Well, having beaten up freudling's The Elusive PowerBook 550c topic more than I had planned to, (apologies there) I just bit the bullet and purchased a tested known-working M1893 A…

In the light of the discussion and listing in this thread, what could be of interest to you? My Install and Restore CDs for the immediately preceding iBook (600MHz/14-in/8MB VRAM)…

Try removing and replacing the ROM chips. Make sure the notches all face the edge of the board, not the center. If you get any kind of response at all from this then bars or black …

I have the same problem with an iBook G3 (800MHz 32 MB VRAM model). I've got a 9.2.2 installer CD that shipped with the 16MB iBooks, but it hasn't solved the problem for me, eithe…

That's it. I've downloaded and burned about a dozen .ISO files - all useless. I also have retail copies of OS 9 -> 9.2.1 and 9.1, neither will let me install. Yes they are…

Hello. Well i got my mac off of eBay. It ran for about 45 minutes and when i went to use it later on it gave me the vertical bars. It looked like the capacitors on the logic boar…

A powered USB hub should do it then Wayne

Some laptop ports are underpowered, by my guess to save power when you use them on battery. I had this issue when i got an iPod Touch and I only had my iBook 500Mhz with me and it …

Simply put, if you turn on a fan to blow fumes from your nose while you solder, and if you then wash your hands after your solder job is done, you need not worry one bit about pois…

Correction to my post above: that should say desktop/platinum G3, NOT blue & white G3!! Also, I tried ProTERM 3.1 last evening on the IIgs. It did not work! I must do more…

The author of this thread will not be convinced by any of this, but I offer it for the rest of you interested in knowing the caveats of going Pb-free in your soldering work: It's …

You folks guessed right, my drives are not powered by external power. I'm really surprised that the PB 17" USB 2.0 ports don't have enough juice, isn't that weird? I'm very optimi…

Oh cool! Now does this just pretty much modify the NVRAM making it independent of the software once installed? Like i install it, turn it on, and i can swap out the hard drive with…

It basically means that your powerbook can't provide the necessary power to spool up the HDDs. You might either need to get a USB -> IDE/SATA Converter that you can apply e…

Whenever I plug in the hard drives, they both started to make a clicking sound. Uh oh, there may be something really wrong and I thought my data was long gone. Click to expand..…

I'm at my wit's end and thought I'd give it a shot on this forum. I have two hard drives, one an external WD Passport 120GB that was formatted for Mac and the other is an internal…

The //e can then run any competent terminal emulation software to login. Click to expand... If you're going that direction, you have lots of company: http://dataswamp.net/appl…

If you have an OS X box that lacks serial ports, you can get USB/8-pin serial adaptors pretty cheap. Then all you need is an 8-pin Mac printer cable to go between.

Here's how I plan to get my //e connected: I have a Super Serial Card and a b&w Power Macintosh G3. I've got the G3 configured with OS 10.2.8 such that its serial ports (p…

Not for MacOS... the free alternative would be to install some form of UNIX, but that's not exactly the easy way out ;-) There's always the option of getting a dial-up shell acc…

When will you be posting the Apple II stuff on there that you have? Click to expand... Hopefully in July or August. I need to update the Vault page, though. I've done more work…

Is there a free alternative to IPNetRouter?

That's what IPNetRouter does.

Wouldn't it consist of running some router app on the Mac and then connect to that with the IIgs? Sorry, but networking isn't my strong point, possibly I should call some local net…
