Operating System / 7.6.1 on a PM 6100 - startup problem
March 31, 2011, 08:20 |
The idea of using Drive Setup 1.7.3 to update the disk driver came to me after reading this tech note: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1249?viewlocale=en_US Mac OS 7.6 discs have an earlier version of Drive Setup (1.2.2) so it's possible 1.7.3 did something different to the disk. |

Operating System / 7.6.1 on a PM 6100 - startup problem

Problem solved!! Here's what I did. I booted from an Apple Software Restore CD and initialized the hard drive (again) using Drive Setup 1.7.3. This time I only made a single partition. Then I updated the disk driver. This is something I don't remember doing before, at least not using Drive Setup 1.7.3. And finally I installed 7.6 and 7.6.1 from the same Apple Software Restore CD. What did the trick? The single partition? Updating the disk drivers? Both? |

Operating System / 7.6.1 on a PM 6100 - startup problem
March 29, 2011, 18:24 |
I checked the connections inside the computer, took off the RAM (2 x 32 MB), the CD-ROM unit and the Ethernet transceiver, it still doesn't work. I don't think it's a hardware problem since Mac OS 8.1 on another partitition works fine, and also 7.5.5 which was installed before. I erased the hard drive before I installed 7.6.1 and 8.1. The fact that Dimitris1980 had the same problem makes me think there is an incompatibility between certain versions of the 6100 and 7.6.1. Dimitris is from Greece, I'm from Romania. My 6100 was bought from Germany, and I suspect his computer was bought from Europe too (am I right, Dimitris?). Who knows, maybe the 6100s sold in Europe have something different? |

Operating System / 7.6.1 on a PM 6100 - startup problem

I found a System Recovery CD containing all versions of Mac OS. It even has a directory with systems for the PowerMac 6100, including 7.6.1. It still doesn't work! This is driving me crazy. |

Today I updated the 7.5.5 installation to 7.6, thinking maybe It works that way. It doesn't. I had a 7.6.1 system running fine on that computer but I can't remember what I did to install it. |

Operating System / 7.6.1 on a PM 6100 - startup problem

Hello, My Power Mac 6100/60 AV refuses to run 7.6.1. I installed a brand new system from a CD and everything went fine during the installation, but as soon as I restarted I got this white window and the system frozen with no mouse pointer: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5417175/6100-freeze.jpg Shift-booting works, so I thought it's an extension problem. I disabled everything in the Extensions Manager - still not working. What else I should try? Is there a known incompatibility between 6100 and Mac OS 7.6.1? (7.5.3 and 8.1 work fine on that computer). |

Thank you, DiskCopy 4.2 did the trick. |

Operating System / Mount MFS disk image
May 31, 2010, 21:27 |
Hello, I have a .image file I cannot open in Mac OS 7.6 on a PowerMac 6100. Eventually I found out it's a copy from an old 400k floppy disc formatted as MFS. Is there a way to mount these files and read the content? Thanks. |

Hardware / SupraExpress Modem - need some info
March 20, 2008, 19:37 |
Quote from: "dpaanlka" You mean Serial, of course... No, it's ADB. The modem has two plugs. One is for the serial port. It took me a while to figure out that the second one is actually a dual male/female ADB connector. Male for the computer ADB port, female for plugging in the keyboard. |

Nevermind, I finally figured out that the modem is powered by the ADB port. Duh! |

Hardware / SupraExpress Modem - need some info
March 20, 2008, 18:00 |
Someone gave me a SupraExpress 33.6 modem for Macintosh. Only the modem, no power brick, manuals or software. Does anyone have any information about this type of modem? A manual, product sheet, technical specs, anything I can use to identify how to power it? |

Quote from: "dpaanlka" Where did you find it, out of curiosity? Usenet. |

Quote from: "Minimalist" Medieval? It was the 15th century. I consider that to be "modern" history. 15th century, Eastern Europe, modern history? No way. We were still busy fighting with Tatars and Turks here in the East. No time for Renaissance things... Quote from: "Minimalist" Nice little revolution Romania had in 1989, too. Gotta love a country that takes their political leaders to a military base, gives them a mock trial, and then guns them down with AK-47s within minutes of the guilty verdict. Oh, and televises the execution, too! See what I mean? Sometimes we're still doing things like it' 1450 again!

Ha ha, blood spilling was a very popular "sport" during the Medieval Ages in this part of Europe. So there had to be a champion somewhere! LOL |

I've been fascinated by the Mac world since early 90's, however my true Mac experience began in 2004 with Panther on a PowerMac G5. I never really used Classic operating systems until a couple of years ago, when I got a Clamshell iBook with Mac OS 9 and I began experimenting with old software and hardware in my spare time. The reason I'm here is because I got a rare piece of software: Mac OS 7.6.1 Romanian. Mac OS 7.5 and 7.6.1 are the only versions of Mac OS which have been translated by Apple in Romanian. This may not be important for you, but it is for me because, well, I'm a Romanian. It's nice to be here and this site is a great resource for those still inlove with the Classic Mac OS. All the best, Tudor |
