Currently trying to put an FTP client on the mac. I put a FTP server on my Windows box, so hopefully, I can transfer Netscape that way. (unstuffing this takes forever....)

The PCI Power Mac era is by far my favorite!

Office X is still decent, and less resource-intensive than later versions.

For the record, I absolutely love my 6500/225 - it's a great computer

Open Office looks very very promising - may be just what the Doctor ordered! I got x11 installed yesterday from my Tiger disk and then got OO to open ok - interface seems very simi…

I removed the jumper from the card. I made the flashing light go away by plugging the cable into an older switch I had, now it's a constant on. After this I am now getting an IP …

Looking at the Mac drive pinouts I just Googled there's a pin labeled "PWM" which says "Motor speed control". If you can find documentation as exactly what sort of signal is presen…

No. It is not possible. You can change the resolution with some versions of the monitor control panel but the picture does not actually change (i.e. get wider). This setting was sp…

I've had many CCs, none with the IIe card, and I think they all gave me the 560 option in the Monitors Conrol Panel.

True. I actually used a PM9500 affectionately named stoplock as a server box for quite a while. Stoplock is now with Dog Cow; iirc it doesnt want to bootup . I've moved on a far …

Thanks. Got it. Also, Apple has an article on how to check firmwware version: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2568?viewlocale=en_US (Now I found out I don't have the latest firmw…

Floppy disks are like record players Click to expand... No they aren't. Floppy diskettes are like records. Floppy diskette drives are like record players. Also they aren'…

I wouldn't be able to turn it into anything server-y as my isp has 1 ip for _everyone_ on each tower, so no incoming connections. Click to expand... That is really stretching t…

Try running Apple System Profiler. It should show you the firmware revision on the first screen. John

For those interested my notes so far. I think I am going to go buy a printer, because I hate reading on the computer. Can't scribble notes on the pages that way. :-D Click to e…

Well, NetBSD would be great with a huge-huge-huge caveat, at least for me. You need to have a real pci video card, ATi or NVidia. The on-board video is insufficient, as well as the…

Yea like the poster above me said what you can do will work, and thats the best bet, I would get the "network floppy" to reinstall 8.1 and use speed dubbler but thats just me. so …

What about a Localtalk-Ethernet adapter, like the Farallon Etherprint? Click to expand... On a 128K? No room for MacTCP.

Just as an aside, well... I was fuzing with this out of curiosity, and I never was able to make a USB serial adapter spawn a console out of /etc/ttys automatically. The oft-quoted …

Hmmm. I have iStat running on both the DP MDD (1.42) and the Intel iMac. The MDD shows a CPU temp of 73125f (no decimal point); there's either a problem with the installation or …

I think I'll just go back to "sneaker netting" w/HDDs! : I was trying to avoid spending $80, but Sonnettech has always done well by me! http://www.sonnettech.com/product/temp…
