as far as running panther or tiger, you have to have the original system discs. It won't install without help from xpostfacto, but i can guide you along if that is the route you w…

I thought the maximum OS for it was 10.2.8, but if it'll run tiger, i'll put that on instead.

Very nice. If I may ask though, why 10.2.8? A machine like that is just crying for 10.3 or 10.4...not to mention that you'll be able to run more modern software, too

A mod should move this to the Apple II forum?...

Nice. I love my BeigeG3MT. Maybe not as much as my 8500, but still plenty of love left over for sharing.

As long as it looks like it's composite, it'll work.

ReallyCool Dude! Talk like that got me almost ran off another fourm.The G5 Intel Elite would tell you to kick that crap to the curb like they did me. I say stick it to the man an…

Ahh, sounds good. I found the handwriting recognition was 100x better on the 2000 than on the MP100, but since you can run OS 2.0 you should be good to go. They make great little…

Ah, the IIc. I need to do get mine out.

Over the past couple days or so I've been working on a G3 mini tower I picked up on ebay for $30 shipped. So far all I've done is clean it up a bit, get it running, and check to se…

Something to try from Apple: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA22360?viewlocale=en_US Click to expand... Wow! I'd never seen that screen saver before! The box must have been locking …

No perticular reason. The fact that is was a good price and came boxed and in mint condition were good. A 2000/2100 would have been good but they tend to be rather expensive and I…

Unfortunately it sounds like it's failing. If you have something else to boot off of on the machine, such as another PPC Mac like your G4 via Target Disk Mode, do that. You'll at l…

My little 12" AlBook seems to be having some issues with its superdrive. Any disk that I insert is sucked in, pondered for a few seconds, then immediately spat back out. Blank CDs …

Sounds cool. I've never seen a 120 before. I've got a 100, 2000. and 2100. Definitely cool. Any reason you picked the 120?

I just thought I would mention that I bought a MessagePad 120 recently. I havn't recieved it yet. It will probably come next week as it is coming from Spain. It is boxed and in mi…

Ya, running from a PC Card slot can be a great solution... however, if your machine is not cardbus compliant, the 16 bit data path will slow everything down. If you can, get an Ex…

Hi, thanks for your answer, although I was actually referring to the kind where it's one connector on one end, and a three-way connector on the other end...oh well. And anyway,…

All composite cables are the same. A red-red one will work or a white-white or a chartreuse-chartreuse.

I have an Apple IIc, and a power supply is on the way. Now all I need is a composite video cable in order to hook it up to my TV. Just wondering...does it have to be the type wit…

I haven't used email on my MP for a long time, and doubt that I will again, though I use mine daily for other things (since 1998). Would Mail V do the trick, I wonder? http://www.…

In disk utility, try selecting the drive itsself, and clicking mount!

Freudling: The encouragement is appreciated. I did not try the tactic of formatting and software installation prior to putting the IDE-CF adapter and card in the machine. No doubt…

I was wondering if any of you can still successfully send email from your Newton. I've been able to set up Eudora to receive messages, but modern email servers seem to require SSL…

... which presumably means that the tactic works on the Wallstreet as well as the Pismo. How long will it remain asleep with light flashing? Click to expand... I have not check…
