Apostrophe, are you tired of being named after a brand of women's clothing? Also, America has no irony. America needs no irony. One does not simply walk into America. etcetera. http://i63.photobucket.com/albums/h149/aphetica/tankcat.jpg

I cut cables off of anything that I know is dead, minus computers. It's not a lot of copper, but it begins to add up after awhile. I've got a pretty good heap of metal in my closet simply from ripping cords and motors out of things on my way out to the dumpster.

I hate to tell you this, but your 6116 seems to have a cat infestation.

A blue 6500? Is the paintjob any good?

That's awesome that you found one with the 32mb card in it! The hinges on both of my PBs have issues too. Not necessarily the hinges, but the bezel that covers the microphone. It catches the base of the laptop sometimes when I close it and threatens to pop off. Both of my batteries were dead...

This box is probably less than 2 years old, mac formatted Imation floppies... I don't think they have ever been used. Also, Equill- the only PC I have that is capable of downloading anything right now is... well, incapable. Its hard disk got "prioritized" into one of my Macs. :beige: Maybe...

I keep getting this error when I try to copy files from a floppy to a folder on my desktop. My destination system is a PB520c, and the disks were created on a beige PM G3 with OS 9.1 It gets about 3/4 of the way through the transfer before reporting this error. What could be causing it...

Well, yeah. I hope you were being sarcastic about the microphone thing. Also; Yes, I have system 7.1 on floppies and could simply install it the easy way- But what I'm asking about is whether or not I can install anything onto a blank drive via ethernet or appletalk, which I believe you are...

Well, I kind of went haphazardly into it on purpose, knowing that it would probably end up becoming a learning experience. I've been working on acquiring system install discs, but most of the ones I have so far are CD-based and not floppies. I believe I have an AAUI ethernet adapter; as in-...

I don't know how I would do that. I have nothing that will attach to the ports on the back of the 520c other than a printer port cable and ethernet.

I have been up all night attempting to figure out exactly that. My machine is a Powerbook 520c with 20mb of ram and a 240mb HDD. I had OS 8.1 installed on it, but I decided I wanted to wipe the drive, partition it, and dual boot OS 8 and System 7 using the installation files on Apple's site...

It would have been 1000x better if he used a slot-loading drive and kept the original floppy faceplate. :beige:

Well I figured something like a loose cable would cause the signal to cut flicker off and on rapidly, where something like a cap could be affected by radio frequencies and cause bizarre pulses and fluctuations... (I only pretend to have any idea what I'm talking about when it comes to this sort...

Okay, so it started this morning and I was able to see the screen... for a few seconds. Then it flickered and faded to bright white, not black... so I'm pretty sure it's not the backlight, right? I could barely see the menu or drive icons, and it would pulse back into view for a moment and then...

Only 500 produced and JDM? I would pay more than $40, If I could afford it. Definitely not $2000 though...

Thanks a lot! :beige:

Silly Question: in OS 9, how do I get my desktop pattern to be all black behind my wallpaper? All it will let me choose from are a bunch of weak pastels for patterns. :/

Alright. I'll leave it plugged in and report back tomorrow. Does it also need to be powered on to charge, or simply plugged in?

I last used it about a year ago, a 520c with (I think) 4mb of ram and some flavor of system 6 or system 7. At the time, it booted with no problems. Today I booted it to make sure it worked before I went to install Sys 7, but I got nothing on the screen, just white. Tried taking the batteries...

pics or it didn't happen.
