Operating System / short lived ...
October 12, 2007, 23:34 |
I just noticed a 9600/350 for sale, 320MB and 4GB drive, zip drive and cd-rom. The machine looks fine. He's asking 140 bucks, I offered him 40  no bloody way I'm paying more than 50. That thing is for sale for 2 months, the page visited 96 times and no offers whatsoever. He can take it or leave it. I'm already spending more on this than I should ...

Oke, I tried to reinstall but it hung. I then tried to reinitialize the drive and that hangs on installing device driver. I think the harddrive died on me ... Problem is I can't find another harddrive. |

Operating System / Creating a CD in OSX for OS 7.6.1
October 12, 2007, 11:31 |
645MB with 643MB free space. 2MB is used. It's weird because I can create folders but even the smallest file won't be copied to it. |

I'll give drive aid a spin. Cyberduck was installed from the 7.6.1 CD I have. I haven't launched anything from the system or extensions folder, I was simply trying to find the extensions since the control panel item hung. The only thing I have changed is power management via the control panel and I noticed it wasn;t working. I have been looking for a screen saver as well. Oh, I changed the desktop background as well  Seriously, I think it got corrupted when I had to turn it off. I guess I was unlucky or something. If drive aid doesn't fix it I'll reinstall the bugger. |

Oke, I launched extensions manager (or what its called?) and the program hung. I waited 15 minutes or so and forced quit it. I then went on to search the extensions folder manually and found something called cyberduck. I couln't control my curiosity and launched it. The computer completely hung. I turned it off and on and now it shows a folder with a question mark. I can boot off the cd and browse the volumes, except when opening the system folder the system showed a dialog that quickly turned white and I think I saw a black bomb icon. Then it hung again. Fix it or reinstall? I hadn't done anything else to customize it so a reinstall won't have me loose valuable stuff. Thx for the help. Ingemar. |

I read the article on this site. I create the image, 650MB, read/write, format is Mac OS Standard. When I open Info of the item it says I can read/write to the item. So, I mount it and copy something to it then it says there is not enough space. I'm copying only a few KB's. I can create folders though, but no files can be copied into those. What am I missing? |

Operating System / 7.5.x install or boot cd
October 11, 2007, 20:27 |
Oke, got it running although I had to spend some time figuring out what to do to be able to select the harddisk. The readme talked about updating drivers but that didn't work because the disk was not mounted. I found the tools needed to reinitialze the disk and repartition it after which everything worked. I'll post any questions I have in the correct forums (and you bet I have them ;-) ). |

Of course one could always host the picture themself and use bbcode to show pictures in line? Like, for instance (http://gallery.inflatablemouse.com/Media/transparent.gif) Hmm ... I guess that doesn't work like I'm used to

I was lucky enough to find a 7.6.1 cd. I'll keep you guys posted on my progress and maybe post a picture or two when everything is up and running. I'm sure once it is running, I will have more (n00b) questions

Operating System / 7.5.x install or boot cd
October 10, 2007, 19:05 |
Hello everyone, First post here. I'm a recent mac convert and I like to get into the older stuff. I was able to get a powermac 7300 with 96MB of memory and 2G HD and ethernet adapter. I think I downloaded pretty much everything I need to reinstall this bugger with 7.5.3 but the only machine with a floppy installed is in fact that 7300. I have a Mac Pro, Powerbook G4, Powermac G3 B&W and a broken powermac 4400, an Acer laptop without floppy drive and a Windows Desktop (with a floppy drive I just realized). BUT - a couple of weeks ago (before I decided to take on this task of nostalgia) I thrashed hundreds of floppies thinking I wouldn't need them anymore and frankly, I don't wanna buy new ones. I really don't want to fiddle around with those unless absolutely nessecary. I read about bootable cd's, I read about network boot disks and I read about formatting a HD, copying system folders and blessing it. My eyes are sore from reading stories with half the info I need and I can't seem to figure out how to go about. Any help would be greatly appreciated in getting my trusty old 7300 up and running with System 7.5. THX! |
