remote boot apple ii

[Doug Kiekow]

I've set up a Mac IIsi with AppleShare Server 3.0 to remote boot and old 
Apple IIgs. I'm wondering if its possible to use my Workgroup Server 
running a/ux to do the remote boot.

Re: Clicking 40mb Fujitsu SCSI HDD, ideas?

[Doug Kiekow]

There are a few odd tricks that might get it running. Easiest to try us simply 
to turn the drive (or the whole computer) upside down and try booting. Another 
even stranger is to freeze the drive as in put in the freezer for a few hours. 
Try to connect it up before it warms up. I have an external quantum that i have 
to flip each time before use. It's been that way for over 10 years, but still 
works.

There is a product called "DeOxIt" that removes oxidation with a single drop.

Re: Monitor

[Doug Kiekow]

FWIW I use Dell 15” LCDs on a variety of vintage macs.  Mostly thru the 
switched connectors, but on IIsi’s the non switched 640x480 works best.  If you 
need to make your own the Knowledge Base article "Macintosh Monitor Sense 
Codes: Technical Description” describes the sense pins, and how they need to be 
connected.

Re: Monitor

[Doug Kiekow]

Never tried a 17”, doubt if the vram i’ve got would support that pixel density. 
 Currently connected: Dell 1505FP to a IIsi, Dell 1505FP to a Quadra 950, Dell 
E152FPb to a PowerMac 7200. Also have a Dell E152FPb connected to an Apple 
//gs, but that is through a strange video game-to-monitor board. Last is a 
Vision Sciences CTscan medical monitor connected to a Quadra 800. Some of the 
connectors will only work on certain machines, and it’s best to start at 
640x480 and work up.

I still use both a LaserWriter Pro 600 and a LaserWriter 8500 connected via

Re: Finding old Apple Laserwriter //I have some Apple Laserwriters

[Doug Kiekow]

It depends on your current operating system. First you need a copy of the 
LaserWriter Pro 630 PPD from an older operating system. Then on a 10.11.x 
system you need to disable SIP and install the PPD in (your hard 
drive)/Library/Printers. Next go to System Preferences, Printers & Scanners and 
add a new printer. Choose the IP address of your printer, the line printer 
protocol (LPD), click on the Use line and Select Software. Your LaserWriter 
should then be in the Printer Software list that opens.

Somewhere between 10.6.x and 10.11.x the location of the PPD’s changed and I’m 
not sure when.

Re: "Sticky" 80Mb Quantum Drives

[Doug Kiekow]

There are several voodoo fixes that might help.  Since the drive is somewhat 
inaccessible try turning the whole computer upside down for maybe a half hour 
and then try booting in that position.  Another fix is to remove and freeze the 
drive, overnight in a cold freezer, then try installing it and booting.

Re: "Sticky" 80Mb Quantum Drives

[Doug Kiekow]

Could well be, I can only relate things that have worked for me.  There is a 
full height drive (IBM) in my Quadra 950 that’s been in the freezer more times 
than I care to think about over the last decade and it hasn’t groaned it’s last 
yet.  My more classic macs have a mixture of drives, but mostly Quantum, and 
they have survived even more extreme measures.  The last 2 Connor drives that 
totally failed I’ve replaced with SCSI2SD adapters, and think I will continue 
that conversion if and when other drives fail.
