To the best of my fading memory, System 7.1 Update 3 is not synonymous with a System 7.1.3, wot of there never was one. However, there was/is a Finder 7.1.3. Some reference to the matter can be found at http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=8770&p=89204. I have used such a...

On topic (which?): Bravo! beachycove. OS 8.6 is the making of a (NuBus) PB 1400. Its 64-MB RAM ceiling does not make use of OS 9.1 useful—not least because a 1400 has to be cozened into accepting the installation—but (especially with a Sonnet G3/400 under the hood) a 1400 with 8.6 is much more...

What Richard needs to absorb while he is yet new to privation (groan ...) in this Army, and well before he can be eligible for PFC status, is the difference in use and outcome between winklage and wigglage as investigative or restorative methods. Winkling cables away from snags and out of...

The last retail OS 9.2.1 CD that I have is ©2001, and we were invited to download the update to 9.2.2 when that became available. I'm not aware of any retail CD of 9.2.2 at the turn-of-Century, although I have not looked assiduously since then. OS 9 was included in ex-factory installations and...

Perhaps as a result of my ineptitude with the search engine, I have seen/found no current/prior reference in these forums to this sale on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330360490902#ht_720wt_1055 EveryMac makes reference to the marque, of course...

That seller's pricing policy has attracted comment before. In the new-look comments-allowable regimen the comment cannot be repeated. The pic doesn't allow much confidence that anything has changed in the seller's emporium, however. de

Support of OS 9 by G4 MDDs has already been treated here, most discursively in viewtopic.php?f=3&t=9967&p=99383 both as to the Classic Environment components and 48-bit LBA enablement under OS 9. The two Install and restore DVDs released with the M9145 1.25GHz MDD that could again...

It is good that the immediate problem has been resolved, be it that you had corruption or disorganization to overcome. But Good Housekeeping is still never a matter for tomorrow. Bonne chance! de

There are several things to do before you feel that you are driven to extremes, such as erase/re-install/nuke/offer burnt offerings to the gods. They are all comprehended under the banner of Good Housekeeping. 1. Click once on the drive's icon on the destop, and then press command-i to invoke...

As both trag and Charlieman have written, reset the MLB. Not a desultory random poke at the CUDA. The CUDA is the last thing to touch before putting the metal cover back on, with good battery (3.3V or more in circuit rather than in the hand). Its job is to provide a clean-slate inventory of...

What I take to be the on-board cache of 128kB of SRAM (which Chipmunk doesn't go into in any detail) is all surface-mount chips: 16244CTPV by Integrated Device Technology. What is on the TAG and cache card(s?) is all DIP (through-hole) chips without legible markings. Given the discussion in...

Kindly rub your throat along the edge of my outstretched index finger. The only reason that you got it at all, let alone so cheaply, was that the seller did not deign to respond to my request for a pic. of the WGS card. I was, of course, interested in its cache and TAG cards. Grrrr! Do enjoy...

As LCGuy relates, in addition to insertion of the replacememt ROM chips: HI (342-0639) at C13 MED HI (342-0640) at C12 MED LO (342-0641) at E13 LO (342-0642) at E12 the IWM chip must be replaced with a SWIM, but you also need System 6.0.2 or higher lest the Macintosh II still mistake the...

Some of the posts above indicate sources of Mac OS ROM 10.2.1 that I was unaware of, and wouldn't have been accessible when I was trying to get a useful installation of OS 9.2.2 going on an MDD. My subsequent experience is that: Large drive support under OS 9 can be checked by looking in System...
