Hardware / Fastest machine for System7.6
January 25, 2012, 19:17 |
The fastest would probably be a 9600 with the carrier card and a G3/G4 ZIF upgrade. The ZIFS can go to 1 or 1.1 GHz. Fastest stock would be the 604e 9600. |

Hardware / What is the oldest Mac you use daily?
December 31, 2011, 14:46 |
My Powerbook G3 Wallstreet running 9.2.2 and MintPPC 11 is my main mobile machine. The WS runs off a Compact Flash card and is quiet, wifi provided by an Orinoco Gold in both OSs. I keep my Dell Latitude C810 that I brought back from the dead on standby in case the WS has a snitfit on me. The Latitude runs Linux Mint 9. My main mac desktop is a B&W G3 running MintPPC 11 and eventually I'll get 10.4.11 back on there. So long as I keep my ][e or ][gs handy, I'm often tempted to write some applesoft BASIC when the idea pops into my head. I have many other 68k & PPC macs, but alas, they usually just sit. |

Hardware / Color Classic Dilemma
October 17, 2011, 20:23 |
1) 8MB is about the bare minimum for 7.5 + applications. 10 should be OK, but don't expect to run a web browser or anything like that. 2) 10.6 and above can read hfs (not talking about hfs+) , but will not write to it. I can confirm this as I am on a 10.6.8 iMac at school atm and it will not write to my hfs thumb drive. 3) Idk about format, but... You need to be careful about media as well. My PDQ's CD drive will only read CD-R. It won't read CD-RW even if burned on another Mac OS 9 machine. I found this out when trying to make Debian CDs. Sheepshaver has CD drivers for Windows, they might have them for OS X. If so, you can give control of your optical drive to SheepShaver and format with OS 9. |

I had this issue as well. I just switched from America's time server to the europe one and now it syncs fine. Go figure. |

New Member Welcome / Well, looks like I'm here to stay.

It sounds like one of the boards is bad and one of your CRTs is bad. So, just switch the working board and floppy drive into the good CRT one and you're set to go. Then, get an external enclosure for the extra 40MB drive and keep a backup of your server data in case one or the other of the drives dies on you. However, if they both came with a HDD originally, then they both have the rare(-ish) memory daughter card and should have came with stock 2 MB of RAM as opposed to 1MB. So, even if you opt to scrap rather than fix the bad board, be sure to grab the memory daughter card. Sorry, I can't be much help on finding 68000 server sofware. |

I own a duodock plus; it works wonderfully. Ejector mechanism was causing a short on the logicboard making it not boot. Now I just keep the cover off and use the powerbook keyboard and mouse. So, it works, and no need to buy an ADB keyboard. My only complaint is the loud PSU fan, which would normally be covered  I'm looking to get portable wireless. I believe my best(and I think only) option is an emachines etherdock. The apple minidock doesn't have an ethernet or AAUI port. |

Ok, cool. That thing is really a marvel. I give a 10/10 to netgear, especially on the broswer requirements of only IE 5. It opens up a good deal of possibilities. Issue is, minidock doesn't give Ethernet. I believe it has a pass-through for the modem, but not a 10baseT line or an AAUI. This is according to my original documentation. I know emahcines made an etherdock, maybe I could find one of those. Just wondering: My docs both mention an internal and external modem port on both the Duo Dock plus and the minodock. What is the difference between those? (Getting the WHOLE box of original docs and floppies was what made this thing worth the 30$, even with a faulty ejector) |

Well, the minidock is rather portable. Hopefully the adapter won't be too huge, and usb adapters can just be taped/velcroed to the top of the laptop. I also figured out what was srewing my duodock plus over.The ejecting mechanism, which hadn't worked since I bought it, was shorting over the motor. I removed the part with the pins and motor that got so hot you couldn't touch it, and VOILA; no more complicated "Today I'm going to boot, but tomorrow I won't" I will definitely look into that thread. |

Ok, there are no 8.6 compatible usb dongles. There are what I could find that were usb and 9.x . I'm going to wait on some advice about my minidock to HDI-30, HDI-30 to scsi and scsi to usb idea before I buy anything. I'm glad I posted hear and didn't buy a xircom card with no PCMCIA. Asante 802.11b AL2001 USB Amtel 9, 10.2-10.4 Belkin 802.11b F5D6050 USB Amtel 9, 10.2-10.4 Buffalo 802.11b WLIPCML11G USB (?)

/explodes I was informed it did have a PCMCIA, now I'm ticked. I don't have a torx handy, waiting for one from ebay, or I would have checked already. I guess I'm back to minidock and then HDI-30 to scsi, scsi-usb and a dongle. Assuming that qill even work, I now need to find an 8.6 compatible dongle. Also, is the ram ceiling in these 54 or 64, different sites have said both. Mine has 40mb RAM atm. Lastly, anyway to partition the internal hd of the powerbook while it is docked? |

I recently obtained a Powerbook 2300c with 7.5.2 and a LOT of crap on it(30$). I also got a not-functioning duo dock plus with it. I opened the dock and now found the lousy psu connector. I don't have a keyboard, so I am simply using the powerbook's keyboard with it docked since I have the lid off anyway. ANYWAY, I took the time to transfer 19 floppies back and forth between my xp machine and it. I now have 7.5.3 on a 1.8 gb partiton on the internal 4gb of the dock. I backed up the Powerbook's internal drive to that same location. I was wondering if someone could point in the right direction for a partitioner? I'm looking to have a partiton for 7.5.3 and either 8.6 or 9.1 when I get the abilities to use a cd-rom with it. I know it will be slow, but it is the only way to get wifi into this older book. tl;dr version Good partitioner for 7.5.3? |
