Excellent score on that Sun Box! Quick look over there! /grabs sun box and runs

I just tried HFVExplorer on a PC and it seems to be able to save readable files to a HFS formated disk in the USB floppy. I will have to try the disks in the SE 30 (on Friday when …

The USB disk drive I bought can only read and write to PC FAT disks. Click to expand... Weird. I've never heard of this before. Your USB drive should be able to read/write HFS …

Yep, they most certainly are. Here is an article explaining the differences between auto-inject and manual-inject FDDs.

Those are auto-inject?

The USB disk drive I bought can only read and write to PC FAT disks. Both a modern PC and my iMac can write to such a disk, but only a HFS disk can be used in the SE30. Getting the…

I tried using Silverlining version 5.5, and when I try to "Select Drive..." from the File menu, I get... "SCSI bus is not responding. Check that devices are connected and powered…

Some have decided to put the HD into the System Saver on top of the IIgs. This way they can turn the HD on first. Sometimes you need to do this as the drives age they may need a fe…

Hi, Some of them will require integer basic or maybe Dos 3.2 to boot up. I am surprised that they still have them. They usually purge old things in favor of newer items. Where abo…

If this was in "the other" Vancouver (Washington, USA; instead of BC, Canada,) I would be there for certain... But, sadly, I won't be able to go that far, as I'll have family in t…

A lot of the stuff for 10.2 will probably be on their website for years to come. You can still update 9.x through the System Update utility, and there are all sorts of 7/8 era down…

Either way, the stock 24X CD-ROM is a complete dog and deserves to go, I've spent hours troubleshooting a few Clamshells only to find the reason I can't install OS X is because the…

I'd say the capacitors have gone on the Classic II motherboard...you can either replace the caps yourself and keep using the Classic II, or trade/give the machine to someone else o…

I've rebuilt many Clamshells over the years, and have found OS X 10.3.9 to be more than passable due to the 4X AGP graphics card - it makes things like Expose smooth, once you have…

I saw that the other day, and if it was for the 1xx series, rather than the 100, I'd totally be going for it.

Definitely 9.2.2. OSX on 800x600 is horrifying to use.

I just checked my AIM version and I'm using 4.6. Granted, it's nowhere near the level of iChat as far as refinement is concerned, but for basic conversations it works fine. It also…

Yes, swapping out one of the floppy drives is really simple. Every Mac SE has an internal SCSI port on the motherboard for an internal HD, you just need a mounting bracket (heck, y…

Today while I was doing some stuffit-expanding on my 5300cs, I went for a game of Maelstrom. I turned it off before I lost a life. That's how horrible the screen is.

Now that I've got a long Torx-15 screw driver, I'm having a lot more fun in the repair shop with my old Macs. I finally got to see why my Classic II was presenting only a Simasi-M…

I often think to myself that I'd like to get a 5300 or a 190 just to play around with. Then my common sense gets the better of me and I realise that there's nothing I could really …

Unless you need to run OS X software, go with OS 9. As Scott said, for web browsing, Classilla is available now. For AIM access, AIM 4.3 should work, though I haven't used it in qu…

You can never have to many working superdrives, they also seem harder to find. I have a few spare auto inject and manual inject (at least I think I still have some autos). I like …
