Does Contiki act much differently on the 16-bit GS than the older 8-bit Apples?

I recently conquered a beige G3 desktop from university. It's stock + RAM. Unfortunately, I can't get it to boot. Booting from the HD which has OS9 or an OS9 CD bombs after loadin…

If anyone (luddite?) can point at some good resources for installing Contiki on an Apple II, that would be much appreciated. I've googled and poked around the home page but haven'…

Just got a 3400c but haven't dug into one for awhile and haven't opened this one up yet - need a power adapter to test it out before I go taking it apart. Is there a way to tighte…

I have an old edition, (2nd, I think) It's from 1994 and covers the very first Power Macs, so that's where I read it.

YEAH! I think I read that in Mac Secrets or something. I have 2 of the 5th edition of that book. It is a GREAT book. It even lists each Mac model. You can get the PDF of that …

This is more trivia now, but it used to be in the old days of System, and I think this is System 6 and before, you could really mess up a Mac by creating a file named .Sony.

Hah, I remember that about the .Sony driver now. Cool. Certainly doesn't ever hurt to rebuild the desktop Bunsen, might as well try it and automatically fix a few other problems …

Is there some specific reason behind that suggestion, Bunsen? / to rebuild the desktop Click to expand... It rang a vague bell with something I've encountered before.

It's driver is on the hard disk. It's .Sony

There is no extension for the floppy drive. Its driver is built-into the ROM of the Mac, and may also be inside the system file somewhere. The CD-ROM has an extension. Neither l…

Honestly, the best way to use IIe software without a IIe (and the only one I know of that is guaranteed to be 100% legal) is the Apple IIe card for an LC I'm not sure how/if the I…

i have ran into these issues before, sometimes the driver extension can get messed up, sometimes it can be the eject system getting gummed up, or a bad cable connection. i think i…

I had been planning on putting a fresh copy of an OS on there, and I ended up putting 8.5 on my G3. Ejecting floppies doesn't appear to be a problem any more. I really wonder if …

I would never have thought of that. Is there some specific reason behind that suggestion, Bunsen? Are you suggesting to rebuild the desktop on the HD or the floppy, or both?

Try rebuilding your desktop.

I would first just remove the drive and clean all the dust out of it. Then insert a disk into the bare drive and manually eject it a few times to try to observe any problems. Cou…

I've been tinkering with my beige G3 running 9.2.2 as of late and discovered it is having some issues with its floppy drive. Specifically, whenever I eject a floppy, it spits it o…

Hi, I've not really been playing with my old Apple II stuff, but am going to try and spend a bit more time on it. I was just wondering what the view was on the best IIe emulator o…

"Billy Mays, here!" I'm thinking that the IDE controller doesn't know how to do slave devices so the second card will be MIA. But it would be an interesting exercise at least. Pe…
