Good news! It was a bad mouse after all. Everything is working now. I think I may have fried the one mouse by hot swapping it when the Mac was on (I know that's a big no-no). …

I just bought a "new" (for me!) 1 GHz TiBook this month, and yes, it screams in OS 9. It will only run a later version of 9.2.2. And as for speed of indexing files, it is not too b…

Ok I tried both the internal OS and a different keyboard, same issue. I guess something might have gotten knocked loose when I was cleaning it. I'll try and reflow the solder this…

possibly cracked solder joints under the ADB jack. Try re-flowing the solder. Check the fuse at F2, it may need to be replaced. If both check out, try re-flowing the solder to the …

My Mac Classic has started to ask strangely. It boots up just fine from the internal HD or from a disk and everything looks alright but I can't click on anything reliably with the…

If the Hard Drive was previously used in a PC it might have (somehow) changed something so Device Setup no longer recognizes it. Or something like that. If you have a Mac OS X CD …

I nearly always put two [seldom more] os on every machine and if possible on separate disks. On older macs this is generally 9.2.2 & tiger. On a pc generally recovery conso…

Can't get this combination working. Will boot os 9. Will boot cd/dvd drive tiger disk. Will boot tiger install disk from firewire. Will boot in safeboot, BUT no core image or e…

I honestly don't see the point most of the time. None of my current systems are no longer dual booted. When I get an intel imac though I will dualboot snow leopard and win7. That w…

Oh, yes, my IBM PS/2 Model 77 has IBM-DOS 7 and Windows 3.11 on one partition, OS/2 2.0 on a second, OS/2 2.1 on a third, and OS/2 Warp 4 on a fourth. (OS/2 3.x wasn't very intere…

Unless your computer is just for experimenting you need lots of big hard drives to run that many OS's. You're going to find that you will accumulate software for all those OS's alo…

In My hackintosh I have Leopard,Win XP, and Debian in the same HD. But in my iMacG4 and my 2 G4 MDD only 9.2.2. I love Mac Os Classic (7.x 8.x 9.x) -it is the best os I know- and…

Both are G4 revision 3.3 (7455B) but diferent production number. Both G4 have 32kInstr/32kData L1 cache at CPU speed. Both G4 have 256k L2 cache at CPU speed. Both G4 have L3 ca…

Pretty cool score for a buck!

Are the CPUs exactly the same? ie, the same model/series of G4, the same amount of cache at L1, L2 and L3, the same cache:cpu speed ratio?

I'm trying to get one of my beige G3 towers running and have a Western Digital 205AA drive with the Apple logo on it. I have it installed and am able to load MacOS 9.2 from CD but …

Nice one. About a year ago, I found a wired Apple Pro mouse (black) for about the same price at a thrift shop. It is my main mouse still today.

Great info! It really highlights which apps are dual or even multi-thread aware as well as which apps/codecs are memory and/or io bound instead of cpu bound. This is the kind of …

Dropped into the local Salvation Army Thrift Store today. On the back shelf was a white mouse. I had not seen this type before. Flipping it over I saw the familiar Apple logo. …

That's some great information. Thank you for sharing the results of your real world tests. That's the best kind of information to see and it is rare.

Dual 1.42 versus 1.42 Single (1.25 overclocked to 1.42) in the same machine (G4 MDD). I have done several speed test -primary video compression- swapping two processors cards in m…

At last i managed to hear sound from roland mt-32 . I bought the real 'Hosa CMP-159 Mini to 1/4" Phone Stereo Breakout 10ft' (http://www.proaudiosuppliers.com/hosa-cmp-159.html) …

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 8…

On my netbook, (Don't ask the brand... ), I have Leopard, Snow Leopard, Ubuntu and Windows. Click to expand... What brand? MSI? Dualboot annoys me because of the loss synchr…

After running upstairs to the spare room to check. The Macintosh TV has the rainbow logo on it right in the center below the monitor. The stupid part was that Apple used a beige …
