My Pismo had it's stock 20GB Toshiba until about 6 months ago when it decided to not spin at all. Still, thats long for a laptop drive without the sudden motion sensor if you ask m…

Those Toshiba drives are lemons. I had the same 30GB in an iBook G4 (mid-2005); it lasted only two years. The guy who sold me a new one acted as if the drives had a fairly high fai…

I fired up Console and it says my video card is too old. Never have I had it say that Click to expand... try booting in verbose mode and you may see that message again. It isn…

None of those things worked, I tried them, and the Pram thing isn't an issue because the pram batter is gone and the factory battery that powers the thing is removed. I managed to …

I'll take it if you don't want it.

Christopher, What I would do is first is reset the P-RAM (Command + Option + P + R). Hold those 4 buttons down on the keyboard, until you hear the startup chime about 3 times. I…

I do know AppleWorks does pay attention to that switch. You could conceivably use the switch for other things, as it just flags a certain address in memory. I doesn't actually do a…

It's not my recording, but discovering and listening to the online clip the other day finally inspired me (after some 12 years as a Newton user!) to install the macintal.pkg, talkt…

I've got speech enabled on mine too. Its kinda fun to have it read stuff. It will also speak the temperature.

here ... and it's not a bad speech, either.

Sure, go ahead.

Anyone have this archived anywhere? I have an original of this, on 3.5" floppy. If anyone wants it, I can upload it. I also have a bunch of of other stuff from Quality Computers he…

With the last update of its Spark audio wave editor before the company abandoned software for dedicated audio hardware development, tc|werke indicated that no higher system than OS…

Thanks for the reply, beachycove. I'm glad the problem is being tackled by people who know what they're doing. I, too, will wait until the last possible moment to install the patch…

A different solution appears to be under development. There is a reasonably active open source development community around the Newton OS, so hopefully this nut will soon be cracke…

I found myself eying a boat load of Newton accessories when I remember the 2010 problem. I've read about it but I haven't figured out if there is a definite fix for it. Is there? I…

my tempo card shows up as a scsi device that is normal i have never ran it or anything on 10.1 sorry

I haven't seen that file on machut or my local mirrors of quite a bunch of macintosh web/ftp sites. Does it exist?

Any sign of MacTerminal 2, eg the one that uses the Communications Toolbox?

Pretty sweet, Wacky ! I've added MacHut to the list of **Free "System 6" SoftWare** :b&w:

The first mirror of Mac Hut is now online: http://machut.uberhost.dyndns.org/ Use it if the official site happens to be down, or is really slow.

The service life of hard drives, like many things, is dependent on how they're used. Particular to a notebook drive, duty cycle is one item of concern. These drives are not design…

No, its working fine under 10.2 so I'd just as soon leave it alone without some actual notion that it will work under 10.1 Really I'm just looking to see if anybody else has run i…

Did you happen to try and just reinstall the cards firmware?
