Recently I (foolishly?) agreed to take a dual 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 Tower (OS 9-bootable, not FW800) off a coworkers' hands for $50. (I'm not sure why. I think I had this vague idea that…

Whee! My 2-3X Panasonic DVD-RAM discs (4.7 GB, no cartridge,) work just fine in OS X Tiger. Disk Utility formats them no problem. Disc is recognized in 8.6, but won't format, no…

No sweat. I really appreciate this. As for versions, I think System 4.1 was the last version to support the 512k M0001, am I right? Whatever is supported will be cool. Thanks aga…

Nice. I got your email.

Two PM's and no response. tomlee actually is close to where I work. Click to expand... Sorry -- I've been swamped, and will be until the middle of Feb. If I don't get back to y…

No misunderstanding with me. However some people bristle at the idea of paying for these things when most of us are willing to donate what is essentially a very inexpensive item fo…

My experience is that digital boards rarely fail, and a classic Mac that doesn't boot nearly always has analog problems. Click to expand... All of the dead 128k digital boards …

It needs to have the DVD Extension and Disc Authoring though. Click to expand... Are you sure? ISTR reading that once the disk is formatted (HFS or HFS+) it can be mounted rea…

I hope I'm not causing a misunderstanding. I did ask where to buy classic system disks. I just had two offers to pick up some disks. Make no mistake, I'm happy to pay for these.

I have one of the early "unbitten" bags, too. There must have been a run of at least a couple hundred, because my Apple][ is a late '77 rev. 2 motherboard with color killer and 6-c…

There are notes on the digital schematic of which parts are not present on the 128K board. The two boards are alike except the RAM array on the 512 obviously has 256K chips instead…

And that's why I posted links to Rescue My Classic Mac. Were all pretty busy and/or aren't prepared to burn a disk at any given time. Charity only seems to go as far as convenience…

Hi everyone, I'm new to these forums but have been a collector for awhile (roughly mid 1994), and have been following these posts for several years, and I have have to say they hav…

Ladles and Jellyspoons! It is with great pleasure that this evening at 12.30 midnight UTC i am able to offer you a once in a lifetime opportunity. An opportunity that you will, …

I can send you a set of disks, but they will contain the files directly off of Apple's Old Software List. They will be Disk Image files and the first file is saved in both Binary …

hello macpeepls- my copy of system 7.5.3 on floppy disk has been rendered unreadable by baby drool. So, i was wondering if anyone would be willing to send along a copy of 7.5.3 s…

Still no System Disks. Anyone? Click to expand... tomlee59 offered to meet you halfway (sort of,) or mail you one if you send him a self-addressed stamped envelope. PM him.

Still no System Disks. Anyone?

IIRC, I got to 7.1.3 by installing 7.1 and then running the updater for the .3. I probably still have it on my archive volume. Click to expand... That update didn't happen to b…

Can't testify to iCab working, nothing 68k and internet connected to test with. Have you tried IE 4.01? Netscape may be the best choice in this case. There's a listing of existing …

There was no system 7.1.3 ever, that is only Finder version, like there is 7.1.4 too. System and Finder never shared the same release number except from 7.0 to 7.1 See here: http:/…

Not sure, I haven't really used the DVD-RAM cartridge I have in an old mac. I should try it. I have an external enclosure and that PowerBook 3400c and see what it does. What OS a…

Is is SCSI? Mine is (50-pin) Click to expand... Nice. So, IIRC, you can mount that on any old SCSI Mac and it appears as a hard drive?

Awesome. I feel like I'm connecting with long lost brothers or something. I get asked at least 3 or 4 times a month similar stuff about why on earth do I collect or tweak, or bu…
