Hardware / Re: PowerMac 5500 CF data corruption
April 05, 2021, 17:41 |
I am not sure about 7.6.1 but with System 7.5 the largest partition size is 4GB. The largest hard drive size would probably be much larger (I think but am not sure but I beleive that ATA66 can handle up to 128GB drives), but when you setup the hard drive you will need to make sure that no partition exceeds 4GB in size. I assume if you partition you 4GB card into 2 2GB partitions you will have no problems. bill |

Hardware / Re: Opening a PowerBook 1400 Battery Pack

Typically battery packs are sealed units and they need to be cut open. At least I have never encountered on that pops or snaps apart. I generally used a blade on a Dremel Tool. And when you are done you glue it all back together. |

This is a link to part one of rebuilding a 1400 battery pack on Youtube and should cover what you are asking: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hv96cEUWFZs> bill |

New Member Welcome / Re: Nice to see the site up again

I checked in every day for years and System7Today has always been in my browsers "favorites bar". My log-in was still saved in my browser stuff, but it did not work. I gave the "I forgot my password" a try but it said the email I provided was no longer associated with the account. So I just went ahead and started a new account. It is good to see the site back to fully functional. There were many times when I would seem people make reference to material from this site. There are many great articles and the forums are full of tips, and instructions and anecdotes of the old Mac systems. bill |

Software / Re: Email solution: an idea
March 10, 2021, 01:32 |
Mac applications especially in the System 7 era were typically engineered to do one task, do the task simply and efficiently. This resulted in power users often saying that Macs were just toys. I think Eudora was an answer to that, bringing as much complexity to email as could be brought to bear. In fairness, it was a very comprehensive package, a real master of the mbox. It strongest and perhaps most enduring feature was its ability to archive, sort and maintain very large collects of email (tens of thousands of messages. Rule could be created to deal with spam and sort emails into folders, signatures could be automated to have specific signatures assigned to specific reciepients. Personally I never had need for such and found Claris eMailer a delightful program. bill |

New Member Welcome / Nice to see the site up again

I was the moderator on these forums for many years. It was nice to see it back up. I had to re-register and it would not let me use my old user name saying it was already taken. As it wound down most of what I did was simply delete spam, which the site got in spades. In any event now that it is back, and hopefully sees much more use I will get back to checking in from time to time. I really would like to get back to using my old user name. Enjoy you day. bill |
