Welcome! What Macs do you currently have?

I've had a core solo Mini sitting around for a while, it's split between OS X & XP. I'd like to erase the OS X part and put Ubuntu on it instead. Is this possible? I've Goo…

I just wanted to stop in and introduce myself. I've been lurking in the background just reading the forums. I had registered before, but somehow got sidetracked and never got aroun…

I am trying to bring a Performa 200/M4150/Macintosh classic ii back to life. { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "Next", "lightbox_previous": "Previous", …

I'd give them a call, that website looks as dodgy as hell (the "about us" doesn't even work). Unless you can confirm the place actually exists and has items in stock, beware. JB

Looks like they don't overcharge for shipping either. I'm getting a $7.50 shipping quote by mail to Australia for a Lombard DC/Sound board. Nice find!

Congratulations. Worth every cent

$6 plus shipping! Click to expand... Don't know how you got it so cheap, but very nice I want it }

I picked this one up on eBay about a week ago. I was looking for a cheap G4, mainly so that I could install 10.4 onto my PowerBook G3 Lombard's hard disk, since I could not get the…

It is surely going to be as safe as any online store, and it's likely safer than going the eBay route, but as it's only a hard drive cable, how much do you stand to lose?

So... get thee an entry together. And load your super shotgun, you got some frags to rack up!

Thanks Phreakout! I tried booting the SE/30 from a floppy while holding down the shift key, but that didn't do the trick. While I'm waiting for your OS disks, is there any method …

Interesting. Huh. Just for kicks, try rebooting again, but this time hold down the Shift key. This will prevent any extensions or the like from loading. If this doesn't wor…

OK guys, excellent suggestions. I have some good news and some bad news. The Macintosh Classic I have now is indeed a Classic 1. Following Phreakout's instructions, I successfully…

No, the issue at hand is that you're not supposed to change that extension (even if it seems as small as image. to img. no matter what. phreakout's suggestion is very good (I forg…

Dita, did you say earlier you have a Mac Classic, recently acquired? If so, is it a Classic 1 or Classic 2? If it's a Classic 1, then try the following: Step 1: Restart the Cla…

That was a thought I had, but JLW's original instructions stated that PC floppies are fine, so I never changed the formatting.

I formatted the a floppy as a 1.44 MB FAT disk Click to expand... I don't believe you will be able to use a FAT formatted floppy as a boot disk. It must be formatted HFS.

Actually, got 3 copies of the manuals. Also was given a bunch o books on it, and just a ton of goodies! Click to expand... How fortunate for you. Make sure to read the manuals…

Thanks JRL. The only difference I encountered with those instructions is as follows: 1. Wen I de-compress the Network Access archive using StuffIt Expander (per your original inst…

You mean an Apple IIe? Either way, nice score...especially for the price! One thing about the Apple II series machines...if you don't have a monitor, you should be able to use …

I was doing that from memory, so I might have done something wrong. However, right now I have my copy open here, and you have to do the following: 1: Make sure you have a file cal…

Just got one yesterday for free! Drove 45 minutes to get it. I got 6 boxes of disks with it, a bunch of software, 2 drives, and all the manuals with it. Actually, got 3 copies o…

While I am awaiting Phreakout's OS disk set, I recently got my PC back up and running Windows XP. Since I can now read and write floppy disks, I checked out JLW's detailed post reg…
