    How to download files on a Mac OS 9 computer?

    Just about an hour ago unrelated to this thread I was downloading files from Macintosh Garden on my Beige G3 using Classilla and I had no issues.

    AFP from a Synology NAS

    I use Fetch for FTP on my Beige G3 (with a 10/100 Ethernet card) running OS9 Connecting to a Synology RS819. Works fine for accessing my backups! for security reasons, I created an account on the NAS that can only access the classic Mac shares, just in case somehow those credentials were...

    G4 cube won‘t boot off SATA SSD

    I can second the OWC SSD/IDE adaper combo will work. I am also running Sorbet Leopard on it (although its not really the most usable OS for a mostly stock Cube, it sure is fun to see a more modern Mac OS interface) I did have a few issues, I had to reimage the drive a few times before it worked.

    Elegant SSD options for G4 Cube

    I know this is kind of an old thread, but I just wanted to share what the OWC drive linked above looks like in the Cube. I did the same thing as seen in the video with the one screw on the plastic slide, but the OWC drive while about as finicky to slot in correctly, the OWC sled fits much...

    backup on old Mac

    I put all my SCSI drives in a 20SC case and copied them one by one to a new 80GB drive in my Beige G3.

    Gefen extend it VGA to ADC conversion box

    There was no pattern, it was an orange light going on/off/on/off etc in an infinite loop with no short or long blinks.

    Gefen extend it VGA to ADC conversion box

    Yeah. It was advertised as working, but the seller took forever to ship it and when it finally arrived I was really busy so I hadn't had time to mess around with it. I have no ADC systems to test it on so I can't be sure what the issue is. What went bad on them?

    Gefen extend it VGA to ADC conversion box

    Ok, so I've tried this thing out, and It doesn't work. I've tried hooking it up to two different iBook G4s and also a PC and the display will not power on. I played around with the different refresh rates and still nothing. Both iBooks are running Tiger, and the PC is running XP. Is there...

    Your NIB(New In Box) or NOS(New Old Stock) Apple Collections

    I have an Apple ADB mouse in the box. I also used to have an apple IIe 80 column text card but I gave it away as a gift to someone years ago.

    LC 575 hangs at Welcome to Macintosh screen

    Did you try booting from the Zip drive with the hard drive disconnected?

    Gefen extend it VGA to ADC conversion box

    ^^That's what was confusing. I was hoping someone else would be able to make more sense of the power requirements then I could.

    Gefen extend it VGA to ADC conversion box

    ^^ and the spec calls for a 60W supply as well. That's why I think this is a bit overkill. I found some 24v power supplies with a quick search but the smallest I saw was still double that at 120W. The wattage wouldn't overpower anything right? its over-volting the circuitry that does the damage...

    Gefen extend it VGA to ADC conversion box

    I received this with a recent conquest of an Apple 15" Display. It also came with an Apple 205W Power Adapter P/N M5849. They appear physically compatible with each other, but the power adapter seems a bit over the top for such a small device (its over twice as big and easily 6 times the weight...

    iBook Battery overcharged?!!

    ^^ Lol! To clarify, the battery that lasts for 35 mins is the one that shows 64470 as the capacity. The one that shows 4000 actually lasts for about 3 1/2 hours. I guess I'll try to find a replacement battery and hopefully be able to fix any damage to the older iBook. Thanks everyone!
