Hmm that's curious. Have you done the usuals of checking the PRAM battery voltage and resetting the PRAM? Have you doubled checked all the cables are clean and seated correctly as well as the RAM?

What do you mean by 'nothing'? What do you get? Does it just freeze at the 'Welcome to Macintosh' screen and doesn't go any further? If so thats likely to be software. Getting a bong and Happy Mac icon means it's passing its hardware checks and starting to load the software, if it hangs at that...

It has a primary fan, right next to the processor and a secondary fan at the back on the right hand side.

I can confirm that Retrospect (version 3.0) does indeed copy invisible files as I checked on it today. However, I also found out that version 3.0 (1995) is OS 7.0 onwards only, but I also found a copy of version 2.0 (1993-94) but was unable to find any system information for it. If it does turn...

No thanks, I'm done with this thread. I've tried to help you as much as I can but you're not listening to anything and think you know best - good luck with getting it fixed. I know when I'm wasting my time.

Something like that, yeah! From memory the video uses about 30% of the machine RAM capacity for video and the rest for the machine and I'd imagine the machine grabs its share of the memory first and the video takes whats left. What might be happening if you're only using say 4Mb RAM (or 1Mb if...

Not sure I can answer your question specifically but I can tell you what I've always used for backups on Mac OS and have always been very happy with what it does. Retrospect backup software has been around since the mid 80's and at one point probably had the market share of Apple based backup...

Yes it does AFAIK. I think all the II series (II, IIx, IIcx, IIci) need to have some ram in bank A to boot.

You mean, it was the last desktop Macintosh that Apple made that could boot natively into OS 9! I have the last laptop they made that can boot natively into OS 9 and that was discontinued in September 2003, the 1Ghz G4 Titanium Powerbook. It wasn't the last machine compatible with OS 9 as many...

The Macintosh IIci shares its RAM with the on board video, but you can also use a nubus video card for video as well. Only bank A needs to be fully populated with 4 x SIMMS, you don't have to fill both banks, but they do need to be of the same capacity and speed. Funnily enough I still have a...

How can it be a bad hard drive when he can't get it to boot off floppy either? Is the floppy drive bad too? It's possible, but highly unlikely. The most likely scenario is, (and it's been mentioned countless times and is well documented on this forum) is that the capacitors on the logic board...

Well done cc ! So pleased to hear the Q950 breathes again.

Wasn't Sonic bought out by Farallon?

Was the machine working okay before you cleaned it? It's hard to offer any suggestions because it could be so many different things. As a hunch check the key area thoroughly, make sure the correct key is inserted and its fully and correctly engaged, see if you can bypass the key altogether. I'm...

Erm, the printer port is a serial port!

Interesting reading this thread through. I would say with almost 100% certainty that your problem is stemming from overheating. I did some research recently on my own G4 Powerbook (1.67) as I was trying to find a reason for why the fans were so noisy, when another identical Powerbook G4 was...

I can't really think of any other way you can achieve what you want without implementing Ethernet and TCP/IP on the classic or SE30. If the options were available to you, the simplest way of doing it would be to hook up a modem to the Classic and TCP/IP or Open Transport and get a dial up...

I've still got mine, well a Cayman GatorRouteIR which can bridge three different networks and route three different protocols - still haven't found a use for it mind!

...I'm still assuming I can't get internet through localtalk on my Classic No you can't, at least not down LocalTalk. LocalTalk is simply the physical layer in Apple's AppleTalk file protocol, you need to talk IP (Internet Protocol) down a suitable physical layer that can carry that protocol -...

It could be lots of things, but the first thing that comes to mind is, did you ensure the drive was a 'bootable' one when you formatted it? I use FWB Hard Disk Toolkit to format my drives and there's a checkbox you need to check to make it a bootable drive. Automount is usually checked by...
