My TAM arrived today - was quicker than I thought it'd be! First thing I did when I pulled it out of the box was switch over the voltage on the base unit, set it up then took an iP…

Congrats! I like the 9500 tower just because it's slimmer but wow do I prefer working on the 9600s. The 9500s are just vile, vile machines. Pretty sure I have scars from a few!

As to G4s and USB booting, my G4/500DP happily boots from a USB drive. I've booted Leopard and OS 9 off various USB drives.

Hee-hee, yeah, OS 9 is a performance monster on my G4/500DP

I have been looking for a 6 slot PCI Powermac for what seems like years now (they are too pricey to ship usually) and yesterday I snagged 2 of them from a local recycler. One unit …

I had to look em up: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iomega_Bernoulli_Box Like an early zip disk pretty much.

Being a large part of this community is not about having the most posts or being seen the most often, it's about having well-written posts that bring something to the table. It's n…

It was one of the removable storage systems that were all the rage at the time. Back around 1993 there were two main competitors: SyQuest, with their 44 and 88MB disks and drives, …

Yeah, I REALLY don't want to read his files. I'll probably just wipe the HDs With the installers that came with them. Also, Whats a Bernoulli Drive?

Wow, nice. :O I'm still struggling to get my Macintosh IIci motherboard working lolz.

Nice score. Just please, whatever you do, make sure you do end up erasing his old files, without reading them. There's no need to give us vintage Mac enthusiasts a bad name (and…

Alright, I just hit it up with some googone-ish stuff (just a solvent) and a plastic scraper and now it's basically 10/10 condition, no scuffs or cracks or anything. Just a pretty …

You may need special drivers for that Farallon card - a lot of third party ethernet cards need their own drivers under System 7, rather than the drivers that Apple provides.

I don't even want to know what my post count is, why do we even have a counter for that sort of thing? Click to expand... It's always funny to hear that from the person who doe…

Soon, I will test them each for one day as my computer, pitting them to massive stresses. Which one that works properly, gets chosen as top Nubus PPC from the last 2 I have not got…

Whats wrong with it? Those are actually easy to open unlike a the bloody eMac...

Hey guys! A guy on Freecycle is shipping this to me. -- 2 Mac IIci's -- both have the motherboards, cache card, hard drive, internal 3.5" drive ... but I moved all the RAM, the b…

Darn, I didn't think of that. It worked! Although I don't remember having to use an enabler in the past. :-/

To run 7.1 on an LC III you need a system enabler that's probably not on the installer disk but *is* on the disk tools disk. http://support.apple.com/kb/TA47341?viewlocale=en_US

After my LC III sat unused for a few months, which had/has bad caps. So I removed the ROM's and washed the board. I probably screwed something up by putting the ROM's in the wrong …

If I recall, back on the old Snitz board I hit over 5000 posts. And I will admit - I did more than my fair share of postcount++; back then - I was young, and despite being 18, stil…

Nuke the HD and reinstall everything?

Thanks all. Yeah - I'm pretty pleased with the situation. I upped it to 512MB RAM and have installed and am currently updating Jaguar. I have tiger discs around somewhere but cons…

I got 9 installed. And DAMN it flys.
