Operating System / frontier 4.2.3 - available anywhere?
September 08, 2010, 01:16 |
Hello, I was hoping to find the freeware version of Frontier (the Aretha release 4.2.3), but the download references I find are dead. Anyone have a good link for that? Thanks! |

Operating System / thanks Dan, that does indeed work

appreciate it. I actually downloaded version 1.6 from the section here earlier but missed it on the page. I had a recollection like it was on a scrapbook page in the folder for some reason... Thanks again! |

Operating System / the free panic transmit serial missing?
August 25, 2010, 14:53 |
Hello all. Sometime ago Panic made their version 1.7 of Transmit free by providing a serial to use. I recently had to put this on a machine again but can't find the scrapbook item that had the serial to use in the folder anymore. Perhaps I am blind and not seeing it somewhere in the readme etc, but I suspect that they had to put the free folder on their website again and simply neglected to include that info even though they still indicate the retired versiom is free... I hate to email and bug them about it, especially if I am just overlooking it. Has anyone here got the scrapbook page where they included the serial num for the free 1.7 version handy? Unfortunately web searches for it were turning up tons of keygen, crack entries as the Google results have peaked in utility due to spam, etc.... TIA |

Software / re: datalogging

Hello Tom, I have interfaced classic mac to hardware in the past using Hypercard and a device called AB I/O from a defunct organization called Beehive Technologies... I have also used older versions of Realbasic to control serial communications. I didn't do these on System 7 however and I don't know anything specific with regard to temperature probes... Probably the easiest option to find would be Hypercard with a serial XMCD and a temp probe with serial output. Goodluck! |

Have been monitoring and waiting for this since the original announcement. True to word, it has been released, and several sites that didn't render correctly or at all before now work (like google news for instance). It is unfinished but this is the best news for classic mac browsers in a long time. Unfortunately it is 8.6 and up, but still, this might be what others here have been looking for... |

Operating System / Largest CF card with Addonics?
February 12, 2009, 21:37 |
Hi all. What is the largest size compact flash card that can be used with one of the Addonics adapters? If the limit is related to the OS, I am actually concerned with OS 9 although I realize that is not the scope of this site. I am using a 4gb in a lombard. I am considering larger to share with OSX but just don't know if there is a size limit or if these things will continue to work even when the 64gb become cheap... Thanks! |

Operating System / hi rlawson

The main thing is simply this dual CF-IDE adapter from addonics... http://addonics.com/products/flash_memory_reader/adeb44idecf.asp On the Lombard, it is merely a matter of flipping up the keyboard, popping the drive sled out and unplugging the harddrive and plugging this thing in instead. I bought some flash memory from an ebay vendor (abc1478963) which came directly from HongKong. The packaging was nonexistent, in a minibaggie in regular envelope which looked slightly scuffed but the flash was fine. Now there is a twist to the setup. While I was waiting for the memory to arrive my wife bought me a 4 gig flash from the local office supply. The IDE adapter is a dual adapter so it can hold two chips. The 4 gig my wife got for me locally was Sandisk Extreme III. When the adapter came with that card I could not get the computer to recognize it. However, the CF I bought from ebay was 2 GB Sandisk CF Ultra II (supposedly and according to the label). I bought it for 9.99 with 8.99 for shipping... Because I had seen in Low End Mac articles that the Flash type can make a difference, I waited until the 2 GB came. I put that in the Master level, and put the 4 GB in the slave position plugged it into the harddrive cable and started with the startup CD. Was able then to initialize both with Disk Util. from the CD ( a white i-book install CD) and then install OS 9.2 immediately thereafter. I put OS 9 on the 2 GB and I have installed 10.2 on the 4 GB disk although I honestly only use that if I need a quick fancy diagram knocked up in omniGraffle. I'm a Luddite and much prefer classic mac apps for just about everything, but OmniGraffle makes knocking out spiffy anti-aliased drop shadowy images easier than Appleworks or Aldus Superpaint. The only other thing in OS X that gives me almost as much joy is Purgatory Designs Intaglio. However, by choosing OS 9 as my main system, I can do a complete reinstall fast at any time and can keep a complete backup of everything on USB drives now, etc. There are some blessings for choosing to live frozen in time... Only missing out on the streaming video these days.... |

Operating System / os 9.2.2 on Lombard with Addonics CF
June 20, 2008, 18:12 |
Hi all, I realize that this is offtopic for system 7 but it is relevant to the topic. I recently took an ebay acquired Lombard and with some modifications, I get excellent results with OS 9.2. I bought an Addonics CF flash card drive substitute and bought some CF cards very inexpensively directly from a HongKong ebayer and now have a silent, zippy, long battery life classic machine. I used the install software left over from one of those white ibooks I bought in 2002 that had the wonky graphics card that popped from the mainboard because the machine flexed. I find 9.2 on this machine to be very steady. I use Wamcom browser for problem sites and IE for general known renderable sites, but in general I really enjoy the machine. It is quiet, much cooler than modern machines on the lap and on the eyes... I can't go all the way back to system 7.6 for some things I like to do, and so I reside in classic 9.2 land. I really like this site, the look and feel and the information, but feel a little guilty because while I keep a classic flame burning it isn't 7.6.... Really appreciate it Dan. I do recommend the CF drive substitute for those that like tinkering ..... |

Hi Dale: I am somewhat interested... does it indicate the version? Also, to be clear, are you offering it for the $6 shipping amount or are you seeking a bid in addition to that amount? Wayne |

New Member Welcome / the site looks nice
April 11, 2008, 23:38 |
The avid cinema site looks nice. I wish I knew more about it. I have a beloved 6500 (not cinema) and the thing always seemed to have a bit more snappiness even than a later 8500... The nostalgia over these old machines is both fun and painful. I look forward to any content you find and put up, am curious now.... |

Software / thanks for all the info

I just want to put a big thank you up for all the suggestions... I understand Dan's point about flagging what would and wouldn't work under system 7, but I do appreciate the other pointers as well... Lots of interesting stuff out there. |
