I recently got two SE/30s. One had a battery bombed motherboard which had pretty bad corrosion and is out of repair in my opinion. The other motherboard was not touched by corrosion but was showing the Simasimac issue. I am not an expert at soldering but I did a couple of successful recapping...

Hi, I have a Personal LaserWriter 300 that works perfectly with my PM 9500 when using its original PPC 604 processor. However, when I replace the CPU card with a PowerLogix G3 500MHz upgrade, the computer cannot communicate with the printer anymore. I have the same issue with a Sonnet G4...

Here is more work I have been doing with my 9500. All the 2D drawings, animating and cleaning have been made on the 9500 running system 7. The compositing was made with Blender on my Linux box. I managed to make my cintiq 18SX work on the 9500 so now this old computer has become the drawing...

I made my long time dream come true! I have maxed out my 9500 with 12 128MB sticks. :)   One of them is a little different but it has the exact same specs as the others so it should be well interleaved.    I opened the applications I use the most with plenty of RAM and still have some room for...

I have tried to do some scripting with applescript on my 9500 (System 7.6.1) and I am always having the same error. This is a strange one and it is always coming back when I try to run a script (even the most simple script). Has anyone ever had this error? Is it something that wasn't installed...

When I have a crash on my system 7, I can notice "Rescued Items" in the trash. I was just wondering if those files represent the state of the RAM before the crash and if they are still usable? I crashed my system while photoshop was open. There is a rescued file called "Photoshop Temp24162" but...

A quick question : Is there a way to get a print preview of the page I am about to print on System 7? Just to check if everything fits well on the page. Thanks! :)

I have setup an appletalk network between Mac OS X / Linux and System 7.6.1 When opening a shared folder from System 7, is there a way to tell the finder to always open the .txt files created on the Unix systems with something other than SimpleText? (For example BBEdit Lite) SimpleText doesn't...

I haven't used my 6100 for a very long time. Today, I tried to boot it up but it didn't want to. The green light goes on and I could hear the hard drive spinning but there was no startup chime and no picture on the screen.  The computer has some RAM and a brand new battery in it. The hard drive...

Hi, I am trying to install NetBSD on my 9500 (with a G4 upgrade). In fact, I managed to install the system but I am unable to boot it from open firmware. Right after installing NetBSD on my hard drive, I tried to boot from open firmware but the computer seemed to freeze at this point : 0...

Hi, I have been benchmarking my upgraded 9500 (G4/700) just to see how it did compare to other models (or basically to the original 9500). I used macbench 5.0 under 7.6.1 but it only let me test the CPU and the hard drive. So, I tried to run the tests with 2 different hard drives. One is the...

Hi, I have a technical question about C++ coding. I don't know if it's the best place to ask this kind of thing here but I know that some of you are expert in classic programming so I ask! :) In my effort to do a JSON lib for our old macs running 7+ systems, I ended up with a problem and I...

Hi, As this is my first post on the forum, I will first introduce myself : My name is François, I am 33 and I am from France. I am a Mac fan since I'm a kid and I have a small collection of macs including 68Ks, PPCs (old / new) and an Intel mac. There is one mac that I still use almost...
