There's an Eject application and Control Strip module that Apple included with OS 9. I don't know if it works on any older systems. I'm on my laptop right now, but I'll try to up…

No, that's not not 30 old MacBooks — 30 old Mac books. Though finding 30 old MacBooks would, of course, be a most welcome event in life (should anyone "out there" be so minded as …

Unless you've got a lot of extensions and control panels installed, I'd say your problem is that you have 32 bit addressing turned off. With 32 bit addressing turned off, the syste…

I'm unsure if simply Zipping a file will work. If you download MacZip for your old Mac, you could try just zipping a file on your MacBook and see if it transfers OK. Click to e…

You need to turn on 32-bit addressing in the Memory Control Panel of that IIci in order to take advantage of your 20MB of RAM. Back in days of yore, of course, that was a LOT of RA…

Back before I really knew what MIDI was, I was running a really old keyboard on a 486. It was this product: http://www.oldsoftware.com/MusicStar.html Years later I dug up this thi…

The top DuoDisk also appears to be platinum... I've only ever seen beige. Click to expand... I used to have a platinum one with my IIgs back in the day.

Just out of curiosity, why are you removing the "Apple CPU enabler"?

I'm unsure if simply Zipping a file will work. If you download MacZip for your old Mac, you could try just zipping a file on your MacBook and see if it transfers OK.

Drop Stuff will binhex a file.

Don't forget to binhex or Mac binary your files before transferring, or you'll lose the Resource Fork. Click to expand... I got a FTP connection between MacBook and vintage Mac…

I use Fetch 3.0.3 on my LC and turn on FTP on my OS X Mac. Don't forget to binhex or Mac binary your files before transferring, or you'll lose the Resource Fork.

Hello all, I am going to try this again ... The retro challenge last spring is what originally brought me to this fourm, course then I had a bad plan with a palm VII, so I then sw…

Unfortunately, and somebody may swoop in to correct me on this, I think Mac OS 10.6 removes most of the old appletalk features. If you have a TCP/IP stack on the LC, your best bet…

Thanks. I forgot about those methods. Will try them today. Click to expand...

Hope this helps, by the way one other thing - the 6360 is a PCI based PowerPC system, therefore threads on it should go into the PCI Power Mac & Performa forum under PowerP…

The MP120 has a socketed ROM, meaning that you can pull it and replace it with the ROM from an English or French machine. There is, however, a further complication, in that when th…

If you need to open the tray on boot, just hold the mouse button down, and it should pop out. If you're on the desktop, switch to the Finder, and in the "Special" menu, there is a…

As far as I'm aware, the CD drive cannot be opened by software unless there's a disc in the drive. The CD buttons on these systems can get hard to open if there's no shim between t…

Thanks for the reply! I still haven't taken the time to get to know those babies… So excuse me if the question sounds dumb, but by "changing the ROMs" do you simply mean a firmwar…

Tom's hit the nail on the head... just remember to pop in an "official" entry via the web site.

The CD push to open button on my Performa6360 is not working all the time unless i find the sweet spot. Is there a software application to open that drawer ? How difficult is it …

Yes, I know. Only problem; I seem to have misplaced the CPU... *Grrrrrr* Same problem applies to the "SuperDrive"; the original optical drive have gone missing as well, and the re…

I believe that in previous years, this sort of set up has been acceptable. The main thing about the 'Challenge isn't the arbitrary rules, it's having some fun with old hardware tha…
