MacOS 8.6 on "Sawtooth" G4 — #54
Well I finally tried booting my Sawtooth in 8.6 using Almeath's file which I burned to CD. Since my sawtooth had a bootrom of 4.2.8f1, I assumed that 8.6 booting was no longer poss…

That's fixable, Scott. Strip down the drive, clean it and relubricate it. If that fails (whic…

I found my Liron card and UniDisk drive (which has a ton of problems with ejecting disks). I'm going to set them aside as a backup since I found my IIe doesn't really sit comfortab…

In the Compact Mac thread I posted about possibly using my Color Classic as a virtual Apple IIe. In case that doesn't work out, I have a few questions regarding floppy drives on th…
5300 Brand New Sealed In Box — #12
It looks like nobody bought it, even after he listed it again for $100.
FYI, as a former owner of a 5300 (plain 5300, greyscale) and a 1400cs, here is my advice:

Okay,
I need some help on this one...
My wife (bless her soul) has killed another PB, first my lombard, then my DVI and now my pismo.

I got my adapter today and popped the 80 GB drive into my G3. After a little playing around with the Silverlining software, I can access *ALL* of the files on my disk! Copying them…

I do it on my iMac all the time.
Power: i would hope so
Mini-DVI: connected to 18"CRT

Apart from the modem port and the Audio In port, usually my PowerBook G4 has all the ports in use.
Ethernet is connected to a 5-port switch which is the core of the wired portion …

I've had all the ports on my MacBook bar the line in use once a few months back:

Search for the "Lisa/Macintosh XL Do-it-yourself Guide" from Sun Remarketing. It is largely a reprint of Larry Pina's guide to basic Lisa repair.
Off the top of my head, I'd recom…

There are some people online that probably have experienced that exact problem with a Lisa 2 and could tell you exactly how to fix it. I would wait a while and see if you can find…

From what I've seen, older computers are most often plagued by capacitor problems - I'd check the caps first. If they're bad, search the forum for 'capacitor' and you'll get a good…

I have a Lisa 2 (XL I think). It booted-up and ran fine 5 years ago, but now, when I push the start button, I get two low beeps (memory?) and a screen that looks like a beehive and…

Has anyone done a same-machine speed comparison with 9.x.x?

Only a PC. I'm ordering one of those adapters that lets you plug a 2.5" laptop HD to a normal desktop IDE connection. Only $4, and I can just pop it into my G3.
