The wifi card will work under OS X, and it is 802.11g - it's an OEM Orinoco, a generic version of Apple's Airport Card used in their laptops. I have also installed the wifi into a…

I use FreeDOS for my DOS software like GEM.

You're probably right. I have an 8.1 CD, but not one for plain old 8.

A beige G3 is 8.1 and above isn't it?

I downloaded PCSetup 1.6.4, then updated it to 2.1.7. I think the oldest MacOS that will run on the beastie is 8.

Could possibly be an OS issue (I think this card came out when OS 7.5.3 was current and HFS was normal). Did you go to Apples website and download the latest software for that setu…

It is currently set for 1023MB. Both drives are formatted as HFS Extended.

Check both drives for bad sectors. How big are you making those virtual drives?

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roug…

I run the mirror for machut. It's at home and uses 6mbit download and 40kB upload. It's used for other stuff too, so you can get pretty low speeds. However, a slow download is bet…

I wasn't really expecting that sound track, tbh. Neat photo montage, anyway. I don't think I'd bother with the WiFi hack; I actually have type III PC cards to use, and I'd rather …

Thanks, Luddite already hit me up. For all other confused folks, just borrow/steal a windoze machine and run the SHK over in Ciderpress, it's not too bad. Read the manual to find o…

For others: ProTERM can be downloaded from here: http://lostclassics.apple2.info/downloads/?dl_cat=10 For arfink: Tony Diaz promised to post disk images of ProTERM: http://groups.…

This Blog also seems to be providing a running commentary on progress being made on solving the 2010 problem. In fact, it's a great Newton site in general and well worth a visit if…

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…

Well, that confirms what I had suspected. :-/

The servers are purposely throttled, as these are run on home connections.

You has never been that. It's always bee Yaow.. Well, they did get better.

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…

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…

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.
