Re: More on my PB 190cs
I think acknowledging that we know only a small part of reality is a sign of strength. The more we understand how little we know, the closer we get to world peace, that's my conviction. But let me write a bit more on this MB: You know that all things computer are based on bits, and therefore, everything is counted in powers of 2. These days, even street kids with MP3 players think in numbers like 64, 128, 256, and 512. It's a mere coincidence that 2^10, or 1024, is so close to 1000. The closeness of these two numbers is the reason that people have started to call 1024 bytes a 'kilobyte', which literally means '1000 bytes'. And this is basically the discrepancy you have re-discovered. With 1k, the difference is tiny, but moving to MB and GB it'll be getting bigger; with Terabytes, it'll be 10%, so maybe then more people will start to notice.

Re: More on my PB 190cs
I think that I should pipe in here because I think if you are going to use the old hard ware on a daily basis then good for you. I still own a duo and use it for text docs on my home network and print to an old laser-writer. I also have an old classic hooked to a apple-one BW scanner and on to the laser-writer. When considering a computer you need to think what you are going to do with it and use it before you buy it. The 190 is a very nice old-world Mac and through the use of ide hdd and wifi cards also flash ram memory cards CAN be used on a daily basis, for email and docs also the myriad of 68k games that are out and about. So if you are happy with the 190 keep it working. I use a g4 ibook for daily mail and so on and if I want to do something that needs screen size and loads of memory I use my G4 sawtooth, but still like to get the duo out and use it because it is very easy on the eye with the mono screen, If I had a 190 I would use that in-place of the duo. And I am always looking for old books to do up and give to family and friends. vicki -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Initializing SCSI Disk in PB 145

Dave __ From eBay my first OS 9 disk was a Powerbook install disk that wants to see a G3 in the hardware configuration. Since my PCI Mac at that time was a 604 the installer of course balked. Some listers suggested TomeView to extract all of the OS files for manual installation. I was not at all confident of getting it right and it also sounded like a lot of work . So I eventually got an iMac 9.1 install disk. Surprisingly this will install to everything it has been tried on.. Why it doenn't demand a G3 I don't know. But am thankful. I love 9.1.

Re: Macintosh HD Format
I wish it was something as easy as that. I know that this will run. I had OS 9.1 on the machine, and before that I had 8.6 and even had 8.0 on it before that. I want to put 8.5 on it so I can take advantage of the extended HFS. Now it won't take any of them. I have even tried removing anything extra and tried different HD drivers including FWB. Program will not run to install it. I don't know if you noticed it or not but 8.5 has a goofed up manual install. It won't do it. You have to do it through the install program.

Re: Macintosh HD Format
Hope you want a challenge? This is it. It is actually a 68 pin drive with a converter to 50 pin. It is not new, but everything else works. I can install a program and run it on the drive. I did drag over 8.0 and boot off of it. I thought it might be the disk but I have cleaned it and I have tried running other install programs from other OS (8.0, 9.1). They will not run either. I have done the equivalent of the cuda switch. This computer does not have one. I even had a different drive that I was able to connect to the computer and I thought I could install it onto that one and then drag it over to the installed one. No go. Nova. Nada. Connections on everything are good and tight. The computer does not show other signs of a problem. The fact that I can run programs on it says that the computer is working. Any other thoughts?

Dave ___ Termination needs to be at the end of the chain. From the factory Termination is set at the CD drive at ID = 3 This becomes the dependable end of the chain. Now , the machine will still run with drives beyond this but signals can act funny. And the chain can be unstable. Set your drive ID to 0 or 1 or 2 with the jumper pins. Look on drive manufacturers website or a drive reference website for details. You started swapping stuff around and things got wonky. After being dependable for years. After changing ID and resetting everything use disk setup or SCSI probe to make sure ID is below that set for the CD drive. This is not a hard task at all. You could even just move the jumper clip to the other end of the block and try it. You are sure to get lucky sometime even without referring to a spec sheet.

Re: Macintosh HD Format
Thanks that helped, but sometimes when I boot from the OS 8 CD the Macintosh HD icon doesn't appear and as the famous saying goes... Driving me crazy! This problem is either way too obvious or way to mysterious. And I don't know which. It solution will be the last thing try on it ! -- Adrian -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Macintosh HD Format
How can I change my HD Format from standard to extended by saving all my data, or is this impossible. I have a Power Book 1400/133 with a 1 GIG HD and OS 8.1 installed. Thanks! -- Can you SCSI disk mode or ethernet to another Mac temporarily to backup the whole drive? To switch format to HFS+ the drive has to be initialized IIRC. Alsoft has a utility called PlusMaker which will make HFS volumes into HFS+ (using an external boot disk) without your having to reformat. I've used it successfully, but I recommend following their warning to back up your data anyway, just in case. Saul Broudy -- PowerBooks is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Macintosh HD Format
Alsoft makes a nifty little $30 utility called PlusMaker which can convert your drive without reformatting. I've used it on several drives. http://www.alsoft.com/PlusMaker/index.html However, while I've never had a problem with PlusMaker, be sure to backup your important files -- just in case -- before converting the drive! -j Noah Wood [EMAIL PROTECTED] on 5/5/05 9:44 AM wrote: How can I change my HD Format from standard to extended by saving all my data, or is this impossible.
