Got this from a good friend of mine for free. No power adapter, so i dont know the specs (or if it even works), but it looks to be in decent shape! Missing the leaf, but aren't they all? Haha. If i were to be real picky, I would get a new front bezel (part near the apple is cracked) and a...

yea it's a 3rd party mouse of some sort. The seller apparently did not have the original, and I have yet to get a different one. On the bright side, it was new in box! LOL!

nice! Just sent in my email.

First test on an actual mac!   I finally got the DNS settings working, and it is now running on a dedicated VPS.

Cool, thanks! I also discovered the common failure was sites (of mine) using 000webhost. It should work fine now.

just disabled stuff I didn't need and it ran fine. I am having a load of unimplemented trap + illegal instruction issues with MacTCP and FreePPP... the MacTCP on 7.5.3 just wouldnt work, and I had to resort to MacPPP as well.

Thats pretty darn cool honestly. I believe the one I ended up with was my dads old work computer... It too had broken hinges.

Man even though I'm still technically "a kid" this totally brings memories to me. I took apart everything I could get my hands on, and most things didn't make it back alive. The most notable for me was an old (yet fully functional still) CTX EZBook... Those things seem increasingly rare, and I...

Same results with all extensions turned off via the extension manager. Boots up fine while holding shift to load without extensions, though.

It seems to go farther, but still the same results. It's some sort of extensions issue.

Man every time I hear a "horror story" about these computers it makes me wonder how in the world mine had none of that... On the bright side, trace damage can be repaired. At least it wasn't a battery bomb that results in un-savable board + case. The 8-Bit Guy just did a video about repairing...

Going to attempt an OS reinstall and carefully look over each item to make sure it's compatible.

Just at first glance, the trace going to D1 definitely looks rough. C1 looks kinda rough too. I also put a few arrows on questionable spots: Those two ICs near the bottom center look like they have corrosion on them.

Browsing the big world of Google makes it seem like there could be damage to the board from the battery or capacitors. Open it up and take a look. And like AwkwardPotato said, send us some pictures to narrow down the issue. If the battery didn't explode (which is common), first remove that...

The machine is maxed out at 4mb ram, and is using an external SCSI drive to boot, with a 4gb and ~300mb partition (the latter being the boot partition).

before anyone replies, let me preface this with: I KNOW the hardware should not realistically be using this version. That's not my question :p I successfully installed OS 7.5.3 using the archive.org page of the original (legal) apple.com downloads. I booted it up for the first time, only to...

Hmm.. Tried to access http://nocss.ml and it loads ~400 bytes then gives a 500 error. Google loaded about 2000 bytes and then the system crashed LOL.

I may have fixed it with a few iptables rules: #first do this sudo echo "1" > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/ip_forward #then these sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o ppp0 -j MASQUERADE sudo iptables -t nat -A POSTROUTING -o eth0 -j MASQUERADE sudo iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -i ppp0 -p tcp...

I decided to use the method found in a reply on my thread/tutorial for using serial for internet on a mac. This shows details on how to use a Raspberry PI instead of a mac to achieve the same result. Everything went just fine, but again, I cannot access any outside domains. MacWeb returns...

:O that's impressive
