MegaFiler was a database app I used on a Mac Plus back around 1992 - 1994. I have a few documents I recovered off some floppy disks but I have no way to open them. I have been able to find a copy of MegaFiler online but it crashes when you try to run it on MacOS. The oldest OS I have access to...

Ok now it's back, as an embedded broken link that is clickable to a real link. I did try the 1152x870 setting on my adapter, it gave me a picture that was bigger than my screen with the edges cropped off. I guess 1024x768 it is. 

I see no link in your post now either.

Attachment no workey :(

I recently upgraded my "extra" monitor from a 15" to a 19". The 15" had a resolution of 1024x768 which used mode 1,2,6,7 on my adapter, and all was well. The new display works at that resolution but of course is blocky and horrible. It's native resolution is 1280x1024, but I have not seen that...

How rude of me, to not include a photo in my last post!!

Ok so first I tried connecting the external drive to my USB adapter. Played around with that, got nowhere. Then I tried connecting the external SCSI drive, via SCSI, to my old powermac. Played with that for a while, got nowhere.  Then I gutted the external drive, took the drive out, and hooked...

I figured I needed one. But that begs the question, how did it work for the customer without one?  There are no termination "switches" on the back of this drive, but there is an ID switch that lets me pick from 1 to 6. 

It's been a while since I've worked much with SCSI. I've got an external hard drive here with a bunch of files I need to copy off of it.  I'm trying the easiest way first, using my old SCSI USB adapter and trying to copy them right off, to a modern Mac. But alas, no joy. This is how this USB...

Is there a source for new batteries for these old machine? If not, is there potentially a place where you can get custom batteries made? I know my friends have gotten custom batteries made in the past for various things. And it wasn't prohibitively expensive. But that said, this half memory...

That page is really a lot more popular than I ever thought it would be. Now that it's on its own subdomain, it should be a piece of cake to run it forever... or at least until the very last beige Mac on earth dies. 

Greetings all! To all the users of my Vintage Software Library, please note the URL has changed to: http://obsolete.macfixer.com/vintage-software/ This will let me implement SSL on my main site without killing the vintage software library for old browsers. If it's possssssible for you to edit...

Uh yeah, I am.  www.whatsmyip.org is me too

I actually remember that control panel. But isn't the ability to sync time over the internet built in to OS 8? 

:pb: Don't forget, http://www.whatsmyip.org also works for super old browsers, as long as they have virtual host support. So Netscape 2+ I believe. It does redirect old browsers to a different subdomain, but that redirect happens at the header level, meaning it's seamless even for old...

You always want to run the latest of the generation you're on. In other words, you should definitely go to 10.6.8 now if you are on 10.6.0. It's not going to use any more RAM but it sill have lots of bug fixes and potential performance improvements. 

Ok why don't you PM me

Are you talking about the computer or the RAM? I'm definitely not listing the computer (although someone on the forum may be coming to get it today). 

I'm getting mixed messages. If I list it on ebay, you're not going to get it (most likely)

Well, before its off to the recycler, anyone want to purchase this ram (will ship) or grab the broken IIsi for free (will not ship)? Otherwise it's off to ebay with this memory.
