This question might be very specific, but perhaps somebody has tried this before? I own a PM G3/233 DT that I overclocked very sucessfully to 83 MHz systembus speed and 292MHz CPU speed. This machine is a lot faster when overclocked, and totally stable (I would have been the absolute hero in...

I´like to install "Authoring Support 1.1.9" to my unsupported Powermac 8600. How do I do this? I´ve upgraded the machine (G4 800, 1GB Ram) to Mac OS 9.2.2 (Authoring Support 1.1.3) and would now like to use my CD/DVD Speedtool especially iTuner, which needs at least Authoring Support 1.1.5, as...

I am playing with my 8600 recently and like to make it a productive machine again. As I got it very late (some day 2005 or something, and didn´t use it very often as I had my Umax S900 back than) I don´t know the motherboard very well. Now I tried to understand everything. So what is the DAV...

I am planning to get an SSD for my Pismo/500. I belive it is the upgrade that makes most sense, and would be doable for about 50 Euros for a 60GB model plus SATAII<->IDE converter recently. Are there any experiances with Mac OS 9 and SSDs? I read much about Wintool this and Linuxtool...

I am new to Apple Script, but the following script should be possible. The recorder doesn´t help me: open the date control panel, change the year to 1996 close the control panel Open a application in the same folder as the script (with fixed name) open the date control panel again and...

OK, I am still fighting with my G4 equipped with an Gigadesigns 1,4 GHz G4. I cannot find problems reproduceable at any OS, just 9 has problems (Linux not). So I belive in the meantime that Giga Designs upgades do not work with native Mac OS 9. If you can, please proove me wrong. Has anyone a...

This week I discovered that FWB HDTK for Mac OS 9 offers the possibility to secure the entire HD. Has anyone of you further informations how it encrypts it? Would be interresting if it is a simple password or a real encryption (whith what kind of algorythm?). I was not able to find further...

I am looking for applications that can handle UTF-8 at my MacOS 9 machine. There are tons of text editors which are able to produce UTF-16 but I only found two applications for UTF-8. 1) SUA a nice freeware tool, but complicated (no drag & drop etc.) 2) BBEdit 6 (maybe 7 as well, but even...

Today a friend of mine tried to work at one of my G4s, a 733MHz at MacOS 9.2.2. While he was heavyly klicking around, opening Classilla and Acrobat 5 at the same time as XPress, he got a reboot alert box. You know one of these System 7 style ones, where the reeboot button is not drawn at the...

Thought I got some ideas about macs, as I own more than 10 of them, and using strictly MacOS 9 since 1999, i wanted to help a friend of mine to setup her iBook G3 500 in cool ways. After replacing the display (and found out that replacing the inverter was not necessary as the backlight was...

I´m using My 9600 with 9.2.2 right now. In one folder (which files are not in use) I wanted to set some lables. One file is changing its label always back to "none"! Somtimes after 5 seconds sometims after 25 seconds, ... Ever heard of such a strange behavior, anyone? And any solution maybe?

One of my OS 9 machines is a G4 (AGP) with an Giga Designs G4 1,4 GHz upgrade. It worked quite well for about 2 years now, until 10 days ago when it began to hang permanently. The machine got an ATI 8500, a Stealth port, a SCSI card, 512 RAM and 2 IDE HDs. The used system was an 9.1 installed...

Today I got a G4 466MHz and wanted to do a clean reinstall of OS 9.1. I took my original retail Os 9.1 CD (not an bundled to a machine one) an tried to boot. CD-Rom starts to seek for a system, even the blinking system folder icon seems to wait some seconds like any system is found, but then it...

I´d like you to help with your great experiance to virtually assemble the fastest OS 9 machine ever. Interresting is to clear some questions regarding the most powerful possibilities. I´ll update this post after your suggestions. Prozessor: MAXPower G4 with a 2GHz 7448 prozessor seems to be...

I got an LC475 with a 3rd socket beside the two VRam slots. It´s a little bit smaller than the two VRams, and I have no idea what this could be. At this pictures (nr. 4 + 5) you see there is no socket soldered at this 475, ... http://geektechnique.org/projects/68040.html Any idea, anyone...

Browsing around, I stumbled across: Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5b1 (5501) for MacOS 9! Even if it was a beta-version I was really wondering about this. While my 5.0 version is from 22. March 2000, the latest update to version 5.1.7 is from juli 2003. But this beta I got is from first of Juli...

My PM9600 needs a DVD & DVD-RAM burner. So I´m asking you today about working setups you use. The possibilities are: 1) SATA? There is still no SATA PCI-card working in any PCI Mac (except G3 up) because of the PCI 2.0 (5V) specifications - is there? So this is no solution. 2) IDE Many...
