    Creating a Warcraft II image from CD

    bin/cue is usually the best (open) format when dealing with hybrid discs that have both data and audio tracks. WinWorldPC recommends using ImgBurn for making bin/cue images on Windows. Are you trying to play from the image itself virtually mounted, or is it that any burned discs you make from...

    Serial Network Programming

    Sounds like an awesome project! Please do keep us up to date on your progress. It would also be neat to see a repository of any code you make for the project, for preservation/collaboration/etc. ;)

    Serial Network Programming

    Is this the video you were referring to?   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k6JPoB0M4zM In the video he's using a terminal emulator such as ZTerm to talk directly to the Arduino via the Mac's serial ports.

    Serial Network Programming

    The best resource for programming on the Macintosh would be the Inside Macintosh books from Apple. Inside Macintosh: Devices has a chapter on Serial Drivers/Communications (Ch 7) HTML Version of Chapter 7 PDF Version of Chapter 7

    I'm a moron who deleted the System Prefs from a PowerBook G3!

    The Option key method only works if Mac OS 9 and Mac OS X are installed on separate partitions. If they are installed on the same partition, then it will only display the "blessed" OS on that partition. Still, it should have at least displayed the boot menu, odd that it didn't. The OP mentioned...

    What can I do with a modem on a mac classic?

    You already have two previous topics (here, and here) to which you asked this question and people have already given several suggestions. The forum rules discourage creating multiple topics on basically the same subject. It would be better to continue the conversation/question in one of your...

    Murphy's law - CPU thermal paste applied, no more video

    Yes, the PowerMac 6100 won't boot up properly without a working PRAM battery. If you ever find yourself without a working PRAM battery, you can do the power toggle trick. Turn it on for a sec, then quickly turn it off and back on again. Should get the video working and booting up normally...

    How do I get these on a network

    If you already have some form of broadband internet (cable, dsl, etc) then the modem is pretty much useless unless: You are actually dialing an ISP or a remote computer. You are manually "calling out" and "picking up" on 2 machines whose modems are directly connected by a phone cord. If you...

    How do I get these on a network

    It sounds like you have the PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet.) If it is, then it should also have an Ethernet port as Bunsen mentioned. The LocalTalk Bridge software will only route AppleTalk packets. You'll want to use IPNetRouter and configure it to use MacIP (TCP/IP over AppleTalk) in order to get...

    Mac Classic Ethernet

    Technically you can use two modems and get them to talk to each other by manually "dialing out" and "picking up" on each respected end. You can transfer files on the Mac Classic with something like ZTerm.   If you're trying to get an ethernet connection on the Mac Classic for networking...

    Developing for 68k Macs on a modern(ish) Mac?

    If you're looking to emulate a 68k or PCC Mac for emulation, you can always look at Basilisk II (68k) or SheepShaver (PPC). Granted it wouldn't be an interleaved environment, but it does the job.

    HP Laserjet 4 Plus & a MAcintosh Quadra 650

    D'oohhhh... I didn't realize there were ROM SIMMs to pull out. (Would have done so otherwise.)  Once I picked up a smaller, faster LJ2100 I just wanted the 4+ gone. :p
