Are there aliases with System 7.0? I know there isn't any available with SSW6.

I have opening the first Mac mini computers down to a science with new putty knives. Not even a scratch. After that they are so small it’s tough to do anything inside with big fingers.

I may have to order some small fingers then and have them delivered. I can only usually get it to stay and work fine until I put the lid back on the Mac Mini, then it pops out. What a terrible design. Nothing inside there is rated for repeated use. Even the chassis screws are a pain to get at...

The replacement would probably be finding a cheap Intel Mac mini over finding the specific part number, they're super cheap complete. I have a few just trying to repair this one. The first photo has the flat edge ribbon going into a slot. Was there ever a tool or an improvised tool to get the...

I had one of these. Always used the Network Software Installer from Apple.

I can't be trusted with expensive laptop computers so I never bothered to get one. The G3 ibooks I got used, got dropped and wet several times so I decided that I'm not responsible enough for an expensive laptop. I don't use a computer for work so it's not a big deal for me. I made up for it...

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.

What tool is used to replace the foxxconn ribbon cable to the Mac Mini I/O board on a 2006 core 2 duo 1.66?

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?

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...

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)...

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...

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. If setup properly the calling Mac can see the entire AppleTalk Network. It's slow for sure. If Apple IP Gateway is setup...

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...
