Hardware / Performa 631CD -- CD Problems
December 16, 2006, 02:47 |
Hmmm, I don't see MacTCP either. The most apparently relevant Control Panel I see is ConfigPPP 2.5, but it only has options for modem and printer ports.... after all, it's PPP, not PPPoE. Nothing has anything resembling TCP/IP in its name. |

Hardware / Performa 631CD -- CD Problems
December 16, 2006, 01:20 |
Wow, talk about a fast reply. Thanks! Unfortunately, I don't see a TCP/IP Control Panel anywhere. I saw it mentioned in tutorials on this site, but maybe it's not present (or named something else) in 7.5. The iMac is running a webserver, so I've tried going to its local IP address on the Performa's Internet Explorer just to see if it worked, but it didn't. I also can't get to the internet, even though I have Internet Sharing enabled from Airport to Ethernet. I suppose I can try hooking the Performa up directly to my router via ethernet... It's just on the other end of the house. I'll see about that tomorrow, probably. |

Hardware / Performa 631CD -- CD Problems
December 15, 2006, 23:53 |
I recently bought a used Peforma 631CD from a thrift store and have been tinkering with it. It's currently running 7.5.4. I have a CD of 7.6, but I can't install it (or anything else, for that matter) because the CD drive only sort of works. It opens and closes, but that's it; it's doesn't spin up, and the CD doesn't show up on the computer. All I'm currently using it for is displaying the video from Gamecube and PS2 games through the video input card; it works fine for that, but I'd like to be able to network it with my iMac G5 (running Tiger) through ethernet. When I try to connect the Performa says, "This file server uses an incompatible version of the AFP protocol..." and of course I can't upgrade AppleTalk because it's too large for the floppy drive. Since the drive is getting power and opening and closing fine, I thought this might be some correctable SCSI problem. Does anyone have any tips? Or if my drive's actually fried, anyone know any good place to get a suitable replacement that will boot, or possibly some workaraound I haven't thought of? Any help would be greatly appreciated. |
