I don't think there's any difference between a dead battery and no battery in an iMac, it should still boot. It's the same 3.6 v battery that they've been using forever, so luckil…

If you just want the apps, use Pacifist. I've done this with older OS X 10.2 OEM discs in order to get AppleWorks to convert a document from .wrk to .doc and I was able to extract…

I'm more inclined to say the PSU is the problem, probably because my II+ was exhibiting similar problems and swapping in a modified AT PSU solved most of the problems. The quickes…

I forgot to mention that the G3 has a DVD reader Drive thingamabob.

Wait a minute.... Get XPostFacto and try the disk or if you just want toe apps find the terminal command to enable hidden files and look through the packages you want installed.

Unfortunately, the disk is exclusively for the iMac G5. All grey-colored Apple install discs are. You'll need a reatail 10.2 or 10.3 disc to install onto the beige G3. 10.3 will ne…

I wonder if you could / super glue the tabs, then use conductive paint to connect the tabs? Click to expand... You could probably make up a mix of conductive paste with supergl…

Easy causes could be loose chips (give a solid push with your thumb on any socketed ones) or a marginal power supply (try with no cards (especially the disk drive card) installed).…

Yes, it did cross my mind when you joined up. The other macdan is a bit of a Powerbook guru. In fact, he might have just given me the clue I need to make the UJ-841 drive bootabl…

How does it manage the stack? The basic 6502's 256 bytes in page 1 isn't much. Presumably it manages an additional psuedo 16 bit stack ptr. I managed to compile my favourite text e…

I think that there is an Orca compiler for the Apple IIgs that is hosted under MPW. Click to expand... The Orca compiler you're thinking of is Orca/C and you can find it here: …

Have you looked into cc65? You ought to be able to build it on a Mac, and it supports Apple II as a target.

MacDan says they'll take any standard laptop optical drive [] ]'> Click to expand... Well, that's a coincidence in names!

The wheel turns ever slow, and yet it doth turn... I'm typing this on the Lombard right now. It's got OS X 10.2.8, 512MB of RAM, the original 333 CPU and logic, a new 80GB 5400rp…

I'd go with a firmware update. Its unlikely that OS X would have anything to do with it - despite the fact that I primarily run my iMac under Mac OS X, it will quite happily boot o…

Sonnet works (for instance, the 500 MHz Encore) from 8.1 to 10.4 with XPostFacto. Click to expand... But this is for the beige, right?

question: what OS are you running? what about you d-link? is it set to work with 802.11b? or is is a/g only? A lot of times, a poorly configured router can cause it not to be p…

Before you give up, check the simple things: Is the card securely seated? Is the antenna connector actually plugged into the card? I've run into several cases where the connector w…

that is correct nothing at all this sucks the card must be bad

You might be able to instal directly in Open Firmware.

I don't know. Maybe some game would conflict with it's drivers, which will also slow the whole system down. I heard that it would also restric mac os versions I can use. I need ful…

If I took a faster processor, it would have to be from 3rd party manufacturers, which I don't like very much and could lead me to incompatibility problems. Click to expand... W…
