Just installed The Best of Microsoft Entertainment Pack so I could play FreeCell and Tetris on the 486, amongst other classics. For some reason, I had a difficult time running Hoyle Classic Card Games on the IIfx. I have the original Mac disks (this is the 1993 version) and the program would...

This place went to shit after JDW and Cameron Kaiser left. I also miss Uniserver (Charles), despite being a crazy bastard.

Yeah but you need to know when to call it a day. Can't save them all.

Seriously LOLing at this thread :ROFLMAO: Honestly, is it worth preserving a G3 iMac? I had two of those fuckers over the years: a slot-loading Graphite and the original Bondi Blue. The Graphite had very high hours on it (it was owned by some IT firm and there was significant burn-in on the...

Is your PS an Astec? That would explain your woes.

Switched off virtual memory in Win 3.1 - not much free space was added (File Manager now states 14.8MB of space is available as opposed to 11.8MB). I have 6.1MB of usable RAM (Win 3.1 uses around 4MB). So something is hogging a lot of disk space - still need to look into that.

Not intentional of course. I wasn't sure what the 19,438KB value was referring to (although I figured RAM was involved somehow) but you've clarified that so thanks. I'll look into disabling virtual memory and see if it frees up some disk space in my partition. Interesting tidbit - my Win 3.1...

What I'm attempting to figure out is why File Manager in Win 3.1 states I only have 11.8MB of memory left in my 50MB OrangePC partition. I only have 4 programs installed - DOS 6.1, Win 3.1, WP Presentations 2.0, and Sound Blaster 16 software for the SB-2770. I doubt those 4 programs are...

Fixed the sound issue by setting the master volume to max and increasing the gain using Sound Blaster's Creative Mixer software: This is what the SB-2770 looks like inside the IIfx connected to the OrangePC card: One thing I've noticed is the amount of hard disk space that has been utilized...

Bought a sealed (NOS in the box) Sound Blaster SB-2770 card. Worked out to just under $300 CAD with shipping and eBay's "tax." Came with all the original documentation and software on 3.5" floppies. It's designed to run on DOS 5.0 and above and Windows 3.1 (I have DOS 6.1 and Win 3.1). The card...

Did it come with the unobtainium breakout cable?

Haven't done much with the OrangePC card in awhile. I'm currently on the lookout for a Sound Blaster card that's more in line with the 486 processor on the card (the AWE64 card I have works, but I agree with Byrd's previous assessment that the drivers are just too complex for DOS 6.1/Win 3.1)...

Uninstalled PP 4.0 using Microsoft's Office Manager. Kept the ClipArt images (they work in 3.0) and some templates. IIfx doesn't seem to be crashing anymore.

Yeah. It’s just odd that PowerPoint seems to be the only problem child. The rest of the office suite is fine.

It’s compatible with any OS from System 7 to 8.6 with a 68020 or faster processor. It will not run in OS 9.

I did the ResEdit hacks to get the IIfx to run OS 8.1

Office 4.2.1 was the last version of MS Office to be supported on a 68k Mac. Can't go any higher than that on the IIfx (next Office edition was 98, which required a PPC processor). I think I have the highest revision for 4.2.1 (my installer came with the "b" revision). I had someone else's...

I was able to find a sealed complete copy of Microsoft Office 4.2.1 on eBay awhile back. Not the most popular version of MS Office for the Mac by any means, but I wanted to have a clean install of this version to replace a previous owner's butchered version on my IIfx. The main problem I've...
