Hardware / Two questions...
June 07, 2007, 18:12 |
Is the modem you've installed in your machine faster than 28.8? If so, judging by what I'm reading about your system software, there may be an incompatibility issue. And, you wouldn't by chance have another on board modem connected to your computer at the same time would you? That would also cause issues. |

Software / Use OS 9 and Toast 5.
June 07, 2007, 18:00 |
I know this comes a little late, but try this: Use your OS 9 capable machine (e.g. a g3 or g4). Start your computer up in either OS 9 or 10.2.8 or earlier. Roxio Toast Titanium 5.x (or Adaptec Toast 4.2 which is only System 7, 8, and 9 compatible.) has the ability to burn discs in the HFS standard format much more easily and gives you more options. Try that if all else fails. |

Operating System / "Cheat" the system...
June 07, 2007, 17:35 |
I was reading your topic and I thought of something that might be a supplemental help: I have a Power Macintosh 5400/180 with 16 MB of RAM running OS 7.6. I had a similar dilemma with my machine. Instead, I was trying to install OS 9.0.4 on it, then upgrade it to 9.1. But, of course, all versions of OS 9 require 32 MB of minimal system RAM. I tried starting the computer up from the OS 9.0.4 installer CD and it said, "the software to be installed requires at least 32 MB of system RAM which this computer does not have." Okay, so that's a problem. But, there's a way around this!! What you have to do is install the system software on ANOTHER computer that has the sufficient amount of physical RAM installed. Once installed, burn the System Folder to a CD or send over the network to the other machine. (If running System 7 and you want to "hack" up your System version, you need to partition your hard drive before doing this.) Example, my Powerbook 3400 has 40 MB of RAM. I installed the system on the Powerbook. I used Toast 4.2 and an external SCSI CD burner to write the installed system contents of the 3400's system to a CD-R. Once it was done, I popped the "installed" OS 9.1 software CD-ROM into the Power Macintosh with 16 MB of RAM. Using the drag and drop technique, I dragged the "System Folder" on the CD-ROM to the Power Macintosh. Then, using the "Startup disk" control panel, I chose the partition of the hard drive that contained the OS 9.1 folder. Restarted. The computer now loads OS 9.1!! :-) (With no memory messages.) If you are using OS 8 and have the version of startup disk that allows you to switch between multiple system folders on one hard disk partition, you can switch without having to create separate partitions. But since System 7 has the basic startup disk control panel, the only way to do this, is to partition your hard drive from the beginning. Anyway, this technique works with any Mac OS version. So, try it with your OS 8.5.1 install disk and see what happens... |
