:(

I heard the news last night. I was blown away. I never expected it to happen so soon...

R.I.P. Steve. I may not have been a user of your product for all these years, but I really appreciate what you've done for mankind.

Ah alright. Thanks!

I'll look into Applescript and those other ones, but on such a limited machine I'll make minimal usage of it.

And yea I really like those example servers. This one in particular in my favourite: http://www.spacerogue.net/Camneerg/index.html

And wow. That Junkstation looks really good. o_o Kinda makes me wonder what the ol' Macintosh Classics I picked up can do now.

I'll experiment when I do get them up and try to push their limits, but I think in the end I'm just gonna host something very basic and simple. It's all I want to host anyways. Just some random small pictures, small <1 MB executable files, and text.

1) Cool. If it's fixable, I'll keep the one with the slightly distorted screen for the web server (since it would just sit there anyways) and fix up the good screen one (that also has a bad floppy drive I found out) for my own System 6-7 usage. The more I look into classic Mac OS, the more I'm falling in love with pre Mac OS X. So I'll get a friend who's handy with electronics to help me fix it.

Do you know where I can get instructions to fix either of those problems? I can't seem to find any.


2) Oh alright cool. I'll probably look into a bigger drive down the road but if that's the case then 40MB will be fine for now. At least until I get enough content on the server to need expansion.


3) Cool. I got everything I need there to get started!


Thanks a lot guys for taking the time to reply. You guys have been quite helpful and friendly, and that is great for someone completely new to Macs like me. :) I appreciate it.

Cool! Thanks! I looked into those links and they got some useful junk. I got installers for server software so all I need now is an ethernet adapter of sorts and a keyboard and mouse.

Now I got more questions if anyone can answer them for me:


1) One of the two Macs died on me. There were some weird noises inside and when I turned it off, it refused to turn on again. Also the floppy drive didn't want to work. Is this a power supply issue? Can power supplies be switched? Unfortunately this one has the better monitor of the two systems and is the one I want to use as the image on the working Mac is warped and has a nasty scratch on the screen.

Could I move all the working components over to the other system that has the better CRT monitor? Make a "best" system out of the two and throw away the bad components.


2) Both Macs have a hard drive! I assume they're both 40MB drives (since that's what came with them), but can I pop in a bigger drive? I hear System 7 takes up around 40MB itself, so I'd like a bit of extra space. If not, is it possible to have both hard drives inside the same system?


3) Are there any ethernet adapters available for these? Does anyone know where I could find them if they exist?


Thanks!

Hello again. I recently asked a question about Mac web servers, but I just found these on the side of the road: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v478/Tamanozke/Photo0179.jpg

You know what that means right?

Yeap. I'm now going to be a full time System 7 user. :D (Well, once I get peripherals for these. I couldn't find them in the piles)


So now that I have access to computers that run System 7 natively, I guess it's time to get to know you guys!

Hi. I'm Yart, and I live in Canada, Ontario. I'm a completely new Mac user and I hope to learn lots about the classic Mac OSes during my stay here, now especially System 7. :) I like cats and drawing pictures in MS-Paint (being a Windows user all my life until recently). I also have an interest in programming video games.

Nice to meet you guys!


...so anyone know if I could turn these bad boys into web servers? :P

Hello!

I'm a new Mac user who's got his hands into the classic Mac OSes. I'd like to set up an older Mac as my own personal web server.

Does anyone know of any web server programs that support PHP for System 7 OR up? (I'd install OS 9 even if I had to)

I can't find any definite answers about PHP support anywhere.

Also is it secure/safe to host a website on such an old machine? Not a company website, but my own personal one.

Thanks!
