I thought about the title for a second, and realized you meant books. But I did get two old free MacBook that were broken mind you.

Yup, I fell for it. ) Great title though for getting users to check out your post. Very nice collection for those interested as well.

There's an Eject application and Control Strip module that Apple included with OS 9. I don't know if it works on any older systems. I'm on my laptop right now, but I'll try to up…

No, that's not not 30 old MacBooks — 30 old Mac books. Though finding 30 old MacBooks would, of course, be a most welcome event in life (should anyone "out there" be so minded as …

Unless you've got a lot of extensions and control panels installed, I'd say your problem is that you have 32 bit addressing turned off. With 32 bit addressing turned off, the syste…

You need to turn on 32-bit addressing in the Memory Control Panel of that IIci in order to take advantage of your 20MB of RAM. Back in days of yore, of course, that was a LOT of RA…

Back before I really knew what MIDI was, I was running a really old keyboard on a 486. It was this product: http://www.oldsoftware.com/MusicStar.html Years later I dug up this thi…

The top DuoDisk also appears to be platinum... I've only ever seen beige. Click to expand... I used to have a platinum one with my IIgs back in the day.

Just out of curiosity, why are you removing the "Apple CPU enabler"?

Hello all, I am going to try this again ... The retro challenge last spring is what originally brought me to this fourm, course then I had a bad plan with a palm VII, so I then sw…

Thanks. I forgot about those methods. Will try them today. Click to expand...

Hope this helps, by the way one other thing - the 6360 is a PCI based PowerPC system, therefore threads on it should go into the PCI Power Mac & Performa forum under PowerP…

The MP120 has a socketed ROM, meaning that you can pull it and replace it with the ROM from an English or French machine. There is, however, a further complication, in that when th…

If you need to open the tray on boot, just hold the mouse button down, and it should pop out. If you're on the desktop, switch to the Finder, and in the "Special" menu, there is a…

As far as I'm aware, the CD drive cannot be opened by software unless there's a disc in the drive. The CD buttons on these systems can get hard to open if there's no shim between t…

Thanks for the reply! I still haven't taken the time to get to know those babies… So excuse me if the question sounds dumb, but by "changing the ROMs" do you simply mean a firmwar…

The CD push to open button on my Performa6360 is not working all the time unless i find the sweet spot. Is there a software application to open that drawer ? How difficult is it …

Yes, I know. Only problem; I seem to have misplaced the CPU... *Grrrrrr* Same problem applies to the "SuperDrive"; the original optical drive have gone missing as well, and the re…

It would have been easier to follow Bunsen's advice. If you still have the original CPU, put that one back in the Cube, install OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 upgrade, then put the CPU upgrad…

I think I might have cracked my own problem; enabling me to install OS 9.2.2 without my original cube CPU, and without installing on another computer: 1. re-install Mac OS 10.4 (C…
