You can get a good snapshot of the scene at that time in Australian & New Zealand by looking through the following CDs: Ian and Stuart's Australasian Mac CD http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/ian-and-stuarts-australasian-mac-cd Another Ian & Stuart's Australasian Mac CD http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/another-ian-stuarts-australasian-mac-cd They contain all sorts of material like local software writers and their software, user groups, magazine stuff, bits and pieces from the internet of the day and more. |

Off Topic Discussion / Re: Does anyone here have a Farallon EtherWave adapter?
January 23, 2025, 08:16 |
To power it from your Mac instead of a power socket, mine came with an ABD power connector cable. You plug one end into the socket on the end of the EtherWave ADB cable (middle cable that looks like a tail) and the other end goes into the ADB socket on your Mac. I have never used the EtherWave this way and have always used the wall plug power adaptor. There is a manual with diagrams for the model that powers from the Mac at the following link on the Internet Archive: https://archive.org/details/farallon-etherwave-mac-powerbook-adapter-manual-guide-book/page/n1/mode/2up Most of the manual is devoted to networking with multiple EtherWaves for which you need an installer disk. Just ignore all that and look at the first couple of diagrams that illustrate the ADB power option. if you only plan to use the device in simple way like I have done no disk is required. EDIT: Info on using a wall power adaptor is in an appendix of the manual |

I have an EtherWave like you have. I use it to connect an LC630 to a G3 or G4 iMac. The centre cable connects to the LC630 and an ethernet cable connects the EtherWave to the iMac. Originally I used it to connect a Mac to the Internet and the centre cable to an old printer. My device was purchased in Australia, so the wall power connection is 240V. The power adaptor reduces that to 12V DC 350 mA. The info on the back of the EtherWave says Voltage input 5V/8-16V or maybe 8.16. I will scan the info on the adaptor and the back of the Etherwave and put a link here to the images in the next 24 hours. The 8-16 vs 8.16 issue should be resolved by zooming |

Regarding bad sectors on floppies in System 6, there is the BAD init available on the Garden that is useful. http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/bad-11 |

Off Topic Discussion / Re: OSX question: Finder not updating the desktop
February 23, 2024, 10:46 |
I have had files not showing in the Finder after they are put there if the Finder is busy doing something else as well. They show up after the Finder has finished with its other tasks. It is certainly annoying. If I want to move these files or rename them before they show up, I use the Terminal, but this shouldn't be necessary. |

Off Topic Discussion / Re: Burning DVDs?
January 08, 2024, 12:12 |
I have found that burning from the Finder on a Mac will sometimes give the desired bootable disc when other methods do not. However, if using a Mac to burn is not an option then I'm not sure what you can do. |

March 25, 2022, 11:00 |
If it is Acrobat you are talking about then try this: ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/acrobat/mac/3.x/ If it is another adobe product you refer to, then go up the directory tree to ftp://ftp.adobe.com/pub/adobe/ and look there. |

Here is something that might help: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/trashdisable It won't stop kids rearranging the location of files but will stop them deleting stuff. There is also an old article called "Childproof your Mac" downloadable on the page with some additional strategies. |

I have just uploaded File Date Fixer to Macintosh Garden (http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/file-date-fixer). It is for PowerPC only unfortunately, but according to the ReadMe it should work on System 7 with Appearance Manager installed. |

Software / Re: Genealogy / heritage software (with GEDCOM support)
September 25, 2021, 13:26 |
Reunion versions 4, 5 and 6 on the Garden are advertised as supporting GEDCOM. I haven't tried to use these versions or using GEDCOM import or output with them. However, I have a soft spot for Reunion as I use a modern version to record my family tree. |
