IIRC, the IIe and IIc have an integrated diagnostic routine (I don't know about the II and II+). I always accessed it with Control-Open Apple-Closed Apple-Reset, but the support article below suggests that you just need to hold down Closed Apple while turning on the power. ...

Hey, this is cool! Glad to see the idea of using a 68k machine in a modern environment. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Got a monitor connected (17 inch LCD), and I can report back on a few things: It had Mac OS 8.0, I just updated to 8.1. PowerPC 604 at 120 mhz 48 MB ram 1 gb HD Not sure what to do with it now. Never had a machine that ran OS 8 before (and it's a little wimpy to go to 9, at least not...

Check out this link for the drivers: http://www.markyb.org/farallon-ethermac-se-driver-disk-version-2-2-1/ I've found that the Farallon EN install works for the majority of that era Farallon network hardware, including the etherwave. I've managed to get TCP/IP working on 7.1.1 and 7.5.3 - but...

Thank you, thank you! I do love the look of it, but also the expandability - looking at eBay right now there are processor cards, ethernet cards, usb cards, it'll take big hard discs, 1.5gb of ram *pant pant pant*... BTW, do the 9600 processor cards work in the 9500?

So, I'm digging around the local thrift looking for wireless stuff for a project (found both a nice 802.11b and 802.11n router) and lo and behold for $13: What I've managed to figure out so far: - It's got the mach64 Apple PCI video card with the old school 15-pin connector. Only monitor I...

SUCCESS! MUAHAHAHAAAHAAAA!

Yeah, I've got Noguchi's driver - although I had MoreWifiCards installed - just did a wipe and installed only enetsup.pkg enetsup.pkg inetenbl.pkg inetstup.pkg Lantern Noguchi's driver Nethopper Confirmed a few things: 1. The ubuntu hotspot isn't being seen by anything else. 2. My...

Hi folks! So, I've got myself a Messagepad 2100, nice little device, and I've acquired some pcmcia networking stuff off ebay. I've got a 3Com 10/100 Xjack card (won't work, shouldn't work, doesn't work, shoulda RTFM better), another ethernet card that's on the way (RTFMd, will work), and an...

Source, please?

Are you using any of the patches from here: http://amcg.ese.ic.ac.uk/~adrian/vnc/ ?

So, I've got an ongoing problem with one of those "manta ray" looking Etherwave adapters. I had it working with 7.5.3 and Open Transport - TCP/IP worked nicely, Appletalk was configured for the "alternet ethernet" port - all was happy. But any time that I take the computer off the power supply...

Brilliant! Trying it now! Thank you! :)

Does anyone know of a utility to read/write to PRAM? I'm thinking of something that could be used to restore system config on bootup when the machine doesn't have a PRAM battery installed...
