Love that this thread exists. Wiki content?

Hmm, could be Kid Pix? "Minigames" and Wacky TV.

For my Q630 (No CD drive!) I used an Ubuntu Live CD, and a PATA to USB adapter on my PC to partition (with hfsprogs and diskpart) my unused, period-correct 10GB WD Caviar. I then plopped the System 7 installation media on it's own partition from Ubuntu. I booted from the install partition on the...

Wow, I'm amazed some of it was so well preserved...

Nice solution! It works like a charm, too. :) There is only one technical drawback... the VHD cannot be attached to the host OS with the VM running. In order to even start the VM, the VHD must be detached from the host OS; and in order to access files locally, the VM must be shut down, and...

So! The Windows 2000 Server works! I set up a test share and did a few read/write operations. It runs way smoother than Netatalk to boot, too. The only problem is "re-sharing" the VirtualBox shared folder through Services For Macintosh... Windows 2000 sees the folder as a network drive, and you...

Dang, that's awesome! I was so hopeless, but good job!

Apparently there is a bug in Netatalk that makes VM shared folders behave all wonky, they don't recommend sharing VM shared folders... That would explain why it wouldn't mount correctly. So, that option is out if I'm going to run it in a VM. Other users trying to set up something similar have...

Take pictures, please!

This is just to record my experience trying to get a Windows server to fileshare with an OS 9 client. Just in case someone makes the same google searches I did. I'm running Windows 7 on the server, and Mac OS 9.2.2 on the Mac (G4 MDD). Some serverside software had to be run in an Ubuntu Virtual...

I think I would need the sled too. My Q630 never had a CD drive in it. Maybe we can discuss in PM's?

My mother uses PowerPC all the time, as a full-time personal computer! She has a MDD G4 running OS 10.4, and uses Firefox/Camino/Thunderbird/Netscape with minimal problems. I keep trying to get her to switch to something more modern (you know, so I don't have to constantly fix issues on the...

I would be interested in buying that from you! An Apple CD 600i would work in a Quadra 630, I'd imagine?

Oh wow, what a find! I was curious about this as well.

Maybe a USB-Parallel adapter would work for you?

I can't help you, but may I ask why you "desperately" need it?

I want to cram a 10K RPM enterprise SCSI drive into a LaCie Joule HD external case to replace the dead drive inside. Reference/backstory thread: https://68kmla.org/forums/index.php?/topic/25838-lacie-joule-730-hd-problems/ I know I need an 80-pin SCA-2 to 50-Pin adapter, but does anyone know...

Oh wow, I didn't know that about the GL models!

+1 On the old Linksys router suggestion. Just make sure it's a model that can run DD-WRT so you can easily configure it. When you plop DD-WRT on one of those babies, you can do just about anything with it, including setting it up as a 10BASE-T switch for vintage Mac NIC's.

Most of those adapters use the sense pins to tell the Mac what video resolutions the monitor is capable of supporting. Usually this is set using dip-switches on the adapter itself. It also determines what resolution to use/force when the Mac starts up.
