Cool Hardware Store Sighting
The other day I went to the local hardware store (well, actually it's some 10 miles away, but it's a local chain,) and looked around at the Sauder furniture models. Sauder makes build it yourself furniture, you get a box of pre-cut boards and you get to hammer it together and feel like Norm Abrham for an afternoon. Usually to model the finished product they have cardboard boxes printed with images of VCRs, computers, etc. But I noticed something odd about the desk I saw. On it sat an Apple 20 monitor! (don't remember offhand the proper name for it.) Another desk sported a Mac Plus, and around the corner was a PowerMac 7100 tucked into one of the bays. Don't know if they worked or not, none were plugged in, but they weren't empty shells. the 7100's cover was loose and at 2 cards, a HD, etc. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Past comes back to haunt me...help
-- Hello all- I'm new to this list and I have a peculiar problem. I recently took my old IIci out of mothballs. I had gotten an ethernet card for 5.95 on ebay and also picked up a hub. I plan to use it for email. After setting it up with the right software, using the Pickle's faq, (I'm on the compact mac list as well as the SuperMac list) I ran into my own history. Sometime in 1990, I had passworded the IIci and in order to mount the IIci or the SuperMac, I need to supply the pw. I tried everything I thought I might have used but cant hit the right one. Everything else appears to be working. Anyone know what prefs or what else I can dump or change to get around this problem? This is frustrating and I don't know how to get around it. I used Net Install ZM-1.5 to work with sys 7.5.3 on the IIci. The computer I'm networked to is a Umax S900, with os 9.1 and is upgraded to G4 and 1gb of ram. Both computers see each other in their choosers but are asking for passwords. help! Thank you. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I tried tossing the file sharing prefs and restarted. It produced no change. Asking for the pw happens when I go to the chooser and choose Appleshare, which is on the ethernet. I can see the other computer show up in the chooser window as it should- and when I hit ok I get the password window for that computer.

I think I upgraded via downloads and I have had non of that software for years. I do think that a clean install would work and I do have a sys 8.0 disk but I'm working with 32mgs of ram on the IIci and I dont know if it will install and run okay. I also have a non Apple cd player attached to the IIci that needs its extension to become available so I would not be able to start up with the os 8 cd. I used to have that problem all the time and went thru contortions to get new system os's on. The cd player is an old Spirit machine, and is so slow that it probably runs at -1 speed. dan_A -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Both computers see each other in their choosers but are asking for passwords. If I am getting this correctly, when you try to mount a shared volume or folder residing on the IIci from the Umax, it is asking for a user name and password before it will mount. Perhaps the situation is more complicated than this, but if not, then there are two places where users and passwords can be set. First, in the File Sharing control panel, you can give the computer an owner and password. So, on the IIci, open the file sharing dialog. You should be able to change the owner and password there. If you do that, you should be able to log on to the IIci from the Umax by giving that username and password when the chooser asks from it. Second, the users and groups control panel (the Multiple Users control panel in OS 9.1), allows you to add users to your machine and give them the privilege to mount your volumes or folders. On the IIci, open the users groups control panel and create a new user and give it a password. You should then be able to mount volumes and folders shared on the IIci from the Umax using one of the new user names and passwords. I hope that it is that simple for you. Ed Murphy __ Do You Yahoo!?
