    FoxxConn Ribbon cable

    It’s not ripped, it only needs to go back in that slot. Is there a tool made that helps to put it back in? Got it in once after about an hour trying for it to only stay for about 5 minutes.

    Asante EN/SC with Blue SCSI

    If I were to put a Blue SCSI into the second SCSI port of my Asante EN/SCSI would it work as external boot drives? Would this be considered network booting?

    Power Macintosh 6500 and Keychain in OS 9.1

    Open the Key Chain Access control panel and turn it off or delete the effected Access Points. Nothing is really top secret in there is it? I find it more trouble than it's worth. If you have Multiple Users on in that control panel and you shared something or saved a password under another User...

    System Picker

    I believe you would need to double click on the target MultiFinder while holding Cmd+Opt for MulitFinder to load this way as doing so on the Finder will only give you the Finder. Pre SSW 7 you could make a App Floppy consisting of only an application (perhaps only certain apps Mac Write will)...

    System Picker

    If you use the System Picker program for 68k Macs to choose a system to boot with and then click the restart button, the system on reboot briefly loads a system and then starts over and does another. Rinse repeat with more until it settles on the system that was chosen. Why is that? Is there a...

    Serving TCPIP network over PPP via integrated modem

    I have used a PBX and ARA to connect a Mac via Supra Fax modem to another Mac's Supra Fax modem which has AppleTalk Internet Router with other Macs connected via local means.

    Are PCI Powermacs hard to find now?

    You'd be surprised at what you can find at your local transfer station or landfill. These things are too fragile, heavy, and expensive to ship so people just junk them. Let's face it, these are not nanotechnology. Many assume you would need the bulky heavy Apple CRT Monitor for them and all...

    EtherTalk routing across Tailscale

    Without knowing anything about Tailscale, and since you want to also use Localtalk, then AppleTalk Internet Router with the IP Tunnel Extension may be what your looking for as already mentioned. The only problem is that it needs to run on a pre-OpenTransport Mac. Classic networking that is. This...

    PowerBook 540c - Did a thing (OS 8.6)

    Do you use a modified power supply for your Powerbook 540c or the original one? Have you tried creating and using a RAM disk using the Memory Control Panel in Mac OS 9? When in Mac OS 9.1, using the Startup Disk Control Panel do you see Netboot as an option? So many questions...

    Iisi issue

    So on the Mac IIsi there need to be a jumper on W1. This will disable the onboard ROM and allow the use of the ROM SIMM https://www.bigmessowires.com/romdrv/rominatorii-instructions.pdf Is your ROM SIMM a genuine Apple ROM or Custom ROM?
