I've been having bits and pieces shipped in this week and I'm testing them on my 6100. Since the hard drive is ridiculously limited, I bought an SCA drive and an adapter since I had read that this works. Image of drive Image of adapter (50pin side) Image of adapter (SCA side) So I plugged...

I'm afraid I can't help but I wanted to at least say I support what you're doing! I don't know if conversions are the best idea, but you can do what you want. If you're not very familiar with developing games at all yet, maybe start a little simpler just to test the ropes. Don't get over...

Just to note about MintPPC... I tried it on a 500mhz Pismo, which pretty much has similar specs to the 500mhz iBook (same graphics card, etc). I was not satisfied at all. X didn't work to initially, a known problem, so I had to find a xorg.conf file on the MintPPC forums for the Pismo that...

I have two 6100/60av's with no cache, so I just bought one for each. Came out to around 4 bucks total after shipping, which still isn't that bad for the performance increase.

It seems to vary from location to location, but I've heard that (in general) if they get collectible stuff they know they can make really good money on, it usually never even hits the local store floors. It gets sent to some central facility and they auction the stuff for high prices on a...

I always put Tetris Max on my Macs. I love it! I'm surprised you managed to get away with using the name Tetris for as long as you did, though.

My first computer, a Performa 600, has been dead for about a year with a bad power supply. Looking at it recently and getting a wave of nostalgia, I decided that once I get a replacement one, I want to upgrade the crap out of it, so that it can be a really nice 68k machine to do general...

Well, I reformatted the OS X partition and installed OS X again and it worked completely fine. Both OSes are running well. I have no idea what the problem was, but it works fine now!

Apparently that is not the case in Open Firmware/New World ROM based Macs. Either way, I first got this with the original hard drive (13GB) having OS X on it as one big partition-- it'd be possible that system files could pass the 8 GB barrier there and then it wouldn't work, so I can see that...

I'm trying to get a dual-boot going between OS 9.2.2 and Tiger on my Pismo. I have a 30GB hard drive in it, which is partitioned with 18GB for OS9 and 12GB for Tiger. OS 9 is installed fine. I put in the Tiger disc and installed it to the second partition, but when I reboot into it, I get the...

Thank you for all the suggestions. I'll probably drop a thread in the Trading Post in a bit as soon as I get some cash.

Ahaha, I'm all the way in Indiana, that wouldn't work.

The network idea is fantastic, and my Mac is already surrounded by PCs that could easily take on the job. However, there's one gigantic issue, and that's that I have no way of hooking the 6100 into anything. I'd first have to hunt down an AAUI-ethernet adapter... and from what I remember...

So, my only functional Mac right now is a 6100/60av. Mostly, I just use it to write stuff and play old (almost exclusively 68k) games. But it always seems a bit pokey. I know the 6100 isn't that great anyway, but since it may be a while until I can get anything better-suited I am trying to...

It reminds me a bit of the chime on the 20th Anniversary Macintosh.

I think the problem is in the power supply. (Keyword: I think. To be extremely, extremely honest, I'm mostly a software guy and don't know much about electronics otherwise... and definitely not power supplies) I opened up the power supply (well, sorta, I can only get the top partially off...

Hmm, there are very few caps on the board that I can see, but none of them appear to have leaked. The logic board looks nice and clean.

Hi, first post here. Nice to see a community for the ol' 68k Macs. I have this Performa 600, stock except that it has been upgraded to 20MB of memory. It was my first computer, so I've kept it around for nostalgic purposes even though it is such a terrible performer in the Mac world. I...
