I have nowt (a Yorkshire term meaning nothing) in the way of Mac laptops except some Intel ones (MagSafe, various versions) and an iBook G3 (Snow, Dual USB, 700MHz, 16MB VRAM, 256MB RAM) which I was told wouldn't work.

Try binhexing the StuffIt archive. Also, I am getting a PowerBook 1400cs/166 tomorrow!

It's coming Monday (18 May 2015) so no verdict on it yet. I'll tell you sometime next week. The power adapter (which I may not need, since I found the Clamshell adapter) arrived today.

This topic is marked as "HOT"! I think it's the first topic I started that is "HOT"! Edit: Actually all the topics I've started (save my latest one) are "HOT".

I don't know, Uniserver might be able to help.

Also, does anybody know how to do a table?

First, please note that I have never used a 68020 or 68040. The Mac OS can really be divided into three main groups: System 6.0.x (1989-1991) System 7.0.x/7.1.x (1991-1994) System 7.5.x/7.6.x (1994-1997) Mac OS 8.0/8.1 (1997/1998) Now, for which OS...

In pre-OS X? Chiming out the clock sounds quite neat, and I do like seeing all the extensions that load up when you turn on your Mac after you install loads of software.

The Maxell 650MB CD-Rs came yesterday, as did the floppy drive and HDI-30 to DB-25 SCSI adapter. The PowerBook and the AC adapter are coming Monday (18 May 2015). I found the Clamshell power adapter on Tuesday (12 May 2015).

Note, I have something like 18 extensions installed in my IIci (16MB RAM). "stripping" might help it run better, but I am planning to downgrade to System 7 Pro (7.1.1) and run 7.6.1 on a PowerBook 1400cs/166 that I'm getting Monday (18 May 2015). Also, more RAM might help (the PB 1400cs/166 that...

I say Plus (1.1-7.5.5, 160MB SCSI Disk) then a 7600 (7.5.3-10.4, XPostFacto to http://www.jump-ing.com/?en/Projects/Tiger_on_7600 10.4), then a Mac Pro 1,1 (2006, 10.4-10.10 with hacking). With this setup (which requires LOTS of hacking, specially for Tiger on 7600) you can go for 30 years of...

It's been ordered! (Though, to save costs, I only bought 10 CDs.) It should come by the 19th (next Tuesday/Tuesday week). (It's being sent UPS Ground from New York State to California.)

Just to clarify, System 6 gets you part-way into the 68030s (though if you have an '030, you'll probably be better off with 7.1.x/7.0.1/7.5.x). I have run 7.5.4 (yes, I have a copy) on a Mac IIci, though it's quite slow to boot and sometimes takes ages to do simple things like close a window or...

I have never built one, but the idea of making one (and getting some soldering skills in the process) for less than US$50k or whatever a totally beat-up Apple I usually goes for. (Or buy one)

Can I use the replacement power brick for my Dual USB "Snow" iBook G3 (700MHz I think, from GainSaver) for the PowerBook, or must I buy a replacement 1400c(s) power supply from eBay? Also, I may have a Clamshell iBook G3 (Blueberry) power cord somewhere from an old Clamshell I had a few years...

Hmm... I'll have to see what it says on the door when I get it. I don't mind using CD-Rs for now. It would be nice to have CD-RW capability though. Edit: In the eBay picture, the CD drive has a white blotch on it. It could be the CD-RW logo, or just the Compact Disc logo, or even just a...

OK, I'll pay the extra US$30 to get the floppy module. My PowerBook 1400cs/166 has the CD module already in it. I'll also get a HDI-30 to 25-pin SCSI adaptor so I can Use SCSI Disk Mode with my Mac SE FDHD (dual floppy) and Macintosh IIci (subject of a few posts here) Use my Asanté EN/SC-10T...

Should I purchase a floppy module as well as the CD module?

YAY!

So, I am thinking of getting a PowerBook 1400cs/166 off eBay to run Mac OS 7.5/7.6 (I'll probably use 7.6 since it's better on PPC) really fast. But, everymac.com says that the 166MHz model only goes down to 8.0. But then...
