Yeah I'll be looking into some options for that and potentially more RAM.

Couple weeks ago I found a PowerBook 520c at the local Value Village. Thing had been kicking around on random shelves for probably a month, and the power supply had also gone missing. Paid $12.99 for it to save it from eventually being thrown out. Had to order a power adapter online to make it...

Yeah I think I cd booted a 475 and Color Classic recently but my SE/30 sad Mac bombed right away. Thought I was doing something wrong and didn't consider it simply wasn't supported.

Yeah after I had no other ideas I tried a full wash. Didn't help.

Got a Classic I wanted to try the ROM boot trick with so it has no internal hard drive installed. I noticed both before and after recapping the board it never reaches the blinking question mark point of the boot process. Basically only goes as far as having the mouse show up then just sits there...

Yeah I've got a lot of Macs I should recap at some point so I'll try on the less rare ones. I have two of the IIe cards but it doesn't look like I've got the cables. I'll probably look into buying one at some point.

Just checked the one I have left and it's with "color" on the label. Yeah I plan on recapping a bunch of my boards over the winter. I also have a local guy who has done solder work for me before in case I end up being real bad at it. Might just pay him to do the more valuable boards like the SE/30.

I think they were just "color" but I'll check when I get a chance. I also sold one to a friend but didn't really notice what the spelling was.

Yeah I checked the compact Mac internals already and zero battery leakage but the SE/30 and probably the Classic will need to be recapped. They don't LOOK bad but there's some glitches in operation. I'll probably pop open the PB 180s at some point and I'm currently using the 3400 as a floppy...

I picked this lot up few weeks ago for $100. Had to drive a few hours to grab everything but I wanted to make sure it didn't end up thrown out or something. Lots of goodies were included such as a box of SCSI drives, stacks of floppy disks, Apple IIe cards for LCs, spare components (LC575...

The SCSI Zip has a switch on the back for termination on/off. Also a switch to toggle between ID 5 or 6.

Yep, if you compile with any of the options (compression, ciphers, etc) you really need to install a number of libraries. Your basic stock "no options" install I think only really relies on libreadline and a small handful of others that may or may not be a default install with your chosen...

It may be CD image related. When I did my A/UX install probably around a decade ago I used the windows version of cdrtools which essentially was using a DOS prompt. Might find more info on this page which I made around the time of the installation: http://aux.preterhuman.net/

Yeah probably from a dealer or something. Here is a crappy pic of the iBook promo banner I got from a London Drugs (Apple dealer up here in Canada) employee:

Haha this takes me back to when I had 7.1 on my IIsi and no internet access on it. I could only dial up from a 486 w/ Windows and copy stuff on floppies. My local library had a Mac book which included stuffit expander on a floppy disk. I withdrew that book more than once.

Everything is back now.

Hi there, indeed there are some problems with the volume holding all the files. I switched my hardware around recently and had to change the way the files are served. So far I'm still running into problems but I suspect I will have this resolved by the end of this week.

Probably hang on to it for now :)

Swapped in a full 040 and non-noisy HD. The external CD-ROM is an Apple one so it worked fine booting off my OS8 cd. Seems I put my CC in storage as I was going to nab the ethernet card from it. I'll have to go get it tomorrow.
