I have my Quicksilver G4 here, and I installed 9.2.2 on it a little while ago. It has a problem that's been bothering me, and now finally enough to post on it. How long does OS9 take to boot up for you? I think there is something broken with my install. I get the bong, then the happy mac, then...

Well, this is surely somewhat of an oddity, as far as topics in this Conquests forum goes, but, I thought it would be appropriate to put it here. So, I bought a projector recently. It is a Proxima Ultralight LS2. Now, you might be thinking, "Cool! It's a projector. But, how exactly does this...

Hello, So, I got my first 040 powered system recently! I really like it! It started life as an ordinary Performa 638CD. In its factory configuration, the machine was pretty fast, with its 33MHz LC040. I have been busy though with upgrades. 128MB RAM SIMM in the SIMM slot, for a total of...

Trash rightfully told me to move my discussion of the ADB port switch thing to the peripherals forum. The discussion spawned out of this: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/30470-retro-usb-input-converter-for-keyboards-and-mice/ Here is what we got so far. I made a logic diagram  ...

Hello everyone! How would you guys like a program that allows you to track your USPS, FedEx, UPS, etc. letter/package from your classic Macintosh? It would use MacTCP to communicate, and I am hoping it will run on System 6.0.8 (and newer), making it usable also on 68000-based compacts. It will...

How can I burn it using the *.iso from the Garden. Instructions for Linux would be preferable, but if you know an easy way to burn it on Windows that would be nice. I have gone through 5 different disks burning them different ways, none of them work on my 630 (which has an internal 2X CD-ROM...

Going to wiki.68kmla.org doesn't work, going to 68kmla.org/wiki/ doesn't work. Clicking the rules tab, or the rules thing at the top of the forum listing leads to a 404 error. Probably related to the host changes, but wanted to throw this out there.

Can a SCSI hard drive be attached to the SCSI bus that is used for the CD-ROM drive? I know it comes with an IDE drive; which I plan on keeping, I was just wondering if I could stuff in a second HDD (the one I am thinking of would be SCSI). Oh, and I would also like to keep the CD-ROM drive...

So, I can't get any version of System 7 to boot on this machine, which is frustrating. I have tried 7.0.1, 7.1, 7.5, none of them boot. Of course, System 6.0.8 works perfectly (go figure!). Now, this problem was present before my recap, but I thought that recapping and cleaning my logic board...

Hi all, First order of business, is this a IIsi/IIfx ROM SIMM? It seems like it has the potential to be one. back side: And second order of business. I noticed that my SE/30's Video ROM is a little different than most. Most don't have a paper label placed on top of the ROM chip, and most...

I'm sure this topic has been asked many times, but I want to know everyone's latest thoughts on the matter. System 7.1 seems to be slightly more lightweight than 7.5, but is it really a significant difference? I realize that almost all of the functionality in 7.5 can be added to 7.1.1 by...

While I have had this video card for exactly a week now, I finally got the VGA adaptor required to plug a VGA monitor into the DB15 connector! Now, I was a little worried about how my modern flat panel monitor would react to the video card's output, but it seems to like the signal just fine...

I got a Macintosh SE/30, that I paid $120 for. Its in working condition with a 2GB HDD, 68MB of RAM, System 7.0.1 Disks, as well as ADB keyboard, and this surprised me, an ADB optical mouse. It has a socketed CPU. For good measure, he put in a TORX driver for the screws behind the handle...

Hi all, My Macintosh SE FDHD's floppy drive has been acting a little strange recently. When accessing the floppy drive, or using it to boot a System disk, it will occasionally make what kinda sounds like knocking. Sometimes it will do it continuously and the only way to stop it is to use the...
