    KidPix slow/laggy custom cursor

    Just ran into it on an iMac DV running 9.2.2 but I'm pretty sure I've noticed it on other machines before too.

    KidPix slow/laggy custom cursor

    Hi all, Sometimes in KidPix I notice an extremely slow cursor when I have rubber stamp or selection rectangle selected (which replaces the cursor with an image.) Other times it seems perfectly fine. Has anyone noticed this and worked out which setting it might be that causes it? I have 256...

    iMac G3 not booting off SSD, except when I select it as a startup disk from OS X

    Thank you both, I ended up swapping the IDE cable with a 80 wire ribbon (sadly disabling the CD drive, but that's not too big a deal) and it boots now. So I suspect the issue is something to do with ATA modes (is that the correct term?) on these bridge boards.

    iMac G3 not booting off SSD, except when I select it as a startup disk from OS X

    Hello everyone, I have an iMac G3 Flower Power that sadly its hard disk died recently. I replaced the hard disk with a SSD and a IDE-SATA bridge board. The SSD is recognised, I can see it as an icon when I hold Option on boot. If I boot the iMac into FireWire Target Disk mode I can also read...

    What is the Maximum OS for an Imac G4 800 mhz

    In my experience, 10.5 is slower. (At least on 1GB of RAM or less, which for a lot of G4s is the absolute- or practical max.) Also note that you lose Classic.

    System 7 Disks and System 7.6 sealed box

    Bump from the future - I have finally taken Concorde1993's high res scan, floated out the text and other elements, and cleaned the cropping and scratches. If anyone would like a copy please let me know, but it's a 6MB .xcf (The Gimp file format) with all the layers preserved. Low res preview:

    Which Apple keyboard do you prefer?

    Might as well throw in a mention for the Apple Pro Keyboard which is one of the better dome keyboards in my opinion.

    What IRC Software do you use on your Mac?

    Linkinus. It's pretty good, but not quite the way I like it.

    Make an iMate?

    If the BIOS has some sort of option for power on from mouse/keyboard activity, then it should be "fairly easy". If not, then it's still possible, but would require also interfacing your iMate-alike to the power button header on the motherboard.

    SE/30 Recapping and refurb guide

    Firstly, I do not dispute that trag and phreakout are anything but well intentioned and they offer a great service to the community. However, I would not really feel right stickying a thread primarily about a commercial service. What I suggest instead is that a new thread be created, and that...

    Refound Conquest: StyleWriter II

    I've had many LaserJet 5s over the last few years, and in my experience the anecdotal evidence of them being indestructable tanks is incorrect. While they are undoubtedly well built, all of the plastics and rubber used in the construction is now aged 10+ years from when it was new. They will of...

    Western Digital drives and the head parking conspiracy

    There is another tool called wdtler which is also handy for these green drives, but unfortunately it only works with slightly older models of disk.

    A Nice Little Software Haul

    Looks like the Macintosh Bible is effectively over since 10.3 days. It's a bit sad because I definitely feel that modern Apple fans could stand to learn a little about older times. I have a 3rd and a 7th myself, they're good reading. 1st Edition - 2nd Edition - 3rd Edition - 1991 (the...
