None of those things worked, I tried them, and the Pram thing isn't an issue because the pram batter is gone and the factory battery that powers the thing is removed. I managed to …
Christopher,
What I would do is first is reset the P-RAM (Command + Option + P + R). Hold those 4 buttons down on the keyboard, until you hear the startup chime about 3 times.
I…
I do know AppleWorks does pay attention to that switch. You could conceivably use the switch for other things, as it just flags a certain address in memory. I doesn't actually do a…
It's not my recording, but discovering and listening to the online clip the other day finally inspired me (after some 12 years as a Newton user!) to install the macintal.pkg, talkt…

Anyone have this archived anywhere? I have an original of this, on 3.5" floppy. If anyone wants it, I can upload it. I also have a bunch of of other stuff from Quality Computers he…

With the last update of its Spark audio wave editor before the company abandoned software for dedicated audio hardware development, tc|werke indicated that no higher system than OS…
Thanks for the reply, beachycove. I'm glad the problem is being tackled by people who know what they're doing. I, too, will wait until the last possible moment to install the patch…

No, its working fine under 10.2 so I'd just as soon leave it alone without some actual notion that it will work under 10.1
Really I'm just looking to see if anybody else has run i…
So I have a copy of 10.1 Unlimited Client Server and I thought it would be a hoot to install it on my Yosemite as it is very quiet, sucks up a max of 200w and has a monitor power p…
My friends 1.07GHz iBook had a weird issue last week with its stock drive.
After the grey loading screen, it would just sit at the blue screen and you can hear the hard drive tryi…

Last night I picked up my old iBook I sold to my old room mate over a year ago. The HD has died, again. Both models were the Toshiba MK3021GAS 30 GB notebook hard drive. First t…
Like there isn't enough of those, however this is different. I just installed Panther onto it and all was well. My mom uses it today and all is well, she shuts it down and then she…
