coius, the way your message is written it sounds like you believe your 9.2.2. installer disc *has* the file, but that you just can't get the installer to install it. If that's true, then what about Apple's free TomeViewer app? It can probably be found easily via Google or MacUpdate. I don't...

I agree this is a likely cause of problems. Often the glue/gook used to keep the video board secured to the CRT neck socket dries out (or has been cut by someone servicing the unit in the past), making the connection liable to work loose if the machine is transported or jostled (or if it just...

LibMotoSh was a famous extension back in the 1990s. It boosted PCI Power Macs' FPU performance - but many said it did so only on benchmarks and in real-world use it actually harmed performance. Your experience seems to confirm that. It makes sense in a way that it came on your Sonnet CPU...

Every CRT monitor I ever used got hot around the top vents after extended use. I think that's normal. Best, Matt

Nice! For $70 it's a steal - and for the zero you personally paid for it, it's a monster conquest!

The older G3 iBooks are like tanks - I think they're great. Getting hot on the wrist rest over the HD is, unfortunately, very common for these machines. If you upgrade the HD, not only will you get more room and probably faster speed, you may very well also get a quieter and cooler running...

Nice find! Looks like a very capable machine. M

Nice conquest!

Very cool site in general!

Well done - the NuBus G4 upgrade is definitely the coolest bit, but the QS (if it works) is worth the $75 by itself! Nice! [8D]

Yeah, that's the D-5.3.1 driver, the "universal" driver that will run just about anything. I presume the D means "Developer Version" - anyone know for sure? AFAIK what makes it universal is simply the fact that the driver contains the appropriate text strings that tell it that any drive is...

I have a pretty rare parallel port NuBus card. M

Cool! Hurry up with Part II...

Just for clarification, which tip did the trick for you?

That's a cool retro conquest, actually - and those USR Couriers really are the Lexuses of 56k modems. One curiosity though: Almost no ISPs support USR's x2 56k protocol. Most support Rockwell's K56flex (or whatever it's called) alternative. So I'm surprised you're connecting at speeds greater...

Linux and 68040 BSD distros will indeed work on a Q605 and similar Macs with just a swap from an 'LC040 to a full '040. But A/UX is a totally different animal. Unlike Mac OS, it doesn't use the Macintosh Toolbox and accesses the hardware directly. And unlike Linux/BSD, its hardware support...

I've experienced a variation on this sort of behavior with similar PCI Power Macs (a 7300, and a 7600/8600 frankentosh). The only thing that worked was a total motherboard reset (IIRC disconnect everything from the mobo including drive cables, PRAM battery, and PSU cable; then press the front...

Pagemaker 5.0 did not come on 400k floppies AFAIK. M

Yeah, once in a while I luck out on Freecycle. This haul also included a 9600/300 and a Lime 333MHz iMac. M

Got this as part of a multi-machine haul from Freecycle. It's a PCI/"Yikes!" model, but it's outfitted nicely, with 704MB RAM, and two ATI Rage128 PCI video cards, one with 32MB VRAM, the other with 16MB. I added a second HD to the stock 10GB drive, and upgraded the CD-ROM drive with a DVD-ROM...
