The G4 tower has just been turned on after being cleaned up and allowed to dry out (necessary as the cleaning included a hosing of the power supply, which surely emitted enough ni…

The games will immediately crash again if I open them. But like I said it's not all the games, just certain ones. I'll crack 'er open and see if there's something loose inside or…

Ok yet another wrinkle. I had the Mac turned off for an hour or so while I did something else, came back, and now everything works. Shufflepuck, Fools Errand, Gunshy, they all wo…

Hmm... Just got an Illegal Instruction error in the control panel again. Could just the presence of a bad program in a folder cause the Mac to go wonky or does it have to be 'inst…

I may have spoke too soon. Booting from a System Disk I still get errors in games. Shuffle Puck Cafe crashes with an illegal Instruction error after the Broderbund Screen (might …

I posted all that network info to help get you started. Yes, it can be done. Yes, the software and hardware exists/existed to get it all working. I wouldn't be too surprised if …

I ussualy just drag and drop to a stuffit alias and that works for me, but cheking in resedit, here is the type creator: Bin: BINA SITx hqx: TEXT SITx

Does anyone know what opens HQX files? I assume it's StuffIt? If so, what are the TYPE and CREATOR for HQX files? The site where I downloaded all these files must have blown awa…

So the easiest way to transfer files from a Windows machine to the Mac is just using the standard 1.44 floppy? Thanx, Geo Click to expand... CD-ROM should work. You'll either…

Be aware that with a 575 board, you will have to perform either a software mod or a hardware mod. The software mod is to fool the 575 board into operating at the Color Classic's 5…

I've been using Stuffit Deluxe 3.0.7 under System 6.0.8 on my SE/30 for ages now, although I must admit I don't use it that much at all. I use Stuffit Expander 5.5 more frequently…

I think you're right. Oddly it did work under System 6, it just caused everything else to have errors. Where can I grab the latest 3.x.x version? I assume that they're freew…

You never know - companies are still buying them, so it's just a matter of time before some older product becomes "obsolete" and the chips work their way onto eBay. Or if a company…

Tempest, Bear in mind that version 4.01 was written during System 7's era. It wouldn't surprise me much that you may need to upgrade to 7 to fix the problem. Otherwise, try down…

Once you get an SE/30, you'll definitely want Mode32. However, a Classic II only supports 10MB of physical memory (the 2MB on the board + 2 4MB SIMMs) so Mode32 is superfluous for …
