I had started a Numbers spreadsheet of all of the versions of CodeWarrior using the Jonathan Hoyle info (in the link above) as a starting point. Then I went through the old metrowerks.com site snapshots at Internet Archive to try and nail down some missing release dates and extra info for each...

Nice score! I have a B&W and Quicksilver that I wouldn't mind sticking ZIP drives into, but only if I can get the appropriate bezels (I'm super picky like that!). The bezels, it seems, are difficult to come by unless you buy a Power Mac with a ZIP drive already installed. Right now I'm...

I have a hard drive with all of the major OS X updates on it from Panther on up so I'm not too worried at the moment. However, I did have a disturbing experience trying to use my 10.6.8 updater after I reinstalled Snow Leopard from my 10.6.0 disk: the updater wouldn't work! I tried it twice and...

The classic Mac OS Toolbox (all of the functions that are Mac OS-specific like drawing to the window, managing files, creating menus, controls, and dialog boxes, etc.) and the Cocoa APIs for Mac OS X are two completely different beasts. Classic Mac OS applications are deeply interwoven with...

This is kinda long so bear with me. I'm digesting some of the responses in this thread so far. Here's what I propose: I think a distinction needs to be made between art copyright (books, music, film, comics, etc.) and software copyright (applications, games, utilities, operating systems, etc.)...

Mystery solved! The discs I have are, in fact, a later re-issue for the previous year's iMac DV. Now to put these back on the market (with red caution tape, of course) and get the correct set of discs... This page details the versions of Mac OS sold with each model...

It's quite possible they are incorrect. I actually hope they are so I can move on and get the correct discs. :lol: Here's the info stamped on them: Install: SSW 9.0.4, CD version 1.1, 691-2709-A Restore: SSW 9.0.4, CD version 1.1, 691-2710-A Both discs have © 2000 on them. The earliest...

A friend recently gave me a 500MHz Graphite iMac DV SE (Summer 2000) and I just acquired the original install/restore discs that should have come with it from the factory. The CDs are orange, marked "For iMac DV models", have OS 9.0.4, and have a date stamp of 2000. All of that matches my iMac...

Yep, try as I might I cannot think of any situation where copying unsupported software for unsupported hardware harms the original publisher. It may be wrong legally, but practically it's a victimless crime.

In a reasonable world, this would be the rule: If the original author/publisher is no longer supporting the software for a certain hardware configuration (practical or commercially emulated), then it is considered abandoned. Share and enjoy. Example: Photoshop for Intel Macs running Mac OS X is...

My attempt failed as well. The service rep "Jennie" is completely oblivious. When I told her I was informed that the product was available as a download, she asked for the person who told me this so she can get in touch with him/her. This is her response: So, does this mean that if someone who...

Congrats on the score. I love my 12" PowerBook. I bought the same model new in 2004 and it's still in use. It's been through a battery recall, a hard drive crash, and the screen has lost its original brightness but it's been a trooper. It suffered a fall a couple years ago resulting in a bend...

I upgraded my B&W with the fastest G3 processor I could find (1.1GHz). Why? Because it would bug me if I had stuck a G4 in there when the tower says "G3" on the side. :p I only run Mac OS 9 on it so I don't think it would benefit much from a G4 anyway. Plus, for my G4 needs I have a Dual...

I love Tetris Max! I discovered it shortly after getting my first Mac in early '96 (a Performa 6116CD). The graphics are clean (I love the backgrounds), the sound effects are nice and effective (the pops and moos were great), and Peter Wagner's music is fantastic. Congratulations on a nice bit...

Yeah, I pulled it for a short while and everything seemed fine. However, I was needing to back up a couple USB drives and the USB 1.0 speeds were pretty excruciating so I put it back in. I went ahead and reinstalled Tiger on the dual-boot drive this morning and so far everything is working...

Update: It seems to happen only when booting into Tiger. Another problem that crops up when this happens is I have to restart using the hard key on the front of the Mac since the Log Out and Restart menu commands are non-responsive. I'll probably just reinstall Tiger at this point to see if that...

The machine: - Quicksilver 2002 Dual 1GHz w/GeForce4 MX - 1 hard drive boots 9.2.2 or Tiger - 1 hard drive boots Leopard The accessories: - 4-port USB 2.0 card - iogear USB hub (uses two USB ports, provides three USB ports and various card reader slots) - Apple ADC monitor (which is what...

Here are the main reasons I maintain and enjoy OS 9 machines... for graphics and animation... Photoshop 7 Illustrator 9.0.2 After Effects 4.1 Premiere 5.1 for programming... BBEdit Lite 4.6 MPW 3.5 Power Mac Debugger 2.2 ResEdit 2.1.3 HexEdit 1.9.2 MacErrors 1.2.1 for online...

Same thing happened to me! Not sure what the deal was.

I would also like to extend my thanks to Mr. Kaiser for working on browsers for OS 9 and Tiger. The thing making computers obsolete nowadays is not the operating system or hardware, it's our interface to the internet. My Macs running OS 9 and Tiger can do all the cool things they did in 1999 and...
