I just found out that even with a Phase II AppleTalk router, as long as the 128k and printer are connected to the zone created by the Mac router's printer port, it can even see the printer on a Phase II AppleTalk network. The 128k was downstream of the printer, but since the printer was in the...

I got the 128k to not only recognize the LaserWriter IINTX, but actually print a document using a real & true PostScript font. It doesn't have the memory to print every character, but it was trying to print that test document at 24 point Symbol and I wanted to show that it works. To save...

I tested my 128k with the LaserWriter Installation Disk (a copy I had made) with a LaserWriter II NT and NTX using the for the time stock 2MB of RAM and it works perfectly (even would print if my printer would actually pull the paper in from the tray. LaserWriter 7.0 compatible printers using...

I had the IIcx & it made the IIci look good. Over the years I had 4 of them, three in one sitting and 1 to make sure the IIci was the choice (the Quadra 700 so rudely disappointed in System 6 compatibility, 100+ MB max RAM, 3+1 expansion slots (I need more than 1 and 2 halves for the Quadra...

I auiditioned the Quadra 700 and even gave it a 8.1 booting 700MB Quantum Trailblazer and a System 6.0.4/6.0.8/7.1 IIci (7.1 only used for the few things I can't get System 6 to do like AppleTalk routing) crushed it because of this little thing called...System 6! If you want System 6, you have...

I got my IIci recapped early this year and it works so well except for audio playing from the external CD-ROM drive. This CD-ROM drive worked perfectly on a Mac Classic and allowed the Classic to play an audio CD. The problem was before the recap it was halting at first and then it wouldn't do...

I have one of those that I use as an iTunes jukebox on 9.2.2 when it's not storming; got it the iSub and it plays music far louder than my neighborhood can handle-got a Summer 2000 iMac DV SE 500 Snow for the bedroom and as soon as I got the Graphite one an iSub I had to get the iSub for the DV...

I had a Quadra 700 in 2007 I got from the high school I was in at the time. It had a Farallon 10baseT transceiver like one of the ones mentioned here. Had Mac OS 8.1 with Apple Built-In Ethernet. Should have worked like a jewel. Set all the settings, tried to make it work and even when it showed...

Update on my IIci as regards networking: I finally gave up on the MAU for AUI to 10baseT, bit the bullet, and bought a 10base2/RG58/BNC to 10baseT media converter. That got me a link to a 10baseT half-duplex vintage hub that connects to the Ethernet switch attached to my AirPort Base Station...

I have a Macintosh IIci that I needed a monitor for and I found the Samsung SyncMaster 731N works because it supports all the different methods of sync (H/V sync, composite sync, & sync on green even) as the ancient Apple CRT it was designed to go with, and it supports 640x480 at 67Hz, so...

The AirPort Utility software for 9 and X doesn't seem to offer a port speed selection option. If it is there, I've never been able to find it in Mac OS 9.2.2, X 10.1, or X 10.3 (my Jaguar install CDs died and so I can't see if Jaguar offers that.) It's miraculous that the IIci will work with a...

OK, so I found a PDF of the Apple Ethernet NB Card installation guide. It says the DB-15 connector I am using is a standard Ethernet port of that type (i.e. a standard AUI port.) If it's a standard AUI port, it should just work the way I've got it, especially since the AUI cable's pinout matches...

OK, so I'm stumped on this one. I've tried to look all over here as well as everywhere Bing and Google would show me and they were not taking me to where I needed to go. I have an Apple EtherTalk NB Card running in my 8MB RAM, 80MB HD, 32KB cache card Macintosh IIci and it wants to connect to...

I got a 128k over 2 years ago now and recently got both a 1200 BPS and 300 BPS modem for it. I happen to have a significantly old (but not 128k old ;-) Quicksilver Power Macintosh G4 that has a 56K modem that can downshift to 1200 or even 300 BPS by virtue of me using Mac OS 9.2.2 on it, and...

Alright. After testing the Mini vMac compiled for use with the same applications I run often on my 128k (thanks to it almost perfectly emulating a 128k), I sit here and try something that doesn't produce any problems on the emulated machine on my real hardware, and I get the following completely...
