    Specific Mac OS Prebuilds

    I'm glad you got it working. I don't recall anything else required to get your Mac SE/30 online from that folder, it sounds like you're in good shape. (y)

    Specific Mac OS Prebuilds

    I'm glad to hear you got it working and thanks for the kind words. (y) I believe I didn't install the MODE32 application, but left the installer for it on the disk in case it was needed, but if it was installed already I'm sorry for any additional confusion. I performed the following steps...

    Specific Mac OS Prebuilds

    Gerry, I've made a fresh install HD image of Mac OS 7.5.3, it also has the DaynaPORT (SCSI driver only), StuffIt 5.5, Netscape 2.0, Joshua's Wi-Fi accessory, the MODE32 installer (must be installed if you want to use), the BlueSCSI Toolbox apps, and other utilities from the BlueSCSI Bootstrap...

    Specific Mac OS Prebuilds

    Gerry, Eric is simply pointing out that the Classic Mac OS has many quirks, and these functions are something you'll get the hang of the more you spend time with them. He is not talking down to you and has always been very giving with his free time to support others. As you've discovered, the...

    Is there a way to extract contents from VISE / StuffIt InstallMaker installers?

    Thanks for all your tinkering folks! (y) I appreciate you sharing version 3.5 of the utility. I've only been able to install/extract version 4.0 and a later version 4.4 version found on a different printer model. Sadly, all the versions I've tried so far, 4.0 and 4.4 (on my iBook, Mac mini...

    Is there a way to extract contents from VISE / StuffIt InstallMaker installers?

    Hi everyone, I'm trying to install this HP LaserJet driver and utility package for Mac OS 7 and a later one from Mac OS 8 I found on a CD (attached below). This is in an attempt to rename the printer name on the JetDirect 600N AppleTalk card in it. (And sadly no, you can't do that from the web...

    Can You Run System 7.5.3 On A G4 MDD?

    No way. Mac OS 9.2.2 and Mac OS X 10.2 are the earliest supported operating systems. Most Power Mac G3 desktop systems can’t boot earlier than 8.0 or 8.1. The earliest G4 models could do 8.5.1 or 8.6. Make a disk image of the hard drive and you can access and maybe boot from it in a Mac...

    GlobalTalk - Global AppleTalk network for MARCHintosh 2024 (and beyond!)

    Yeah that's a new one for me too. I just did a standard install of 10 not long ago, so I'm unsure where that option may be. But certainly something good to note in this guide so newbies like myself don't get tripped up!

    GlobalTalk - Global AppleTalk network for MARCHintosh 2024 (and beyond!)

    OK, I found and resolved my issues. (y) 1. My .bat file was not in the C:\qemu folder - I was unclear where it needed to be. I realize this is shown in the screenshot, but not it is not specifically called out in the instructions. So this can easily be overlooked by a Windows noob such as...

    GlobalTalk - Global AppleTalk network for MARCHintosh 2024 (and beyond!)

    Thanks again :) I've rebooted a few times, I've also tried editing Program Files to lowercase in the variables (like shown in the image in the guide), but that doesn't seem to have solved it. I guess I find it odd that the 'qemu-system-m68k.exe' would give that error about needing a kernel...

    GlobalTalk - Global AppleTalk network for MARCHintosh 2024 (and beyond!)

    Thanks Chris, I tried rebooting and it had no effect for the ethernet bridge, even trying a bunch of IPconfig commands didn't seem to solve it. My System Environment Variables appear to be identical to what is provided. I'll reboot again for good measure.

    GlobalTalk - Global AppleTalk network for MARCHintosh 2024 (and beyond!)

    I appreciate the guide @Mu0n, I ran into some issues that maybe you can help with. 1. I couldn't get the ethernet bridge to grab a good IP address with my built-in ethernet adapter. So instead, I installed a second network card via a USB to ethernet adapter. Not only did this seem to go more...
