Tried the Mighty Mouse Wireless. Works in OSX. Does not work in OF and does not work in OS9. So, I figured it was time to see if flashing the firmware helps. Downloaded the Apple BT Firmware Updater 1.2. Loaded this in Tiger. Ran it. Said I was already up to date. No updates. So, I...

According to that French page, my D-Link, which is HW revision B3, is already running the appropriate firmware to be detected in HID Proxy mode as a mouse and a keyboard. So, I paired a keyboard and it worked fine in OSX. Rebooted and was unable to use the ALT key to select startup disk. That...

Has anyone messed around with the D-Link DBT-120 USB Bluetooth dongle on a G4 using OS9? I was going to try to pair a wireless mouse on my eMac which is a dual-boot (triple boot) OS9 and OSX. I have the D-Link dongle which seems to work fine in OSX (Sorbet Leopard in my case) as without it, my...

My question above still stands for anyone trying this with a Sonoma Mac, but I was able to re-do all steps using my eMac running Sorbet without any issues. Booting now. Also, I should mention that I am having another go at this using the V2 Leopard image. Previously, I had shared that my ATV...

I've done a restore to a HDD using a firewire enclosure. All seems to be going along fine until I am trying to fix the partition info: sudo gpt -r show /dev/disk4 This command is giving me an "Operation not permitted" error in macOS Sonoma. I have done the steps in Security/Privacy settings...

For anyone paying attention here, or who comes looking for a solution, I will share the next step in my eMac journey: My problem was the catch 22: I wanted to setup a large drive (500GB) as a dual-boot OS9/OSX, which requires the drive be initialed with OS9 drivers. The drivers can be...

Thanks. I am no longer troubleshooting for two reasons: I was able to boot the MACOS9LIVES 9.2.2 for Unsupported G4 I concluded that may be my ONLY recourse now since my 1GHz "Combo" drive eMac is actually not the original 1GHz "Combo" drive. That second point is subtle, but it seems mine is...

Yes, but in spite of this, I am probably going to replace the 40 with something a lot bigger and try to setup a dual-boot situation, even if I need to use the updated image to do it. I can dedicate a partition to running OS9 native and another for OSX + Classic and have the flexibility. I doubt...

This has been some fun investigation, but I think I found the answer. According to https://everymac.com/systems/apple/emac/specs/emac_1.0.html only the “original” combo drive 1GHz model can boot OS9. Apple made a superdrive version (no os9) and finally, they released a cheaper combo drive model...

i made mixed progress tonight. I tried burning another 691-4323-A CD from my modern M1 Mac Mini. This time, the burned cd would not mount in Sonoma, something I took as maybe a good sign. This CD will not boot the eMac! I decided to try the “OS9LIVES OS9.2.2 UNSUPPORTED G4” disk image. This too...

I might not have the best answer here since mine was a (broken) hand-me-down from my dad (free + repair parts). The repair parts may or may not be a consideration for you. I have seen broken SE/30s sell for hundreds of dollars if they are not completely battery bombed. They are unique and rare...

Was looking up examples where folks call this "terminal" and I think another reason is that the fix is sometimes replacing RP2 Bourne filter? I don't recall having to do that myself, but those parts were/are apparently hard to find in low quantities, so it was often easier (cheaper) to pull them...

Thanks! This helps.

I think it varies by system and root cause. In my case, my SE/30 was exhibiting this issue and it eventually led me to replace a video mux chip if I recall, not to mention a complete recap and all of the cleanup that goes along with that. In the process of eliminating the problems, I had to...

I have been reading as many related posts that I can find on other forums too and it seems this may be a big can-o-worms. There are similar stories where someone has the same issues--unbootable CDs that still read just fine, burned with Burn, burned with finder. . . and most of these conlude...
