    Anybody have the driver for a NuBus Jackhammer card?

    Tyler, I did find your page right off. When I click on the two files nothing happens. I am using a pc running Ubuntu. I will have to try again with a Mac. Thanks.

    Copy OS X to second hard drive

    It has to be cloned and not copied. SuperDuper and Carbon Copy Cloner are the ticket.

    Whitening a yellowed IICI: first step.

    I probably went 40% bleach. I rinsed then used a bit of Comet for a little abrasiveness, rinsed and bleached again. Let dry in hot sunshine. Worked good.

    DIMM doesn't fit in 7300...

    The 7200/120 isn't that bad. I think the bad rap stems from not being able to upgrade the processor till Sonnet came out with that weird G3 on a pci card upgrade. Positives for the 7200 in its day- You could put a decent amount of ram in its 4 slots. You could upgrade to 4 megs of vram. It was...

    How to get CPU out?

    Yeah, the key is working out each side a little bit till you have it nearly all the way out. Then grab it on two sides and gently lift it up/

    Whitening a yellowed IICI: first step.

    Don't apologize. You speak good English. Great job on the IIci. I have had luck using a solution of bleach and leaving the Mac in the sun to make mildly yellowed cases come back to life.

    DIMM doesn't fit in 7300...

    I can attest to frying a 7200/120 board with EDO dimms.

    Anybody use a Linux machine as their main desktop machine?

    It has made strides. I remember installing PPC Linux in 1999-2000. It was barely usable.

    Anybody use a Linux machine as their main desktop machine?

    My mother had a pc running XP. She surfed and paid her bills on it. My nephew installed limewire and download some stuff. Whatever it was it basically hijacked her computer. The computer started flashing porno, it actually shouted obscenities, swear words flashed on the screen etc... The...

    Another this weekend - Umax S900

    No, the master cpu would work if you dropped it in a 7500 or 8500 or 9500. The second cpu was the proprietary cpu. The two cpu's were attached by a ribbon cable. The cpu's could be mixed and matched. The main cpu could be a 233 MHz with a 46 MHz bus speed. The secondary cpu could be 200 MHz with...

    Hotline Servers... Anyone still use them?

    Hotline was in its day a great little piece of software. For its intended use it was nifty. I used to transfer files between my Mac's and it toasted regular file sharing for network copy speed.

    Anybody use a Linux machine as their main desktop machine?

    I like the idea of being able to use old hardware and it satisfies my urge to tinker. I scrounged most the box at my town dump. The motherboard slips my mind but the processor is an Athlon 2200 or something like that. I threw a gig of repurposed ram, a 80 gig drive and a 64 meg nVidia card in...

    Anybody use a Linux machine as their main desktop machine?

    I have been forced to because I am waiting for an replacement psu from eBay for my G4. I have been using Mint Linux. Its pretty good. All the stuff to watch DVD's and stuff is part of the install. Getting restricted drivers is simple. Install was painless. Wireless set up was very easy...

    Another this weekend - Umax S900

    There is nothing more disappointing then a dual processor Mac that runs the classic Mac OS. Totally worthless except for a few Photoshop functions. The highlight in the case of the Umax was when running the Umax DP Libraries you saw a cool looking extension load when you booted the Mac.

    It should. Is the card is good? What is happening? Did you seat the card well?
