In case you frequently deal with stacks of floppy disks, consider to copy them onto a harddisk drive. A System 7.1 installation runs great from a harddisk, as long the contents of …

I saw a post like that a couple days ago too. I just clicked the report post button.

For a nicely improved video experience you might try to snatch a PDS graphics adapter (look at our List of video cards). In combination with a commslot ethernet adapter you could …

I'd be concerned that the router is faulty, and might be either ungrounded or squirting mains power into the LAN. That would be a Bad Thing

Your forearm tendons will be grateful for the Orbit

I have to agree, the PB1xx series are my favourite machine to work on, take the two case pieces apart and everything's right in front of you. Speaking of replacing the LCD pane…

Well, still, you may want to open the case up and give the hard drive a good whack.

Get the smallest soldering iron you can. Click to expand... I would offer quite different advice. To get this particular connector to solder properly requires a fairly robust i…

The post was spam (as you rightly pointed out) and was hence removed, the user banned, etc. The spam bot in question was indeed a clever one. Although the three posts it made didn'…

Regardless of SCSI IDs, I still get a grey screen. I'd like to try SCSIProbe, but the problem is that if I connect ANY external SCSI device, I get a grey screen, and the floppy dri…

I use to play Falcon 4.0 over appletalk on a couple of Quadra 950's back in the day. Anyway I could get a copy of that from you? ;D

A little late but.... You are using low density memory only right? The cheaper high density modules won't work.

I'm asking all of the mods. I don't know which mod did it. It just seems kind of fishy. Maybe send me a message next time as a courtesy, you know? "Hey, thanks for the lead on th…

Thats the plan once i get some, use 1.4's. Anyways got Ramdoubler, bomb shelter and MS Word 5.1a on it for now, it should make a nice little note taking machine. Thats it's officia…

Thanks for the confirmation that I should do the analog boards too. I've heard of "Macintosh Repair & Upgrade Secrets" - while Alibris has somone selling a new copy for $9…

Don't ask us, ask ~tl - he's the one who did it, to my knowledge.

Because they were no longer necessary, i'd imagine. If it were its own thread they may have remained, but it was a thread that also happened to be for a legitimate new member. To a…

The 1.4MB and 800k versions of System Update 3.0 are exactly the same, but on different size disks. There are some Macs that can run System 7.1, such as the Mac Plus, early SE's, a…

Does it stop when you unplug or turn off the router? I'm thinking it could be something to do with interference coming from either the router or its associated cabling (which may o…

It probably takes a bit of getting used to, this is the first time i've ever played around with any pre os 7.5 system so it should be fun. On another happy note, the PRAM battery s…

To be frank, it's not basic at all with the right software. Here are some useful addons: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/71more.html

I got 7.1 pro installed. Should i get the update from apple or is it pointless? Its gonna have to wait till i get some floppy disks... My hard drive icon changed from the little la…

The tape trick only tells the drive (and OS) that it is dealing with double-density media, and only works reasonably well if the disk has never, ever been formatted or otherwise wr…

What are folks' opinions on doing pre-emptive replacement work on the analog board? Click to expand... It's a must, really. Capacitors that are over 20 years old and very susce…
