I think all Mode32 does is add the 32-bit addressing option to the memory control panel. As it's already in mine it probably wouldn't even run.

I was rummaging through some old CDs earlier and found a copy of NetCD. Now that I've managed to get my external Sun CD working with my LC III I wanted to try out some audio CDs and it'd be nice to have the titles pulled from the net. But the first step to getting NetCD working nowadays is to...

Does such a thing exist? I'm running my LC III without a PRAM battery and on startup the 32-bit memory addressing is turned off by default. I could just pop in a battery but I'm trying to see if I can manage without one. I have Network Time loading on startup to fix the date and time. If I...

There's a copy in the PPCMLA downloads section. It doesn't seem to want to download here if I left-click, but it works fine if I right-click and save it out that way.

Assuming we're talking original Airport cards here (and not Airport Extreme) WPA2 isn't supported.

http://mac.oldapps.com/icq.php I know I had some version of it running on Basillisk II back around 2000 or so. Not sure if it still works nowadays.

My DVR-111D is still running as smooth as when I bought it new. I've only bought 3 DVD drives for my main PC since 1999. They've all been Pioneer and all are still working. I just went from ROM to RW to DL-RW.

Always good to hear a happy ending. It should be good for many more years to come now.

I love the black Keyboard IIs for these. Not a fan of the AppleDesign one my 5400 has.

You'd need a SCSI Zip drive for a Classic II. The way I got mine "networked" was by connecting it to an old PowerMac via a printer cable. Then I could put whatever software was needed onto the PM and copy it over on the Classic II via AppleShare. Slow, but it worked. I now have a couple of...

I used Décor. Not sure if it supports JPEG but if not, it wouldn't be a big job to convert into a compatible format.

Yeah the danger of death fear put me off opening mine up too. Discharging the CRT sounded equally dangerous. However, the Classic II has a bleeder resistor which is designed to remove any charge once the Mac is switched off. As a precaution against the resistor being faulty I left mine unplugged...

Yep, I took the battery out of mine and it still booted. I've left it that way for now.

Searching on the Maplin site drew a blank. I bought a few batteries off ebay a while ago. These half-AA 3.6v batteries are commonly used in alarm systems, so a good hardware shop might have some locally.

I have a number of old developer CDs with system software images on them, but while they have 6.0.8, none have 6.0.8L. Was it shipped on floppy or some kind of download?

srieck, did you find that if you twisted them gently without applying up or down pressure that you could remove them every time without lifting the solder pads? I'd just like to know how reliable/safe this method is vs cutting them up with a wire cutters. The cutting method shouldn't leak...

I've been looking at different solutions too as I gradually build up the courage to tackle recapping my Classic II. Twisting off the old capacitors sounds easy but I wonder what the chances would be of lifting a solder pad as a result? While cutting the capacitor is more work, it seems like it...

I tried it this hack with 1.4.3 and 1.4.7 in 9.2.2 but the CD-ROM I'm trying to get working (Sony CDU-8012) shows up in System Profiler as a DVD-R and the inserted CD as 2GB and unreadable. Has anyone had this happen and/or know of a workaround?

Problem solved, it was just a bad extraction.

I have it on my smurf as well. It's basically what Rhapsody was going to be, before it got canned. The first developer preview of OS X looked almost identical (just minus the server components).
