Hello, i have a macintosh performa 6116 (136mb ram, sonnet nubus g3 at 500mhz, 72 gb hard drive, 4x cd rom) with Mac OS 7.6, 8.1 & 8.6 installed. I have installed microsoft office 98 and i would like to use it for word documents. Is there a program that i can change the english fonts to...

Thank you all for your answers. I know that vga has 320x200 resolution and the svga 640x480. I guess that i will search for a trinitron 14" or 15" monitor.  I have also a sony eizo 17". It is a great monitor but i have to get it from the basement. I believe that these games look better on...

Hello, i want to find a nice monitor for dos games, especially for the 90s for vga games 320x200 like fate of atlantis, doom etc.. I have a typical philips 14" monitor but the quality is not good. Especially next to my macintosh performa 6116 with the macintosh color display monitor, the dos...

I have a Cyrix 120+ PC with windows 95 and dos for games. Is there an adaptor to connect the Macintosh Color Display? I have a philips pc monitor but the quality is no good. I also connected the philips monitor with an adaptor on my performa 6116 and i can tell that i had forgotten that the...

Good day, i have a powerbook 540c and i am thinking of buying a powerbook 145b but the guy that sells it does not know if it works because it has not a power supply to test it. 1) Is powerbook 540c's power supply suitable for powerbook 145b? 2) Does powerbook 145b supports 24-bit addressing...

I agree with armor alley. I have installed mac os 8.1 & 9.0. Mac os 8.1 is the best for my performa 6116. Very stable and fast. I have installed the sonnet nubus g3 500mhz and 136mb of ram and the machine flies. Very rarely i use mac os 9.0. Some time before i had installed also mac os 7.6...

Hello, i have a macintosh performa 6116 with logitech x230 speakers and i use it especially for 90s games like monkey island, flashback, myst etc. I have also a roland mt32 installed for some sierra on line games that support it. Can i use an amplifier mixer for sound improvement and for more...

Yes, i also checked the technical specification of powerbook 540 at apple support and it says that supports only 32-bit addressing mode.

Greetings, i installed system 7.1 in my powerbook 540c and i want to enable 24 bit addressing mode in order to run an old game (Rex Nebular). Although there is an option at memory control panel to disable 32 bit addressing, when i choose it on "off" and i restart the powerbook the 32 bit...

Hello, i would like to change my apple internal 4x scsi cd rom on my performa 6116 with a fast cd recorder. I would like fast reading speed, not (necessarily fast writing speed) and to be able to boot from the drive. Any suggestions?

The truth is that the performa 6116 flys with the sonnet g3 installed. Some 68k games like Monkey Island, Gabriel Knight, Dark Forces (at high detail graphics) etc.  are very slow without the sonnet card because of the 68k emulation. For me the best and most essential buy for the powermac 61xx...

Hello, i have the sonnet g3 at 500mhz installed in my performa 6116. I would like to ask what is the real speed that the performa can have with the card. At the apple system profile it says that the cpu is 240mhz but when i run the metronome for a test it says 480mhz. Regards from Greece Dimitris

ArmorAlley, thank your for your time and for your answer. I do care for the 24-bit addressing mode because of the adventure game 'Rex Nebular' which it cannot be run with 32-bit addressing mode and it is one of my favourites. Unfortunately it doesn't run on my performa 6116 and my powerbook...

I am thinking of buying a quadra in the indirect future. I have a performa 6116, imac g3, powermac g4 mdd and powerbook 540c but i would like to have a motorola desktop machine for games specially for monkey island and larry era. Are these Quadra(s)  good for this purpose? What kind of upgrades...

I have to check all these. The card is original for Macintosh with ADC and DVI ports.

mistake: the previous graphics card is the nVidia GeForce 4mx 32MB i don't know if it is important but my mdd has installed from the seller an atx power supply. Thank you.

Hello, i replaced my gforce2 32mb vram with the gforce 4600 but when i turn the mac on, after 3-4 seconds it powers off. What should i do?

Today i put a new battery. The performa is back again. Thank you very much for your help.
