1 Classifieds / Macintosh Performa 6115CD
June 27, 2010, 20:50
I have two Macintosh Performa 6115CDs in my collection.  I'm not sure what the difference between a 6115 and a 6116 is...

Welcome, Jamie-Jamie!

I never had to pretend to like Windows.  I got a Fat Mac in 1985 and have been Mac ever since.  The Mac collecting bug bit me hard and took on a life of its own.  While I have bought some of my collection, most of them have managed to find me because word has gotten out that I collect them.  I've got around 40... almost all still work.

My newest Mac is a 2.8 GHz 24" iMac in my home office.  One work office has one of the first release Mac Pros with a Dell 24" LCD (sorry!).  My other office has a newish aluminum 20" iMac.  I also have a Macbook that I can use when I pry it away from my wife and kids.

Like user Lichen Software, I'm old.  My first Mac was a Mac 512K.  I thought the original Mac had too little memory to be useful and held off buying until the 512K came out.  That 512K was later upgraded to a 512KE and, later, a Plus.  I still have it:  http://dredgereport.blogspot.com/

My first computer was an Apple II+.  It had 64K (including the 16K Language Card), an Apple III green-screen monitor, two 5.25" Disk II floppies, a Videx 80-column card, and an Epson MX-80III dot-matrix printer.  That set-up cost $3300 back in the day.
5 Hardware / System Error Type 10 on 8600

That did the trick after two attempts at disk repair.
6 Hardware / System Error Type 10 on 8600
May 06, 2007, 04:27
I just installed 7.6.1 (from a 5500, 6500 CD-ROM) on a very stock 8600 (32M RAM, 2G HD, 200MHz system).  Installation went smoothly, rebooted and got a system error type 10.  Type 10 errors are illegal instructions... that didn't offer lots of insight, beyond making me wonder if the CD-ROM won't install on the 8600 properly.

Any ideas?  Thanks!

Might be cheaper elsewhere, I don't know.

Sometimes logic boards appear on Ebay.  More likely are listings for dead/parts doner Duos for about $10.  Of course, since you don't know why those are dead, it may take several purchases to get what you want...

You used to be able to bless a System file by removing it from the System Folder and then putting it back.  Is that still the method or is there some other mechanism?

Thanks!
10 Software / Possible solution

The Mac I'm having problems with is a Power Macintosh 5500/225.  Is it possible that I need 7.6.1 to boot on that machine which is why 7.6 doesn't work?
11 Software / Similar problem
July 28, 2006, 18:55
I have a System 7.6 CD (CD-R) that says it is a "Mac OS standard" disc.  My 5500 will not boot from it.  The 5500 says that this disc can't be used on this Mac (or something similar).

Any ideas?
12 Off Topic Discussion / Mines not as nice

My IIfx cost $4 (that's right, "four"), came with 20M RAM, video card, and Ethernet card.  No hard drive.  Case in very good shape.  Booted right up off of an external hard drive.  $570 for the one in the auction sounds a bit steep, but that was an awfully nice one.

I have two Performa 6115CDs (same as Power Mac 6100) and a Power Mac 5400/200 -- neither type is a great candidate for a Radeon 7000.  I just picked up a Power Macintosh G3 today -- that system would be a good candidate.

Do you have a preferred supplier for the 7000?

I've got Mac OS 6.0.8, 7.0.1, 7.1, 7.5.5, 7.6.1, 8.1, 8.6, 9.2.2, and 10.4.6 running on various machine or, more accurately, running when I plug them in and boot them up.  Because of this site, I'm thinking of standardizing as much as I can on 7.6.1.
