My first conquest! (no, not just pictures)
It would have been nice if you'd taken the little TM and R marks out of the file and folder names.
So Leik can these work in PPC as well?
Most of the time they will, but not always. Some programs are written specifically in mind for that particular era of Macintosh, and the program may call on apart of the OS and/or microprocessor that isn't present in a PPC machine running a newer OS. AfterDark 2.0, for example, won't run on anything except System 6 or older.
Also, some games are written to go as fast as the computer can push it. Pirates! Gold is not playable on any PowerPC machine except maybe the 601 simply because it's too fast. The game really was designed for 040 speed machines or slower.
All I can suggest is to give it a try.
In other news, I guess the CRT was just too old. It stopped working, but not before the picture went wonky. Shaking the display would make it work again, so that leads me to believe it's a bad solder connection. My problem is that I don't have a clue where to start looking in order to fix it. I think it got damaged in transit.
Oh well. At least I have the boxes and accelerator cards. I'm gonna keep my eye out for another monitor and an LC motherboard. I really wanna get these working.
It's a good idea to check the caps first and see if the motherboard's repairable in it's current state.
