@techknight, I am also interested on how to fix the stuck heads. I have 2 Quantum HD that have the same problem. I thought they were dead but maybe not yet... :) Thanks a lot! Good catch MaritimerAbroad! It is a great computer!

Hey Mark, If you have another SCSI Mac with a CD Rom drive that would accept an extra SCSI drive, you can do the following : Place your CC drive on your second Mac and erase it Still on your second Mac, make a disk image of your install CD with diskcopy Copy this disk image on your CC drive...

This script is generated by the recording button and just going to the finder. It works well on Mac OS 8.1. I tried different scrips and I always get an error. However, when a script is pre-compiled, everything works well. It is just the compiler that fails here  :( Maybe something is messed...

I have tried to do some scripting with applescript on my 9500 (System 7.6.1) and I am always having the same error. This is a strange one and it is always coming back when I try to run a script (even the most simple script). Has anyone ever had this error? Is it something that wasn't installed...

Wow, I would love to have such a tool! Autosave would be perfect for me as all the files I work with on my 9500 are stored on my Mac Pro (through AppleShare). They would automatically be saved in my time machine drive without me ever worrying about saving then on system 7. :) If you can...

Thanks Elfen! Best saving my files quite often then! ;)

When I have a crash on my system 7, I can notice "Rescued Items" in the trash. I was just wondering if those files represent the state of the RAM before the crash and if they are still usable? I crashed my system while photoshop was open. There is a rescued file called "Photoshop Temp24162" but...

Thanks for the tips Elfen!

Thanks for your help IPalindromel! I have found a way to correctly print with Photoshop 5.5 (which was my main problem). With a print preview I would have changed the scale (%) of the output to fit into my A4 page. It is what I do on OS X but I guess this is not the good way to do it. At least...

A quick question : Is there a way to get a print preview of the page I am about to print on System 7? Just to check if everything fits well on the page. Thanks! :)

Thank you so much Gorgonops! It works perfectly! :)

I have setup an appletalk network between Mac OS X / Linux and System 7.6.1 When opening a shared folder from System 7, is there a way to tell the finder to always open the .txt files created on the Unix systems with something other than SimpleText? (For example BBEdit Lite) SimpleText doesn't...

Thank you for the tip uniserver! I will keep the 60MHz at the moment. I am not very comfortable with motherboard manipulation...

I reinstalled the system and the problem was solved! :)

Thank you for the advise trag! I did notice that the old heat sink grease was dry. I have some new grease so I will replace the old one. Something else : I managed to install system 7.6.1 on this machine. Every time I restart the computer, my changes from the Views control panel (icons size)...

Thank you all for your help! I just removed the motherboard and components, cleaned everything, put everything back and the 6100 has startup! :) I took a picture of the motherboard for you to see if there is anything wrong. I removed the processor Heatsink for the picture but I put it back...

I haven't used my 6100 for a very long time. Today, I tried to boot it up but it didn't want to. The green light goes on and I could hear the hard drive spinning but there was no startup chime and no picture on the screen.  The computer has some RAM and a brand new battery in it. The hard drive...

I would say that the amount of RAM really depends on the apps you use. Tiger was not very heavy and the OS by itself works well with 256MB. It starts to be slow when you open apps that require a lot of RAM. Personally, I have worked with a Powerbook G4 having 1GB of RAM for many years and never...

The GS105 should be fine and the problem is more related to the software side in my opinion. I have never tried to connect a mac running 7.1 but it should work. All the protocols exited at the time of 7.1. You should make sure that you have installed all the network packages of system 7. What...

I have connected my LCIII through a Netgear GS105 switch and it works perfectly. Th LCIII has a PDS 10BaseT ethernet card and runs system 7.5
