Do you by any chance have a Mac running OSX 10.4 or earlier? By taping over the hole on a 1.44mb disk you should be able to make a fake 800kb disk and put Apple's image on there, t…

Eh, it's frustrating, huh? I volunteered at a computer recycling drive and missed a PowerBook G3 and what appeared to be a excellent condition Thinkpad. Along with other stuff only…

That 80MB hard disk has to be after-market, surely. Maybe their hard disk died and they replaced it with the only SCSI disk they had available.

Hurray, more 15 year old software to look for xx( .

I can verify that once you take RAM Doubler out of the system folder, restart and try to copy it again, it won't work. RAM Doubler requires an installer disk to work, unfortunately…

Last question for now (maybe ) To back up something like ramdoubler do i just got to take the 80kb file in the extentions folder, or is there more of it hiding somewhere?

As far as installing System 7.1 goes, its just like any other Mac, however be aware that you'll need to ensure that if you're running the installer from System 7.1, that the boot d…

I'm willing to bet you have a MiniScribe hard drive. These drives were prone to failure in the first place and seem to be failing at an alarmingly high rate as of late due to age (…

1. In my experience, if you have to use it RAM Doubler is certainly a lot better than Apple Virtual Memory, but at the end of the day, there's no substitute for real RAM. 2. As fa…

As assumed earlier up, it has Ramdoubler. Is it any good, should i hold onto it when i reinstall? Its running 7.6 now and feels pretty good, but i might try 7.1 first, because i fo…

But your question is about formating because it is not that the 6100 has a HD size ceiling, but that either the drive you are using, or the software you are trying to format it wit…

Ah, whoops, my bad. :I

Newer Technologies made a SCSI micro-dock. I've seen them on eBay from time to time.

the warehouse i buy old apple computer gear from sells everything w/o hds (although the imac g3 and emac I bought had HDDs I assumed that was because they are just a bitch to get o…

Gorgonops, I think you have unearthed the most useful information. (And excellent research!) Funny though, that he didn't talk about sensitive information - of course I would have …

and I suggest you do some practicing, weather its taking apart some old electro junk or going down to radio shack and buying some random caps and a perf board, soldering and desold…

Trag sells new SE/30 tantalum capacitor replacement sets. http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=4884 Info on replacing them is on the board.

Sorry, my bad, you need a long Torx T15. Here are some helpful hints from the Classic Mac Repair PDF: Obviously, it’s very dangerous to work on the innards of any line-powe…

Thanks Guys (or Gals?) I had an brain-wave and tried the Norton Utility Emergency Disc - it booted beautifully (if painfully slowly), I asked it to search the SCSI network, and it…

The recycler in question wasn't this company, was it? http://www.recycleapc.com/ Parent company homepage here Looks like they host collection events... and actually, never mind,…

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…

What would be a method to figure out whether it was the recycling company or apple who made the decision? As the guy obviously hadn't cataloged the donated computers yet (all of t…

Wow, great conquests!
