One important thing is to enable ip forward by putting the following line in the file /etc/syslog.conf: net.ipv4.ip_forward=1 on both Linux and Mac systems (e.g. iBook G4)

I found a photo of a cover we had done. The work hadn't come up that much.

Hi everyone! I'm really happy to see this thread all dedicated to my covers;) I have to say that I didn't expect it and I am very pleased to read everything, including suggestions and what I should do to improve them. Before putting my girlfriend to work with her sewing machine, I thought a lot...

Thanks bibility, I changed the Optoisolator and it worked. Thanks to you too AndiS; now i have a more general idea about this problem.

thanks, tomorrow I'll try to replace it with a card that I already have recovery. In fact I have tried the hd on another macintosh and it works perfectly.

or is it in the hd controller?

Thanks for your answer. Could you tell me where it is?

I recently performed a recap of the capacitors of the analog card of my Macintosh Classic (the critical ones); all right for the first few seconds from power on: load the operating system correctly from HD Quantum 20 MB SCSI (the original Macintosh Classic to be clear). After a few minutes the...

I used isopropyl alcohol when I disassembled the drive for a more thorough cleaning but it never convinced me that this could be the cause of the problem. It looks like that damned disk brought the floppy drive head out of alignment. Generally this is possible, but only in the writing phase when...

I have a problem with the floppy drive .... I have many HD floppies and I would like to try to make a selection to understand which are still usable and which are not. I started to format them with a Power Macintosh 7200 ... all right ... some working floppy and some floppy with some bad sector...

Hi guys, I just wanted to tell you that I managed to fix the Apple HD 20 SC. Here's what happened: the HD had a pre-installed System inside (I don't know which version and I don't know on which machine it performed the installation). It was therefore a bootable HD and (oddly), any selection of...

Yes exactly!  what I tried.  considers that HD works, because when I connect it to my Macintosh SE, it immediately starts with booting from the HD20sc.  unfortunately I can no longer dictate the hd20sc so that it starts but as a secondary.  always starts as primary. note: the adapter you see...

yes exactly Crutch, it is a terminator and from what I have read around it seems that this type of hard disk (20 SC) needs the terminator if there is no other device connected. Anyway I tried to disconnect it but equally my plus does not recognize it. I have to turn on the HD when the plus...

I tried with both the System 3.2 and the System 3.3 following the procedure you described but unfortunately I don't see the HD in the finder. maybe I need the floppy called HD 20 startup?

Thanks Crutch, I immediately tried the configuration as you told me but my Macintosh Plus (turning on the HD first and then the Macintosh), does not start, or rather, starts but then resets immediately after to continue so indefinitely . I have tried HD with a Macintosh SE and it works. You told...
