Hi! I have 64 MB(3x?) ram sticks for PM 8500 and processor upgrades 604-233 MHz and G4-400MHz

You'll need at least 32MB RAM for OS 9 to even start (even then it hugs virtual memory). Stalling at the same place every time at boot up = (in my experience) a dodgy CD or optica…

I have no idea. It originally shipped with *shudders* 16 MB of RAM, but I don't know if the previous owner upgraded it or not. I'd really prefer to run System 7 or OS 8 if possible…

I just scored 7 brand new Farallon PhoneNet adapters for 50 cents each. If I can manage to scrounge up a couple more vintage Macs, I'm gonna host a LAN party with some friends and…

To be fair, my Performa 6100/66 works fairly well for web browsing. I can even use gmail from it, using netscape 4. And it's only 66MHz.

Actually, this; sorry. http://www.asante.com/downloads/legacy/asante5_6_1.sea.hqx

This is what you need. Click to expand... Thank you, but is that link correct? Does not appear to work.

You'll also need to ensure that you're plugging it into a 10Mbps hub - not a 10/100 switch - older Asante gear can't work directly with a 10/100 switch, you must put a 10Mbps hub b…

First off, how much RAM? That could be why OS 9 is choking.

Hi, I posted awhile ago about a non working Power Mac 8500. The problem was that it had no video out. Fortunately, it was just the adapter that didn't work, and I found a new Mac …

This is what you need.

As far as installing over LocalTalk, I don't recall that being possible. Click to expand... I installed 8.5 over apple talk to a power book 2300c, and it works fine, well its …

Does anyone have any experience with the correct drivers on a Asante MCNB Rev A? P/N is 09-00061-03 A3 I looked on Asante's website, and could not find anything on this card. I …

iTunes? yuck. I already use it as my programming machine anyway.

I still use my 350MHz iMac Summer 2000 "Fireball", with its upgraded 320MB RAM. The 6.99GB Quantum Fireball is a bit limiting though. Click to expand... Use it as a satellite …

I use a MIDI Timepiece (original) by Mark of the Unicorn (MOTU). I think even the modern versions have an 8-pin serial port for older Macs. MOTU's own FreeMIDI software works good.…

OMS is also freely available (Open Midi System). Apple MIDI Manager runs best on older System software (7.x.x and below). There's nothing wrong with a 61xx if you're running a st…

You will also need MIDI software. Click to expand... Apple's MIDI Manager is freely available.

I hated my 6116. I would get the suggested MIDI kit and use that instead on the 7500.

There are MIDI kits for the mac serial port (macman midiman for one), try to find one of those. You will also need MIDI software.

I am thinking of buying a macintosh performa 6116. I would like to connect to this machine a roland mt-32 so to play old adventures like sierra with roland sound. Does this mac mod…

Does "nbplkup" run on the server show up the 605 as a workstation?

have you tried just installing an ethernet card?

My Quadra 605 running MacOS 7.6 does not see the shares on my FreeBSD 7.2 with Netatalk running. I can confirm that afpd and atalkd are running. The network is currently Q605 -&am…

I have my IIci on the web with a MacSense E440 NuBus ethernet card. I got the ethernet card new on eBay for $12. Woah, Thanks for the awesome tutorial, I'll setup my IIc…
