I am looking at a SCSI zip drive now. It has on the back two selector switches. The first turns termination on or off and the second allows you to select between a SCSI ID of 5 or 6 for the drive. --David BTW: I just got my Mac Plus tonight. I am going to have some fun. }:)

Do you need help to fix it? If you do, please post what is going on. Not knowing what to do is not an excuse to give up. Just ask. --David

tomlee59, Thanks, but, no, I live in New York City. I now have a deal pending. We shall see if it goes through. --David

So far I have not succeeded in purchasing a Mac Plus. I am still trying. When I finally get one I will try out all of your suggestions. This is frustrating. I thought it would be easy to buy a used Plus from someone. --David

The main ingredient for Tigor to install properly is that the mac must have firewire.

Thank you everyone for the information. I will keep you posted with how it goes. David

It looks like that page is gone or there is a problem with the host's webserver.

Thanks. In fact, a zip drive would be almost ideal. It gives you the freedom to have multiple boot disks, each with a different configuration. I would probaby have one for 6.0.8 and one or 7.x. Thanks! David

Has anyone used a zip drive as a hard drive for a Mac Plus? I would be interested in hearing about people's experiences. Also, if you have a zip drive connected, can you successfully chain a second drive to the first? Ideally, I would like to use one as the boot drive and the second for data...

I have tried various keyboards. Right now I am primarily using a keyboard from a CRT iMac with my G4 DA. It works pretty wellm, though is a bit small. The keyboard that came with my Acer 386sx (circa 1990) was the best I have ever used. Some of the ergonomic Microsoft Keyboards are quite...

With a friend, I once tried to build a binary adder. We used morse code keys for input, analog relays for the logic, and red LEDs for the output. These projects are cool, and take lots of time. If doing something like this is your dream, let nothing stop you. David

Charlieman, Thanks for the version information. This will help get me started on my search for what I need. David

Hi, I think I found the app you mean. It is shareware and called PrintToPDF. You can get it at http://www.jwwalker.com/pages/pdf.html. Great suggestion! --David

I think madmax_2069 is referring to MS Wndows patches. Yes, Microsoft has released patches for the various server OS's. Check the Microsoft website. I seem to recall that Microsoft is giving it free for newer OSs but selling it for 2000 server. David

I noticed that the time as reported on the front page was incorrect by 1 hour; it was 1 hour behind. I checked to make sure that my time zone was correct in my profile. Check. I thought about it and realized that the difference stems from when countries move their clocks. Europe moves their...

I would like to try out Adobe Pagemaker. I would like to be able to create Pagemaker documents on a LC 475 (OS 7.x, 132 MB RAM, 8 GB HDD, Apple Portrait Display) and be able to read them on Pagemaker running on my G4 DA (OS 10.4.10 and OS 9.2.2, 733 MHz, 768 MB RAM). As well as the reverse...

I you want to still be able to boot into OS 9, would the best option be to keep the stock NVIDIA GeForce2 MX?

If you upgrade the processor on a G4, can you still boot into OS 9?

I bought a clean 733 MHz G4 DA (256MB RAM, 9GB HDD, DVD-R superdrive, NVIDIA GeForce2 MX) three years ago for $300USD. I spent $75USD for a OWC 512MB PC133 memory stick, $75USD for a 120GB HDD (this model can only handle drive up to 120GB w/o replacing the drive controller), and $150USD for OS...

I am surprised that after all of this time of no upgrades the software is still $99.
