I come to the conclusion that 7z decompression is only possible in OSX. LZMA is a open source algorithm so its not impossible to write a archiver even for system 6-9.

I had an instructor bring me a Powerbook G4 that won't power up. I tried resetting the PMU and taking the battery out, as well as re-seating the RAM. The charger light in the back…

Can I put a NuBus processor upgrade in my Dock II for use with my 2300c? Is that even possible?

Unarchiver doesn't support all the features of 7zips anyway, like passworded archives. Better than having to use command line 7z for everything, though.

Ah, my bad. There doesnt seem to be one. if the unix version doesnt need too man libraried you /might/ be able to make a sioux version. //wthww

Uh, What? Has no one here heard of the unarchiver? http://wakaba.c3.cx/s/apps/unarchiver.html //wthww Click to expand... Ah true...I had forgotten about that one. But I th…

It's open-source, so it could theoretically be gotten to build somehow on a classic Mac. Your best bet is probably to decompress on a modern Mac or PC and then transfer the decomp…

7zip = the devil's compression format of choice. I downloaded some file in 7zip a month or few ago, not knowing what it was, then was annoyed when I discovered I had no program on…

AFAIK, the 7-zip format (.7z) was only made available when the 7-Zip program in Windows was introduced. I doubt that there's anything available that supports that compression form…

Is there a 7-zip supporting compressor or decompressor for the classic OS available or needs it to be written first? I found p7zip and stuffit for OS X only. For interested peopl…

They're quiet? Quieter then a Gigabit G4? Click to expand... Don't know the Gigabit. But at least on the Sawtooth there's a fan you can disconnect with no trouble unless you ad…

No. Just unsuitable for the model. All three Beige G3 machines were specified for 384MB total (max.) of RAM with then-current technology, and the desktop version had also a heigh…

What revision ROM? I think the early Beige G3's didn't support secondary drives at all, also B&W rev 1 had corruption issues on secondary drives. Click to expand... yep…

Internal ATA 0: CD-ROM + CD-RW problem is that both CD Drives do not work together. If CD-RW is set to MASTER, CD-ROM is SLAVE, only CD-RW is working. If both are CABLE SELECT onl…

I have just landed one with hard drive controller issues, downgraded and the b/w is back to normal! Lovely how the legacy keyboard gets used plus a working narrow scsi in 10.4.11! …

Backup with CCC. Erase and reformat disk, with OS 9 drivers. Restore from backup.

Great, thanks. So, suppose I have one of those sets of three different cables attached together? So it's red, yellow, and white on both ends, and they're separate cables, just glu…

If you have a cable that has one connector on one end, and three on the other; then it's the wrong cable. The cable you want is properly titled an "RCA connector to RCA connector"…

What do you meam by 'add OS 9 permissions'? If you mean 'to install OS 9 HDD drivers where none was before, and after OS X has been installed on a drive', the answer is indeed, 'N…

Nope, sorry. It really stinks.

is there any way add os 9 permissions after os x is already installed? or can i add a partition after the drive is formatted?

A mod should move this to the Apple II forum?...
