I have both a ROM 01 and a ROM 03 IIGS. Which one should I use?

I own a Sawtooth but like almeath I don't have the original 8.6 install CD. Could someone who has the Mac OS ROM 2.5.1 file please make it available for download so that other Saw…

As far as I know the power manager (PM) circuit is built into the motherboard. It can be reset as above, and for reference here is the offical Apple guide on the subject: http://su…

When you say PM card, do you mean a replaceable card?

Try holding the reset button for 15-20 seconds, then let it go. If that fails, unplug the AC and remove any batteries, leave the system like that for an hour or so and then plug t…

Plugged a known working power adapter into the 1400c. Pushed the on key and nothing. Pushed the reset button at rear and the light at the top of the screen comes on. Nothing else …

I have seen that behavior ... I can't remember where. /wracking brain --David

The only fixable cause of that symptom is a display cable problem. The flex cable is not infrequently to blame. If squeezing somewhere on the edge of the lid around the display mak…

I've tried all of them - different batteries (although they only last about 30 sec each), no battery, PRAM reset and PMU resets. Plugged in overnight, cold boot, etc. I'm positive…

Thanks for the suggestions. I've tried all of them - different batteries (although they only last about 30 sec each), no battery, PRAM reset and PMU resets. Plugged in overnight, c…

You might also consider an open-firmware reset dance. Can't hurt, might help.

Wait a sec... Isn't there a PMU reset button? I also thought that the lappies have a CUDA somewhere, no? Pull the battery and run it off AC. Does the problem happen? How about o…

That is really, really weird.

Sorry to hear about your problems. In all the years I have been using OS 7, 8 and 9 I have never heard of the problem you describe. Hope you get it sorted out soon.

In a way. Here's an issue I've seen with iBooks running OS 9 before: as soon as the desktop loads, the powerbook falls asleep. Wake it up, it falls back asleep. No amount of PRAM r…

I hope someone can help me! I have a powerbook 1400 which I use daily, however a short time ago it began having two bars on the right side of the display. These are most noticable…

Thanks!

If you have any leftover rubber chickens from SCSI voodoo rituals, perhaps you could sacrifice one to the USB gods.

When I turn on my Apple //e the just says "Apple //e" at the top, and nothing else happens. Click to expand... It's waiting for a floppy disk to boot. If you don't have one, h…

I have a G4/733. (768 MB RAM, original superdrive, 10 GB HDD (OS 9.2.2), 120 GB HDD (OS 10.4.11), NVIDIA GeForce2 MX 32MB, 17" Samsung SyncMaster 730B, USB Apple keyboard (dated 1…

when it says apple II at the top you should be able to type unless you have a floppy drive hooked up then it will want a floppy to do anything.

Is there any noticeable difference with the mouse connected directly to the Mac, space (and time) permitting? Click to expand... Not any one of connecting the mouse to the DA d…

Why would we joke? This is a serious matter. A classic mac could be sick. Geez man get with it. [] ]'>

I can't figure this out. When I turn on my Apple //e the just says "Apple //e" at the top, and nothing else happens. I was expecting a prompt for Apple Basic. The Apple //e em…
