Is there a decent way to change the colors of the menu bar/window borders/etc. on Mac OS 9? There were tools for older versions e.g. Greg's Buttons. I'm guessing this isn't possible with Appearance Manager. Or, could someone point me towards a resource on doing this with an Appearance Manager...

Is there a dump of the firmware of the 8748 chip that's used in the M0110A keyboard? I have an M0110A with a damaged chip and would like to restore it to working order. Online I've found dumps of the M0110 ROM but not the -A. Are the ROM contents the same?

I believe Tenon may have shipped a broken version of ManTen with MachTen 2.3. Professional MachTen is basically a 4.3BSD running on top of Mach on top of Mac OS. ManTen is a HyperCard viewer for the man pages shipped with the distribution. If you don't know about the structure of MachTen, then...

I'm trying to get a network up using macipgw and an AsantePrint, and it actually fully works on the Mac side of things, but it doesn't seem to work through Professional MachTen. I have the networking pane configured properly (at0 IP 172.16.2.2, gateway 172.16.2.1, DNS 8.8.8.8, search domain...

I took my iMac G3 out and it boots up to a blinking folder, but it won't boot anything. If I try to boot any CD I get a DEFAULT CATCH code 70, and it won't boot off of the disk either. I used my G5 and Target Disk Mode to install Tiger on the machine but it won't boot from that or find it in the...

Was there ever a developer CD for OS X Server 1.2(v3)? I'd imagine there was, but I've never seen it online. Anyone have some info on this?

Does anyone have X11 working in Professional MachTen (2.3)? You're supposed to be able to launch it from within `wind` by pressing Command+T but for me everything but the menu bar turns white and then the X server just exits with no messages or logs.

I have an SE/30 here that randomly Checkerboards/SimasiMacs (if it hasn't been on for a while, it's pretty much guaranteed to be "fine" and boot up though). Here's a picture of one time it's done it: https://i.imgur.com/6kjM9nh.jpg Sometimes there are patterns that appear closer to SimasiMacs...

Here you can see Half-Life running on my PowerBook G4 I got from CC_333 a while ago. Most of the bugs you'll notice are due to things not patched for big endian yet.

Hey all, I'm having issues with dual booting a regular Mac OS system + A/UX. I have the A/UX part working, the issue is that it refuses to boot from the Mac OS system disk. When I select it with the Startup control panel and reboot, it reboots off of the MacPartition anyway. Here is a picture of...

I am having trouble getting files (specifically tar files) over to my SE/30 running A/UX. I try to transfer them over floppy using HFVExplorer but it destroys the files, even when I do it as a supposedly raw copy. They are not able to be extracted. Tar xvf (file) displays nothing with the files...

Picked up an SE/30 with no sound. I'm guessing I'm going to need to recap it. For now, I've cleaned the board, upgraded it from 5 MB of RAM to 8 MB (best I could get it to with what I have on hand), installed a ROM-inator II, and put in a SCSI2SD. I've installed A/UX 3.0.1. I'd like to...

I can't seem to get BeOS 5 burned properly so as to show the proper Mac OS part of the disk. I have tried with the bin/cue image and a toast image. I have burned with Imgburn, CDBurnerXP, PowerISO, and Brasero to no avail. Any ideas? I can't seem to find much info on this. Thanks.

For many .sit files on my System 7.6.1 machine, I get The application "unknown" has unexpectedly quit, because an error of type 3 occured. I get this for almost every .sit that I've tried. Haven't found any info online that's been much help. Anyone know how I can resolve this?

A few days ago I received a Umax SuperMac S900 that came with a Sonnet Ultra ATA66 installed which is being used for the hard disk,  zip drive, and optical drive. However, it appears to have failed. An IDE cable that I had to move was stuck within the card so I had to remove it with more force...

I have a G5 that works fine with OS X, but I can't get Linux to work. I've tried Debian 8.7.0, Debian 8.8.0, and Debian 7.11.0. None of them will work properly. This happens when it tries to boot: https://youtu.be/d2ca9H1ehls It just says loading second stage bootstrap and then just shows an...

Hey, I received a G5 2x2.0 GHz last Friday and decided to post here. I got it for $60 dollars (seller was giving it away, I just paid packaging/shipping). I put a 500 GB SanDisk SSD in it and installed Leopard on that as well as a 500 GB 7200 RPM drive running Tiger. Let me know if you guys have...

On this eBay listing, there is a Color Classic with 14 MB of RAM being shown in About This Mac. I would think the board was maybe swapped with a CCII/LC 550 board, but it still says it's a Mac Color Classic. What is going on here? It might be a noobish question, but did they swap it with a...

I have a Color Classic that I need to be running 7.1 on (not 7.5) but I don't know how to get anything on to it. I can use floppies, but most stuff is bigger. None of the browsers I can get onto it will browse to anything. I do have an ethernet card installed. I have fetch, but I can't find an...

I recently got this Color Classic and it has just started exhibiting this issue today. The screen will go from its normal color to purple (and flicker a bunch sometimes) and then back repeatedly during use. I recorded a video so you can see what I mean. I'm guessing it might have something to do...
