Hi Guys,
I'm new to the list - so, firstly - Hello :)
I'm hoping for some advice. I've just inherited two Color Classics - both
working from a boot disk but both without hard disks.
I've found these hard disks on Australia's eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/
eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=5175695778&ssPageName=ADME:X:ON:AU:2
Will these work with a Color Classic?
In principle, yes. But two issues may arise; earlier Apple s/w (HD setup etc) requires 'Apple ROMs' on HDs to format them, but you can either use a patched version to avoid that issue, or one of numerous 3rd party utilities.
The second point is that 7200rpm drives may run a little warm in the confines of the bottom of a CC. I wouldn't run one in the 30 degrees + (90+ for centigradally challenged readers) of an Australian summer!
