Btw. I tested these games on my MacII with 256color-board and the color-versions work fine because there is no quickdraw-glitch on the mac II. But I have to say that I love my LC more than the Mac II.
There is a trick so you can play AGI versions in B+W on a LC without glitches.
1. You need the version that is not locked at 512x384. It must center on 640x480.
2. You have to put the mouse-pointer aside. Move it to the top or to the bottom BEFORE you start.
3. If you completely stick to the...
How did it turn out? Did you change the fan or did you put a fan-controler in the power supply?
I am also thinking about reducing the noise and the fan is very noisy in my macintosh II.
I currently have the color-graphics-card in my setup. The 3,5" SCSI-HDD will be changed to SCSI2SD, so no heat...
Is it possible to put the IIcx Roms in a LC in order to have 24bit quickdraw-routines?
The IIcx should have 24Bit Quickdraw-routines, from the IIci and above all macs had 32Bit quickdraw-routines.

Based on the response...
There might be another way to fix this on later macs. The AGI Versions 1.5 do work on later macs (LC475) in Black and White. Color does not work.
But the LC has ROM's that can be taken out. So if somebody whould change the rom from 32bit quickdraw to 24bit quickdraw, everything would be fine...
ADTpro does not work on MacOS7/8/9, MacADT does not work with IIgs images.
So the best way is to copy diskimages via serial connection (I have PM7300<>AppleIIgs)
and write the disks on the IIgs? Perhaps transferring smaller files (.shk) would be best?
Any ideas? thx!
Hi there. I own some Doscards and I got all to work except one. This one is making me nuts.
Quadra700 = 68K/PPC-Card and Nubus DosCard 386dx working 7.1.3
PM6100/66 = 486DX2/66 Doscard
PM7300/500 = 166Mhz PCI Doscard
But the OrangePC 620 in my G3-Desktop is driving me nuts.
My K6 400 is...
Very interesting topic. I bought a LC1 in order to play the old sierra games and wondered that they even with system6 do not run without glitches.
Now I know why. Ony guy with a q700 played SQ2 on youtube but as you probably have noticed there are glitches above the gamewindow.
what a pity...
Hi there interesting topic. I have trouble with my OPC-620. It does not recognize the K6 Processor and also does not use the cdrom.
The card is in a g3-desktop. I will upgrade to g4-zif if that is possible and does not collide with the opc-620.
...but it does not work yet.
OS 7.6.1 is installed, a reboot starts very short, but after that I the the Image of a Disk with a "?".
Any idea, what went wrong?
Greetings Doc
...it seems to be that you are right. using tiger with usb to ide and unchecking os9 drivers leeds a a initializing drive while boot os 7.61 cd on the 630dos,
...currently installing 7.61...hdd shows 18,5gb free...os 7.6.1 installer says 2gb free, 70mb required...we will see.
Thx for the advice!
Hi, that's a tricky one.
I got a 630DOS recently, but mine has no HardDrive. I recognized that is has an IDE cable, so there must be an IDE Harddrive connected to it.
I put a very silent 20GB HDD in it. OS 7.6.1 CD booted but does not recognize the harddrive.
I got a 4,5GB Apple Branded Drive...
