Gotcha. I misunderstood the scenario. I thought you were working with CC:mail on the PowerBook 5x0 and thus might have your 7300 available as a support machine. I would definitely try reverting to Acrobat 3 since v. 4 is PPC only. If the 7.5.5 installation was copied over from the PowerBook...

There's not one ideal browser for that machine. I have a 575 logic board and 68MB of RAM in my Colour Classic and I favour Netscape Communicator 4.0.8 (with Java and JavaScript disabled) in Mac OS 7.6.1. If I'm in System 7.5.5, I use Netscape Navigator 3.0.4 or iCab 2.9.9. Communicator 4.0.8...

Looking at that wallpaper in the screenshot, I might not have been far off with my "kitty5" password example!! I have a number of ideas how to get around the printing error. Pardon me if I've missed some of these details, but can you post the following details? Installed RAM: System/Mac OS...

Have you looked in the resource fork of the application itself? Also, could the twelve character resource you mentioned be the password with padding? I've seen a few very simplistic ways of "securing" plain text passwords in vintage software before. Let's pretend the stored string is...

Without the dock or floppy drive, or removing the hard drive, the only way to transfer something would be with LocalTalk via the serial port with another Mac.

The 128GB addressing limit does apply to the PowerBook 1400 and all other built in ATA controllers in Macs prior to about 2002. Other than that issue, I'm not aware of any quirks with the 1400. There's an issue on Old World ROM Macs where the Mac OS X partition should reside within the first...

Have you been able to successfully run a repair on the disk in First Aid?  My other thought would be to check the Master/Slave/Cable Select jumper on the drive.  The drive should be set to Master for use on the logic board ATA controller, particularly as this is a Rev. 1 board which typically...

I've tried the OpenWRT route myself as well, and it does work nicely once configured.  I discovered that DD-WRT and Tomato were unable to change the speed/duplex settings on the particular hardware revision of my WRT-54GL routers -- apparently my routers have a slightly different ethernet switch...

My guess is that the optical drive is at fault since the installer is having issues accessing components on the discs. The drive may just need cleaning. Most cleaning CDs require audio CD playback, so you'd need a working OS on the iMac. I'd try booting the installer CDs from a FireWire...

The best "plug it in and it will work" devices for this application are 10Base-T hubs or switches. Many Ethernet cards for 68k Macs do not play nicely with 10/100 and 10/100/1000 switches as they fail autonegotiation with those switches. You can get a managed switch and manually configure one...

LazarusNine, the LC 475 doesn't have a FPU socket as the 68LC040 CPU is socketed and can be replaced with a 68040 that includes FPU.

This looks very much like a corrupted System file to me. Does the Sad Mac occur if the PC Card adapter and CF card are taken out prior to powering up? If so, try resetting the PRAM - this should ensure the Mac tries booting from the internal HD. If you still get the same error, the issue is...

Don't the batteries in the II, IIx, and IIfx supply power to ADB for the keyboard power on button? Maintaining that in addition to PRAM and RTC with no mains power could conceivably chew through batteries much more quickly than in other Macs.

Does it say this only when you double click on the file, or also if you try to open it from within QT Picture Viewer with File->Open? If File->Open works, but not double clicking, then the creator and type are not associated with the right application. Mac OS ignores file extensions...

I'll vote for a cocktail of Bitdefender Free and MalwareBytes. (Once it's been nuked of course.)

All drives capable of writing to 800k disks are capable of writing to 400k disks as well. It comes down to filesystem/OS compatibility beyond that. System 7.5.x can write to existing 400k MFS disks on compatible 68k and PPC Macs. 7.1 (update 3) is the latest that can format disks as 400k MFS...
