Impressive! bigmessowires, I'm lurking your progress here and on your blog since the beginning of this project. All of this is awesome! Incredible! But I must say that, imho, a read/write floppy emulator make more sense to me. Your read-only prototype is already unbelievable (as is all the Plus...

Hi all, Wow, that did the trick! Thanks a lot! I updated (actually downgraded) the disk driver with Apple HD SC, and all four volumes mounted straight away. No need to reformat nor to copy back several gigabytes to that slow disk. The only things I lost in the process were my custom disk icons...

Hi all, In the early nineties, when the 80 MB hard disk of the family's LC III became a little bit short for my growing needs, I bought my first piece own piece of hardware: a huge (at least for me at the time) 365 MB external SCSI hard disk. That disk served me extremely well for 16 years, and...

Maybe it's not the best way, but the easiest one would be to try and find an Asante EN/SC, or better a Mini EN/SC, that "convert" the SCSI port to standard ethernet, imho. By the way, it's just the coolest SE/30 ever you conquered! 8-)

Hi all, After a quick look through my boxes of Mac stuff, here are the adapters I have that are relevant to the topic: Macintosh Portable Power Adapter Model # M5136Z (output 7.5V / 1.5A) This is the adapter that came with my Portable (original non-backlit). I bought this Portable second-hand...

I would say, the PRAM battery is most certainly bad. Try to remove it. Removing the main battery won't do bad either. My 1400 runs happily without its batteries! The only downside is it usually starts up automatically when plugged in.

Wow, thanks all for those details answers! I haven't made it clear in the original post, but running 9 natively is a must! To that extent, when I bought the MDD without knowing which one it was, I was indeed lucky it was the MDD 2003 and NOT the FW800. What I learned in your answers is the QS...

Hi all, I have a PowerMac G4 Quicksilver that I love. It once was an original 867 MHz, but a couple of years ago I swapped its motherboard with a dual 1.0 GHz from a damaged Quicksilver 2002. It has 1.5 GB of Ram, and its original 20 GB hard drive plus a 320 GB. It runs Leopard pretty well, and...

Couldn't have said it better! Thanks bigmessowires fot that great story! I remember opening it up with ResEdit to or something just to get the music and listen to it in loop on the family's LC III.

Thanks all! I'll have to meditate a little bit. I'm not in a hurry.

Hi all, I am a kind of a 1400-freak. This is without a doubt my favorite classic PowerBook, and one of my favorite classic Mac ever. I do have two 1400c/166. One is my main classic machine (on which I'm writing this post). It has 64 MB of Ram, a G3/233 upgrade and an ethrnet card, and runs 8.6...

Once again sorry for the non-french speakers… Ok, c'est quand qu'on demande à ouvrir une section francophone sur 68kmla? Il y a de quoi faire! Par contre je n'ai malheureusement aucun idée pour faire avancer le schmilblick avec ton 128K. Mais le nettoyage de la carte mère que propose...

Absolutely not. That is, not until you stick your fingers in some wrong place! ;)

Yes, it is! :) After the copy, just make sure the system folder is "blessed", i. e. it actually has a system folder icon. If that's not the case, you can simply "re-bless" it by taking the Finder (or the System Suitcase) out of the folder, and back in. Edit: after re-reading your post, I...

Hi Gilles! Nice score, and I agree, especially for the 5400. I've never seen one in person. Those weren't that common here in Switzerland. Schools were flooded with 5200s and 5300s, though. I apologize for the non french speakers, but looking at the Renault Mégane, I assume there are good...

Thanks! Does that mean, "out of luck", and should I keep the PowerCD as a cool Apple-branded paperweight? :-/

Hi. I know nothing about Proview, but the fact that your file transited on an OS X machine and was sent by mail leads me to think it may have lost its resource fork in the process. Why not binhex it prior to sending it?

jsarchibald, the thread in "Conquests" where you posted about getting your PowerCD got me started, and I begun looking for one in my area. And I found one that arrived today. It's in good cosmetic condition, and came with its power brick and remote. And sadly it's exactly in the same state as...

Wow, thanks for addressing the issue so quick! I don't know what God really knows… But Apple makes it pretty clear: Looks like you'll have to look for another host, and maybe another publishing tool! 8-)

Hi, Sorry for the thread necromancy, but I just noticed that http://www.mac128.com/m0001 no longer responds. I wanted to add my latest conquest, a good looking (though not booting) original Macintosh. It looks like mac128.com was/is hosted on MobileMe, which is going bye-bye… Mac128, any plans...
