Thanks. I have Appletalk on and set to ethernet on both the PPC7600 and the G3. Still can't get them to connect using the chooser.

The PPC7600 is running OS 7.5 and the G3 is running OS 8.6 Click to expand... I would expect the 7.5 box to be using AppleTalk for AppleShare, not TCP/IP. Try setting up Apple…

The networking settings (particularly IP address and subnet mask) are correct? Click to expand... Those shouldn't matter if you're using the DHCP thing. Both Macs will just inv…

The networking settings (particularly IP address and subnet mask) are correct?

I have two older Macs (PPC7600 and G3 B&W) that I want to network. The PPC7600 is running OS 7.5 and the G3 is running OS 8.6 I have both HD's named and set for sharing. I…

I figured it wasn't a good idea, but it's always nice to have confirmation. If money wasn't so tight right now, I'd have a lot more options... but since it is, I'll just have to h…

My B&W gave me fits until I did a firmware update on it. I went from 8.6 to 9.2 to 10.4 http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=3841731 The Revision 1 B&a…

Depends on the price really, I love mine and I've managed to pimp it hugely so I'd say yes.

Yeah, that's what I'm thinking of. I do hope it's the RAM, will try with some from my G4 later. Fucks me right off too, as I scrounged this last week and there was another where I…

^^sounds like a hardware rather then software problem.

I am considering buying a MP 2000 off eBay. Would you guys recommend it?

But then, why not just do a clean install of OS 9 and skirt around the problem? Click to expand... Both my 8.6 and 9.2 CDs that boot my 7500 just fine give the same error, as d…

There's a prior listing of offending/offensive ATi extensions in the thread: http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?t=822&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25…

I've installed OS 9.0 from iMac install media onto a beige G3 and experienced the same problem. The solution was to use the generic 9.0 install CD. You may be able to fix it by twi…

Compare the presently-installed extensions with those that would be installed from the OS 9 CD—using TomeViewer to see the latter if you have to do so—in case what you believe to b…

I have an iBook Clamshell battery if you need one.

Batteryspace.com sells NiMH tabbed 4/3AF cells. Getting eight of them to fit into that tight PB1400 case may be a problem, so the tab soldering must be done in a very compact man…

DON'T put any Clamshell battery parts into the 1400 battery or vice versa. The cells in ALL iBook batteries are Li-Ion cells, whereas the 1400 uses NiMH. Interchanging them would b…

Clamshell battery: With my iBook Clamshell SE's battery being well and truly dead, and since it came second hand with the machine when I bought it (meaning no guarantee or warrant…

first thought, duff RAM/slot, try one memory stick at a time and see what happens or if there is only one then try a different stick. If that doesn't work then I'd suspect a knack…

I recently conquered a beige G3 desktop from university. It's stock + RAM. Unfortunately, I can't get it to boot. Booting from the HD which has OS9 or an OS9 CD bombs after loadin…

Just got a 3400c but haven't dug into one for awhile and haven't opened this one up yet - need a power adapter to test it out before I go taking it apart. Is there a way to tighte…

I have an old edition, (2nd, I think) It's from 1994 and covers the very first Power Macs, so that's where I read it.

YEAH! I think I read that in Mac Secrets or something. I have 2 of the 5th edition of that book. It is a GREAT book. It even lists each Mac model. You can get the PDF of that …
