I only have solid color G3s, so always proceed with caution and test an inconspicuous area first, but my advice would be windex. Anyone know of anything better?

OMG! Why does no one in my neighborhood ever put G3 imacs out by the curb? Congrats on a nice find, and saving another mac from the dumpster.

Anyhow, that is way cool. I'd love to be able to up the video capacity of my IIsi and still keep the Ethernet connection, but oh well. The 12 inch monitor works just fine. And I never stop getting a kick out of seeing System 6 in color, though I boot to System 7 most of the time.

But how do you end up with both video and Ethernet?

Whoa, is that a user hack, or something that was marketed commercially? I'm trying to figure out how the cards meld together to feed out the same port access plate.

Thank you!! That was just what I needed to know. I can use one of my SEs as a test machine. I just always seem to scratch my hands all to heck working inside compacts.

Thanks very much for the pointers. I was thinking about contacting Uniserver, but I thought I'd do a bit more troubleshooting first. Another question (I hope this doesn't count as thread hijacking since it might be relevant to another user with 400K floppy drive problems): one of the issues...

Could someone point me to a simple tutorial on how to diagnose/replace the bourns filter on a 128? I suspect it of being the cause of the problem I'm having with my 128, but I haven't had time to do a thorough investigation.

The floppy drive sounds like it might need a head cleaning. I have a floppy disk (actually several!) for the purpose and little bottles of solution, and I have to clean heads all the time. I expect you can clean the heads by hand but I don't trust myself not to break something. Relubing is...

I don't like doing anything internet related on any of my vintage machines, even the G4. Just too painful and too slow. I do try to keep them all ethernet connected if possible, but that's for local file transfer. It's a pity there is no vintage internet out there, since of course once upon a...

Thanks for the walkthrough! I always have trouble with jumper settings.

Wow, nice find! That is in beautiful shape. What area are you in? I've never seen anything that cool at a yard sale around here.

Unfortunately, I think not. My recollection is that I had to burn a disk to use the copy on my classic Mac (I haven't done this in a while). Daemon Tools under OS X can mount an mds/mdf, though, I think.

As for Alcohol, making an mds/mdf image (not iso) with the program's default settings should work. If there are other cheaper/free options, by all means try them first. Alcohol just happens to be the one that worked best for me. Hope you find a good solution.

In my experience, pretty much the only thing that has reliably worked to image a dual PC/Mac disk with an audio track is Alcohol 120% on Windows. Not cheap, but a very useful tool when it counts. Was that one of the applications you tried under #5?

Nice! Which hot air station do you have? I've been eyeing one on eBay/Amazon, haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Demon cat extra. (Seriously, cute cat!)

That is awesome! But I'd never trust myself not to bash it with the vacuum cleaner.

Glad to hear StuffIt 5.5 did the trick. I didn't realize it could run under 7.5, my System 7 machines all have 7.1. RE damaged forks, restoring the correct type/creator ID fixes stage one corruption. There is another level of loss beyond which the resource data is irretrievably lost - I'm not...

Weird. I wonder if it has something to do with how Netscape handles downloads.
