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...

Of course, and as I mentioned this model can.

i just read somewhere that i can’t burn bootable cds without using something like Burn.app. maybe that’s my issue?

It’s an eMac, 1GHZ, with combo drive, 40Gb HDD, 640MB RAM. .It is already running OSX 10..4.6. But, I want to install OS9 and boot that natively—not just run Classic mode. I understand this is the last model eMac that can do it. The only problem is that I cannot get the machine to boot from...

Definitely interested.

Here’s my first use of the Color Fabb: Replacement feet for Apple Keyboard II. First pic shows printed vs. original. I am very pleased with results! The keyboard itself was restored and plastic case and keys brought back to original color using H202 cream and several days of sunshine.

Just got notified that these are available again. Ordered my copy...

Curious if anyone else is seeing their ATV gen 1 locking up with Leopard like this: I am running the leopard image, I have the memory indicator enabled in the menu bar. It’s not out of memory, but something is causing lockups. Initially, I had the screen saver kicking in, dimming the display...

This is very cool. Messing around on an iPad Pro with the magic keyboard, but the trackpad has some odd behavior. The keyboard works, but clicking the touchpad does nothing, and the arrow cursor does not respond unless I do a two-finger reverse-pinch which is being interpretted like a click-drag...

I can confirm restoring the 10.5.8 image to the internal HDD. I was finally able to try image #1, 10.5.8 using an external USB HDD. After booting successfully with the USB, I connected to my LAN, transferred the image DMG file over to the desktop of the USB-booted ATV and launched Disk Utility...

Nice! Here’s a photo I took underneath my ASC when I was troubleshooting similar issues. It might help you if you want to pickup the broken trace with your bodge somewhere closer, or maybe the via was the problem. In any case, maybe the photo helps. I had a lot of gunk under my ASC so I am...
