Welcome to the world of Newton ... I have a 2100 sitting on my desk at home it gets the occasional use (criminal I know) I would probably use it more if my Powerbook 1400 was not b…

Perform the hinge fix on it. I tried doing it to mine, but the display cable was wedged under the hinge. It worked fine before, but after removing it (CAREFULLY), the touch portio…

Okay, so I've gotten through a couple Shadowrun novels recently, good reads. And I was thinking how cool it would be to have a Deck. And then I thought, Hey, I've got a couple of…

I bought it off eBay and it arrived today. Manuals, documentation, and software were still sealed in the original bag. Box got kind of dinged up, thanks to the lovely folks at UPS.…

I think 9.5.1 added the LBA48 support. It seems to be the minimum one if you want to boot a MDD anyway. Not sure what other fixes the later ROMs had (but I guess the newer the bet…

Just don't try the Griffin Technology's iMic. I already tried and it doesn't work under OS9.x or earlier. There aren't many USB audio interfaces that work with Classic Mac OS ver…

Some of the posts above indicate sources of Mac OS ROM 10.2.1 that I was unaware of, and wouldn't have been accessible when I was trying to get a useful installation of OS 9.2.2 go…

Does anyone have measurements on these things, electronics shops sell a wide and crazy selection of gears, I would think theres something out there that can be used

I picked up a couple of 800K external drives and neither will eject a disk after being cleaned & lubed. In both cases the first little plastic gear in the eject mechanism i…

Yup. My iBook came with 10.2.1 install disks only. OS9 was in a "classic" image on the first restore CD. That had 9.7.1 in it. Also, Netboot for OS9 has (iirc) 9.6.1. 9.8.1 is on a…

Yep, one of my adaptors has the instructions on how to use the DIPS on the back of the adaptor. I'll check if its a mitsu

Well Whaddya know? I found another one in the depths of the lab! This one has 10 DIPS and no instructions on how to use them, while my other one does. Click to expand... http:/…

I wonder if one of those cheap USB to audio things would work with OS9. My son's PC laptop needs that because the headphone port is toasted. It's USB on one end and headphone/micro…

Classic support? And why not just use an actual CD recorder? Or if you have a digital mixer, record to flash drive. My church has both options and uses neither. Click to expand.…

Interesting! Somebody was still working on OS 9 ROM after OS 9 was pronounced dead. You've found some later ones than I did.

BTW, did you know that OS9.2.2 can handle large, as in 1TB+, drives? With Mac OS ROM version 9.5.1, my blue & white G3 has no trouble with its pair of terabyte Seagates und…

Right, and right you are. If you look again, the the old Mac has been upgraded to 2MB RAM, SCSI, and 128K ROMs, so in effect it's a Mac Plus now. Just not as pretty or reliable. Th…

HFS+ causes crashes in older versions of AppleShare.

are you telling me you got 6.0.8 running on a 128k mac !!!! 8-o because according to the http://www.apple-history.com site you can only run up to System 3.2/Finder 5.3. if i am …

Sorry, cancel the above post. :I Found my backup CD-R and the old Mac managed to mount it without crashing. It has the magic versions of everything on it.

Grrr! > So last night I pulled the old Mac "128" with its SuperMac 2MB RAM + SCSI upgrade outa the closet. No boot. Hard disk keeps recalibrating over & over. Tr…

Wow. $1,235 and counting

That thing is pretty tight. I'd take one, but not for $600+ 8-o

Classic support? And why not just use an actual CD recorder? Or if you have a digital mixer, record to flash drive. My church has both options and uses neither.
