Thank you for the replies, everyone! Much appreciated! :)

With some difficulty, I was able to get OS X 10.6.8 installed on my iMac model referenced in the subject line. I usually prefer running the latest and greatest version of anything on my machines in order to have as many security patches installed as possible. In the case of OS X, I understand...

The combo updater worked on my G3! Thanks, everyone! I appreciate the support! ❤️

I recently adopted a beautiful Blue & White G3. The machine has 256MB of RAM, a single 60GB Seagate IDE drive, a DVD drive, and Zip drive. Installation of 10.4.6 went smoothly without any hitches. It was a basic install for the sake of time. Upgrading to 10.4.11 with the installation combo PKG...

The MS Excel 4.0 sit file can be found on the Mac Garden. There's an English version and a Finnish version. I'm looking at the English version.

Awesome! Last night I tried MountImage and it worked like a charm. It seems to only mount disk images made by Disk Copy. Is there anything that can mount and work with raw image files? For example, I downloaded raw disk images of the installation sources for MS Excel. It’s seven disks with a...

I’m restoring an SE that has two 800kB floppy drives. One drive barely reads/writes. its head is probably out of alignment. The second drive reads just fine but corrupts whatever disk I feed into it. With the help of my Centris 650, I was able to is install System 6.0.8 on a hard drive image...

I want to install Python on my eMac and some packages like NumPy, Matplotlib, etc. Installing the Python package was easy. I downloaded v3.5.4 from python.org. With some help from Google, I was able to get pip installed. I have pip and pip3 running, it seems. However, I cannot install any...

About a year ago, during days of better health and all that, I purchased a Power Mac G4 from the shopgoodwill site. The machine was advertised as having a 733 MHz processor and 128 MB of RAM. This is what is printed on the specifications sticker on the back. Now, after a long long long break, I...

Thanks for the replies! :)

I am currently using a ZuluSCSI Mini v1.0 on my Centris 650. It connects to the 25 pin port on the back of the machine. Would I see faster R/W speeds if I used an internal ZuluSCSI device connected to the 50 pin ribbon cable? Or do these two ports perform identically? Thanks! :)

I'm back at it again! :) I did a quick eBay search for "mac pci sata" and found two promising results. This is a four port SATA card. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254669358361 This is a two port SATA card. https://www.ebay.com/itm/266155412364 The four port model is cheaper. Maybe I could get...

@Cory5412 The link of books at vintageapple.org is fantastic! Thanks for posting it!

Sorry for my delayed response here ... The machine has OS 9.2.1 installed on it. I didn't dig too deep into that system because the only thing it has is porn. I didn't want to mention it because it sounds kind of stupid. The only application is Netscape Navigator with literally 100s of links to...

After getting a taste of a 68k system through my Cenrtis 650, I decided to pick up a beige G3 desktop. Here is the eBay listing I purchased the machine from. https://www.ebay.com/itm/295533405617 I purchased this machine because the seller offered to pay for return shipping. The machine...
