If you start up while holding Option-Apple-O-F, can you get back to the Open Firmware prompt? Another thing to try is a verbose boot - hold down V (or Apple-V) during startup. It…

Apple didn't start using SDRAM (aka PC66, PC100 and/or PC133) type sticks until the Beige Power Macintosh G3 and G3 All-In-One models; sometime in late 1997 or early 1998. So, tha…

Anybody who used quotes in a reasonable manner shouldn't be affected anyway. If it takes you even fifteen full additional seconds to find the text you wanted to talk about and then…

I can't believe I used to print everything out and then OCR it back in! Click to expand... OMG OCR! I type it all in octal on a telephone pad

I took apart my Macintosh Portable this evening to make a count of the different capacitors I'll be needing to replace as part of the standard "holy crap this is old I need to repl…

There's 512MB of Ram (4 sticks) in the 9600 I just got but I can't find anything on the Chipmunk site that corresponds to the chip markings. They're Sonnet sticks but the Sonnet l…

I can't see what the big deal is, you should still be able to use quotes via BBCode. Its not as if we've banned quotes completely. This is a test. Testing testing one two thr…

That does sound like corrupt PRAM, if you wound up in Open Firmware (the mac-boot prompt). Check your battery voltage - should be 3.6V minimum. If the battery is OK, then press the…

Sometimes I question why I allow myself to be treated to this... Arg. This is just horrible. Time to make a new 68k Forum Nah, just kidding. I guess we'll have to live with lo…
