I haven't tried installing any Linux on any Intel-based Mac just yet, but from what I've heard Ubuntu does use elilo as the boot loader on the Intel Macs. The only issues I've hea…

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…

Maybe I'll put classilla.org on it. |) Click to expand... That would be really cool. :b&w:

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 think you should put the SE/30 up on the web and host a webpage. Click to expand... I am actually considering that very thing. I do have some space on the rack and some unall…

I bought a huge lot of old Macs from the non-profit recycler a few years ago. Most of the Macs were all from the same company and none of the hard drives were wiped. I pretty much …

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!

Cool!

Today's pick up, besides a Apple "floppy" HD I have to test out more thoroughly, was this! http://www.floodgap.com/iv/618 Your eyes do not deceive you: it is an SE/30 with WebSta…

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?

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…
