I've got a few copies from my apple technician days in the 90's. It's nothing special, but it works when nothing else will. Just be sure to read up on any bugs in the release you have. FWB toolkit is not bug free by any means.

Throttle down the cache or disable it to install. After throttling the cache all the way down I was able to get OSX to boot and run before my 9600 bit the dust :(

sounds like a termination issue. Try this, boot off a floppy, or the internal HD, then once the machine is up, open up Drive Setup, hook-up the external SCSI device(I use to hot swap SCSI drives all the time, never burnt one out), then re-scan the SCSI bus(es) in Drive Setup. Have you tried...

I use to play Falcon 4.0 over appletalk on a couple of Quadra 950's back in the day. Anyway I could get a copy of that from you? ;D

A little late but.... You are using low density memory only right? The cheaper high density modules won't work.

Oh man this machine I had forgotten about. I have an ES 275mhz G3 card sitting around somewhere that I got off of eBay a while back. All it said was G3 275mhz on the side but the stupid card wouldn't work in my 9600. I'll have to find that card now and see if it's anything special or just a dud...

Excellent! where(how) ever did you find this archive?

Hey, does anyone have the procedure to overclock the 6200 motherboard from 37.5mhz bus to 40mhz? Takashi's 6xxx overclocking site hasn't been around for awhile( http://www.bekkoame.ne.jp/~t-imai/pm52e1.html ) so I was wondering if anyone might have backed up that site to disk, or remembers just...

But your question is about formating because it is not that the 6100 has a HD size ceiling, but that either the drive you are using, or the software you are trying to format it with is not supported and that is the issue. Formating the HD in another machine with native IDE support, and then...

If you had another system with native IDE support, why didn't you just format it with that system in the first place?

Lido? Never heard of it. use FWB hard disk toolkit. Or just go onto ebay and purchase a 36gb SCSI drive. They are selling for 99c right now. That's what I had in my 9600 with an SCA to SCSI adapter, worked great.

In my experience the 604e, and 604ev is considerably faster Floating Point wise than the G3. The G3 is after all nothing more than a refined 603e with better integer performance. My 9600/350 ran circles around a 300mhz G3 card in Strata for rendering. Norton System Info also showed the 604e...

The 4400 was not a bad machine, an odd-ball machine, but not a bad one. I really don't remember too many 4400's coming into my shop. Maybe one or two, never any serious issues. I kind of liked the machine, always had a place in my heart for it for some reason. And the board is "LPX", not ATX.

1366x768 is a non-standard resolution.

I'm sorry porter, not trying to make enemies already, but you are incorrect. I just formatted a seagate 40GB IDE drive in my Frankenstein 630(6200 motherboard) that I pieced back together(use together very loosely) and it formated just fine. The pic is from my cell phone, the machine is kind of...

The 7200's were never popular and if I remember correctly(which could be wrong) they had some serious QC issues and bugs in the design. You are a brave man for trying to upgrade a 7200 :lol:

Umm.. I don't remember any 2gb limit on HFS. I remeber that the custer sizes were huge after 2gb's, but there is no limit, and I have a quadra 630 sitting right here(need to put it back together) that I should test this out on. I need to scrape the corrosion off my gray matter anyways :p and...

Hello, as I said before, I use to work at a repair shop and I have tons of macintosh stuff just lying around and now that I have found this forum, I'm going to pump some of you guys here for info :p I have 3 - 68040 accelerators, they are made by "Sixty Eight Thousand, Inc." They appear to...

Aaaa... the 6100 doesn't use IDE. It uses SCSI and I don't really remember an upper limit on the size of the hard drive. As long as you are running system 7.5.3 there really is not a limit you will reach anytime soon. Did you mean you have a 6200?

I love the 6100 series, strangely thou I never liked them when they came out. The 7100 series I never really liked simply because of the IIvx case design it used. I always found that case to be flimsy and it always seemed to vibrate especially when a CD ROM was used. There's nothing wrong with...
