    PowerBook 520c Display Issues

    Exactly that. I have ruled out the 520c motherboard, interconnect, cables, inverter board, etc. basically everything except the LCD assembly. I'll open that up and check everything, maybe I'll get lucky...

    minivmac v0.37 Sytem Error when booting some emulated machines

    The Mini vMac speed has to be set to 1x in order to properly boot anything with networking. After the emulated machine is fully booted and the desktop loaded, you can increase speed again. So basically you need to compile the binaries again with speed set to 1x (build option -speed z).

    PowerBook 520c Display Issues

    Everything has been ruled out except what's in the LCD unit itself — I've swapped other displays into the same machine and they work fine. Are you referring to the LCD board that's inside the LCD's metal frame?

    PowerBook 520c Display Issues

    This 520c display was working fine in January. Yesterday I booted it up to discover this strangeness on the bottom right of the screen. It's different almost every time I boot. I have swapped different displays and cables and those are ruled out, this is definitely an issue with this...

    Testing a 6200 and comparison with 6100

    Exactly this. I couldn't afford a IIci when I was in college and starting my own studio, all I could afford was a IIsi. I did what I could with what I had — it wasn't my dream setup but it was still good enough.

    Getting a PowerBook 1400 Networked

    Thank you for the kind offer. If I can acquire an Ethernet dongle for it, I'll take you up on that.

    Getting a PowerBook 1400 Networked

    Something else I was wondering: from what I've read, all of the compatible PCMCIA cards are 10BaseT and not 100. Is this correct? Other than having to connect to something using the defunct WEP security, are there any other issues with using one of the WiFi PCMCIA cards? How is the speed...

    Getting a PowerBook 1400 Networked

    I've just purchased a 1400cs/133 and it's lovely (other than the typical issues with a PC card door not closing and hinge cracked plastic). I've read through everything I can over the last several hours but I haven't been able to figure out a good answer to this question: What's the best way...

    Thank you for the work on this emulator. I’m very impressed with the progress and compatibility.

    Emulation: Infinite Mac

    Thanks for help. Today I used DingusPPC on Ubuntu and succeeded in getting all of the Power Mac 6100 compatible versions of Mac OS installed on separate drive images and they are all working well (from the limited testing I've done). Is there a better place to discuss DingusPPC? I don't want...

    Emulation: Infinite Mac

    Thank you, that worked perfectly. I didn't understand what "FILE:TEXT" meant in the DingusPPC docs and tried all sorts of combinations... except the right one.

    Emulation: Infinite Mac

    I'm loving DingusPPC and have tested it on macOS ARM an Linux x86-64. Is it possible to load more than one HDD image in the 6100/7100/8100 machines?

    Congrats on getting one, especially in decent shape and at a good price. Those are very nice machines.

    OEM iBook G3 "Custom Software Restore" discs

    It does seem a bit odd. I bought a 2001 iBook G3 new and it came with the grey discs. My 2003 iMac came with grey discs. My 2005 Minis came with grey discs. I'm curious what you find out.

    Macintosh 68060 Redux

    I agree that radically changing the classic hardware negates the point of using classic hardware, but I do not think accelerators (including PiStorm) cross that line. My reasoning is that people were creating and using contemporary accelerators with classic Macs and would have happily gone for...

    iMac G4 upgrades - freezing during Tiger installation

    ^ No, I haven't had any issues with Classic or anything else. That said, I've currently only got the single partition with Tiger installed. Classic works but I've always preferred to use boot into 9 (currently that's a G4 Mini, TiBook, and G3 iBook) for reliability. For many years I setup...
