Colour Classic accessory haul
Posted by: rsolberg on 2014-09-08 10:39:54
I just realized this is my first post.  I've been following the forums for a couple years now.

My latest acquisitions are for my fairly stock Colour Classic.  When it began exhibiting audio issues a couple years ago, I pulled the speaker out to troubleshoot, and my puppy decided it would be a good chew toy.  I did conclude it was a capacitor issue, but didn't have much hope to find a matching speaker to replace the shredded cone.  Im contemplating sending the board to Uniserver for recapping- my only hangup is shipping stuff across the border economically.

This speaker was listed as a pull from a Performa 636 CD.  Looks identical.  Fingers crossed it'll fit when it gets here.

My next find was SimCity 2000.  I'm looking forward to this for sure.  Does anybody know if it'll run on the CC without a 640x480 mod?  I've found conflicting reports of its resolution requirements.

Finally, I scooped this Sun UniPack SCSI enclosure for a little more than shipping.  It's in great shape and I've got it powering on and spinning up discs.  It has an HP 9200 8,4,32 CD Writer in it which I'm hoping is supported in Toast 4.  A DB25 to HD68 cable is on its way.

SimCity 2000 works just fine in 512x384. Complains about using it in less than 256 colors but will run in 16 also.

I do like the Sun cases.  They had some innovative designs.  I liked them.

I really like the Sun cases as well.  Nice power, intuitive cabling.  I hope you are able to use toast 4 with it.

They were designed to be stackable, like the LaCie drives.  So if you have a CD-ROM, Tape, hard drive, etc, they look pretty cool all stacked up.

Thanks for the info!

SimCity works very well at the lower resolution. I played it on an LC for many years with the 12" monitor (same resolution as the CC).
