That's cool, but they don't have an m68k version. They don't even have a pre-OS X version that I can see...
How far ba…
OK, well its in my possession now, looking pretty next to my 512k. Can I use this iMac as a monitor for my 68k/older ppcs? I think I can as it has the DB-15 port for video.

9500 startup problems... Now that isn't a surprise.
1. Check the PRAM battery voltage. While it's out, unplug the mains power cable, leave the Mac to rest for 20 minutes, and then…
Now that I think about, and especially since beachycove said it, it DOES sound like SCSI issues. I recall having the exact same issue...and changing SCSI settings around, fixed it.

If it counts, I have an iMac G5, and the last time I bought a real mac was back in 2005. Old iBook G4 that I destroyed, I have never purchased one of my more recent macs.
Dual 1.8 GHz Power Mac G5 purchased new - August 2004. Still running strong 5 years later as my daily Mac.
I don't anticipate needing to upgrade until the release of Mac OS 10.7 -…

The way I read it you wanted the 128k to do SLIP or PPP. Both can be done, but you have to basically duplicate the functionality of MacTCP in a small memory space.

3. Have you tried booting from a floppy or from a CD?

Yes. I put both a floppy and a CD ROM in, and it didn't acknowledge either one of them. This was when i…
To do any expanding of the funcationalilty of the 128k like you describe you are going to have to do real programming ( Pascal, C or assembler ).

Just bought a dual G5 to replace a 700MHz eMac, so obviously I'm far from the bleeding edge... I don't see myself needing to upgrade in the next 3-5 years (unless I get filthy rich…

For many non-UNIX users on this forum, these kinds of projects usually die a quick death since it involves some advanced configuration of tools which are not familiar to most Mac u…
For me, it's about expanding the functionality of a 128K (and bragging rights)......it's a fun idea that's beyond my skill set.

Here's a vt100 terminal emulator that supposedly runs on a 128k Mac.

Just use a terminal emulator!

Seconded.

and are you going to move to Macpro..?
do you see benefits of ditching your machine in favor of a macpro (besides speed)...?
How often do you buy Mac's?

A handful of observations:
1. A 9500 is now old enough to have capacitor failure. Sorry, but it's just possible.
2. I acquired an 8600/300 a few years ago that exhibited the same…

Could you provide a source for your info, or a link to a photo of an official "MMi" drive? I ask this because someone from GCC told me …
It already had enough good RAM chips in it, since I was able to boot it to OS 7.6 a few months ago. I assume that the CUDA reset is that small button on the motherboard? I pressed …
It probably wasn't a great idea but I don't think it would have done any permanent damage. Have you tried putting in one good (compatible) RAM chip and resetting PRAM and perhaps C…
