Hey gang, How big can an HFS (aka Mac OS Standard) partition be? I always thought they could be huge, but I've been having some trouble formatting a CF card with Disk Utility in O…

I use a piece of folded paperboard that fits VERY snugly against the flat side of the battery and the case stiffener where the original gasket would've gone. It requires a bit of e…

There is no extension for the floppy drive. Its driver is built-into the ROM of the Mac, and may also be inside the system file somewhere. The CD-ROM has an extension. Neither l…

Honestly, the best way to use IIe software without a IIe (and the only one I know of that is guaranteed to be 100% legal) is the Apple IIe card for an LC I'm not sure how/if the I…

i have ran into these issues before, sometimes the driver extension can get messed up, sometimes it can be the eject system getting gummed up, or a bad cable connection. i think i…

when the computer gets bumped it sometimes turns off when running on a battery, according to the repair manual, it needs a foam gasket to keep it in tighter. This thing's from 1997…

I had been planning on putting a fresh copy of an OS on there, and I ended up putting 8.5 on my G3. Ejecting floppies doesn't appear to be a problem any more. I really wonder if …

I would never have thought of that. Is there some specific reason behind that suggestion, Bunsen? Are you suggesting to rebuild the desktop on the HD or the floppy, or both?

Try rebuilding your desktop.

I would first just remove the drive and clean all the dust out of it. Then insert a disk into the bare drive and manually eject it a few times to try to observe any problems. Cou…

I've been tinkering with my beige G3 running 9.2.2 as of late and discovered it is having some issues with its floppy drive. Specifically, whenever I eject a floppy, it spits it o…

The only relevant tip would be that you have to configure the jumper block yourself to run the CPU at 500 MHz (or as near as you can get it by multiplying 66 MHz). Apart from that…

Hi, I've not really been playing with my old Apple II stuff, but am going to try and spend a bit more time on it. I was just wondering what the view was on the best IIe emulator o…

It has to do with a bad install disc. Thankfully I use only backups so I don't scratch my originals. Click to expand... Thats a very good idea, I have a 9.0 disc here that I go…

Now that is strange! Maybe a system extension that customizes the mouse pointer? Do share when you figure it out! Huxley

I've never seen it myself until now, but I've heard of it. The cursor turns into a little bomb icon. So weird. http://img222.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img0324pe1.jpg

Am I just pushing that slow internal bus further than it was meant to go? Click to expand... Sounds like a power/heating issue.

Off-hand, an immediate suggestion is to take in Franklinstein's comment about Royal VRMs in the Beige DT and MT (in your other recent post, about ZIF CPUs). Beyond that, some test…
