Also very interesting! Guess I’ll have to start reading about programming apps 😃😃

All your answers are actually quite interesting, I didn’t realize it was so complicated. I find it fascinating! If this is possible then it would be more than enough. How complicated would it be to build as extension? Good idea! I like it! I can try this too.

Yes exactly, although as you say it could be a bit distracting if it blinked too often. You are absolutely right and I probably didn’t realize that - maybe because I spent so much time and effort to succeed in connecting it to internet that I wanted to make sure it was connected 😂 But I still...

I’ve been wondering for a while if such an extension for system 7 exists - one that allows you to see if there’s an active connection (through Ethernet cable, WiFi, etc) by displaying on the menu bar something like a blinking icon, or two different images depending on the status. Something...

I have a Plus and SE/30 with working custom backgrounds (you can see it in my profile account). At the moment I cannot remember the apps but they were different for each compact Mac and didn't need particular tweaks. I'm away from home now, if I get back in a few days I'll write here the apps...

Nope, no mods 😀. I have a Myst.img file (should be the one from Macintosh garden), I mount it with DiskCopy and it just runs :). There are some warnings like “this game needs 256 Colors to run” but I click Ok and it starts anyway. Even the QuickTime animations work. Congrats! Another board...

Not in color, but… Not really playable if you don't know where to click… but funny in a way 😃

It works! I installed all the Italian versions necessary and it runs very well. I did this in the following order: System 7.5.3, then 7.5.5, OT 1.1.1, OT 1.3, AppleShare 3.7.4 and it worked on the first try 😀. I couldn’t find OT 1.1.2 so I installed 1.1.1 and it works, does anyone know the...

Thank you so much, @joshc ! In fact I found a friend who is interested in lending me a hand…the thought of repairing it ourselves is very tempting, and in the next months we will probably look into it! I will post again here if there are updates 😃

Thanks for answering! I’m quite sure it’s the Italian version, but I’ll double check next week when I’ll try reinstalling the system again from scratch. Wow that’s quite the archive! I’ll download from here next time! I’ll check again as soon as I can, but if I remember correctly in the...

I just noticed the PDS card is somehow being recognized, as the red LED is on. But the green one is always off…

Hi everyone, I have a working SE/30 with System 7.5.5: the English version works very well, I can connect to the internet with my CNet PDS card (no drivers required), surf the web and use ftp. But then I tried to install the Italian version of system 7.5.5 on another partition and internet...

I thought about it, but I really don't have the time for it right now, university and other things are absorbing almost all my time in a day…but maybe in the future I'll reconsider it. I often feel that having these skills would spare me a trip to a repair store 😀.

I just had the chance to open a package I left in a corner for a while because of lack of time…I found this nice but very yellowed Macintosh Plus, with mouse and keyboard, for 25€ just 2 hours by car from where I live! The owner said he bought it in order to modify it internally with a Raspberry...

😲 that's impressive!
