It's open-source, so it could theoretically be gotten to build somehow on a classic Mac. Your best bet is probably to decompress on a modern Mac or PC and then transfer the decomp…

7zip = the devil's compression format of choice. I downloaded some file in 7zip a month or few ago, not knowing what it was, then was annoyed when I discovered I had no program on…

AFAIK, the 7-zip format (.7z) was only made available when the 7-Zip program in Windows was introduced. I doubt that there's anything available that supports that compression form…

Is there a 7-zip supporting compressor or decompressor for the classic OS available or needs it to be written first? I found p7zip and stuffit for OS X only. For interested peopl…

My two cents on this machine... I get a feeling John Sculley wanted to transition Apple into a one-computer company from the day he took over. When Jobs was ousted there were thre…

Apple did come out with the Apple III and that was not II compatible, the Mac was not realy compatible with the Lisa either (nor the II line). Click to expand... Not that is ma…

The Mark Twain was a last hurrah from the Apple II division to keep the II competitive. Apple stayed with Steve Jobs vision and saw the future in the Mac and didn't care about the …

The Apple II line could have kept going for a while if Apple wanted to support the IIgs at all. Apple did come out with the Apple III and that was not II compatible, the Mac was n…

Except that the Twain came long after the 128k. It is also quite possible that Apple wasn't in the least bit worried about the Twain competing with the Mac. The original IIgs mod…

try booting with only one three point five inch drive connected.

I have a feeling that if it was finished, the specs might have been on par with or even possibly exceeded the specs of the 128K. That could explain why it was canned.

Yea, a HD (even SCSI) makes GS/OS much nicer to run. I have a transwarp GS in one of my IIgs and that speeds things up quite a bit (that machine has the REV C SCSI card and an 8MB …

Was the Mark Twain canned because it might compete with the Mac? I imagine that with an 2 megs of RAM, an 8Mhz processor and a built-in HDD it might actually run GS/OS tolerably...…

Well, that site has been around for more than a decade. Back then the pictures were quite good.

Thanks. Its a shame there aren't better quality pictures available.

http://www.apple2.org should have info on the machine, as well as a few snapshots of the Twain on vacation.

Does anyone have any photos or other information about this machine? I know they never went beyond the prototype stage but it would be fun to see more pictures or information about…

Backup with CCC. Erase and reformat disk, with OS 9 drivers. Restore from backup.

What do you meam by 'add OS 9 permissions'? If you mean 'to install OS 9 HDD drivers where none was before, and after OS X has been installed on a drive', the answer is indeed, 'N…

Nope, sorry. It really stinks.

is there any way add os 9 permissions after os x is already installed? or can i add a partition after the drive is formatted?

Something to try from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22360?viewlocale=en_US Click to expand... Wow! I'd never seen that screen saver before! The box must have been locking …
