Maybe its your monitor? I had the same issue with a 19" LaCie Electron Blue III CRT using my 8.24GC card and High-Res card. There was a fault somewhere in the monitor.

According to the Macintosh Repository, After Dark 4.0 requires a 68040 or PowerPC to run. Not sure about Version 3.0

Yeah I think the TNG one is from '94. I don't have that one, but I doubt it should make much of a difference. I also have the Disney release from '93. Were there any other screensaver programs for 8.1?

Tried installing my original boxed copy of Star Trek - TOS After Dark on my IIfx running OS 8.1. The installation itself went fine. However, the control panel for After Dark doesn't seem to do anything (can't switch it on or off/can't program the screensaver to activate at a desired time/can't...

This has probably been asked a million times and I'm guessing the answer is no, but I'm curious to know if there was any attempt by Apple or a third-party developer to offer some form of PowerPC expandability for the 68030 IIfx? Has anyone been successful in getting PowerPC software to run on...

SoftWindows sucks anyway. I ran Version 1.0.2 on my IIfx - the 486 OrangePC card is far better in terms of performance and has a far less memory footprint than Insignia’s software.

Maybe the belt snapped? Bad caps?

I still have all the parts for my Duo 230 - it's just that the plastics for the screen (along with the screen itself) are FUBAR. Yes, I have a couple of the HDI-to-SCSI adapters for the PB series. I can change the internal SCSI HD's ID in my IIfx with Silverlining 5.7 or I can connect the Duo...

So nobody knows how to transfer data from a PB HD without a PowerBook? C'Mon Man!

I have two working 2.5" SCSI drives from my 160 and Duo 230. The objective is to transfer whatever content is on these drives to my IIfx. The 160 was sold sometime ago (screen was shot and so were the plastics) and my Duo 230 is in pieces. I've seen some homebrew SCSI 2.5" to 3.5" adapters...

OEM HP toners that are over 20 years old seem to be prone to smearing right out of the box. I've been experiencing that with the 95A cartridges used in the IINT. My IINT is all original and is not plagued by electrical issues. Can't speak for the earlier Personal LWs (I've only owned the later...

I don't know either. You'd think with all the real estate that's on the card Orange Micro would have etched in the model number somewhere. So I'm guessing this is a hard pass?

Found the peripheral kit for the 386 card here Seller is asking $89.99 (which I'm guessing is in US dollars). Seems tempting, although there appears to be no way of contacting the seller (besides joining their mailing list) and I'm unsure if this peripheral kit is compatible with my 486 card...

I remember reading a thread on the forums here years ago about a Mac (could also have been a Lisa) that had been painted black by the previous owner. The solution was DOT 3 brake fluid to remove the paint without damaging the plastics.

Not sure, don't have that app installed. I know that all three OSes show up in Startup Disk. Not really a problem, more of an inconvenience. The System 6 partition was set for 246MB, and the 8.1 partition for 973MB (or thereabouts). Silverlining and Drive Setup both automatically create a...

6.0.8 was set as the first partition and 8.1 was set as the second. Didn't matter if I used Silverlining or Drive Setup (not Drive Utility) to create the partition - 6.0.8 wouldn't boot into 8.1 and 8.1 would completely ignore the 6.0.8 partition. I can boot into 7.5.1 from 6.0.8 (7.5.1 is...

I removed the Silverlining partition I had on my internal Quantum 1.2GB drive and created a new partition using Drive Utility 1.4 (the partitions created were OS 8.1 and System 6.0.8 - no System 7 stuff here). For whatever reason, this original caps IIfx doesn’t like switching from 32-bit to...

More oddities for your reading pleasure: (1) So I booted into 6.0.8 from my 7.5.1 partition (everything is fine at this point). When booting back to 7.5.1 with the 20SC still on, I'm greeted by a System Bomb halfway through the boot process - this time it's complaining about the "Global Village...

I was thinking more along the lines of my partition becoming corrupt by an inferior download (i.e., System Bomb), but interesting thought nevertheless. Besides it's always nice to have the original physical Apple copy for software releases. Just my preference. Small stuff like TattleTech, etc...

I have a 7.5.3 restore disc for the Performa 5200 series. The IIfx won’t boot from it (says I need to run the disc from the Installer). The Installer says the opposite and alerts that I need to restart the computer and boot from the disc. 🤪 The only “official” install discs I have are 7.5.0 and...
