I kinda wonder how the cleanup/rescue went for him...

The PB 170's HD is actually a 1 GB IDE HD connected to a IDE-SCSI bridge. TBH, I hadn't thought of that, haha. Thanks!

I don't want to have her dealing with configuring SheepShaver, if you know what I mean. Click to expand... Okay, I'll buy that :lol:

Pull the HD, stick it in a PC and reformat. Viruses = gone. Unless it takes a SCSI HD. Lowendmac was not to clear on this.

-Modem Port to female DB-9 serial. I'm really intrigued by this one, is this essentially a null modem cable or is it something else? Click to expand... If you mean Mac mini-DIN…

I don't want to have her dealing with configuring SheepShaver, if you know what I mean.

I'm not sure you could tell about the miniDIN to DE-9 without checking the lines yourself. My bet is it's straight thru. AAUI transceivers are getting harder to grab, so nice find…

Would they run in SheepShaver, perhaps? It just seems unfortunate to have to run between two laptops ...

AFAIK OS X. She just needs to run apps that won't run in Classic. I gave her my PB 170 (the one I have now), but after a while, I decided that I really want it back, and she could…

Asanté FiendlyNet Click to expand... Is that for running networking daemons? Congratulations on the Apple Powered Speakers. They are lovely, aren't they?

I like the speakers. Someone locally is selling a black set with the white Apple logo, but I'd prefer the old style.

Why, what's her Lombard running?

Thanks Byrd for the valuable advice! I didn't know about the possibility of the CPU card becoming unseated; I thought it would stay a tight fit. And I'm actually intending for the…

Great finds. See if you can get a G3 for the 1400 -- it makes it a totally different animal. Although my 1400+G3/333 still feels slower than my 300MHz blueberryBook, it still runs …

Chances are that PB170 has a poorly-seated CPU daughtercard; reseating it (or shimming it slightly to enable a better fit) usually gives it life. Either that, or pull the battery …

Thanks! I'm pretty sure I know what's wrong with the 520c.

Not bad, best of luck getting the nonfunctional machines up!

Just so you know, it's been said that the Q840av will take 128 Meg SIMMs, giving you 512 mega total. Give it a try, and let us know...

Are you confused yet ??? Click to expand... Yes I am, that's why I started this post in the first place - but that's part of the fun isn't it ? :lol: Thanks for the help anyw…

Hello, I'm PowerPup. I just joined the forum. (Awesome forum by the way.) I almost succeed in a similar attempt, it ended up not working so well because I could not find a stab…

Alternatives include using a serial port to another host and using PPP between them.

Ok, I'm not familiar with the EtherWave product, but you described it as a "bridge". I have never seen a LocalTalk to Ethernet bridge that is capable of MacIP, but I guess it's po…

I have a 2hr battery, so do not need a replacement just now. 2 years from now, maybe. This latest post was made purely with a view to the possibility of experimentation on a dead b…

It looks to me that the drivers aren't installed properly. You should see two network device entries in the MacTCP dialog -- one for LocalTalk and one for the EtherWave. Apart from…
