I have never used anywhere near 128MB running OS 8.1 and apps that run on a 68K. The extra RAM is just for bragging I guess.

The thing would take an aeon to start up Click to expand... An excellent point -- something I too often forget about 68k machines is the RAM check at startup.

Yeah. Without a working PRAM battery my PowerMac 6100 does the same thing. I actually have to press the power button twice in order for it to work. Then it will reboot itself and s…

The PRAM battery is definitely NO good. I am going to replace it and see what happens. Thanks.

2nd on the pram battery

It IS possible to use the Classic version of IPNetRouter on a 68k machine. I had made a little DNS and mail server with a LC III once. Just put a Ethernet card in there, get it all…

I seem to remember some of the Woz editions shipped with ROM 01 boards. It looks like mine certainly did. Also, are there any real hardware differences between ROM 00 and 01 machin…

Is the PRAM battery good? JB

Is the Color Classic 32-bit clean?

Instead, try: Code: $ sudo mount -o rw -t hfs ./hfs24M.DSK /mnt/mac -o loop -o rw sets the disk to be read/write -o ro sets the disk to be read only

If you use Safari, get ClickToFlash (http://rentzsch.github.com/clicktoflash/) - it has helped me immensely with the beachballs. Click to expand... Yes, that helps quite a bit…

"Or it could just be that your psu is a little low on one of the lines" - replace the power supply? Click to expand... or rebuild it

I acquired this baby a few weeks ago and it came with a stock CC logic board, 10 Meg of RAM, a 700 MB Qauntum drive, and an Asante PDS LC ethernet card in it. And it came with thi…

I got the same error. Remember that I'm using the Blanks floppy images.

Have you changed the RAM, hard disk or PDS card? Maybe something is drawing a little more power than before. Or it could just be that your psu is a little low on one of the lines.

man mount gives a clue. Try mount -o rw instead.

Hello once again, Update: I managed to get a good-condition working PB 180c, and it works great! Kind of makes this thread useless, but I'm keeping the 180 around in case I want t…

PRAM has been zapped. The hard drive has been reinitialized. It's a straightfoward clean install.

PRAM problem? Bad or weird partition on the disk?

Apart from saying that you'd done it, is there any good reason to put 512MB of RAM in a Quadra, especially if 128MB SIMMS cost $20 a pop? I suppose that, with 512MB, you could run…

My iMac keyboard (the original "Apple USB Keyboard") is exactly the same. I'd say it might be because those ports haven't had many plug/unplug cycles compared to the USB ports on t…

Look for 128 meg 72 pin SIMMs for Cobalt Raq2 systems. They'll work, and they aren't ridiculously large like some 128 meg SIMMs. You can usually find them on eBay for $20 USD or le…

Just so you know, it's been said that the Q840av will take 128 Meg SIMMs, giving you 512 mega total. Give it a try, and let us know... Click to expand... I'd be glad to -- any …
