The disk that came with my Macintosh Plus when I got it 7 years ago had System 6.0.3, MacWrite Sampler and Sample MacPaint on it. These are versions of MacWrite and MacPaint that have the opening and saving features disabled, but otherwise function. I can't seem to find any information about...
My PowerMac G4 (Sawtooth) has two Adaptec SCSI cards in it. A AHA-2930CU MAC and a AVA-2906. The AVA-2906 card has a DB-25 connector on it. I was wondering, is there a way to make the PowerMac G4 act as a hard drive for my Macintosh Plus? Also, could I connect the two computers together via SCSI...
I have an opportunity to get an ImageWriter II and I have a few questions about it.
Would I be able to connect it to my Macintosh Plus or PowerBook 1400cs with my PhoneNet adaptors?
Can I use normal printer paper with it? I don't own tractor feed paper.
I have the Windows version of the original Unreal Tournament (not GOTY). I want to play it on my PowerMac G4 under OS 9. I have the demo of UT99 on the PowerMac G4, and it runs really well. I want the full version on the PowerMac G4. My question is, is it possible to turn the Mac demo into the...
Is it possible to modify the OS X boot screen that is present in 10.4 Tiger and earlier? I'm talking about the one after the grey apple screen, with the apple logo and "Mac OS X" text and the progress bar. This screen. I found this old hint from 2001, but the mentioned BootPanel.pdf file doesn't...
I think I am going to contact the seller, explain the situation and see what happens. The auction states that they don't accept returns, but I'll try. If i'm stuck with it, I'd like to fix it as a summer project, I don't have the time to devote to it now. I fixed my Macintosh Plus back in the...
I purchased a M0131 800K external floppy drive from ebay and received it today. In the auction description it states that the drive reads and writes fine, but that the electronic eject mechanism is not functioning. Now that I have it, it seems like the whole mechanism is stuck down like there is...
I seemed to have fixed the problem. I updated from 9.2.1 to 9.2.2 with the all of the ATI extensions turned off. After successfully upgrading to 9.2.2, I re-enabled all of the ATI extensions (with the exception of the Rage 128 accelerator) and it now boots to the desktop without freezing.

My G4 Sawtooth came with an ATI Radeon 7500 in it. After updating to 9.2.1 from 9.1, the machine freezes at the desktop unless I disable all ATI extensions. I need those extensions since I have an ATI Radeon 7500. I went looking for a driver for this card, but I can't seem to find one anywhere...
Sorry to revive this old topic, but I finally found my original Mac OS 9.0 CD and did a clean install of Mac OS 9 on the the G4 Sawtooth. Updated it from 9.0 to 9.0.4 no problem, then from 9.0.4 to 9.1, also without issue. But as soon as I updated from 9.1 to 9.2.1, the freeze problem returned...
I removed all but one of the original RAM sticks (the 256MB PC133 stick in the 1st slot) and it finally displayed video and booted up. It would seem that one of the original sticks or one of the slots are bad. However, prior to removing them the first time, all the slots were occupied and all of...
