I think it would be a good idea to share the driver alright.
I did some digging around and managed to find what I think was the last driver release from Iomega (they've changed th…
I was once able to use my Sawtooth as a glorified external Firewire CD drive by shuffling the IDE cables about so the CD was on the first bus. Then connect by Firewire to other Mac…

Two iMac G3/500MHz DVSE Snow machines are the only Macs (amongst 40+ left after a recent change of house) in this house that were bought new. Always-on for 6+ years, with their re…
Why unfortunitly? I prefer "Hard Power"

Each to his own - it's a matter of personal preference I suppose, but I do just find soft power to be a nice convenie…
I remember back in the day thinking that the Snow iMac was profoundly ugly, and that being completely devoid of any colour, it was almost like a beige iMac.
Now, I think they look…
Firstly, remove the power supply from the 6100 and pull out the useless air filter. Useless because it's actually facing the wrong way to keep dust out, it keeps dust in. :?: :…
I was under the impression that Intel Macs could not boot from USB, but PPC Macs could (at least of the proper vintage). I have booted G3 iMacs from Zip drives (with an ISO filesy…

Congrats! I like the 9500 tower just because it's slimmer but wow do I prefer working on the 9600s. The 9500s are just vile, vile machines. Pretty sure I have scars from a few!

I have been looking for a 6 slot PCI Powermac for what seems like years now (they are too pricey to ship usually) and yesterday I snagged 2 of them from a local recycler. One unit …

It was one of the removable storage systems that were all the rage at the time. Back around 1993 there were two main competitors: SyQuest, with their 44 and 88MB disks and drives, …
Nice score. Just please, whatever you do, make sure you do end up erasing his old files, without reading them. There's no need to give us vintage Mac enthusiasts a bad name (and…
Alright, I just hit it up with some googone-ish stuff (just a solvent) and a plastic scraper and now it's basically 10/10 condition, no scuffs or cracks or anything. Just a pretty …
You may need special drivers for that Farallon card - a lot of third party ethernet cards need their own drivers under System 7, rather than the drivers that Apple provides.
