I'm thinking of entering the Retrochallenge with a little project of my own: to not only get my LCIII (my very first computer) on the Internet for the first time, but also to use i…
It would have been easier to follow Bunsen's advice. If you still have the original CPU, put that one back in the Cube, install OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 upgrade, then put the CPU upgrad…

I think I might have cracked my own problem; enabling me to install OS 9.2.2 without my original cube CPU, and without installing on another computer:
1. re-install Mac OS 10.4 (C…

Except for the default sounds in OS/2 3.0 Warp. They are extremely naff and irritating.

If you still have the original CPU, swap that in, install, and swap back. You might want to get a legit full retail copy of 9.2.2. as well.
Is the optical drive known good? ie w…
Yeah, the only thing I can think of is to get a cheap G4 CPU online, like one that came out of a sawtooth or something. (I looked at pictures and they theoretically should work. bo…
Hi, I've got a Cube, upgraded with a PowerLogix 7448 1.7GHz CPU card.
Now, I'd *really* like to be able to install OS9 on this machine. But I can't seem to get the damn thing righ…
It's really not as old school as it could be, but I'm excited. It's an IBM Personal Computer 330. It was destined for the recycler at work and I'd ask if I could keep it (we have a…

Yeah, you can replace it with an ethernet card...the only other type of card ever made for the Comms Slot. Keep in mind, you'll need a CS2 card, rather than a CS1 card due to the s…

My Performa 6360 has a internet by phone port that i have never used since the day i bought this mac as a used unit about 5 years ago.
Can i remove it without too much labour and …
Mac128, I know I have a problem somewhere. Even when I connect to my G4 Cube (booted into OS 9) via my iMac i7 (using Go > Connect to server > afp://192.168.24.52) i…
booting my G4 directly into OS 9 and running MacDraw Pro from there. In that case, I was unable to generate a PDF from MacDraw Pro due to a crash.

JDW, thanks for your work. I usually make PDFs by printing to a file, which works on my 68K Macs without crashing. Then Preview makes PDFs after transferring to an OS X Mac. Sorry …
Mac128, yes I "assume" it will work as you describe when creating a PDF via Classic. I did not try that, instead booting my G4 directly into OS 9 and running MacDraw Pro from ther…
Ah ... 35 objects, eh? I suppose that's possible except, I opened one file which only displayed 3 objects, so not sure. There are conversion reports which revealed "No resource for…
Mac128, I just downloaded the EasyDraw Demo. I tried it on HENRY's original MacDraw formatted files and the MacDraw Pro formatted versions that I created. In both cases, I got th…

Yes thanks! But it would still be interesting to find a way to open them directly under OS X. I found a shareware a…
