When you are booted from the OS 9 disk, have you tried opening up Drive Setup and Initialing the disk? After that have you proceeded to tell the OS 9 installer to "Preform a clean …

oh okay thats easy . I thought there was a difference in serial number or something. Thank you!

Well, you tell by whichever language it's using. English= USA and German=German

$50 is NOT resonable for a mac of such age. A 733MHz G4 tower maybe, but not a G3. Offer at least $30, they're still making a buck. That'll at least fill the tank on one of the te…

Hello all, Tomorrow I receive my first Newton, a MessagePad 2000, but how do I know whether I have a German or US version of it? Thanks in advance

G4FanControl was free, but last time I checked the developer wants money for it. Other than that I haven't found any fan control utilities for the PowerPC G4 mac portables. I wish…

SOUNDSTICKS! or is that the famed iSub?! I have a pair of those bose speakers without apple branding. They're sort of "meh" to me, sort of like every other bose product, a little…

Disk II's didn't sell well did they? ha Click to expand... They were only Apple's most popular product of 1978. People had to wait weeks on a waiting list to get one. Apple…

Most CRT circuits have quite minimal self-discharge means, and the compacts are no exception. Click to expand... From what I've heard, only the newer compact Macs, such as the …

Yes, it's doing a basic RAM test. You can't do it on all Macs, but you can likely disable the startup memory test by holding down option + command (I think) when you double-click …

I plugged it in, like a kid on christmas expecting something extraordinary, and again NOTHING. So I decided to whip in a Mac IIfx ROM SIMM, remove the jumper, and see what happens…

I was under the impression that usb 2 will not run under os 9.x so you are stuck with usb 1.1 speeds. Click to expand... Correct

Learn something new everyday! Thanks a lot for the feedback! After doing that screwdriver trick to over 200 macs back in the day, I still don't like that moment right before cont…

For the most part I collect primarily Apple II, IIgs (Still my favorite), and Mac equipment. However I go through phases where I get onto other things. The last 6 years or so has…
