I have setup an appletalk network between Mac OS X / Linux and System 7.6.1 When opening a shared folder from System 7, is there a way to tell the finder to always open the .txt files created on the Unix systems with something other than SimpleText? (For example BBEdit Lite) SimpleText doesn't...

Thank you for the tip uniserver! I will keep the 60MHz at the moment. I am not very comfortable with motherboard manipulation...

I reinstalled the system and the problem was solved! :)

Thank you for the advise trag! I did notice that the old heat sink grease was dry. I have some new grease so I will replace the old one. Something else : I managed to install system 7.6.1 on this machine. Every time I restart the computer, my changes from the Views control panel (icons size)...

Thank you all for your help! I just removed the motherboard and components, cleaned everything, put everything back and the 6100 has startup! :) I took a picture of the motherboard for you to see if there is anything wrong. I removed the processor Heatsink for the picture but I put it back...

I haven't used my 6100 for a very long time. Today, I tried to boot it up but it didn't want to. The green light goes on and I could hear the hard drive spinning but there was no startup chime and no picture on the screen.  The computer has some RAM and a brand new battery in it. The hard drive...

I would say that the amount of RAM really depends on the apps you use. Tiger was not very heavy and the OS by itself works well with 256MB. It starts to be slow when you open apps that require a lot of RAM. Personally, I have worked with a Powerbook G4 having 1GB of RAM for many years and never...

The GS105 should be fine and the problem is more related to the software side in my opinion. I have never tried to connect a mac running 7.1 but it should work. All the protocols exited at the time of 7.1. You should make sure that you have installed all the network packages of system 7. What...

I have connected my LCIII through a Netgear GS105 switch and it works perfectly. Th LCIII has a PDS 10BaseT ethernet card and runs system 7.5

Virtualbox is a software that emulates the hardware of a computer within your mac. You can install a linux or windows operating system on it. I chose to install linux because it is free and can be very minimalist and use a few amount of RAM. I need to access 10.9 from my older machine because I...

Hi louiscox, I have recently managed to setup an appleshare server between 10.9 and 7.6. It uses a linux machine as a bridge but I use virtualbox for that so I have only 2 computers in this network. I made a post here explaining everything I have done to make it...

Hi Syntho, If you want to tune your finder to make it easier to browse, you could use popup folder => <snip> It adds contextual menus to all the folder to be able to browse without opening many windows. You can define keyboard shortcuts for making copies and aliases when you move your...

Hi Syntho, I have noticed that the PCI slots on my 9500 don't behave the same way. My SATA card would work much better on the 3 lower slots than on the 3 higher slots. Have you tried to move your PCI card to another slot? It may help...

Hi, I am trying to install NetBSD on my 9500 (with a G4 upgrade). In fact, I managed to install the system but I am unable to boot it from open firmware. Right after installing NetBSD on my hard drive, I tried to boot from open firmware but the computer seemed to freeze at this point : 0...

I have a Sonnet Tempo SATA card on my 9500. I attached a 60GB SSD drive and I have been able to boot os 7, 9 and X from it. Everything works fine but the sound. I don't know if it is a problem with my PCI connection... but the sound doesn't play correctly as soon as the SATA drive is being...

Hi leitec, Well done! I see you are going forward. :) I haven't been able to find some time to code lately. My job and my family are just taking all my time. I hope things are going to evolve soon and I will be back helping you! Sorry about that.

You can do almost everything with a G5! It is still a really good computer. You know, I still use my powerbook G4 quite often as it is my only laptop. Here is my personal experience : - Tiger is faster/lighter than Leopard on the G4 (don't know if it's the case on the G5 though) - Web...

Hi ClassicHasClass, The hack is because the openGL installer wont install on 7 so you have to extract the files with TomeViewer. I explain how I did in the last post of this thread => http://forums.system7today.com/viewtopic.php?t=14&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=12 Well, I...

Personally, I use 7.6 on my 9500/G4@700. The speed of the system and the user experience that goes with it are just incredible and I don't think I will go back to 9 on that machine. The Radeon 7000 is well handled and even Open GL works with a bit of hack. I can play Quake 3 at full speed...

Visually, I love the 9500 case because it has the "fast machine" look of the quadra 8xx while being a bit higher. However, this case is the worst thing ever to work with! Everytime I open it, I break some plastic inside. Adding some RAM is a real nightmare! I love the quadra 700 tower as well...
