Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard is the last Apple operating system version to support HFS. There are a number of different sets of instructions online (for different hypervisors) on how to run Leopard in a virtual machine, depending on which hypervisor you run it in (such as Parallels, VMWare, VitualBox...

I can help you with that, if "that" is finding productive things to do on your ANS w/ AIX. If you want to bang your head against something, try to get pkgsrc operational. https://wiki.netbsd.org/pkgsrc/how_to_use_pkgsrc_on_aix/ Once you get pkgsrc working, you can install a decent hex editor...

Well done, CircuitBored!

I'm afraid it's just as likely as not that the floppy drive no longer functions, either. Some have the patience and skills to troubleshoot, lubricate and repair them, but unless it is one of the first two compact macs, personally I think it is a lot of work for not a lot of function (though an...

I'm not sure who you're suggesting should join forces with that poster, but unless the request is for the actual physical media (CD), AIX 4.1.4.1 is readily available at two popular mac legacy software sites, garden and repository.

If that's what you call "quick and dirty," I'd like to see your idea of leisurely and clean. It's a neat script. Unless I missed something, it's coded entirely with bash builtins. Though I don't think echo is builtin to Bourne, I bet it'd even work on A/UX sh without modification, though the...

DOS cards came with different memory configurations, and that's the side that's different, the side where most here, I imagine, already recognized as memory. Since the mystery is effectively resolved, I'm going to risk OT... I'm curious about them, but I don't know much about the DOS cards...

How can you resist doing more forensics before wiping? I'd try to get a feeling for what the previous or original owner was doing with it and when.

Is that a Quadra/Centris 650? I think the odds are equal it's a DOS card and those are serial ports on the back for the machine on the card. If so, this would probably be the first DOS card (Houdini I), I believe first shipped in 1994 with some 6100, but were also compatible with NuBus Quadras...

Forget the "expensive" SCSI2SATA adapter. Have you gents tried a SCSI SSD drive with your fast wide SCSI card?

That's not what he asked. Look, it really is ok to disagree. It is only through dissent that technology has ever moved forward. If everyone always agreed with you, nothing would ever advance.

@cheesestraws Well first of all, you have not volunteered what drives you're running, and that makes all the difference in the world. And, again, I never said anything like "you should do this! You just have to do this! This is the only thing that can be done!" I answered the question of what...

I'm really at a loss to understand how 10MB/s is just as good as 20MB/s, and that $100 for a SATA adapter and SSD is too expensive, but the same spent on SCSI2SD or SCSI adapter + Ultra-wide SCSI HDD is a smart spend. Granted, the Apple cache+SCSI PDS card is very difficult to find and likely...

I appreciate your opinion and that you feel strongly about the economics of vintage computers. However, the bottleneck on any 68040 mac is going to be the fast SCSI-2 bus. I do not know the precise memory bandwidth of a 25MHz 68040, but I recall that in a 16MHz 68030 SE/30, the memory bandwidth...

Can we see your 16MB RAM SIMMs? Can you post some images?

Isn't SCSI backwards compatible? I would not expect (getting a SCSI adapter to work) to have anything to do with the platform, just esoteric SCSI stuff at worst.

I think you're maybe mischaracterizing my statements. A $15 SSD at the end of a chain of adapters is not high end storage. And I think you may have some bad eBay examples. This is about the price of a thing, and I know it because it sold: https://tinyurl.com/y3yjephb Cost is relative. Not sure...

SCSI to SATA adapters cost precisely the same as any of the SCSI2SD devices, they're just trickier to find, though probably not as hard to find as the Apple PDS cache+fast wide SCSI card for WGS95. Also, A V6 SCSI2SD tops out at fast SCSI 10MB/s, half the speed of fast wide SCSI. 100%...

If I had a 900, I'd want to find a fast wide SCSI NuBus card with internal fast wide scsi (oddly a lot of them only have an external port), then uncover adapter from fast-wide to Ultra, and an Ultra160 to SATA adapter, install the smallest, cheapest SSD I could find, and enjoy close to the...
