Operating System / Dual Boot with System 7.6.1 and Mac OS 8.6?
December 03, 2006, 01:46 |
Hiya, I was wondering how I could go about this as I have a large hard disk partitioned as followed in my PowerBook 1400c/133: - 1GB : 'Macintosh HD' (7.6.1) - 1GB : 'Macintosh 8.6' (8.6) - 1GB: 'Applications' 7.6.1 works perfect but I presently need 8.6 to use the wireless card (it's not a genuine Lucent Wavelan, it's a 3rd party Wavelan) to transfer files (I should just get a compact flash card + adapter... Which I will when I have the money), but when I use the 'Startup Disk' control panel in 7.6 and switch to 'Macintosh 8.6' and restart, 8.6 boots but many of the extensions and control panels don't initailise and the fonts are very messed up. Is this conflicting with 7.6.1 and how do I resolve this? I tried rebuilding the desktop once but that didn't help  Any advice would be appreciated although I definitely wish to ditch 8.6 in the long run as 7.6.1 with SpeedDoubler is so much faster! Vicky |

Classifieds / WTB MS Word 5.1 on floppy

I have a spare copy of 5.1a on six 800K floppy disks, US version. All disks work 100%. No manuals though as I'm keeping them!  Vicky |

Software / Word 5.1, 5.1a updater?
September 10, 2006, 18:40 |
Word 5.1 was not a free upgrade to 5.0 sadly. I may have a spare copy of 5.1 here. (I have 5.0 and 5.1 on disk) If I do, I'll post it on here for sale. Word 5.1 had some useful changes including annotation enhancements, better spell checker, toolbar along the top of the screen, Microsoft Chart for embedding charts, enhanced envelope printing (nice and easy!) and a few other bits. Most useless of all: embedding Quicktime movies. Not particularly useful! The 5.1A (note not 'a') update on the Hyperarchive is very useful on Macs with 7.5.3 or later. It disables the memory check that on some Macs (like my 1400cs on OS 8.6) makes Word believe it's out of memory. If you got the user manuals, keep hold of them--they are excellent reading and can teach you so much about Word that you never knew. If you like Word 5 btw, you'll also love Excel 4 if you use spreadsheets. Vicky |

New Member Welcome / If only...

Hello, New member here, long time Macintosh user since about 1990/91 when I used a Macintosh Classic at school, and got my first Mac a IIsi in 1995. The former ran System 7 and I used it for a good few years before finding a IIfx... ...and to cut a long story short, I have been consistently using Word 5.1, Excel 4.0 and PageMaker since those days, though I admit that on my PowerBook 12-inch and PowerMac G4 I use Adobe CS2 Suite a lot more than I do the older Adobe apps! Until recently I was running all of my old stuff on my G4 through Classic or booting Mac OS 9; but that wasn't quite the same. Before that I did have a Power Macintosh 8500 with a G3 upgrade but I sold it and sadly only had Mac OS 8.6 for it. I have now acquired a PowerBook 1400cs/133, 40MB, 1GB HD, good battery, original user manual and System 7.6 and Apps disc (genuine!)with an Apple Portable Stylewriter (basically a Canon BJ10 printer) for £19! The only downside is that at present I purchased a third party WaveLan card (a 2wire one) and it will only work on OS 8.6 with the 7.2 drivers Was wondering if I could resedit the 6.0 drivers to make it work under System 7.6.1--so regretably I'm not running 7.6 even though I'd love to, using OS 8.6 but with black and white appearance to make it look like System 7--never did like the Platinum appearance much!Anyway enough of my whittering and hello!
