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

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…

Get off all your important data now, and chuck it. You can map out bad sectors but more will come, and within a short time everything will be inaccessible. JB

my cube died and on a surface scan tech tools found bad sectors. can I fix it or new drive time?

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…

If calibration doesn't do it, then I'd say the battery's dead. I saw that wit my first gen "BlackBook": one day 85% of full charge capacity, and the next day it shuts off without w…

That was the same case with my iBook. Calibrating did nothing.

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…

This thread gives details of the cells needed to replace your backup battery. They are common and cheap, I found that the soldering was not especially difficult, and the replacemen…
