This part: https://www.powerbookmedic.com/PMU--Power-Management-Unit-Board-Wallstreet-p-16192.html Its mounted under the top lid and controls all power management functions. See step 33: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/PowerBook+G3+Wallstreet+PMU+Replacement/12 The DC-In/Sound board can have...

This was a known WallStreet problem even back 20 years ago. A friend had a unit that did the same thing (endless PMU resets needed to get the thing to power on). If I recall, replacing the DC power board solved the problem at the time. I might have replaced the PRAM battery as well (I think this...

The error is trying to load the main SYSTEM hive of the registry. Are the other parts of the kernel loading?

The MaciNTosh project does it the way it likely would have shipped, using a separate media to load VENEER and kickstart NT and then provide the HAL and required drivers (which that project does via a RAM disk available to the installer). That project uses a CD for this mostly because the initial...

OS/2 PPC Edition would need its own boot loader and likely the equivalent of a HAL. Its supported list of PPC machines was quite short and specific. Is this Shiner HAL using its own native NT miniport driver for SCSI and a native NT driver for the Cirrus video? A video driver for the Cirrus chip...

I'm sure @Rairii has some input on that sort of thing.

I'm having the same problem here. Looks like they managed to somehow block a good chunk of Comcast's IP blocks. Is @Froggy814 using Comcast as well?

Thank you for confirming what I've suspected for years. One thing that always drove me crazy is that people keep claiming these early drives weren't compatible with CD-Rs. I never had a problem using CD-Rs in my CD-SC+ back when it worked 25 years ago. The ability to read CD-Rs is the first sign...

Out of desperation, I managed to hook up an Amiga to mine.... at least until I got the right adapter to use my other monitors with the Video Toaster active. Weird things happen in genlock mode to the sync signals.... its a long story. Back in the day, an outfit called Redmond Cables would custom...

I guess they didn't have any in stock locally. ☹️

So it turns out that GlobalTalk existed back in 1994, courtesy of Apple as a demo of AURP: Source, page 167: https://vintageapple.org/macworld/pdf/MacWorld_9404_April_1994.pdf

Here is the patch that "broke the camel's back": https://patchew.org/linux/[email protected]/

https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-Drops-AppleTalk Thanks AI.... Can't say I'm surprised given the slop of AI bug reports flooding everything. Overall it seems to be driving maintainers of open source software to the point of quitting at an alarming rate. Hopefully it won't be too hard to...

The classic MacOS networking stack wasn't exactly built for maximum I/O speed. Nubus wasn't particularly fast either.

@Tashtari might be interested.
