on my main machine I have ubuntu and windows xp64 what usually happens is I start using one more than the other, and the next thing I know I have been using only one for months …

I just installed 8.6 on a spare hard drive that I put into my G4 Sawtooth, It now Quad-boots into any of the following: - Ubuntu 6.10 - Mac OS X 10.1.3 - Mac OS 9.2.2 - Mac OS …

So what browser are you using on your Quadra running Mac OS 8.1 or lower? Is iCab 2.9.9 the best available?

Wow nice score! Wanna sell it???? Click to expand... I think I'll keep it for the moment. ;^) So, upon trying the "boot to OS 9" experiment, when I boot a system file dragged …

the 1.42x2MDD I briefly had was very very snappy. Even my 1X2G4 QS was a very snappy machine. In all fairness I was using an 800mhz ibook g3 as my other osx machine at the time, bu…

So, I picked up the machine yesterday afternoon. The complete inventory of stuff in it was as follows: 2x 1.25Ghz CPU 2 GB RAM Airport 250 GB HD 1x Radeon 9000 Pro AGP with DV…

the MDD has absolutely no problems at all running large IDE hard drives; In fact, I believe that the MDD came in a server configuration with a set of large hard disks in it at some…

OS 9 can work with large drives up to 2TB if you find a copy of MacOS ROM version 9.5 or later. The ROM file that came on the MDD's CD or an iMac/iBook G4 or other late version of …

IIRC 200gb or smaller partitions can only be read by os9 say you have a 600gig drive and it is partitioned in 200gb and 400gb it would boot fine off the 200gb partition but absolut…

I'm sure others who have personal experience with such machines can give you a 'from personal experience' answer, but here's my understanding: OS 9 will only recognize partitions …

Recently I (foolishly?) agreed to take a dual 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 Tower (OS 9-bootable, not FW800) off a coworkers' hands for $50. (I'm not sure why. I think I had this vague idea that…

Whee! My 2-3X Panasonic DVD-RAM discs (4.7 GB, no cartridge,) work just fine in OS X Tiger. Disk Utility formats them no problem. Disc is recognized in 8.6, but won't format, no…

It needs to have the DVD Extension and Disc Authoring though. Click to expand... Are you sure? ISTR reading that once the disk is formatted (HFS or HFS+) it can be mounted rea…

Not sure, I haven't really used the DVD-RAM cartridge I have in an old mac. I should try it. I have an external enclosure and that PowerBook 3400c and see what it does. What OS a…

Is is SCSI? Mine is (50-pin) Click to expand... Nice. So, IIRC, you can mount that on any old SCSI Mac and it appears as a hard drive?

Awesome. I feel like I'm connecting with long lost brothers or something. I get asked at least 3 or 4 times a month similar stuff about why on earth do I collect or tweak, or bu…

is this the drive that is slot-loading/cartridge loading? If it's that one (the one commonly sold with the G3's) it's probably not gonna work with the newer DVD-RAM discs. Is is …
