It's certainly under consideration... I just forgot about it in my last post [] ]'>

I think we should have a General Vintage Mac forum, for all of the un-catogorizable, but on-topic, threads. We could use it for the threads such as the Lets Play A Game... thread, …

Thanks for your feedback one and all. It's reassuring to know that so many of you care about this community, even if you don't all share the same views on it's place/purpose. Firs…

Until but a minute-or-two ago I had read none of the preceding discussion but ~tl's original kindling. Temetka's post (notably, but not solely) came close to enunciating the aching…

I thought that we didn't have rules on what a conquest is & I thought it's best this way.... If we are a 68k liberation army then any 68k machine that we liberate... I ju…

tape over the hole without the sliding bit of plastic and repeatedly reinitialize until golden brown. Click to expand... Ehh Really in terms of color?! or is this just a metaph…

It's a customized 6.0.8 bootdisk I made. The 6.0.8 folder on that disk is from 6.0.8 Disk 1. I will try other disks though. Thanks!

I just realized there is another theme! Its kinda nice!

OK, I'll downgrade My IIcis fDD rarely formats my FD's correctly. It just says "Initialization failed" or "Initialaziton Failed because the disk is defective." HopeFully System 6…

sys7 wont work. it has a differant format window you might have to try a bunch of disks fefore it works.

6.0.8 works. i'll check sys 7

i forget if it will work with system 6 or not. i'll check.

Would 7.5.1 work or not. Probably not. I'll have to downgrade my IIci to 6.0.4 that came with it.

iirc, for a 400k floppy (not as reliable as with an 800k.400k one) take a 1.4 meg floppy and tape over the hole without the slidey thing in it. stick it into an old mac (iirc, sy…

OK I got it and unboxed it. Works great. It has a REALLY nice CRT. Bright and everything. The light in the FDD is on and is red ooohh. No boot floppy for it yet. It is in very …

Mac128 is correct. Although HD and DD media have similar characteristics, they are not "the same media" that have simply been put through more stringent quality checks. There is in…

So it's either that the two read/write heads in the Plus's drive are misaligned, and so only the lower one works when it's alone (hence the 400ks being read but not the 800ks)...or…

Comrades, please read each others posts carefully, take all viewpoints into serious consideration before making a reply. But most of all, be mindful of the fact that we must keep t…

I peeked at the .TXT in your post, ~tl , but I'm still not clear on the "thumbnailing" process. Does it happen automagically when an image is beyond a certain size limit (as it app…

An "eleventy" conquest happened to me at least once: when I volunteered at a recycling drive and was able to literally intercept a very nice SE before it got put into the "truck of…

it only resizes it if you are using the crappy ProSilver theme.

Does it happen automagically when an image is beyond a certain size limit (as it appears to have been done in your post) \ Click to expand... Yes, it is done automatically as t…

HD disks are made the same as DD, they just pass a higher quality standard. Click to expand... What exactly is your source for that? The coatings on an 800K disk are thicker an…

This is turning into a flame war. Click to expand... ALMOST, but not quite as yet, IMHO. There is bound to be a certain amount of acrimony expressed on such a subject. That s…
