Last question for now (maybe ) To back up something like ramdoubler do i just got to take the 80kb file in the extentions folder, or is there more of it hiding somewhere?

As far as installing System 7.1 goes, its just like any other Mac, however be aware that you'll need to ensure that if you're running the installer from System 7.1, that the boot d…

1. In my experience, if you have to use it RAM Doubler is certainly a lot better than Apple Virtual Memory, but at the end of the day, there's no substitute for real RAM. 2. As fa…

As assumed earlier up, it has Ramdoubler. Is it any good, should i hold onto it when i reinstall? Its running 7.6 now and feels pretty good, but i might try 7.1 first, because i fo…

But your question is about formating because it is not that the 6100 has a HD size ceiling, but that either the drive you are using, or the software you are trying to format it wit…

the warehouse i buy old apple computer gear from sells everything w/o hds (although the imac g3 and emac I bought had HDDs I assumed that was because they are just a bitch to get o…

Gorgonops, I think you have unearthed the most useful information. (And excellent research!) Funny though, that he didn't talk about sensitive information - of course I would have …

and I suggest you do some practicing, weather its taking apart some old electro junk or going down to radio shack and buying some random caps and a perf board, soldering and desold…

"go to places like Japan or Nigeria" Click to expand... Yes, I've noticed that the Wall St Journal always puts Japan and Nigeria in the same bracket. Perhaps the bloke should h…

What would be a method to figure out whether it was the recycling company or apple who made the decision? As the guy obviously hadn't cataloged the donated computers yet (all of t…

The issue here is not apple. It was most likely a lie. And that is going to just end up in china and be burned. Its the recyclers wanting MONEY per pound of "Junk".

Archived version of the same page Works fine for me.

I doubt Steve gives a crap about 20 year old computers (that were built when he wasn't even at Apple at the time).

Gentlemen, it seems this war has another enemy. Apple. They are making our mission harder. I think we should campaign. Email Sjobs@apple.com and DEMAND that the old macs be saved a…

FWB is the still not so free formating utility, right? To use this a few times a year, I'm not sure it is worth it! I used Lido for a while and it has been working fine. I heard a…

I'm on installing OS 8 on this machine. The HD utility in OS 8 does not recognize the HD as an Apple drive, so I used Lido again. Strangely Lido detects the drive as 78 gig, while …

There could be a less-sinister explanation: Some recyclers were actually just shipping off old computers to poorer countries, and it was an environmental nightmare. And it sounds l…

Have thick gloves handy in case the dents have damaged safety devices and the battery gets hot and you want to remove it. See Table 8.0.1 in http://www.duracell.com/OEM/Pdf/others…

For every recycling company that might have a contract with Apple, I'm sure that 10 others don't. I only purchase regularly from one recycler, but I could probably get stuff from …
