Regardless of the length of time spent in preparation, which was invisible to all of us but those doing the sweat-work, the implementation—on one visit the old, and on the next, the new—deserves much commendation. Commendation with jam on it, considering that very few genuine hiccups, as...

Apple's part number for the Mini-15/DB-15 (not VGA) adapter is 590-0831-A. They turn up on eBay from time to time. To that you can attach a standard or a switchable DB-15/VGA adapter. You could also try direct approach to the likes of macmetex and olde-mac-milt. I know of no Mini-15/VGA, but...

Well, thar y'are. The '2' should probably have suggested that to me, but I have no personal acquaintance with the 6200. End of a nice dream, then. de

As LCGuy has already pointed out, the sizes of HDDs in older Macs are software-limited, by the System. By the time of OS 9 the theoretical limit was 2TB, but the ability to address the possible number of blocks did not always keep pace with the appetite until 48-bit LBA (logical...

An interesting offering, but it makes for expensive packaging. Just over three years ago I bought three M0100 mouses, in apparently 'original' packaging of a different kind—sticky-taped bags—for USD5.85 (total). That values the 'Picasso' box of this mouse (G530M010004091) at USD198.04. My...

Fortunately, Sonnet maintains most of its software for download. You need the extension Sonnet Processor Upgrade v3.1 in your Extensions Folder, with a space character in front of its name to make sure that it loads immediately after EM Extension. Because the Sonnet installer may not remove an...

The nearest corroborations of the suggestion that drives should be formatted while they are attached to the ACARD that I can find in ACARD's PCI-to-IDE ATA-133 Controller for Macintosh User’s Manual (2001) is the third statement on p6: ■ Connect 2 hard drives in the same channel, check the...

I had the same/similar experience in a IIcx, which had been upgraded from 7.0 to 7.1 to 7.5 with all the in-betweens. SuperClock had not been discarded in the process, and, putatively, was slugging it out with whatever Apple changed it into when they acquired the rights to include it in their...

Welcome ... and had you (at the time) but realized its rarity, and also had a large paper bag with you, you perhaps might have been the only person in the Southern Hemisphere to own a CC II (other than the official owner, that is). de

The AEC-6280M is equipped for ATA-133. Are you using an Ultra-DMA 80-wire cable? Presumably the 320MB HDD is ATA-7 specification. How is it jumpered? What brand is it? Master/Single/Cable Select depends on the maker's specification for a single drive as well as on the presence or absence of...

Horses for courses! I earn my living with my OS X machines. I'd be mad not to do so. You can believe that OS X is therefore my work OS of preference. That doesn't in any way diminish my appreciation of Systems 6 to 7, or OSs 7 to 9, on the Macs that were designed to run them. If my...

Good that you succeeded, and the cable may have been the villain, in conformity with all that is known (feared?) about SCSI Voodoo. I have rarely known a SCSI problem to be fixed completely by a change of cable, but it has happened. Because I was able to do so, I acquired LaCie cables with...

There were three revisions of the Beige G3 ROM: -A (LROG434-01/02), -B (LROG434-02) and -C (LROG434-03), and all with part no 820-0954. There are five subspecies of the Rev. A, but none of them allows more than one drive on each ATA bus. Loose Rev. B ROMs seem to be scarce, but Rev. B or Rev. C...

No. Just unsuitable for the model. All three Beige G3 machines were specified for 384MB total (max.) of RAM with then-current technology, and the desktop version had also a height restriction on the DIMMs. Later SDRAM production accommodated the height restriction and enabled 256MB DIMMs for...

MTCC These forums are stuffed full, pressed down and running over with references to resuscitation/resurrection of PB 1nn models (even including the PB 100 proper, which is more like The Luggable than it is like the rest of the series). We can advise you from a distance, but only you—on the...

Agreed, thoroughly. What would there otherwise be for a 603e/166MHz PB 1400c under OS 8.6 to do in a world that has advanced at least 11 years? However, my G3/400MHz upgrade running Mozilla 1.0.2 was still holding its own in eBay trading via dial-up from the Boondocks only two years ago. It...

Can't say, not knowing. It could also be considered a perverse act, because in my sample of one the Mac is clearly labelled Performa 5400/180MHz on the press-in panel, and, separately, DIRECTOR'S EDITION PowerPC with a graphic of a director's chair. It is, however, a black Mac. de

There is plenty of anecdotal evidence, here and elsewhere, that a variety of actions can produce temporary respite in case-yellowing. I write 'respite' because some amount of yellowing is removed. I do not use 'reversal' because that is impossible. The newly-exposed less- or un-yellowed...
