A little patience and this was the solution :b&w: Newton now back in action. Thank you all very much. Michael Remove the battery and power for a little while, the…

I copied the ROM image from my 68k Performa. Does anyone know how to get the QuickSliver machine running off that, or if that's even what I need to do. Thanks to everyone who has r…

/me thinks about 7.6.1 on a dual 533 G4 ...

I installed Mac OS 8.6 on my Sawtooth first with MOM, as long as it worked, it worked good, alas after a while opening any window in the guest OS would stall the VM.

You can call them emulators, or you can call them virtual machines, or you can call them compatibility environments. The point is that they run PPC code on PPCs, so the don't have…

No I don't. I just have the QuickSilver, a G5 and a Performa 630 CD which has 8.1 on it. I have a friend who I believe has an 8.6.1 borg disc. He has an iMac G3, plus another iMac …

Do you have access to an old G3/Sawtooth that you could stick the drive in, install System 8 and then stick the drive back in the Quicksilver?

Are you sure MacOnMac is not an emulator. It says it is on it's own site. http://maconmac.bastix.net By the way the site is down. I used the Internet Wayback Machine to view it. ht…

You can try MacOnMac or MOL on Linux, but it will not run nativly. Click to expand... On the other hand ... MacOnMac and MacOnLinux are not emulators. In the same way that WI…

No problem! It was even difficult for me to install 8.6 on my Sawtooth G4. People here helped to make it happen. [] ]'>

OK. Thanks for clearing this up for me.

No, only on Jikes and Sawtooth G4's.

Thanks for the quick reply. I know some early G4s shipped with what they call a Borg 8.6.1 disc. I guess this was basically a disc that only came with certain iMac G3 and the first…

It is just impossible. It's missing drivers and makes wrong assumptions on the hardware. You can try MacOnMac or MOL on Linux, but it will not run nativly.

Hi, I'm new here. I've been looking everywhere on how to be able to do this. I want to be able to run OS 8 on my PPC G4 QuickSilver 2002. I stumbled upon this article, just now, wr…

You need an LS-240 drive to enable 32meg magic. The first-generation (LS-120) superdisk drives will not do this. Plus, you'll need the utilities that shipped with the drives to all…

I think you have that backwards, Bunsen. So 32MB on a floppy huh? Interesting. I have a few LS-120 disks laying around so that wouldn't be an issue. So how does one go about f…

most of the times you can just press the reset button and it will spring back to life. my MP2100 did that a few times. the first time i wigged out cause i just bought it. i remembe…

Remove the battery and power for a little while, then attach the power cable only. Slide and hold the power button over, and a very dim screen should come up asking if you want to …

I've never had this with mine but I'd suggest signing up here: http://www.newtontalk.net/ If one of these guys can't help then I'd be surprised.

I have been using my Newton at least once a week (usually during the boring weekly tech report meetings of endless powerpoinr slides of tedium). I love my Newton 2000 but this Mon…

Brilliant, Bunsen -- that may very well be true. It is quite possible that these drives would be able to read damaged floppies that are unreadable in ordinary drives. I'll have to …
