Re: TCP/IP and System 7
Vintage Macs wrote... Subject: TCP/IP and System 7 From: Luca Rescigno [EMAIL PROTECTED] Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] I just got an LC III+ and I'm planning on setting it up as a computer to use at my home for basic internet browsing and email when I'm not at my dorm. Right now it's working, with OS 7.6.1 and an ethernet card (my home has IDSL internet so it comes through our LAN). However, on the 33 MHz 68030 processor, OS 7.6.1 seems quite sluggish. It's perfectly usable, but it would be nice if it was faster. I would like to put 7.1 on it, but I am afraid I won't be able to connect it to the internet using 7.1 because 7.1 doesn't have TCP/IP, it has MacTCP. TCP/IP is what manages every other computer's network connection. Anyway, I'd like to set it up, and I'd really appreciate any suggestions people would be willing to give me. I am not putting 7.5.5 on it because it's probably not much faster than 7.6.1, and it's a downgrade in other respects as well. So I have two options, really. Find a way to connect to the network in 7.1 (either by hacking TCP/IP onto it or by getting MacTCP to work with my network), or find a way to speed up 7.6.1... By stripping out all the ppc code from the OS using PowerPCheck 3.2 FAT you can slim down and speed up 7.6.1 considerably. I have an LC575 running this setup. Nevertheless, augmenting 7.1 is just so much cooler to do. Bob F -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

SCSI Probe says there is a CD-ROM drive in the machine. BUT: Apple CD Player tells me it can't find it, and, if I attempt to put a CD into the caddy, it looks like it's just going to drop in the computer. I opened up the back and looked through, and I don't see what I'd expect to see if there was a CD drive in there. But I'm used to CD drives where there is a button on the front, and the tray comes out. So, is there just something I am missing here? SCSI Probe is so sure the drive is installed that it gives the model number and everything. Try the 5.3.1 version of Apple CD-ROM extension after you find a caddy.

Let's see, with 6 other apps running (including iCab), my PB2400/G3-320 (8.6) gets Mozilla's browser window open in...uh oh...20 sec. Not so hot at sharing cpu time I guess. Maybe that's where the difference comes in. Quitting iCab, trying it again...still about 20 sec with 5 other apps running. But in my WallSt (now on the fritz with power problems), 'Zilla was been terrific. Gotta admit that iCab seems more appropriate for the comparatively tiny screen size of the Comet. Maybe I should try it in the CC/PPC too... That unseemly delay between the Mozilla splash screen's disappearance and the browser window's opening--about 8-9 seconds on this Comet? They will, I hope, fix that before long. BTW, anyone know why iCab lists two copies of the QT plugin when I have but one? Bob F -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Help with Imprimis full-height drive jumper settings
Howdy folks. I use a topless LC III to test old scsi drives, but this one has me hornswoggled. Hooked up and plugged in, this drive, pulled from a IIfx, just clicks and its red power LED just blinks. I'm starting up from an external scsi ZIP volume, but the startup hangs whenever the Imprimis is plugged into the LC III's internal HDD scsi cable. Looking at the Imprimis drive from the rear, there are seven jumper pairs just to the left of the AC power receptacle. Counting from the right, the first two positions are jumpered, while the other five are not. Then, just to the right of the scsi connector, there are two more sets. Counting from the left, the first pair is jumpered. Please help me make sense of this. Bob F -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I used 7.5.5 on my III+ for a time and it was dog slow. 7.6.1 is not much different and will only be worse, but more stable. It's doable and livable with but not if you need to do anything strenuous. I'd recommend 7.1, it's stable, speedy and not too feature-bare. Gamba has d/l links for the 7.1 install disks. 7.1 can be made much more feature-rich by adding components from later systems (See Gamba's pages). On the other hand, I stripped all the PPC code from 7.5.5 for use in LC III's for elementary school programs and was really pleased with the results. Uses only 4MB RAM, has better AppleScripting support, and no less stable than 7.6.1. I was surprised! Bob F -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

OS 7.5.3 and the 7.5.5 update can be downloaded for free from Apple's site. A big plus.
