    Installing DaynaPORT drivers on Plus under System6?

    You may want to convert the image to a Disc Copy 4.2 .image instead of a Disc Copy 6.3 .img System 6 Mount Image will mount it as locked. That's the way I've installed items that require a true 800k floppy disk.

    Anyone ever try using OpenTransport on a Mac II?

    Perhaps an 030 or 040 accelerator? DISCUSSION What's new in Open Transport 1.1.1 - general * Open Transport can now be used on the Performa and Power Macintosh 52xx, 53xx, 62xx and 63xx product lines. When you install OT 1.1.1 on a 52xx, 53xx, 62xx and 63xx computer, you may get a dialog box...

    Under System 6, DaynaPORT Installer kept asking me to insert ... itself.

    Good thing you figured it out and now it’s documented. There are SO many of these kinds of quirks, it’s tough to remember them all. Especially when you may only need the info every once in a while.

    Mac SE/30 not seeing all of the installed RAM

    Can you send pictures of the 1 MB SIMMs you're using?

    PDS Pi

    Without having any technical electronic hardware developmental experience at all, I think you have a interesting ideal and I'm surprised that more items haven't already surfaced using your idea. I had a thought years ago when some SE/30 owners were trying to wedge multiple PDS cards inside and...

    Mac SE/30 not seeing all of the installed RAM

    I'd try each set alone in bank A to see if each set at the very least works separately. Then follow this chart. https://lowendmac.com/2016/memory-upgrades-mac-se30/#:~:text=The%20Mac%20SE%2F30%20shipped,MB%20using%2016%20MB%20SIMMs.

    Any tips for repeatedly displaying an image fullscreen on System 7.5.5?

    If you install Akua Sweets 141 scripting addition in Mac OS 7.5.5 Scripting Additions Folder and have Quicktime 4.0 Installed then this script should work. With some work it can accept the newly downloaded file for your scenario instead of choosing a file. The first two lines work on a Mac IIsi...

    Any tips for repeatedly displaying an image fullscreen on System 7.5.5?

    @Huxley I've been using AppleScript to automate many tasks for years so I have some experience with the scripting language. GraphicConverter 4.x is scriptable and I have been working on what you are trying to do on my own to see if I can come up with a solution for what you're trying to do. If...

    Rethinking my bridge/server setup

    Because Legacy Mac OS limits the size of Macintosh volume access, I decided to have multiple 2 GB archive partitions organized to hold the installers of all my archived programs and such. So a Mac running System 6 or 7 can access sever shares organized by topic. I really don't want to reorganize...

    Keys used by startup, extensions and control panels?

    If you hold down the $ key on a Mac SE dual floppy system then at boot money will come out of one of the floppy drive slots. Which slot and how much money will be determined by how hard you hold down the $ key.

    Rethinking my bridge/server setup

    Another assumption I had was based off of the idea that if the hard disk you are using to install macOS 9 onto was ever used in a Mac and had been formatted and setup with GUID partition map and had an invisible partition such as a restore partition, you would have to zero the drive using the...

    Rethinking my bridge/server setup

    I'm sure it is a better and more arguably a more reliable bridge but it doesn't answer the bus error question. Could I mount existing Mac dmg files with a setup like that and share them to 68k Mac OS clients? Not a smart ass question I really know very little about netatalk so I'll need to do...

    Rethinking my bridge/server setup

    Regarding the disabling on extensions and control panels and using a base Mac OS set in Extensions Manager, the Mac would hardly be useful if I cannot have the entire Mac OS running plus third party extensions. It's just disturbing to me that an OS that was pre-installed and released for a...

    Rethinking my bridge/server setup

    These are fresh installs of the Mac OS without any third party extension installed. However I do understand that even that means there are third party components involved in a fresh install. I tried what you suggested in the iMac dv with base Mac OS 9.0.4 using extensions Manager, yielding the...

    Rethinking my bridge/server setup

    I see, thanks for the information. I’m going to forego the Mac OS 9 installations for now since it’s just too much hassle for my needs. I’m relieved that the PowerMac 8600 isn’t having hardware issues since I just spent more than I should have for a refurbished power supply for it. I’m really...

    Rethinking my bridge/server setup

    So I can assume from this that it isn't a hardware problem at all so I should ignore it and keep suing the versions that do work?

    Rethinking my bridge/server setup

    So we're having a deep freeze here so I decided to return to my winter hobby. It's the reason I hang on to all this stuff.... I recently setup my G4 Mac Mini 1.25 with Mac OS 9 for the purpose of using it for a bridge Mac. I had been using an iMac G3 400 DV previously as a file server. I'm not...

    LCIII Video Adapters

    I have two of these that work well for Mac IIsi, Performa 400, SE/30 with PDS video card, and Power Mac 8600.
