That "copy" of Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1.3 is likely an updater for 1.1 or 1.1.1, not a full version. Apple Personal Diagnostics was sold as commercial software, your best bet…

That's strange. I never noticed that the apple was "upside-down" when you carry the bag by its handles.

My original post was a bit confusing because of the talk of two machines. It is possible that the charge board is flaky, but the board (and entire machine) in question is the same …

Wow! That is an awesome find, thanks for sharing the photos with us!

I check batteries on 2 known working machines just to make sure the charging board in the one I first used isn't dead.

A Wallstreet battery that was bought new from China about 2 years ago, that worked only for a few months, and that had been boxed awaiting recycling, last night sprang to life on b…

I have found on Apple's site Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1.3 but it requires Apple Personal Diagnostics 1.1 or 1.1.1 Anyone know where I can obtain a copy of the Apple Personal D…

System Update 3.0 does not change the version number of FInder or System. From my experience I got it installed on my Colour Classic, the FInder and System are still version 7.1

Got it working—I connected the iMac with target disk mode to my G4 tower, booted the tower into 9.1 copied over the system folder from the tower, then ran the 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 updat…

Thanks for trying this out on your SE/30. What about when you get info on the System Suitcase? It looks like we got some conflicting data and the mothership does not acknowledge …

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:…

I'm assuming that 7.1.2 and 7.1.3 include all of the elements in 7.1.1 Pro. Click to expand... No, it doesn't! Pro is a very specific sub-version. Pro comes with the main 7.1…

Can you fire it up and see if it allows you to do a custom install for prior hardware such as the IIci? Click to expand... When I get home today, I'll try it out on an SE/30, s…
