    vnc viewer for OS 9

    1.Yes, I do have CarbonLib 1.6, as shown in Extension Manager in OS 9.2.2 2. On my System 7.6 (68k), I am using "VNC Viewer 0.1 by Tim Senecal". Since it says it's for 68k, I assumed it won't work on my PPC laptop running OS 9, so I never tried it on OS 9. Now since you asked, I tried it in...

    I do want to learn! However, I have an one month old baby that I have to attend to right now, which leaves very little time for me to do anything! I have now resorted to prayer ritual everytime before turning on my beloved Color Classic... everheard of baby sacrifice, hmm...

    Color Classic Screen Color Issue

    The screen of my Color Classic would intermittently go off color - as in the red would become greenish and so on. It was intermittent a few weeks ago, now it seems to be off color just almost all the time. Any idea what the problem is?

    how to check firmware version?

    Thanks. Got it. Also, Apple has an article on how to check firmwware version: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2568?viewlocale=en_US (Now I found out I don't have the latest firmware, I must go out to find a copy of OS 9. It's stupid that you have to run OS 9 to update the firmware.)

    I have a iBook G3 Clamshell Special Edition ( 466 MHz with Fireware port and DVD drive), running OS X 10.3.9. Is there a way to check which version of firmware I have on it? According to Apple ( http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1395 ), the latest firmware for the laptp is version 4.1.7. But you...

    I finally got around and put in a new battery: it did the trick. No more double chime/reboot.

    640CD: How to install DOS?

    Yes, the hdd is on the sled. But I resolved the issue by breaking off the plastic tab. So the front bezel is back on, hooked on by the remaining plastic tab on the left side. Not elegant, but it works. 8-o

    Tangerine iBook!

    I bought a graphite clamshell (466 MHz with 312MB of RAM, DVD, Firewire) off eBay two weeks ago for $120 (shipping included). I bought it solely for its unique shape/design. I put it on the floor in my living room as decoration only - with the shell half open and standing on the open shell, so...

    640CD: How to install DOS?

    Now I can't put the front bezel back on! This really bugs me! The stupid plastic tab has nowhere to go but to cut into the hdd power cable, it's gonna cut the power cable if I press too hard I'm afraid...

    640CD: How to install DOS?

    It turned out be a flaky floppy drive. I got it fixed and now I am running DOS 6.22, Windows for Workgroup 3.11 and Windows 95 all on the Peforma, side by side with System 7.6.1 That Intel 486 DX 2 processor is awesome. And Windows 95 kicks ass. By the way, it had nothing to do with partition...

    640CD: How to install DOS?

    I had the pleasure to pick up a Performa 640CD with DOS card for FREE! yesterday. This thing had its RAM upgraded to the max: 52 MB on the logic board and 32 MB on the DOS card. I played Doom and Wolfenstein 3D in DOS mode for a while. I have a 40 GB hard drive laying around, so I took out...

    startup chime twice on cold boot

    System 7.6.1. is exactly what I am booting, and exactly as shown in your video. Very interesting theory. (I am yet order a new battery, I shall find out in a few weeks)

    startup chime twice on cold boot

    I acquired this baby a few weeks ago and it came with a stock CC logic board, 10 Meg of RAM, a 700 MB Qauntum drive, and an Asante PDS LC ethernet card in it. And it came with this issue as-is. I have since put in a new logic board (LC 575 board), and it still does the same thing. And that...

    PRAM has been zapped. The hard drive has been reinitialized. It's a straightfoward clean install.

    startup chime twice on cold boot

    When my Color Classic starts from a cold boot, this is what happens: 1. Upon powering on, the Mac startup chime immediately sounds. 2. The screen then lights up, followed by the happy Mac appearing on the screen, 3. Immediately after the happy Mac appears, the computer reboots. 4. the Mac...
