On a cold boot with 4Mb a MacPlus does take a fair amount of time to go through its memory. That is normal. It does sound like a power-supply issue.

Ok then - Mac Plus, it boots, or rather it can boot all the way to the desktop and it can sit there for a while - usually less than ten mins - then it re-boots. it generally gets t…

Alright, piccies: For some reason 3 of 5 of them came out super grainy. And that's 2 megapixels on my phone. My Quicktake 150 takes better pics. Should have used that instead. Oh…

/me wonders if you were booting with media that had an earlier release than the mini accepts Did you try doing it with the mini's original install? or if the mini came with 10.3, …

I will later on this weekend. It seems to be running great. Now all I need is some sort of hard storage, a full install of System 6.0.1, Wolfenstein 3D, and I'll be set!!

Yay I am .11 of all posts!

Well I ripped it to shreds. I installed a DVD Burner and an Airport Card, and its a freaking monster to open. My hands got all cut up. So while there I examined the video cable. It…

I was once able to use my Sawtooth as a glorified external Firewire CD drive by shuffling the IDE cables about so the CD was on the first bus. Then connect by Firewire to other Mac…

I was under the impression that Intel Macs could not boot from USB, but PPC Macs could (at least of the proper vintage). I have booted G3 iMacs from Zip drives (with an ISO filesy…

As to G4s and USB booting, my G4/500DP happily boots from a USB drive. I've booted Leopard and OS 9 off various USB drives.

Hee-hee, yeah, OS 9 is a performance monster on my G4/500DP

Being a large part of this community is not about having the most posts or being seen the most often, it's about having well-written posts that bring something to the table. It's n…

You may need special drivers for that Farallon card - a lot of third party ethernet cards need their own drivers under System 7, rather than the drivers that Apple provides.

I don't even want to know what my post count is, why do we even have a counter for that sort of thing? Click to expand... It's always funny to hear that from the person who doe…

If I recall, back on the old Snitz board I hit over 5000 posts. And I will admit - I did more than my fair share of postcount++; back then - I was young, and despite being 18, stil…
