Operating System / Found it, but there's a problem...
November 18, 2007, 05:20 |
OK, I managed to install ATM using the QuickDraw GX installer on my Mac OS 7.6 CD, it's in my Control Panels folder and says it's active, but I'm not getting any results with fonts. Is there something else I need to do? |

Operating System / Font not displaying properly
November 09, 2007, 22:54 |
Looks like the version of Acrobat Reader on this site is PPC-only anyway. I guess I'll cross my fingers for an old version of Deluxe on eBay... why is it so difficult to find anything but the latest version of freeware? |

OK, now I see I need that. Having trouble finding out where to get a version compatible with my system, though; any suggestions? |

Operating System / Font not displaying properly
November 07, 2007, 22:35 |
I've been trying to install a font on my Quadra 840AV (OS 7.6.1) and I'm having some strange issues. I have a font suitcase for Adobe Garamond that's installed on my Power Mac running OS X, where it works fine. I wanted to install this font on the Quadra too, so I drag the suitcase into the System Folder and it registers in Nisus Writer, but I have a problem. When I type text with the font, it appears pixellated , even though it's supposed to be a TrueType font suitcase. At first I thought maybe the font was some sort of newer format incompatible with System 7, but the creation date on the file is sometime in 1995, so I assume that's not the case. Does this problem sound familiar to anyone? Thanks in advance. |

Operating System / Re: Where to get 7.1
November 07, 2007, 22:28 |
For future reference, this page contains a download link for 7.1 disk images, among many other things. That whole site's a pretty good resource worth digging around in, for those who haven't checked it out yet. |

Operating System / Desktop Printer Utility and PPDLib
September 17, 2007, 01:16 |
I had a USB printer connected to my OS X Mac set up as a desktop printer on my Quadra 840AV (using LaserWriter 8.6 and the instruction on this site), but I reinstalled the OS a while ago. I just went to open Desktop Printer Utility to re-create the desktop printer, but I got this message: Code: [Select] The application "Desktop Printer Utility" could not be opened because "PPDLib" could not be found.I can't find any file called PPDLib on my computer, and I can't find any information about it online. I even reinstalled the LaserWriter 8.6 software with no luck. Could anyone tell me what's going on? Thanks in advance. |

Operating System / AppleShare Client 3.8.3
August 25, 2007, 04:49 |
Yeah, I was networking both ways just fine with 10.3.x, but Apple removed the AppleTalk sharing capabilities from 10.4. Until I discovered this site and AppleShare 3.8.3, I was stuck, but at least I can share files in one direction now. |

Operating System / no control strip on 7100 g3
August 05, 2007, 17:02 |
I don't think the 7.6.1 installer gave Control Strip as an option for my Quadra, either, unless I just missed it. Extracting the Control Strip control panel with TomeViewer worked fine. |

Hardware / Quadra with Ethernet

Sound advice. I've never been able to get a proper Internet connection without using OpenTransport, anyway. |

Operating System / System 7 Macs
July 10, 2007, 15:49 |
Thought I'd re-post here since my original reply was split off to a new topic. My main System 7 Mac is a Quadra 840AV (96 MB RAM) running 7.6.1. I also have a 6500/250 that now runs 7.6.1 as well, and some '030 pizza boxes that I keep on 7.1 Update 3. A IIsi and a IIci that are set up, then an LC III and three more IIcis that are stacked in a closet for the time being. |

Operating System / Question about Mac Os 7.6 Packaging
July 03, 2007, 02:48 |
We're talking about the auction of 4 boxed copies of 7.6 that ended today? I picked up one of those too. |

Software / LibMoto (A article about how it is Bull)
July 03, 2007, 02:39 |
I tried LibMoto on my Power Mac 6500, but it made the system so unstable that I couldn't use it. Not sure why, but I'm doing fine without it. |

Hardware / 8100 with sonnet accelerator card and OS 9.1
June 29, 2007, 06:34 |
WaMCom is pretty good. It opens every page I go to just fine, which iCab still can't do even though being actively developed. I can do some web browsing in System 7, but I need a minimum of 8.6 and WaMCom to do everything. Running 7.6 on a G3 sounds awesome, but I'd definitely have OS 8 or 9 on there too since you've got something that will run it well. |

Operating System / 10 Years Ago
June 29, 2007, 06:01 |
10 years ago I was writing school reports on Power Mac 5200s and LC 520s. Using those every day led me to bring Macs home before too long, so here I am. Here's to 10 years of System 7 (for me), and looking forward to 10 more. I don't know how many of us there will be considering how most of the Mac users I run into anymore only know OS X, but I expect to be working with System 7 far into the future. |
