I am trying to get Belkin CardBus Firewire adapter (F5u512-MAC) working in my Wallstreet. Problem is I only have a FW400 hard drive that needs bus power. From the manual. Use the included 4-pin to 6-pin cable, or a 6-pin to 6-pin cable, to connect your favorite FireWire devices to your...

What was the last Mac OS X version that supported running Mac OS 9 in Classic mode? I don’t mean dual booting into either, just the ability to run it. I am working on restoring a heap of my old backups from the late 90’s early 00’s up to around 2005.

What is the latest system software anyone has got to run successfully and stably with AIR and GlobalTalk? I can’t seem to get anything stable with both LocalTalk and EtherTalk active running AIR above System 7.1 on an LCIII.

I used to run a school network with a Farallon StarController. Looks like you have basically built the same thing. The only advantage was to keep a number of LocalTalk chains separate from each other so the noise/traffic was contained within the chains. An example would be multiple classrooms...

I am looking for drivers both classic Mac OS and hopefully Mac OS X for this PCI FireWire 400 card. The card came out of a beige PowerMac G3 with a dead hard drive so I couldn’t salvage the drivers. The card has no branding or identifying markings that would allow me to even look for a driver...

Oops

I have never seem this sort of VRAM in a Mac before. I am use to the LC type VRAM with the 2 lots of pins. Not these with 3 lots. What Macs do these go in?

Got it out. I wasn't expecting a little bit of plastic on another part (the carrier) to be the latch.

I am having trouble removing the PSU from my Quadra 700. The Service Source Take Apart mentions a "latch" but does not show where it is our how to unlock it. I can get the rear to move a few mm but the front seems stuck and I can see any latches or anything obviously holding it in. I don't want...

yes, I am in Australia and everything retro computing is pretty inconvenient from here. We are use to it ;-) I did place an order with OWC, I didn't realise they still sold this stuff and I have used them for a lot of stuff in the past.

Does anyone know of a source for 16MB 30-pin SIMMs? I need 4 for my Quadra 700.

Nothing inserted into the slots even shows up as a generic device. As an example my CF Card and FArrallon ethernet card show up on the desktop under 8.6 even if there drivers aren't installed. They don't show up at all under 7.6.1 even with the drivers for the card installed. It seem like the...

I have a PB2400c running 8.6 and I am experimenting with downgrading it to 7.6.1. The OS will install find but the PCMCIA slots now don't work. I am assuming that as the 2400c originally shipped with 7.6.1 these slots should work. Any ideas?

That work and it is very useful.

Great, thank you. That did work however I tried asap-status localhost and got a command not found error.

I wasn't sure where to post this but it is Netatalk 2.3 related. I want to turn off guest access. I figured it would be easy and I can read man pages. I was wrong, I have been going down blind alleys and scratching my head for days. Can someone explain to me how I turn off guest access to my...

I did use it back in the day and was hoping to find out what versions worked with what Mac OSs and if anyone has tried it via GlobalTalk. I couldn’t find anything so did the testing myself. I found that I could run Timbuktu Pro v3 quite stably on System 7.1 through to Mac OS 8.6. And it does run...

I am going to attempt to get Timbuktu working between my office and man cave. They are currently both on the GlobalTalk network. Has anyone had any experience with this?

awesome. Thank you. I will give them a try.

I should've been a little more specific. I also wanted to work with Mac OS 9. I am pretty sure the WPA2 stuff doesn't work on Mac OS 9, hence the setting up of the original graphite BaseStation. I managed to find an original airport card in an iBook G3 clamshell I had and it works beautifully on...
