I'd hope to think the availability of iMac G3's in Melbourne would be otherwise quite good. Even if you can pick up a cheap iMac G3, you could transplant the case plastics and the …

I'll get a bigger HD when this ELS one fails!

This sounds to me like the power supply is the problem. When you take the CRT out of the work load, the "FLUP" sound was much faster, which tells me to check for proper voltage go…

Nice haul. Was that a car boot sale or something? It's hell here trying to get any old stuff. If you go to the vintage mac section on ebay.ie and filter the results to "Ireland onl…

No... 2 system folders would occupy too much space on my puny 80MB ProDrive ELS. I'll just install 7.6.1; i allready converted all 19 install disks and its disk tools disks to a f…

WHY????? Wasn't it slow enough for you under XPHome3? Click to expand... It never ran XP Home, it came with XP Pro ( and Vista Basic ). It's now XP Pro SP3. Click to expand.…

I have just built my "HP Mini 2140" a month ago from scratch. I used the XP Pro SP2 install disk plus the drivers from the additional HP application disk. No real problems except h…

The easiest thing to do is run two System Folders, one with 7.5.5 and one with 7.1, and use System Picker to switch between the folders.

Many apps require 7.5, and i want to run the newest OS it can run. Even if it is slower than 7.1. Besides, i want to have fun doing over 19 disk swaps and writes } . Yaay 19 f…

Gotcha. OK: What is the reccomended system to run on an LC III? I am probebly going to put 7.6 on it.
