I voted 7.1 and WordPerfect 2.1 because that's what you ran on it for the longest time. If it was my machine that's what I would have done.

My XFWM4 desktop used to be set so that you double-click the titlebars to make the windows "shade". Perhaps they changed that in newer versions?

I did exactly that :) ! I used a diode and stole some power from the 5V rail to charge the cap up. I could then leave the Mac off for up to 5 minutes and still be able to turn it on again without a double-flick (and the clock kept the correct time as well).

I used a SCSI PCI card which I got at the same time as the hard drive (I think I already said this in the first post). I used a useful hard drive imaging utility called "HDD RawCopy" (or something like that) to create a raw image of the drive under Windows. I then used a Macintosh emulator...

I have found that... that's why I disabled Javascript :) . But it was still incredibly slow, even with javascript and images turned off. I think I'll stick to coding rather |) .

I'm more concerned about the joystick, not the AUI port. The ethernet port's still working, so that's fine. P.S. This was posted from a Compaq Prolinea 3/25zs running Windows 3.1 and Internet Explorer 5 ;) . It took me a good 10 minutes to post, though. Speaking of which, why is it so slow...

I remember getting about 5 mins off of a 4400 uF capacitor array. After that the clock lost time and I had to double-flick it to start it. 300 F should last about a week without recharging.

It is the same is the smaller linked picture. I hope I haven't broken anything :-/ ... I was wondering why the port had the strangest (and non-functional) screw-holes that I had ever seen!

Hi! Remember this post? http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=210335#p210335 Remember what I said here? Well... Dad was up there last weekend, so I phoned him up and asked if he could bring that machine home with him. I managed to get it past Mom as well, since I said that it was only a...

Umm... The guy I got my Mac's current hard drive from gave me a Conner... But apparently it's an "extra durable" model (by coincidence, I guess). The kind you would find in a hospital, or even a space shuttle. I did think that Conner's were quite popular back in the day, weren't they? But then...

Sorry. But definately don't delete the preferances files.

I used to have a hard drive and a floppy drive. The hard drive broke. I ran the Mac from floppies. The floppy drive broke (bottom head cracked during a clumsy re-alignment operation). I got a free hard drive from a PC guy we know. Thus I do not have a floppy drive.

Here's my suggestion: Automate long disk-swapping sessions by allowing the user to select two disks and then automatically switch between them when one is ejected. A little while back I was working on a LEGO contraption to do it with real floppies, but that failed because LEGO and floppies...

Ask dougg3. If anyone knows, it's him. And the reason I say this is because he had to recalculate the checksum of his ROMs every time he changed them.

If the sticker on the drive says "Quantum" then it's definately the hard drive. Those hard drives always fail after a while. Take a look at http://68kmla.org/forums/viewtopic.php?p=157874#p157874 if you're keen to risk trying to fix it. For a temporary fix (to recover your data), I've heard...

Bad system software on my Mac after a forced reboot caused the exact same symptoms. Reinstall the system software. Or try booting from a floppy and see what's on the drive.

BMOW strikes again! The FloppyEmu V2, now a fully functional, fully compatible, fully bootable, fully usable floppy disk emulator for any Classic Macintosh! Just like your CPU.

And when you can hardly afford food for the week, you really think you'd spend a whopping 6 pounds on a floppy drive? (And besides, I need auto eject.)

Presumably not what mine looked like after recapping! Caps stuck on at all angles with large blobs of solder looking like they're about to fall over!

I think focus is an overall adjustment, and won't obviously help here.
