Try version 5.5. I've had very good results with that. Amen! You'd think Apple would have seen the opportunity and built some file decompression into MacOS at some point, especially since Stuffit was so bad. Since the Mac platform was based on ease of use, getting rid of Stuffit would have been...

Good for you!! I hope you enjoy this one... just as long as you don't drive around saying "can you hear me now?" I agree with you Unknown_K. From personal experience, having a job where you do nothing all day gets old FAST (especially when you don't have the Internet to distract you). But, it...

Interesting. Anyone know why a 1.2 GB partition fails to format in disk utility then?

Hey gang, How big can an HFS (aka Mac OS Standard) partition be? I always thought they could be huge, but I've been having some trouble formatting a CF card with Disk Utility in OS X 10.4 & 10.5. Any partition roughly equal to 1.5 gigs results in an error message saying "Size not compatible...

PM sent Franklinstein. One last addendum, as I finished going through the last box. - PB 5300ce with NIB AC adaptor Whew!

Nicely done... nothing like buying a $4500-$6500 machine for $18.50 shipped! That's a savings of AT LEAST $4,481.50!! Hard to believe notebooks used to cost so much back then. Nowadays, even a maxed out MacBook Pro can be had for less than $3700. Got to wonder who exactly was buying these...

As though that weren't enough, when I went through one of the boxes, I found a Tangerine clamshell, a Q800, and some more software - original CDs of Mac OS X Server 1.0 and Rhapsody DR2 for PC... the latter two, I've put in my CD binder for safekeeping, as they didn't come with any original...

Hey all - I've got a huge conquest... a graphic design firm near me was dumping their old macs to make room, and I was able to help myself to a bunch of olde beige boxes... including: -3 PM 9600/200s -2 PM 8500s -1 PM 7300 -3 PM 6100s (all Performas one with DOS card) -1 PM 4400 -1 Quadra...

Apple's FW 2.3.3 drivers work with my Orange Micro card: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86020 Not sure what Orange originally shipped on that CD, though.

Hah! "Backup your precious data... before it is too late!" Yes, nothing quite like an eBay seller trying to scare you into buying his product so that you can back up your vintage data onto a used hard drive with an unknown history. What could possibly go wrong?

Thanks... gonna start looking into those. Any experience with a MiroMotion board?

So I have access to a couple of PM 9600/200s, and I think I'd really like to use one of them to replace my current 8500 setup, as I'm really feeling a slot limitation. I can move my PCI cards, G3 upgrade & SCSI-IDE adaptor over in a pinch but... The kicker is, the 8500 is a really nice AV...

It isn't! Sometimes people discuss Rev. A's like they're the plague or require voodoo to run well (see here: http://tinyurl.com/6qvveh or here: http://tinyurl.com/5tkpkq). Sometimes people even pass them up just because they're Rev. A's! But Rev. A's need love too! Not all of them are flaky...

Yeah, what of this potential NuBus gold mine? You know, the Rev A B&Ws get such a bad rap. I have a nice 300 mhz tower, Rev A, and ever since I put in an ATA/66 ($20) PCI card, it's been rock solid. I use mine every few days to do some video editing in FCP 3 or multitrack stuff in Digital...

Yeah, the slave card / drive typically doesn't show up at all, at least in my experience (seems to depend on the IDE-CF adaptor's mood). I have one adaptor that will consistently show the card attached as slave, but nothing I do will make it boot from it (startup disk, blessing / reblessing...

Subjectively, the CF cards are slow for disk access. I especially notice this in the 8500. Two things seem to happen - first, the CF cards exhibit a bursting phenomenon, where in an extended write operation, the CF card will need a few seconds to pause, presumably finish writing what it has been...

I just wanted to chime in and say I've had nothing but success with the Acard adaptors. I've been using a few of them with some generic cheapo IDE-CF adaptors from Hong Kong with great success. My 8500 has been running 8.6 off of a 4gb card and I've got a Color Classic happily running 7.5.5 off...

Hi Everyone! I'm new here (in the sense that I've been lurking for years, registered a month ago to PM and now am finally posting), and I just posted a NuBus wish list. But that seems awfully forward! A little bit about me: I'm a university student studying engineering, music & Russian...
