    You know, I'm actually not sure that the multia would be any worse at basic file services than the alphastation I've got, I suppose it'd depend on what internal and external storage it allows. And, you can argue how much that matters with modern SCSI replacers... hmmmm

    Quadra 840AV video problem

    That monitor looks like it may be a performa plus display, but, that display was built by an OEM for, in addition to Apple, other OEMs like packard bell and I believe it may have sold separately. If it is the Apple Performa Plus display, it should work fine with the 840av. That said: the way...

    Ah totally fair - are there even a bunch yet? I imagine if so a lot of 'em are power users or developers who should never have bought an 8/16g config to begin with and those'll have been "ridden hard".

    (the dynamic on the windows side of things is weird for sure because buying a used 8th gen i5 OEM system and upgrading it, even "modestly" like to 16/512, is likely to cost more than a brand new N100/16/512 micro PC from amazon, so the only "value" is if you know up front you need even more than...

    When you say "value" - do you mean, you don't think M-series/Apple Silicon is interesting, or lifecycle, or, are prices lower than you're expecting, or is this purely about after-the-fact internal flexibility upgrades like RAM/SSD? I'd expect minimum +5 years from today of additional life out...

    Looking for scheduled reboot utility

    That's basically it. OS9 stability is assisted massively by regular reboots. Most period resources recommended a literal daily reboot for anybody running their machines full-time, and many use cases recommended reboots between running different tasks. In my case - on a bunch of my machines if 9...

    re bundle(s) inside retail software..

    Do you have any more details about what you're looking at? Some software (Photoshop feels like a good example in this context) has multiple concurrent versions that are sometimes included with different packages, e.g. a lot of scanners bundled Photoshop LE for basic image cleanup/manipulation...

    Open with Classic

    Stationery pad is the classic mac os term for a template, so each time you run it it's making a copy for your further use. I'm not aware, when something is compatible with both, of a way to force something to run in Classic Mode, and for almost any software that can (e.g. Photoshop 7, Final Cut...

    Grape iMac DV Revival

    My apologies for the delay, I've removed a couple things to keep this going. Good luck with your iMac @CYB3RBYTE - it looks like a beautiful system!

    Quicksilver needs a firmware update for Sonnet Encore ST 1.6Ghz?

    My apologies for the delay on this. This is now resolved/closed.

    Problems with external hard disk

    Does System Profiler see the disk? If not, unfortunately it's probably what it looks like your'e thinking: the bus on the iBook may not provide enough power. A viable work-around to this may be to use a powered USB hub. (This is probably the cheapest option.) (EDIT: just saw your other thread...

    Why is my Emac so reliable?

    +1: the eMac was pretty massively overbuilt as part of having been designed and sold for K-12 education in particular. It's also 10+ years newer than the Classic and PB140, and also not a laptop. W/re iMac G3s: it's probably just the luck of the draw but slotloading CD drives are less...

    Imac g5 1.6

    Is there a red light coming out the headphone port? And, does the volume control let you adjust the volume or just say it's using digital output? If so, it thinks there's a TOSLINK cable connected, you may need to clean the connector or spritz it with some compressed air. (or, if you have an...

    TNT and Nitro Board Variations

    I'd have to look at some other notes, but you're right, these are all largely the same platform, with various features added and removed per the needs of the product Apple was trying to create at the moment. Off hand, the one thing to be aware of is that while in theory any of these boards...

    Hey everyone, We're back. and the site should be stable. As ever, thank you so much for your patience on this kind of thing! The site uses a MySQL Database-as-a-Service product from a well known cloud provider. Unfortunately the cloud provider totally biffed our DBaaS instance. We have...
