Hardware / Bought a 9600
January 24, 2007, 12:08 |
Maximum capacity is 1.5GB with twelve 128MB DIMMS. Pretty amazing for the time, and even for just a few years ago. |

Hardware / Boot 7.6 on 9600? (Not 7.6.1)
December 18, 2006, 14:08 |
Yes, true. Apple was doing as it had done previously in allowing all machines being Pre-G3 to operate and be backwards compatable. However by now ALL Mac's were shipping with System 8, so they limited the backward compatability of this as well as the 8600 to System 7.6.1 so that should the user want to operate System 7 they would have to purchase a copy from Apple. |

Software / Productivity App of Choice?
May 06, 2006, 06:46 |
I use Office because I need to, even then I prefer Appleworks. But I use Office for basically everything and save in the most universal format if I can depending on what that is for the app in case I need to use something else. Office is one thing that Microsoft got right. |

Hardware / Mac OS 7.6.1 on Certain Power Macs
May 02, 2006, 10:01 |
Well I was looking at a G3PB, it was just within my boundaries, then I saw an ad for a 1400 and I figured it could do what I needed it to do and also, I've known about this site for... I don't know - I've lost track, but I figured that if I ran OS7 on it I would have a pretty decent machine. So nothing is final yet, but I'm hopeful and anxious at the same time. It's coming with 32MB RAM and a 1GB HD, if I find a cheap G3 card on eBay (>$100) I'll probably consider it, but I think it should be pretty decent as is. Does anyone know what sort of battery it takes, all possible details, I work with delicate electronics a fair bit, and if I can re-pack the battery myself I would like to. Also, does anyone know where the benchmarks have gone from the site? I waited months for them, then they came - and now they're gone...[/i] |

Hardware / Mac OS 7.6.1 on Certain Power Macs

Ah yes, Excellent... As long as nothing goes wrong I'll be getting a Powerbook 1400cs with 32MB RAM and the 166Mhz model with a PCMIA ethernet card for AU$50. |

Hardware / Mac OS 7.6.1 on Certain Power Macs
May 02, 2006, 07:25 |
I know that, I am getting the 1400cs machine, which whilst I know every pre-G3 PPC Mac can support 7.6.1, this is not what Apple tells you for the 1400CS... so I imagine for this particular model you would need a direct install of OS7.6.1... Apple states that the lowest supported version of the Mac Os for the 14000cs is OS8.0... which I'm sure is wrong, but eh... |

Hardware / Mac OS 7.6.1 on Certain Power Macs
May 02, 2006, 04:05 |
I'm buying myself a 1400cs, anyway one thing a saw was that the supported OS is 8.0 through to 9.1, please tell me I can get OS7? :cry: I was pretty sure that it could... I'm going to try anyway, it was released in 97/98 and so I am guessing that it would require a 7.6.1 install CD, anyway short of buying a copy from Apple which I don't necessarily want to do, would anyone be able to send my a copy of OS7.6.1 if they can even just to try. But there's something to look into, wether or not the 1400cs can take OS7.6.1 |

Classifieds / Insane deal on fast Power Macs
May 02, 2006, 03:17 |
That would be awesome if I lived anywhere near there, I hope someone here or someone that can really appreciate those machines gets them. Otherwise, I'd be more than glad to drop a penny for em' :lol: |
