I'm not a fan of Matsushita drives. Apple's firmware is unnecessarily restrictive about what media types are supported, and Matsushita steadfastly abides by its agreement with Appl…

It's probably a nicer interface Click to expand... Certainly more lynx-friendly Click to expand... I don't know how long it will stay that way, since I'm working on integr…

I use FreeDOS for my DOS software like GEM.

Hey Guys: This doesn't really apply to Marketplace but my Superdrive is on the fritz. It can't really read discs well and has been burning duds for the last month. I think I need …

It's probably a nicer interface Click to expand... Certainly more lynx-friendly My only quibble would be that it defaults to proportional font... not a big deal, but I thi…

I don't know. It's on my server, so I like that. It's probably a nicer interface, and I'll be working on making it fit into my main site. There's a load of options for searching. Y…

What advantage does this have over Google Groups? http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.apple2/topics?gvc=2

Update: I have 20,300 articles in 2,300 threads from January 2007 up until yesterday (none have been posted today yet). I have no idea what the retention rate is going to be like, …

You're probably right. I have an 8.1 CD, but not one for plain old 8.

A beige G3 is 8.1 and above isn't it?

Could possibly be an OS issue (I think this card came out when OS 7.5.3 was current and HFS was normal). Did you go to Apples website and download the latest software for that setu…

I have been tinkering with mine lately, and it will end up like this: G3 Tower with G3/400mhz processor from my Blue/White G3 384MB RAM 9.1GB SCSI hard disk 3GB IDEhard disk Z…

It is currently set for 1023MB. Both drives are formatted as HFS Extended.

what is it with beige motherboards dying? / the symptoms were a non-booting OS X install, OS 9 booting fine. Click to expand... you THINK you cleared it with Command-Option-P-R a…

Check both drives for bad sectors. How big are you making those virtual drives?

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roug…

I run the mirror for machut. It's at home and uses 6mbit download and 40kB upload. It's used for other stuff too, so you can get pretty low speeds. However, a slow download is bet…

I wasn't really expecting that sound track, tbh. Neat photo montage, anyway. I don't think I'd bother with the WiFi hack; I actually have type III PC cards to use, and I'd rather …

I have a Beige G3/400 with 128MB RAM, a 9GB SCSI hard disk and a 3GB IDE hard disk. It also has a PC Compatibility card (Pentium 166) with 80MB RAM (16MB built-in + 64MB DIMM), a …

It's not looking good, she's dead as a door nail now. I've swapped the batteries, put in PCI video card, disconnected every IDE cable, started swapping ram chips. I don't what's ne…
