Ok, I'm not familiar with the EtherWave product, but you described it as a "bridge". I have never seen a LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge that is capable of MacIP, but I guess it's po…

I have a 2hr battery, so do not need a replacement just now. 2 years from now, maybe. This latest post was made purely with a view to the possibility of experimentation on a dead b…

It looks to me that the drivers aren't installed properly. You should see two network device entries in the MacTCP dialog -- one for LocalTalk and one for the EtherWave. Apart from…

There are also software routers and MacIP gateways, like the old "Apple Internet Router" that you can run on a second, ethernet capable Mac to do this - but you don't really want t…

The Farallon EtherWave is a "full TCP/IP" device and should act like a conventional ethernet adapter. They're a bit on the slow side, but adequate for basic use with a Plus or SE. …

The problem is that LocalTalk can't "do" tcp/ip (the "internet" protocol) - it can only handle AppleTalk and that's it. MacTCP allows you to work around this limitation by wrappin…

Enjoy.

Have you looked into professional places like www.batteryrebuild.com to rebuild your old batteries? You can have major problems trying it on your own.

This evening I read with some surprise that the cousin of the 2400c, the 3400c, can use and charge the battery from a PB 190/ 5300, which is, of course, a NiMh battery rather than …

Nice score - welcome to the club! Can't say I've ever heard of an 840AV that didn't come with a CD drive, unless the blanking plate is wrong. I picked up a very sick 840AV a coup…

Sorry, I'm a little excited. This machine has been my Eleanor for many years. I've wanted one ever since I was a wide-eyed teenager staring at one in the display window at Micro Ce…

MacTCP settings : What Eudora says :

I think when Macs shifted to the "New World" ROM-in-RAM, support for machines newer than the OS - i.e. 9.1 on later model G4s - was provided by new Mac OS ROM files. So Trash is ba…

I have to agree with some of the others. As soon as a drive starts doing "iffy" stuff such as screwing either with smart status, or showing "Failed" then going back to "Verified" …

OS 9 came out before that PowerMac though. So it's possible that the G4 either has a specially compiled version of the Finder/System, or there is an enabler (going back to the old…

Confirmed: Bad RAM.

2. No - why should I ? Click to expand... Well I've done a bit of google and found "why" on my own... But errrrr I haven't found "how" ?!

1. Thanks 8-o I'll try that then 2. No - why should I ?

First, the basics : I run system 6.0.8, the Etherwave bridge is connected to the modem port of the Plus on one side and to my router on the other (and is 12V plugged too...). Cl…

Hi everyone, As the title says, I'm the proud owner of a Plussed 512, a Farallon Etherwave localtalk-to-ethernet bridge and of an internet connection - and my goal is obviously to…

The G4s require the copy of 9.1 that they came with; or later. Click to expand... That´s the first time I hear this. Always was said the Retail CD is needet for special things …

The G4s require the copy of 9.1 that they came with; or later. A 9.2 CD should boot it just fine, though.

Today I got a G4 466MHz and wanted to do a clean reinstall of OS 9.1. I took my original retail Os 9.1 CD (not an bundled to a machine one) an tried to boot. CD-Rom starts to seek…

I have finally removed the screen - ready for when i find a new one It looks so hollow Ditty93

John - That's the version I tried first. It refuses to load in OS9. I had to dig through my collection and found a copy of 1.5f6 and that works just fine. I'm a little older tha…
