Is there a way i can backup my Indigo G3 iMac as I am going to have to place it in storage with a friend and the machine was supplied without restore disks.
The machine only has 10.3 so i cant use Time Machine
Is there a Mac eqivalent to Norton Ghost where i can clone the machine onto DVDs...
Although I may have stated this problem in some other thread it's about time I asked for advice on what to do with said machines.
I have two G3 machines sitting idle at home. I have a beige G3 233mhz with 192mb ram but I need to restore the hard drive as I screwed it using XPostFacto as i...
Maybe it's just me but I have yet to find a great use for my G3s of which I have two. Both the Indigo iMac and the beige 233 I have gather dust I have not found a task they excel at. Maybe I am just fussy or am missing something. Probably would be more practical with more memory as they both...
I guess I could. I admit I have not programmed anything in over 20 years but I could use my G3 iMac with OS 9.2.2 to have a go will take this two weeks to investigate.
The great Frankenstein lead may have to return out of hiding :)
I would love to enter but there is a few flaws
1. The oldest machine other than a ZX Spectrum +2 is a Newton 2100
2. I have no engineering or programming skills.
3. If I used the Newton I would have no idea what to do with it :)
Unless I could figure something todo with the pb1400 under...
I am a sad man who actually planned an OS called CrossPlatform. The idea was a complete VP type OS so you could have Windows, Mac, Amiga and many other platforms on one desktop. Basically I know you could do it with emulators but the idea was to do the multiple pass interpretation like the DEC...
Screen cost me £7.27 from eBay
How nice to have an old friend back ... Ok Front bezel claims to be a 1400C/133 when it's in fact a 1400/166 was a cs but the Active Matrix screen is much brighter :)
I am a happy bunny ... Ok it's only got 16Mb but that's more than enough for Wordperfect 3.5e...
Just connected my Newton 2100 to my G3 iMac via the most bizarre route but it does work ...
Route is : -
USB to serial adaptor
9 pin serial to apple din serial adapter
apple serial lead (3 foot long)
apple serial to Newton interconnect adapter
can't backup Newton but can install packages...
i do know what i am talking about ... two reasons
1 the iMac does not have an adb/serial connection so problem
2 I had an adapter which converted to usb the newton communication seems to fail with all settings.
Before you start accusing make sure you are talking to someone with little or no...
Welcome to the world of Newton ... I have a 2100 sitting on my desk at home it gets the occasional use (criminal I know) I would probably use it more if my Powerbook 1400 was not broken as I can't connect to it using the iMac it's too fast.
I would like to download the unna archive but their...
I have just bought an indigo G3 400mhz (slot loader cd model) off eBay for £10
Sure I admit it's not as if they are not readily available but it's my first owning of an iMac
Off to play :)
Just opened my Powerbook 1400 cs/166 which admittedly has been sitting idle for a while to find my LCD totally splintered not a happy bunny ...
I have found various sites selling replacements but what I want to know is ... Is it worth paying that little extra to get an active matrix screen...
