Might be worth trying After Dark 4.0... It might require that version to work properly.

Got the Mac Pro home and set up. Looks like it needs an Airport Extreme wi-fi card installed on the logic board, since there's no ability to connect to my wi-fi network, unless I use the TP-Link dongle that I've used with my G4. Also got an mid-2010 A1278 MBP with the Mac Pro, which I may...

Ok, good. It's probably the same.

Maybe something happened to the power supply after the initial testing. I don't think there's enough of a difference between the 520 and the 575 to make it impossible to use a 520 board in a 550 or a 575. With respect to the drive, pull it, then connect it externally to either your CC, or...

I wonder if it'd be a good idea to upload the final version of the info.apple.com FTP server to the 'garden, provided that doesn't get us in trouble with Apple themselves. I saved it locally to my MacBook Pro, so I can access everything via File Sharing on one of my other Macs - usually my G4...

Sounds like you guys have been busy... @PentaxEnthusiast Sounds like it might be time to find an SD or CF adapter that can plug into the IDE cable inside the machine. That would at least let you use an "SSD" solution on it. Spent some time transferring documents and music to my old A1186's...

Same. Mine is with 8MB. Had 20MB in my old IIfx that I owned between 2013 and 2016(?)...

Haven't seen a thread, like the ones over at the other forum, so figured I might as well get it rolling. About 30 minutes ago, decided to see if I could get my MacBook back up to 12GB RAM. A few days ago, I made the mistake of letting my phone drop onto the palmrest between the keyboard and...

Upgrade the SSD to something larger, then you can dual-boot both OS X and Mint or whichever distro of Linux you decide on. Am doing something similar to a client's 2013 MBA, albeit, keeping it OS X. The stock 128GB SSD is full, plus he would like to be able to get rid of his original 2009...

As long as everyone continues to be active, I'm in favor of it. We all want to avoid what was happening over at the other forum, of course.

The keyboard seems to be an improvement over the original. Sounds more like an Apple M3501 keyboard. With respect to the tan color of the function keys, those are more like what you'd find on a ViC-20. From what I remember, early C64 machines did come with them, whereas the later breadbox...

It also seems that wthww has rekindled his interest in tinkering around with his machines, which is cool. Previously, he only seemed to drop in when some crash occured.

See here: https://websites.umich.edu/~archive/mac/misc/documentation/finder7.1hacks.txt There is also a way to do the same under at least System 7.5 and 7.5.1, but I've forgotten where the "6500" code is that needs to be changed to "6000". As far as I know, no one has been able to hack 7.5.2...

Kind of a necropost, but the old SoundMaster control panel works for this. Another utility not mentioned is the SoundBuilder 2.0.1 application. Plays any SND resources (aka sfil Sound files). Can even play them backward, if desired.

Yeah, for gaming, most of the time, you're going to want it at normal 1 MHz speed. A lot of games become somewhat unplayable on the fast 2.8 MHz setting. A couple aren't bad, like Rampage, etc. But something like Night Mission Pinball or the old DOS 3.3 Brick Out game will be nearly...

Ah, well, at least we know that it's not the processor, so there's that. If this machine is in better cosmetic condition, I'd be tempted to transfer your other IIgs' guts over to it, and swap all the goodies onto that board. Set aside the "new" board for a cabin fever project later this winter.

Didn't help that the battery leaked... Wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the issues were due to that. In any case, it probably would need a new board before I'd consider using it. Pulled the ethernet and SCSI cards, and am going to try a last resort job on resurrecting the drives. Have a...

I'm guessing it won't go into the self-test mode, by holding down the option and command keys while turning it on? If you can get it to do that, we might be able to see what's going on. I'm assuming that you don't get the usual *Dernk* startup chime when the power switch is flipped on?

Yep. Most of what I've talked about is here, in addition to the 'mla. All my photos are stored on my computer and on my flickr account, so they can be accessed if Cory changes his mind and decides to just pull the plug.

Every disk we had worked fine with the 1571. That said, never got into doing demoscene stuff. Nor did I make copies of copy protected software. A couple friends of ours who also had C64s did and would give us copies of their software to use, though. In my case, I pretty much stopped using...
