I'm not too confident that it would help fix the problem, but its certainly worth a try, the only downside is that you'll lose all your PRAM settings (sound volume, alert sound, da…

Before i go spending retirement money we don't have ( the wifey is already furious about this project on an old machine as she sezs ) do you guys think that perhaps resetting the …

the old ones are pretty easy to develop for, so instead of killing people all day you could make math blaster for intellivision or maybe a telnet client on a atari 2600

games system wise - what would people be doing with them? playing space invaders for a month instead of call of duty?

I would say anything pre 3d

I dunno- I think that's pushing it. Pre-Pentium sounds about right to me. As for game systems, make the cutoff be by bit count on the main processor. 8 bit, say. That would keep th…

another interesting open application http://www.versiontracker.com/dyn/moreinfo/macos/13986 that i had to use in my QS G4 when signed into OS 9 because i could not figure out how t…

stay tuned for more details

Christmas came sort of early for me this year, well last year now. I gots my hands on a 17 inch iMac (G4/800), a snow iBook (G3/800), and a Bondi iMac (G3/233). The Bondi's drive…

Thanks. Just a fast question : do i have to install OS 9 first and then add OS 9.1 ? Or Can I just trash the 9.1 that's installed now and then just run the OS 9.1 installer ? O…

OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 aren't supported on pre-G3 systems, you need OS 9 Helper to use those versions. Out of curiousity, are you sure that the card is even any good? Have you tested i…

I appear to have the "official" OS 9 and 9.1 installers. I've done the install and re-installs so many times that at this point of trying to get that Belkin card going i'll do a b…

What is the version of your Mac OS 9 CD? If you have a Mac OS 9.1 retail CD, you can install that straight away, without any trouble. If you have 9.0.0 or 9.0.4, you have to insta…

M6498 I suspect it may have been opened up before, an upgrade prior to delivery to the original owner? As it has 512 Megs of RAM, 256/256. Course I want to take it to the maximu…

It was a different seller. Did anyone bid on the boxed Excel 2.2 that ended today?

The takeapart is really not too bad. You're right about the PSU in them though, they can be a little meagre. Which model of iMac do you have?

Macguy, I am going to send you the files via email tomorrow. One thing to note, though. You may want to try a "clean installation" of Mac OS 9.1, if you can. This has worked fo…

I wondered where that MacDraw auction had gone... You didn't buy from seller jmorand did you?

You are so lucky I didn't see that auction. I would have bid $25 on it.

A good piece of software if you're running on a modern Mac is Reason. Has enough features to create tracks without any MIDI input, but if you're wanting to do serious keyboard sess…

I just won two separate Claris auctions on eBay. One had MacDraw II but also looked to have some sort of Claris clip art collection bundled with it. The other was MacWrite II. Both…

Hey that's pretty cool. I tried doing something like that with my Mac Classic II, I got the internet set up with it fine, but I couldn't find a stable browser for Mac OS 7.5.5 .…
