What I did when I had this problem is take the hard drive out, put it into a tiger capable mac, then install tiger on that first partition, before the user setup process, just tak…

I did the same install on a beige G3 some back and had a couple of problems. I had to format a partition not at but slightly under 8 gb and it had to be the first partition on the …

I wonder if I should partition the whole 80gb drive into 7.5gb partitions and see what that does. Click to expand... You'd just end up with a whole lot of 7.5GB patitions, whic…

Just tried it. Screwed around with the drive configuration and got the same results as before. I wonder if I should partition the whole 80gb drive into 7.5gb partitions and see wha…

I do know AppleWorks does pay attention to that switch. You could conceivably use the switch for other things, as it just flags a certain address in memory. I doesn't actually do a…

try making is something like 7.5GB. that's probably the problem.

It's not my recording, but discovering and listening to the online clip the other day finally inspired me (after some 12 years as a Newton user!) to install the macintal.pkg, talkt…

Ok, so if you read my buildup thread, you know that I have a 300 MHZ beige G3 minitower that I'm trying to install tiger on. It has 768 MB ram, rev. c ROM (recognizes second hard d…

I've got speech enabled on mine too. Its kinda fun to have it read stuff. It will also speak the temperature.

here ... and it's not a bad speech, either.

Can you approach it from the server side? Can you add VT emulation config files to your home directory and profile?

I always use a hard disk -- one that is usable but disposable -- for 12V and 5V testing. It is easy to make a test cable (with tapping points to measure voltages) from salvaged wir…

Actually, macdan has a solution that does not involve finding the same hinges (all three displays use different hinges, but the same clutch). All you need to do is pop off the clut…

Sure, go ahead.

Anyone have this archived anywhere? I have an original of this, on 3.5" floppy. If anyone wants it, I can upload it. I also have a bunch of of other stuff from Quality Computers he…

Have you tried taking out all drives except for the optical, and then giving it a go? That way it would force it to boot off the disc, or not at all. Sometimes my b&w G3 wo…

Does any newton program have this? I'd really like to term into my work server, but the guys in the upper echelon many years ago decided to use the WYSE standard for terminal. I do…

Have you tried removing the SATA card and just using the IDE drive?

The Apple II power-supply is fairly "intelligent". If it detects a no-load situation (that is, nothing is taking the electricity), it will short-circuit itself indefinitely. This w…
