1 Classifieds / wtb g4 upgrade for a 7600
June 17, 2008, 17:53
OWC sells it here: http://eshop.macsales.com/item/Sonnet%20Technology/PPCG410002M/.  I don't have a PCI mac, but I've often thought of getting one of these anyway! For $96, you can't go wrong. Will it run 7.6?

Hi everybody, I heard about this site on Lowendmac, and what a great site it is! I have aquired a few too many old powerbooks (a 170, a duo230, 2 duo280cs, a duo2300c, a 1400c/166, and a 1400c/333 G3) and a IIsi. Currently all of them but the G3 are running 7.x. I haven't had the time to fool around with them too much, but over the next year, I want to learn a little bit about them and see if I can find any way to use them in my life. I posted a question about getting into the IIsi in the main OS 7 forum. I figure someone here will be able to steer me in the right direction.
Happy new year!

Hi everybody, I'm new here. I heard about this site on Lowendmac.
I am inheriting my mother's (who died a few years ago) IIsi. I turned it on for the first time in probably 5 years, and it started up like a charm and displayed a screen saver with a password box -- gotta love them Apples! However I'm not able to type in the password. I don't know if my father remembers the correct password, but when I enter what my he thinks is the password (the command key three times), no asterisks come up in the password box. Why don't the stars show up? I have a few other older macs with 7.6 and when I password protected them -- just to try the feature -- the password box is not within a screen saver and an asterisk appears for every character you enter. The only characters which display are apples when you press the space bar. I tried it a number of times, but each time I pressed return it just started the screen saver moving again.
I know with OS X, you can boot the machine with the install disk and change it with the password changing app. Is this possible with OS 7? I don't know for sure which version it is, but I think it's 7.5.x because there are some install disks that say 7.5.(I don't remember), along with a bunch of other software in a box on her desk -- yes, my dad is finally getting around to clearing out her office, which has been left in its original state like a museum until now. I could just try booting from the install disks and start rooting around, but I'd rather find out what I'm doing before I screw something up.

Thanks in advance and a happy new year to all.
