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...

I have some games that I would like to extract the app icon from. How can I do this? Can it be done with Resedit? If so, how?

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 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...

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...

I have a lot of PC133 RAM laying around from various PCs I've parted out. I thought I would use it to bring my Power Mac G4 Sawtooth up to 1GB from 640MB. So, I put the RAM in, hooked it back up and turned it on...but it made a horrible staticy sound instead of the startup chime and it never...

I just got a PowerMac G4 Sawtooth (more on that here) that had an install of 10.4 Tiger along with Mac OS 9.0.4. I wanted to update the Mac OS 9 install to 9.2.2, so I installed the OS 9.1 update. That went flawlessly, no problems there. But after installing the OS 9.2.1 update it hangs after it...

Yesterday, I found a garage sale on craigslist that claimed to have "Mac computers". So I went to it. There, sitting on a table was a Power Mac G4 tower with a $10 price tag on it. Ended up getting it for $5 because it didn't have a power cord, but that wasn't a problem. No way was I going to...

Can I make my Macintosh Plus play "Chariots of Fire" like the original Macintosh did in the 1984 Macintosh Introduction? Was it really the Macintosh itself that played the song?

I have been searching for a Mini DIN 8 to DB9 cable to use as a null modem cable from my Macintosh Plus. Would an Imagewriter II 590-0332-b cable work for this? Do I need a null modem adaptor? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Is it possible to customize the OS 9 boot screen? Something like changing the logo and text? I can't find anything about this.

I would't like for the OS 9 install on my PB 1400cs to be as up to date as possible. The Software Update control panel doesn't work. Aside from installing the OS 9.0.4 update, what else do I need to install to have my OS 9 install as up to date as it can be? Since the 1400cs is a nubus machine...

Is it possible to develop for 68k Macs on my MacBook running Mavericks? If now, my iBook G4 or iMac G4 (can boot OS 9) running Tiger? Basically, if possible, I would like to develop for 68k Macs, mostly for System 6 on a Macintosh Plus on a modern(ish) Mac. Is this possible? If so, what tools...

About 9 days ago, my 1400cs froze while I was using it so I restarted it and it would no longer boot. I booted off the OS 9 CD and it offered to initialize the disk. I declined and ran Disk First Aid on the disk. Note that I am using a 2GB Compact Flash card via a Compact Flash to IDE adaptor as...

How would I set up a localtalk network between my PowerBook 1400cs and my Macintosh Plus? It it as simple as connected the two with a serial cable and choosing the computer from the Chooser? Do I need any special equipment?

There's a really irritating problem with floppies used on my 1400cs. Whenever I use a floppy on the 1400cs, that floppy refuses to work with my USB floppy drive and possibly other drives. It claims that it needs to be formatted, but putting it back in the 1400cs it works fine. It does the same...

I'm trying to make a boot disk with CopyRoms on it so I can get the ROM from my Macintosh Plus. Immediately after making the disk with Disk Copy it boots in the Plus no problem. But as soon as I mount in the finder on OS 9.1 to put the copyroms program on there, the plus refuses to but from it...
