18:47:46 Why does the bezel going into the CRT look strange? Is that the MacGlare Guard Plus?
Posted by: bibilit on 2016-06-01 22:45:37 Is that the MacGlare Guard Plus Yes, not found much information about it online.
Posted by: slomacuser on 2016-06-02 10:42:48 The Apple on the Top left is surrounded by a square border, any idea ? Could be SuperApple or ResEdit hack?
