Yikes! Hope that'll fix it. Console5 now has a kit available if you don't have the spare caps laying around and want the set. I just received two sets, one for the main 240 MHz one that I'm putting all my efforts into, and another for the 180 MHz spare part machine in case I want to dig in and...

Yeah; in my case I just love the vibe of the little circle speakers; I have more attachment to them since I played through all of Myst III and Myst IV on that iMac with those speakers. Only a couple people I knew had the sound sticks. I was jealous of that setup (especially with the iSub) but it...

Ah... after posting this, I found a thread on MacRumors: Pro speakers cable extension It looks like there was actually a different set of Apple Pro Speakers for the Mac Pro (TIL), and they had a longer cable than the iMac set. Sheesh! I should be able to extend the cables, though, and that...

I remembered the old family iMac G4 had a set of Apple Pro Speakers, and they sounded pretty good. The setup was nice, too—you just pop the plug into the jack on the iMac, and set the speakers on the side. No power required, and they sounded better than my old Altec-Lansing pair even without a...

I've also tried enabling guest access with: [Global] uam list = uams_guest.so guest account = pi And after restarting netatalk, I was able to log into the share from the 3400c... however, after trying some file copies, Finder would freeze after copying around half a MB of files. I also tried...

I'm running Mac OS 8.6, and have installed AppleShare Client 3.8.8. With older AppleShare Client versions (including the one that was built-in with 8.6), I would get the error about the "User Authentication Method" not being found :(

Ah, didn't realize that! I know of the 2032 bug, didn't know what OS release would actually start fixing things. I guess Apple didn't intend for their Macs to last more than 2-3 decades, ha!

MacsBug shows "Error logging in", but nothing else really helpful there. All under 'Chooser'. One thing I wonder is do I need to somehow upgrade anything else besides the AppleShare Client if I want to use TCP + AppleTalk with netatalk on 8.6? I also noticed the system resets to 1904, and...

Haven't tried that, but will!

I've been trying to get my PowerBook 3400c to connect to a netatalk 3.x-based AppleTalk server over TCP. I have Ethernet connected to my switch, and I can get an IP address using DHCP. When I try to connect to the netatalk AFP share in Chooser, I get the error message: I tried installing...

Ah, good! That seller will hopefully be able to give the PSU a second life. I haven't tried one of that kind of adapter, but I imagine they should work okay too.

Another echo of that sentiment, but I've found the Startech.com model (I bought it on Amazon) works most reliably, and allows setting Cable Select—a couple other ones I've tried don't have that and only allow choosing Master/Slave... which would cause my MDD to not boot sometimes (not sure why)...

Definitely! I pulled the PRAM battery immediately—luckily there was zero residue except inside the little connector, which I pulled out since I won't be installing another battery in here.

True; I've also emailed Console5, and they may put together a kit for the 3400c, like they have for a number of other old Macs: https://console5.com/store/computer-cap-kits/mac-68k-cap-kits/mac-laptop-cap-kits.html Also, just as an update—I wanted to test out another RAM expansion card in my...

Wow, that's a rare capacity, I've been snooping around for another RAM expansion card for my machine after running into some memory quirks, and people are asking $80+ for just the 16MB module on eBay! Nice work on the recaps—if you don't mind my asking, do you remember what caps you used? I'm...
