    IMG vs DMG - best practices archiving CDs

    I think this was discussed in the previous incarnation of 68kmla but I can't find it anymore. I am going through all my media to archive it for eventual posting to vintageapple.org, and other places. Floppies are easy with Applesauce. I'm a little confused about the best way to archive CDs...

    HOW TO DOWNLOAD LARGE FILES FROM THE WEB

    For my networked Macs I have an a2server set up with any files i need to get onto a vintage Mac.  I am running it as a VM on a modenr Mac.  I also have an FTP server set up in case there are Appleshare issues. My other solution is I have a SCSI2SD v6 set up with several HFS partitions and a...

    G4 B&W thoughts

    As I go through all my stuff to figure out what to get rid of, I started playing around with a G4 B&W 450.  It needs a DVD-RW drive and an HD, but is in otherwise good working condition.  I'm a little torn on this one.  On the plus side, I'm really impressed with the case design and how...

    What is the card in this Colour Classic?

    That's a nice upgrade.  The only thing missing is a video card.  I have CC with a 575 board in it (Mystic) with a com slot ethernet card, and managed to get a Radius pivot LC card in it.  Now if I could only get it to work again.

    540c not enough free memory error

    Hey @dan.dem thanks for your help.  I'm pretty sure I've definitively identified the problem as corrupt files due to a version of the SCSI2SD v6 firmware that is incompatible with the PowerBook 540 series.  Backing the firmware down to 6.2.5 and everything works perfectly.  But with newer...

    Powerbook 540c has problem with external SCSI2SD

    Yes, turns out one did in fact have a bent pin, good call.  The other had a keyboard cable that had loosened up such that the power button wasn't doing anything.  both are working now.

    Hey JT, No worries, I am happy to cover this for the team.  I just ordered a copy.  In terms of text only MacUser and MacWorld, I could probably hack together a python or perl script with some pdf libraries to extract the text.  But I'm not sure about formatting.  Hmm.  The PDF files are first...

    Using SCSI2SD v5.5 in a Powerbook

    Wonderful!  I just bought two.  Is it against forum rules to post a link to your own stuff for sale on eBay?  Can I post it for you?  :)

    PowerBook 550c SCSI2SD internal with SCSI2SD external

    @AlpineRaven somewhat stale thread but I've been playing around with a couple of 540c's lately and am definitely having weirdness with my SCSI2SD v6.  The firmware seems problematic.  I am back to ver 6.2.5 as with any newer version I have issues copying files to/from the v6.  One PB has the...

    Using SCSI2SD v5.5 in a Powerbook

    @360alaska I'm also looking for SCSI2SD solutions for PowerBooks.  You going to make some of your adapters available for purchase?

    540c not enough free memory error

    Er, scratch that.  6.3.2 still has issues with the PowerBook 540c. Grrr.

    540c not enough free memory error

    I think that the SCSI2SD issues are a problem with the v6 firmware.  I was previously having problems with the v6 and another 540c and had identified it to be a v6 firmware issue that was introduced after firmware version 6.2.5 (which worked).  I ran into the same issue today on another 540c and...

    540c not enough free memory error

    @Crutch yea I got the error first without virtual memory turned on, and I've since swapped out a different hard rive.  I was able to copy the same executable to the machine via appleshare and it worked fine, so I think the SCSI2SD have issues unfortunately and is corrupting files that are on...

    540c not enough free memory error

    I think you are right.  There were more than one but they were all off the SCSI2SD device.  I think that device for some reason isn't working properly and is corrupting files, as well as the inability to write to it.

    540c not enough free memory error

    Ah, must be a flakey LCD cable.  I switch to greyscale and it had a distinct greenish tint.  I went to take a picture with my phone and moved the screen a bit and the tint disappeared.  Now the screen is periodically glitching.  The SCSI2SD problem is strange.  I ran into the same problem with...

    540c not enough free memory error

    Yea, I think you are on to something there.  I popped in another hard drive and it had the same version number of Fetch on it which ran fine.  There may be a wrinkle in my new 550c board.  The video is showing some odd coloring with that processor board in.  I wonder, does the processor board...

    540c not enough free memory error

    I tried swapping out the 16MB board for an 8MB one to see if that might be the issue and nothing changed.  I tried booting with extensions disabled, no change. I tried swapping the processor board for another (that sweet full 68040 I picked up last week ... HELLO 550c mod), no change. Doesn't...
