The Netscape 4.X Preferences dialogue box is too tall for your screen and the OK/Cancel buttons are hidden. I had the same issue on my Colour Classic before doing a 640x480 screen mod. Even at 640x480, the buttons are partially cut off IIRC.

If you remove the ATA controller, does the Rage 128 work properly? If so, I'd try both in the bottom three PCI slots. IIRC, the three bottom slots each have a dedicated PCI bus, while the top three slots share a single bus. Sometimes the 9500 and 9600 can present some PCI voodoo as a result.

I'd get rid of that lamp too- if it's causing damage like that with the correct bulb and shade installed, it's a fire hazard.

Here's an especially affordable MiniDock: http://www.ebay.com/itm/152423851200

I would expect Netscape 3.x to behave better on that Mac. With any version, I'd recommend disabling JavaScript (and Java) in Preferences to improve usability and stability. If 3.x still won't deal with loband and Macintosh Garden gracefully with JavaScript disabled, I'd look for other causes.

I double checked on my 8.1 CD. One disk is 68k, the other is PPC. The 68k disk should be all you need.

Does this IDE-CF adapter have more than one CF slot? I've not had luck with those on Macs that only support one hard drive on the IDE bus. I've not tried an adapter with a female connector on a Mac before. Usually those plug directly into the motherboard IDE connector on a PC. Perhaps the...

I was just installing Mac OS 8.1 today and noticed there's a directory on the CD to make a "Disk Tools" 2 disk floppy set.

Ahhh. Can you verify it has the latest firmware installed via your Windows PC? I remember my 20GB clickwheel being problematic with USB on a tray loading iMac with the original firmware. I didn't ever try using it under classic Mac OS though. If it's the same model as this, it apparently...

Do you see the same behaviour if you connect the iPod to the iBook with USB? On your main Mac, can you confirm the iPod is formatted as "Mac" and not "PC." You could also try turning off iPod disk mode using iTunes on your main Mac, then connecting to the iBook again to see if the freeze is...

Correct. No one makes nor has anyone ever made Nubus USB controllers. Mac OS 8.1 is the first to support USB with the right add-on software, but only on supported PCI based PPC Macs. There is no driver support for USB in 68k versions of Mac OS, so there was little incentive for hardware...

Hooray! Does the HFS+ storage partition seem to function well?

I think it's actually French Canadian - note the Canadian flag keyboard layout icon near the clock.

Daxeria, thanks for the note about DiskDup+ 2.7. MountImage seemed pretty unstable on my SE FDHD running System 6.0.8, so I'll definitely give it a try.

That's a special SCSI bridge device used with PowerBooks that don't support SCSI Disk Mode. I think you have a typo in the FCC ID. It should read KAJSAIELLH0000001 Excerpt from MacWorld, June 1994 issue: "The PowerBook 140, 145, 145B, and 170 lack the necessary ROM code for SCSI disk mode...

I figured as much, but it was worth a shot. Have you tried making the HFS partition 4GiB or less? The Quadra 630 and siblings (including the Performa 640) are not officially supported by SCSI Manager 4.3, which is required in order for Mac OS 7.6.x and 8 to deal with HFS partitions larger than...

You might need to try a HFS (standard) boot partition for the System Folder and HFS+ storage partition for the rest of the capavity if you haven't already.

MountImage is the only one I'm familiar with.

I fired up my Colour Classic to refresh my memory with making a special "translator" printer. Apple Desktop Printer Utility is the magic piece of software. On my drive, it was in the /Apple Extras/LaserWriter/ directory. http://download.cnet.com/Apple-Printer-Utility/3000-2072_4-408.html...
