I know this could be filed under a hardware but it's technically software related. I just found my old CD-R/RW that Ricoh made a few years back (I got it in '98 or early '99!)and curiously, in order for it to mount CD's (and burn under Toast) I actually needed to have the APPLE CD/DVD Driver...

Good news: I got a lovely 81/110 for only $10! Bad news: there were some "video" problems that turned out to be a leaked Backup Battery. The owner said it would work but just had the video problem...well now I know it maybe a bit harder than that. Any way to salvage the motherboard? I...

I am now the owner of a 1GHz TiBook. What I'm curious about is, it has a 1GHz G4 and can boot into OS9 (pretty nifty), although I hadn't played much around in OS9 (just got it and really am so used to OSX that my most of my work resides in OSX specific apps...like IWork and such). Does anyone...

I just had to share. I've had a string of bad luck with a 2400c I had so I bought a cheapo "parts machine" off of eBay awhile back and thought it'd be good to change out the boards and what not. The cheapo in and of itself turned out to be FULLY FUNCTIONAL with, get this, the 240 MHz G3 NuPowr...

I've been looking high and low for this piece of software. HyperChina was a lovely piece of software that was created in the mid 1990's by SinoLogic software (based out of Berkeley, CA) by I think some Chinese Graduate students who wanted a better product to teach Chinese. Anyways, it was made...

I'm at my wit's end and thought I'd give it a shot on this forum. I have two hard drives, one an external WD Passport 120GB that was formatted for Mac and the other is an internal (converted to external USB) Fujitsu 60GB hard drive that originally came with my PB 12". These drives used to...

Hey Guys: This doesn't really apply to Marketplace but my Superdrive is on the fritz. It can't really read discs well and has been burning duds for the last month. I think I need a new one (it's 4 yrs old so...yea) but how can I find out which replacement CD and DVD writers are compatible out...

For owners of 2400c's, I've been having an issue with my 2400c. I had GLOD but I figured out how to get out of it, which works for my 2400c. Now, whenever I shut down, and leave for ~24 hours, it won't boot unless I plug the PB into power adapter, and keep the PRAM-Reset Button pressed for some...

I am just inquiring right now, but I was wondering what this forum's thoughts are concerning the pros and cons of G5 versus Intel. I don't necessarily need the latest and the greatest hardware (not hardcore Mac Pro with quad cores or anything) I see the following pros for G5: PPC which means...

Just wondering what websites do you guys know of where I can buy used vintage mac software? I know of retrosoftware.com and welovemacs.com but any others? Just trying to see what old software piques my interest from the good old days. Thanks!

I am curious about finding drivers or shareware drivers that can let me use the newer printers (like Canon's Pixma printers) in OS9 or even 8? I haven't used those OS's in awhile, but I have older OS8/9 compatible macs that I'd like to print from to my newer printers. Any help?

2400c 180/80 1400c/166 Free 9600/300 (500+ MB of Ram, but forgot the #) Free ATI Rage 128 PCI, Geforce4 AGP Card, Random SCSI PCI Card Techtool Pro 4 ($10!) Free WGS 8150 (it's just sitting there...) Free ANS 700/132 (needs a new power supply) w00t! While I paid a pretty penny for the...

These forums are so great for help so here's a dilly of a pickle: I have a Pismo that I just got and initialized the HD and zeroed all data. I have a retail copy of Jaguar which I attempted to install on it. After installation (base install, no localized languages etc..) I reboot and it gets...

Subject says it all. I have a 9600 with a stock card that seems to be going bad (the screen is displaying really odd ghosting pattern). What PCI cards can I get that have drivers (somewhere on the internet) for MacOS 8-9? I've been out of the PCI graphics card world for so long I am really...

I got a chance to get these two gems for a good price plus an Apple Performa display (meh....) and some Apple Extended II Keyboards. Not bad. Ok, here's the bad news: They're both REALLY filthy, the Quadra's case was held together by duct tape and it looked like it had MELTED! The 8500 powered...

Didn't know where to file this under but I was thinking about the PB 3400c... Back in it's day it was an industrial beast (touted the "fastest" laptop on the planet with a big pricetag to boot). I vaguely recall that there was a PCMCIA module that was hooked up to a box where you can plug in...

I found on eBay awhile back a "non functioning" 500 MHz Pismo for $60 shipped. Used my standard Pismo plug and voila, it booted up! Those 500MHz's are hard to find, came with factory HD and RAM, DVD ROM drive, etc. and appeared to have belonged to a teacher. Perfect pristine case and all! Today...

I have the opportunity to buy two Power Tower Pros...should I pay alot (~$100)? I mean they're cool and all but that price is ridic...what are they worth really? They're not StarMax or a Radius system but still they are a part of mac history.... your thoughts please!

Hey Folks: I don't know if this is old news or not but I thought it'd be nifty for all the OpenStep fans. Apple posted at least the boot and install floppy images with instructions on how to make real floppies (using Unix instructions to write the img files to floppy drive) from them. It's not...

Folks on these forums are so helpful thought I'd get more help... I found a Pismo 500 (awesome, always wanted one) and I didn't have the Yo-yo adapter so I used my 1400c's power adapter. It won't power up. This may be a dumb question but could it be that Yoyo's are backwards compatible, but...
