As regards to surfing the Web with the Newton, I agree with Rodus. The options are limited and even in the best case scenario, you won't get farther than text-only browsing (à la Lynx, so to speak). Email, on the other hand, is still a viable solution and there's at least one guy on the...

I can't be of much help, since I'm currently in the process of bringing my MessagePad 2100 online via a wireless card. I was curious to try nBlog myself once achieved the online stage. I'm subscribed to the NewtonTalk Mailing List -- if you want I can relay your nBlog-related questions there...

I think that, currently, you should focus on the hardware side of the issue, more than on which tool(s) might be able to read the disk. You need to find a way to make an old Mac-formatted internal SCSI drive work to be able to access its data. If you haven't got a PC that can support that kind...

This is great work! I took the liberty to link to your post from my System Folder blog. I hope it's OK with you :) Cheers from another PowerBook 5300 owner! Rick

Something I found googling around: http://normalkid.com/collector/100.html Hope it helps, Rick

A podcast is basically a non-live, live radio show. ;) Cheers Rick

It should be at the beginning of September, 1987. Cheers Rick

Out of curiosity, does the mouse issue persist if you remove the 6-port PCI-X USB 2.0 NEC card? Cheers, Rick

TylerEss, Tom, you're both right. I think I was hasty. The fact is, I installed the Iomega Tools 5.0.3 that came with Mac OS 8.1 and the Iomega driver (correctly put in the Extension folder, top of the list) was not seeing the Zip disks. Every program in the Iomega Tools folder told me that no...

HyperCard above all. Other favourites include: DOCMaker, TypeStyler, Claris Emailer, MacLinkPlus, WordPerfect, WriteNow, the ever useful ResEdit, TomeViewer, InformINIT and GURU (GUide to Ram Updates), FileBuddy, the FWB Utilities, and -- why not? -- TattleTech. (I surely left out something...

Help! I'm trying to locate the necessary driver to use a VST Zip 100 expansion bay module in my PowerBook 5300. Iomega drivers apparently are not enough, because Zip disks and the drive itself are not recognised. After some research, I found out that I need the following extension: "VST Zip100...

Equill, TylerEss, again thank you for your efforts. It is hugely appreciated. I did a little experiment: - Launched DART 1.5.3 and created a floppy out of the first PageMaker Disk image. DART, as I wrote, sees those images as 400K floppy images. It formatted and created the floppy...

Sadly, not much. As I wrote in my first post, it refuses to mount the disk images, it gives me a (-8819) error and says that the image is damaged. Cheers Rick

Update: Further attempts at decoding/mounting the images have included the use of the following software programs: - DiskDup+ Pro 1.0.3 (result: doesn't recognise the image as a valid Mac OS disk) - ShrinkWrap 3.5 (result: a brief "Analyzing image" dialogue box appears, then nothing happens...

Thanks, folks, for these first insights and sorry for the lack of further information. Equill -- the files are all .img. Some have the familiar Disk Copy image icons (and FileBuddy identifies them with a "dImg" type and "ddsk" creator), some have blank icons and the type/creator is wrongly...

In one of my old backups I've found a complete set of 13 disk images for Aldus PageMaker 5.0. I honestly don't know if it belonged to me or was something I got from one of the used Macs I've acquired through the years. The fact is, I can't use these disk images. Disk Copy 6.3.3 (or its older...

Which is, better worded, what I was led to think by the PowerBook's behaviour. (And by the way, I apologise for my verbose rambling in my last PM -- I was indeed frustrated by what I thought was an irreversible situation.) Cheers! Rick

Haha, yes indeed! Thinking over it, the whole situation does have a creepy touch. LOL. Thanks for your support :) Cheers! Rick

In a recent thread, I wrote: Well, guys, that fucker's alive! [:D] ]'> As Björk sang, I'm violently happy! After trying resetting the PMU countless times, disassembling the PowerBook 4 times, checking the checkable -- and re-checking, I was pretty sure it was all a matter of battery. "The...

Your site is wonderful. Of course I love the overall design and System 6/7 interface. On the "Unboxing a Macintosh" page, you wrote: "In my Macintosh 1984 you can find the signatures of the developer team, the same signatures (but more complete) used in the MacPlus later. They are not on...
