I went to goodwill (with the speaker) and picked up the 16v/1.8a Canon power supply. Works like a charm. I need to get some quality contact cleaner and lube as the volume pot is pretty scratchy. Right now I've got it hooked up to my iPod Classic 160 and it sounds pretty good. Had I not been...

That Quadra 950 is a looker. One of my top 5 favorite case designs. How much did your wife have to layout for that one?

Saw a 16v/1.8a possibly compatible connector (with the center pin) at Goodwill. I'll see if I can pop in there tomorrow with the powered speaker to test it out. I'm sure Macdrone's 14v undervolt is fine, but should I worry about 1v over?

Went on my weekly visit to a local thrift and found a pair of AppleDesign Powered Speakers. Marked at "UNTESTED" and $4.95 I thought it was worth the risk. Apparently they were having some sort of tag sale and they rang up at $4.02 including the governor's share. A little bit dirty, but I...

Thanks Proto. I take a look at Shadowkiller. I had Tiger on my eMac 800mhz and it was great, even better when I overclocked it to 1.27ghz. I think the G4 vs. G3 makes a big difference. I had it on my Blueberry iMac from a few years back, but didn't use it much -- mostly a Classic machine -- so I...

OS 9 seems fine. I thought there might be a Java update or something. The 9.2.2 install CD I have came with my 2004 eMac, so it's probably as updated as OS 9 gets. I can live without iPod support under OS 9. ;) I couldn't get it to work with 10.0 DP, but initially I was having other problems...

Couldn't find a compatible 8.6 to load on my Tangerine. 8.7 beta and OS X 10.0 DPs seem to be a bust as well. So now I've reformatted and have one partition with both OS X 10.4 and Mac OS 9.2.2. Tried out some games that I thought might give 9.2.2 trouble and they seemed to be fine. I think I'll...

Good question. From the pic (and it's not great, so it's hard to tell) it looks more "stylized" than the one I'm remembering. The one I'm thinking of was more opaque in the translucent white, but also came in other colors as well. Still, the idea is the same, which is to make the mouse usable.

Thanks Proto, I'll set it up that way. Also, I answered my own question regarding updating the firmware with an install disk and USB drive. No go. It requires an install to run. Does OS 9 requires its own partition or can it share the OS X one?

Bummer on Rhapsody. I'll give DP1 & DP2 a try. I don't imagine there's much to actually run software-wise on either. What do you think the minimal comfortable amount for a partition would be? Can I update the firmware using a Classic install disk to boot (I was thinking OS 9) and a USB...

Being the community oriented and overall kind fellow that he is, mcdermd hooked me up with BOTH a pair of 512mb PC-133 SDRAM stick (1gb total) and a whopping 120gb 7200 RPM HD for my traumatized Tangerine beauty. I just got both in the mail today. I was going to make it an Independence Day...

Oh, how very sad. :'( Any chance of saving the front and maybe marrying it to another bucket in the future? Pics for the rubber-neckers would be nice.

If you get a chance post the company and product name or a picture or both.

Is the display an Apple model? For some reason I had the 7100 confused with an evil model (7200?), but looking it up it seems like quite a standup Nubus Mac.

Quite a bit of luck there. Glad you've got it working.

I love reading through the old Mac mags. It's a nice mix of nostalgia, triggered memories and new insight. I've got a bunch of MacAddicts that are a lot of fun to read every now and again.

No kidding. I remember when the B&W G3 came out and we used the mice from out retired computers (the good-old Bus Mouse II). I can't for the life of me remember the name or the company, but someone made a clip on accessory that gave the puck mouse a more traditional oblong shape.

One eBay auction and US$9.00 later and I should be seeing this arrive soon:

Your welcome. I'm glad it's gone to an appreciative home. That Sony monitor is absolutely spot on for the era. Very nice coupling.

Thanks for the info. I know that some Macs, such as those based of the 4400 mobo and a few Powerbooks (I believe), need the PRAM battery to boot. I wasn't sure about the G3 iMacs. Since this won't be a daily driver, I'm not too concerned about resetting the date every once-and-awhile. And I...
