I am giving my Newton MP 2100 to a friend and I want to remove any and all personal data on it beforehand. Is there an easy way to reset it back to factory settings/data. I do not have a connection cable for it, only the unit itself and a memory expansion card. Ideas?
No problem. Probably will be clearing more stuff out this summer. The 6500 I had did have the multicolored fan, however the dirt on it reminded me more of grease, oil, or metal dust. It was all black and the dirt inside was black and oily. That's why I thought it was from an industrial site...
The 6500 originally came from Temetka, but it was so stained (must have been in an industrial setting at one time) that I decided to paint it. After getting it that far, I kinda wish I had gone all satin black. :/
Hope you get some good use out of the stuff. I can send you the hard drives...
My 12/640 PS only had 6200 pages on it when I picked it up off ebay a few years back. Came with the 500 sheet cassette and duplexer. :p
Nice find though, and you can't beat the price. I have a 4/600 and its a dang nice printer.
I believe I ended up googling the issue and then downloading a small installer someone put together with the files needed from Win 2k. I didn't have a Win 2k installation running when I wanted to get it going again, so I did it that way.
Here's what Google comes up with:
Hard way...
That's what mine is called, "Workhorse". I got mine off ebay a few years back with the duplexer and extra 500 sheet paper tray. It had only printed 7000 pages too. They are damn nice. I got mine working with XP by copying the Appletalk files over from Win 2k, and I use it under Tiger...
Polarized lenses make everything brighter, in my experience, yet its easier on the eyes than the non-polarized light. I love them. You normally get them as sun glasses though. I had them as magnetic "clip-ons" for my glasses back when I still wore them (I broke them in the shop one day and...
I just fired up mine that I got off a forum member here and its display is nice and straight. I've never see the problem you speak of. Perhaps its just a problem with one version of the eMac? BTW, mine is the USB 2.0 version with the 1.25ghz processor.
Appletalk can connect through the ethernet port along with the TCP/IP control panel. I have all my old machines set up that way with absolutely no problems.
Can't really say, but I do have a pile of them over there -----> in the corner. I'd have to say the cards I got from a friend that are for hooking up laboratory equipment to the computer. I don't remember what they are called anymore.
I do have them as matched pairs. The only one not matched is the 8mb chip. I could get more ram for it, but the few times I use it makes it really not worth the money for me.
Currently this:
Power Macintosh 9600/300
450 MHZ Sonnet G3 upgrade
424 MB memory (a wierd combo of 64, 32, 16, and 8 MB chips)
9 GB Quantum 50 pin SCSI hard drive
50 GB Seagate SCSI hard drive (80 pin with an adapter card for 50 and 68 pin connections)
SCSI Zip 100 drive
Basic 24x CD...
ITS ALIVE! MUUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! }:)
Swapped in another Rage 128 and it booted. Booted to OS 9 from the hard drive, this being the same hard drive that wanted to boot to OS X every other time. I am typing this message on my awesome 9600/450(G3) using my favorite keyboard, the Apple...
Well, this is weird. On a whim, I left it on all night and tried it again this morning. Still no dice. So, I replaced the video card (Rage 128 from a B&W) with my Radeon 7000 and it booted, but now I am not getting any response from the screen at all. It no longer comes out of standby...
Hmmm... The thing about going into open firmware is possible. What worries me is that it won't accept the reset PRAM key command anymore. It worked for one chime and then it just stopped chiming. I let go of the keys and it has displayed this problem ever since. I currently have two hard...
