Package install — #5

The .pkg"->ncu is new to me. I have used Packtype (and occasionally Packager) for years, but had never heard of the other utility. Thanks for the lead.

Power Mac 9500 startup woes — #3

I just gave up and got out the 8100/80 instead, thinking that I'd post here the next day (which I've done). Maybe someone else has a clue. I wonder if putting in the mis-matched R…

Mac II ROM Interchangeability? — #1

I believe the SE/30, and IIx ROMs are identical. Since the Mac II can be upgraded to FDHD, does that also upgrade it to the IIx ROM? I know the SE/30 can use a IIfx and IIsi ROM.…

Now I cannot install 10.2.8 — #5

I think even if you are installing onto the first 8GB, thats not enough - as Mike said, the drive should be partitioned, with the first partition being no bigger than say, 7.7GB. I…

Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet? — #1
