    G3 iMac 4X DVD (slot load) problems (678-0232)

    I found and read the excellent slot-loading rebuild guide, but that guide is really for the common problem of the discs not ejecting.

    Print to HP Laserjet directly via serial (IIci or Mac Plus)

    I'm looking to connect either my IIci or Mac Plus to my HP Laserjet 4050 directly via serial. Is this possible to do without any special drivers? If so, does anyone have a cable pinout they can share? I've tried a few variations and not having any luck. I'm using the mini-DIN8 port with the...

    Moving files from OSX to Mac Plus 6.0.8 via FTP

    Hi all - I've revived a multi-year project to get my Mac Plus online via ethernet (Asante EN/SC) and have finally succeeded in getting it to speak IP natively! I expected it to be relatively easy to move files from the internet onto the machine, by hopping through my OSX laptop, but finding it...
