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…

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…
THX: to H3NRY & JDW! :approve:

Yes thanks! But it would still be interesting to find a way to open them directly under OS X. I found a shareware a…
HENRY, bless you for making this available!
I created a PDF. I started by copying the files from my OS 10.6 iMac to my OS 9 G4 Cube. I then used FileBuddy to add back the file t…
What I really just want to do is "play" a Mac as a software synthesizer. The older, the better, as I'd think the "lower quality" synths would be more unique. I can go as old as an …

I'll have a go at converting it with my sign software, CAD packages and my illustration apps, have you tried to open/import it into AI, FreeHand or CorelDraw? Those are all good be…

I thought of posting PDF versions, but I figured you'd rather have the original. Odd that Apple didn't carry the "MacDraw pict" format into AppleWorks like they did "MacPaint pict"…
I don't know of a direct OS X translator, but they can be easily opened in Mini vMac using Mac Draw, then print to a postscript file using the LaserWriter driver v7.0, which Previe…
Arnold's is just a file player though, right? If you want to sequence (write/arrange) your own songs, you need a fullblown sequencer. There's a shareware one called Timidity whic…
If you're thinking about getting a new controller ~and~ a sound module, consider a Yamaha CS1X or AN1X. Both have a good rep as reliable, versatile controllers as well as a good r…
I have used my Mac Midiman interface (which looks similar to that one) with my PowerBook Duo (7.5.3) to play MIDI files on my synthesizer.

I also have the Ma…
Any suggestions for MIDI software for older macs? Synthesizers, etc.? That would certainly be a unique instrument to play... :?:

I posted MacDraw schematics from reverse engineering my Mac back in 1984. You'll need MacDraw to open them. Anybody know of an OS X app that can open or translate MacDraw docs?

There is one particular midi/audio sequencer that Emagic and Roland developed to edit the Roland VS series of hard disk recorder. / The Emagic programme Logic could be used to cont…
