Hmm... That is weird. I have my Sawtooth G4 maxed out with three HDs and it's DVD drive, Everything worked fine. I know yours is a quicksilver, but they're not that far apart. I h…

Switching both to cable select worked. Which is strange because I've always been told that optical drive buses on mac's weren't "smart" enough to know which is which and label them…

Very much frustrated here because Apple Profiler and Norton System Works for OS 9 can not see the card. I have installed OS 9 ( using original apple installer for OS 9 ) and updat…

Thank you!!! I think its working. Wow, amazing stuff!!!

(I waited to post this until after I got back from vacation and could do some troubleshooting.) Just before leaving for CA, I received the G4, installed it in the B&W, and…

I get an address error. Can anyone help???

These are very nice machines. I got given one a few weeks ago. A mate was having a clean out and I got lucky. My machine has issues though, the pro speakers won't work for some …

Here is a link of some pictures, that I took when I overhauled one of my 7100's. Although the pictures don't give you step by step instructions, they should give you an idea what…

Now comes the time when we mob you for disk images. Click to expand... I'm not sure if I want to open any of the boxes... I have a few circa-1984 boxes like MacProject and the…

NIB type stuff, or used?

For machines find the local recyclers and become friendly with them. Learn the scrap rates and give them 50% more and you can pretty much have anything there. My collection has gro…

Any ideas on the spontaneous bootup and the lack of "influence" via the ADB? Could the power supply also have issues? I do have a spare but it is about the exact age as the other…

(I thought I had posted this, but apparently not.) Went to the big main Goodwill in Portland today. A school has donated a huge bunch of elementary-age old software. I saw many Wor…

I install the CD Sunrise driver today with System 6.0.8 and when I stuck a CD in the drive I get a error of some sort (I can't remember right now). What else could I try? Thanks,…

JDW is quite correct -- poor focus is not caused by a logic board problem (except, perhaps, indirectly by loading the power supply; that possibility is quickly checked by simply me…

I am still saddened that the Macintosh Hacker's Bible doesn't exist. But since Mr. Clapp made time to post here about it, perhaps he would take a trip back to memory lane and writ…

Yes, that will do. Either way will work. To make it simple, put in the floppy before you turn on the computer. 1. Put Disk Tools floppy in computer 2. Turn on computer 3. Let …

@Unknown_K Where exactly do you live in Ohio and do you know of any places to get old Macs (GoodWill, etc...)? Click to expand... For old software I look at thrift stores, Go…

Update! upgraded hard disk, got 1 os installed getting ready to do some dos networking/filesharing (yay) http://cheesefactory.us/RC/index.php?p=p7

most 10 year old game systems are 2 generations old, leaving them with (at best) small meg's of memory, and 10's of megahertz This rule does need to be revised, under the current r…

@Unknown_K Where exactly do you live in Ohio and do you know of any places to get old Macs (GoodWill, etc...)? @Mike Richardson Nice find :O

How Strange!

The guy gave me some pics of the internals. http://5249161678509350185-a-1802744773732722657-s-sites.googlegroups.com/site/aquaregia27/home/portable_scsi.JPG?attachauth=ANoY7cones…

The rule regarding games/pdas is the result of sheer laziness and ignorance on my part... there just isn't a convenient cut-off as there is with computers. If anyone has any ideas …
