Thanks for the responses. As it turns out, disabling MODE32 causes the Mac to count seconds, but VERY slowly . . . about 3 seconds to every 1 second ratio. This seems to put an entirely new twist on it. A visual inspection reveals no obvious damage or corrosion to the board level components...

I'm in the process of setting up a Mac IIcx as a LocalTalk Bridge/IP Gateway, but it has a really strange problem. It will retain a time that you set in the Date & Time control panel, but no matter what you do, it will not KEEP time. That is, once you "set" the time, it doesn't count seconds...

The latest version of Office you can run on the 68K is 4.2.1 (Word 6.0, Excel 5.0, PowerPoint 4.0). But this is widely known as being a slow, buggy, wretched version. Office 98 was much better and fixed most of the problems of the previous version, but it requires a PowerPC. You might be better...

As for someone who's attempted this feat, I've successfully installed the version of Panther that came with my PowerBook G4 15" onto my Lombard. So that's close, but not exactly the same. It was a completely unmodified installation; I just popped the DVD into an external drive and ran the...

It appears to be a high-end graphics workstation. It's just a standard PC that will run any standard PC OS, but is supposed to have exceptional high end components, such as video cards, motherboards, processors, etc. I've heard of Intergraph as producing CAD workstations, but I've never actually...

Pete Resnick has written such a program, called Network Time. It is compatible with System 6.0.5 and later, through System 7. From the author: Download it here: http://hyperarchive.lcs.mit.edu/HyperArchive/Archive/comm/inet/network-time-201.hqx

Yeah, I love that about the Mac. Coming from an entirely PC background (by ignorance only), the feature that first wooed me to the Mac platform was the ability to pull a drive out of any machine, pop it in any other machine, and watch it boot. You just didn't see that on a PC. And the newly...

That's a pretty sweet CC you've got there. My guess is you're missing the networking software from system 7.5.3. I don't recall if it's installed with the default installation, particularly on Macs without built-in network hardware, but it's certainly an option that may have been omitted...

There was in fact a PPC version of OS/2 Warp released for the IBM Personal Power series desktops, models 830 and 850, and ThinkPads 820 and 850. It was an extremely low key release (especially after expectations, but IBM took so long in development, the market had dried up) and was never...

Chances are that the external CD-ROM SCSI case has a cable that plugs into the back of the CD drive that allows you to set the SCSI ID externally. Because this won't work on your hard drive, if you're planning on connecting it to your 1400 and doing the system install, make sure you change the...

What version of System 6 are you using? There are several different versions with extremely varied support and capabilities, particularly with regards to networking. Also, what machine are you trying to do this on? If it's a [relatively] more recent machine (Plus, SE, Mac II, etc.), it's going...

Current IDE/ATA drives come formatted differently from the factory than the drives in vogue did when your 630 was produced. These newer IDE drives now include partitioning information, which is unrecognizable by the Internal HD Format application Apple shipped with systems prior to 7.5.2 (which...
