Bunsen added: I was thinking along similar lines. If you mounted an Apple HD20SC enclosure underneath the SE/30 chassis, you could could create an "invisible" enhancement.

onlyonemac asked: Every time that you boot the Mac and it gets as far as looking at the hard disk, the Mac logs the fact (on the disk) that it tried to boot. With System 7.5 (?), Mac OS looks at the log and if there are failed boots, it flags the disk for repair. Boot will be slower. Given...

thatsteve asked: Yes. Boot the LCIII+ from its hard disk and copy the hard disk contents to a folder on a share somewhere else. Repartition. Boot the LCIII+ using the Network Access Disk (if it is not still an Apple download, ask) and copy it all back. Copying it all back will be slower than...

Apologies for the simplified explanation that follows. I'm trying to explain the complexities rather than to define all of the possibilities. In ye olde PC world, most systems of the 1980s and 1990s use a simple partitioning system. There is a Primary partition -- which is usually the only one...

Err, enable verbose logging on the SE/30 if possible. Then talk to the devs -- in the bug report, identify model and OpenBSD version.

Brett B wrote: It sounds self inflicted. Have you run something on Mac OS 8 upwards that you didn't run on System 7? Do the Mac OS 8 devices connect to a network share that earliers do not?

A followup to this post was mistakenly added at: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=18705#p176324 Could a mod plonk it over here, please?

Do the files "lose" association (ie behavioural change), or are they ones that you have downloaded from the internet? When you download a file from the internet, the default behaviour of Mac OS is to treat it as a random binary file, unless you (or the application that you used for download)...

Does behaviour change if you modify RAM size, SCSI bus, ADB, external floppy drive presence, serial port impedance?

I'm interested in this project, Trash, but can you explain it from the beginning. I am not familiar with the Gemini card but I will start reading your other project thread: viewtopic.php?f=29&t=17721

I think that's a good story, kingchops. If you stick to the recipe -- install appropriate drivers and configure MacTCP in its arcane way -- it really just works. The problem now is to find resources on the internet that use FTP and Telnet. I daresay if you scan hard enough, you'll find a Unix...

Sony UK sent a van to pickup AppleVision 1710s when we had a collection that needed servicing. I suspect that Sony were heavily involved in the manufacture but I don't have the time to investigate further. Shadow mask seems to have emerged at Mitsubishi (see...

In System 6 and earlier, the Desktop Manager (apologies if the name is inaccurate) is not very sophisticated. When file associations are broken, you can often fix them by locating the application that you want to open a file type and duplicating it. Then delete the original version. The...

Applied Engineering promised video and ethernet options for this board and its mates (TransWarp SE, 1300 and 2300). It seems plausible that they used the Radius Magicbus for the add-ons which they didn't have to make themselves. AE were a serious engineering company so there would have been...

Trash wrote: We could make a good guess based on serial numbers. For the 17" Trinitrons, my guess is that they were OEMed by Sony (I sent my last one to recycling years ago, so I can't check). The same would apply to large displays used by Sun, RasterOps, SuperMac et al.

Bunsen wrote: True enough. The catch all description Extension can be very confusing because it includes INITs (which patch the OS at boot), OS plug-ins (eg Chooser extensions) and Libraries (like DLLs). However to resolve a startup clash, you only need to worry about Extensions and Control...

Brain failure on my part. My own photo identifies it as Apple IIe Card (For the Macintosh LC) http://www.vintagemacworld.com/lc_card/photos/box1a.jpg The Apple II Workstation Card was the LocalTalk board for the II.

by eraser » Fri Jun 08, 2012 9:02 pm I hate to think about how the Remote Access software would abuse that NuBus card. The PhoneNet Star controllers (from Farallon and others) had a processor in them so that they functioned more like network routers than bridges.

When they were new models, I recall running labs of Quadra 610s and PowerMac 6100s. In the 610 lab we endured incompetent physical burglary and incompetent password snooping. In the 6100 lab, I recall stupid psu failures owing to overheating. If your 6100 is still running, put a few wooden...

spiceyokooko's words sound harsh but the OP should follow that advice. There is no need, most of the time, for a third party extensions manager. It comes free with System 7.5 onwards, and that version can be retrofitted to System 7.0 onwards or you can dig out the version that Apple offered on...
