II+ units are a bit rare though so I might consider picking it up as well... Click to expand... You'll see. Once you get the bug, you'll never quit collecting. Start cleaning…

To the 500 Mhz G4 barrier: Thats why the PPC 7450 was used in the 667 and 733 Mhz G4 DA. An interesting note is that the lower price Digital Audio model include a PowerBook CPU c…

Yeah I was surprised it worked here - the Ames & Des Moines craigslists are really quiet compared to larger cities. Humm I'm thinking of the IIc since reading this thread:…

Keep in mind that you'll want something modern to complement the II+. A GS does nicely, since you can network it right up to the latest G3 (or any other Mac with a serial port), an…

My thoughts are: Wow, craigslist actually worked for you? Every time I look, it is full of spam. And when I posted Wanted ads on there, the only response I got was some spam into m…

I would not be surprised - remember, this stuff was expensive back then, and that wasn't helped one bit by the fact that Motorola was having a lot of trouble putting out fast G4s, …

I'd say you have a Gigabit Ethernet G4/400. And they're not exactly rare - it was the low cost, "no frills" version of the Gigabit G4, for people who couldn't afford/didn't need du…

I finally managed to obtain, from a second-hand dealer, a G4 sawtooth that boots up in 8.6. Yes, it is very fast. [] ]'> To be safe I sent the dealer a copy of my boot CD,…

Nice job on the pictures and information!

I don't think it would be recognized.

Well, whatever you do, don't crawl through the window. Every time I've done that, the game went from a nice walk in the park to a subterrainian nightmare.

The copy on Asimov (zork_1.dsk.gz) is 143,360 bytes once un-gzipped, and works fine.

thanks whats weird is the file i have i got from asimov and it was, as said, less than 140k so wouldnt work. i guess my ftp software on that day simply crapped out in someway and…

Maybe one of the files here will work: ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/apple_II/images/games/adventure/infocom/zork_1/

you did not say you wanted it permanent. I just looked at my old post and saw that I did not say place the magnet "on the trackpad". That is how I have my working without a case,…

Go into System Preferences, click on Spotlight, then click on the Privacy tab and drag your hard drive to the list. It stop indexing forever with that hard drive. Also making Spotl…

Yep, same reason I use it. I much prefer pre-spotlight searches, too bad there's no way to get those back. Click to expand... I don't use Spotlight, it seems to give me too muc…

OK, make sure you've downloaded the relevant drivers: http://www.ff.iij4u.or.jp/~ngc/eng/newtwave.htm Set your base station to WEP or unencrypted. go into Owner info and set up …

I figured this out! For anyone with this problem in the future: there is a magnetic reed switch between the hard drive and touch pad on a ribbon cable. I cut a sliver off a flat…

Problem solved. I just installed Panther on the system and it boots past the upset screen I saw when on Jaguar. Very odd behavior as the last time I used Jaguar was on my Pismo (di…
