" There are rumors that 10.2.9 will be released in mid-2009 to address several bugs and vulnerabilities that remain in version 10.2.8." http://lowendmac.com/osx/jaguar-10.2/index.…

Panther is faster than Jaguar. On an iMac G3 700 MHz, I would recommend upgrading. This upgrade would unlock the ability to use more recent browsers, such as the latest Camino.

I installed that and opened a .MID file that I had made on another computer and I didn't get any signal coming out of the machine into the MIDI unit I have. I don't understand what…

If you're using photoshop make sure to get the G5 plugin from adobe.

Just out of curiosity, what are you mainly using it for? I've just won a 2.0 GHz dual G5 on eBay that will replace my 700MHz eMac for graphics (and a bit of audio/video)... I'm ant…

Very cool. We are still using our dual 1.8 as our main desktop. Birth of our first child (and desire to use iPhoto) prompted the purchase. Still does pretty much everything …

Aaaannndd.. It's up to 4.5GB

Here's the download for MIDIgraphy from Harmony Central: http://www.harmony-central.com/Software/Mac/midigraphy.html

Update: Installed a lean version of 7.5.3, now to replace those leaky gross caps on the logic board. Bleh.

What is that supposed to mean? Are there others making a 10.2.8 compatible browser with up to date features? (Oh Mr. Porter is the best Will Hay film EVAH!)

There's a shareware sequencer called MIDIgraphy that IIRC will run on System 7. Searching these forums for MIDI will reveal other clues.

It makes me wonder why, if Opera can turn out an up to date browser that does not require Tiger, why can't anyone else? Click to expand... Because they do.... Code: MAC…

I can second what Gil and LCGuy have written. The plastic HDD sled used by Apple for IDE (as they were, so long ago) was/is different in detail from that for SCSI HDDs. It has a …

So after my G4 lost it's ethernet port after a recent lightening storm, I was left with my 5 year old Windows laptop for internet use, but it bit the dust after overheating so I am…

What I do is use a flathead screwdriver on the tab, and use it to get some leverage. Even then, it takes a LOT of force, and you can end up breaking the tab. :-/

Well, I got the new RAM, but the upgrade will be on hold for a bit. I can't find the original stick >.< Damn Apple and their stupid Interleaving thing! Yes, I know …

I've had the HDD out of my 5260 (which uses the same shell) a couple of times..I can back up what Gil said...you have to REALLY haul on the HDD to get it out...be gentle, don't bre…

But you have no legitimate need for over 4GB...

Ok I finally used what little knowledge of UNIX I have to figure out what I was doing wrong and make a proper boot disk. Thanks to JRL for helping me get my computer to boot up ag…

I mean I did exactly what the procedure in the link I posted above told me to do. It seemed to work fine, no error messages were displayed. What am I doing wrong?

What machine are you installing 7.1 on, and do you have another old Mac to verify the network disk you made? Pretty much any Mac that came with a floppy drive will boot from the 7.…

So I had to just turn the machine off before the install finished and now when I boot up I get the old "The 'System' file on this startup disk may be damaged. The Installer can be …

An alternative to 7.1.1 is 7.5.3 (freely available from Apple; no need to download an unauthorized OS release of dodgy ancestry). If the size bothers you, just use Gamba's "digital…

Nope, just push up on the tab and pull out. It's possible that the hard drive was never touched, and after 10 years, it might take some force to get it out. Click to expand... …
