No pin six here

OS 9.2.1 and 9.2.2 aren't supported on pre-G3 systems, you need OS 9 Helper to use those versions. Out of curiousity, are you sure that the card is even any good? Have you tested …

Just to confirm the 2 other posts, I just checked my 3 M0100 mice, one is new in bag and one has been used once, and none have pin 6.

What kind of CD did you try? Are you sure it's undamaged? Is it a burned CD, or a factory-pressed one? If the former, expect trouble in older drives. Is it an HFS disc? HFS+? ISO?…

Yes the cable that i ordered is '8 pin MiniDIN on each end'.thank you very much for your help Bunsen.

My M0100 has no pin 6, and I'm sure it's not just 'broken off'.

I usually use a thin screwdriver. I know, not the recommended way of doing it, but as long as you are extremely gentle, you should be fine. I've been doing this for years, and have…

I can't see why not - it was never an official upgrade, but all the other parts should be the same.

What is the version of your Mac OS 9 CD? If you have a Mac OS 9.1 retail CD, you can install that straight away, without any trouble. If you have 9.0.0 or 9.0.4, you have to insta…

Thanks. Just a fast question : do i have to install OS 9 first and then add OS 9.1 ? Or Can I just trash the 9.1 that's installed now and then just run the OS 9.1 installer ? …

M6498 I suspect it may have been opened up before, an upgrade prior to delivery to the original owner? As it has 512 Megs of RAM, 256/256. Course I want to take it to the maximu…

Unless you have a proper IC puller, or some other device that can get under and lift both sides at the same time, then the trick is to ease each side up a very small amount at a ti…

It was a different seller. Did anyone bid on the boxed Excel 2.2 that ended today?

The takeapart is really not too bad. You're right about the PSU in them though, they can be a little meagre. Which model of iMac do you have?

Macguy, I am going to send you the files via email tomorrow. One thing to note, though. You may want to try a "clean installation" of Mac OS 9.1, if you can. This has worked fo…

Well I think I just found the answer, it is definitely due to size. These things are absolute barrels for the capacitance that we need. http://www.parts-express.com/wizards/searc…

My sincere apologies to you all if I haven't been getting back to you in a timely manner about shipping costs for sending work to me. Things are, as usual, hectic yet not too busy…

I wondered where that MacDraw auction had gone... You didn't buy from seller jmorand did you?

You are so lucky I didn't see that auction. I would have bid $25 on it.
