    Opened up my 512K

    The back room is finally cleared so now I'm getting my 512K tidied up and cleaned before I fire it up for the first time (hopefully not the last) and then sorting out the 4xHD20s and SCSI HDD I've scrounged up for it. So, popped the 512K open to check the caps and general condition. Pleasantly...

    Mac SEx :) (sort of)

    I had the same problem with the document system SCRIPT/VS on the mainframe. The macro language was integer only, and the equivalent command to the BASIC LET statement was .SE (SEt symbol) .se a = &b + 2 So I wrote an enhancement to provide floating point variables, statistical functions...

    Hackwine FREE, SCSI ZIP 100 Compact Mac Install

    Superb mod there!! It even follows Apples current design philosophy of reach around behind the machine to put an SD card in the back of an iMac. If/when I get a spare SCSI Zip drive, I'll definitely have to follow your lead on this. Cheers!

    Best HDD for an iBook G4?

    I put a 7200rpm drive into my G3 iBook years ago, no problems, heat or otherwise. It was the first time I had to virtually strip down laptop to replace anything, and a couple of hours later everything was in place, and no bits left over :) Go for it, but just make sure of the drive height...

    Format 1.4mb disk for 800k

    I haven't tried this myself,nut from what I've read it is best to use "new" media, at least unused media, and then only as an emergency disk. I purchase new old stock every now and again to keep variety of unused media available, as well as keeping my old disks stored well. As to where, well...

    Got me a 1Ghz 15" G4 Ti Powerbook

    Yes, the TiBooks were great machines. A TiBook-800 was my main laptop until I upgraded to a MBP 2.3 C2D. Treat your TiBook carefully, as the only real fault they had was a failing lower SO-DIMM slot. Mine dropped back to a 512MB, but as I hadn't got overly attached to it I passed it onto a...

    MacOS 9 Lives! New fansite.

    The 60GB SSD (OWC with Sandforce Controller for built-in TRIM support) running 10.5.8 is on the PCI SATA controller, just wasn't able to find one supported by MOS9, so I'll try to get the 60GB working on 9.2.2 using a SATA/IDE adapter, and put a larger SSD for 10.5.8, probably a 256GB...

    MacOS 9 Lives! New fansite.

    My QS2002 might not be "Holy Grail", but with the Duet 1.8G upgrade it certainly is my preferred desktop machine. Pity it only has a max of 1.5GB RAM. I think for its next birthday I'll by it a new SSD for 10.5, and put a IDE/SATA adapter on the 60GB SSD for 9.22 to play with.

    Sonnet G4 Upgrade

    If it didn't come with any doco, get to the Sonnet site and re-re-re-read everything. As CHC said, you'll probably have to do a firmware upgrade before you install the Upgrade. I added the 1.8Gz Duet into my QS2002, and following the steps there were no problems.
