I recently got a IIci with os7, and I am having trouble reading disks. I
didn't have any mac floppies, so I used an old pc one to test if it could
format disks.After I put the disk in It asked if I wanted to format the disk,
but i had forgotten to check what was on the disk ,so i hit cancel.
No, Most of the legacy machines were picky, I had this issue between a Mac
II Si and a Power Mac 7200

I have a quadra 700 that I intend to use in a friendly wager against a
friend... We read an article about a golf pro using 20 year old equipment to
see how much golf technology has changed.
I wagered I could survive a week with my quadra 700 (which I still use for
games, etc) and he said he co

What OS are you running? I've taken a 3400 running 7.1 online with a very
old IE and a Lombard with Classilla under OS9. Both were much happier with
mobile versions of sites, obviously.

hi robert.
i've had a similar idea and so i arranged a second workspace with a quadra 700,
too ;-)
the 950 would be more powerful for graphic stuff, but it's too loud (for
2012-ears).
everything is fine, but surfing is'nt fun with a 68k-machine. i'm using wannabe
for „fast“,
text-only searches
Classilla is a winner, I have mine set to emulate iOS browsing rather than the
default Nokia. Works well.

I'm sorry to hear that, seeing as how 8.5 seems to be the bare-bones minimum
that Classilla will run under, with 9.1. being the recommended minimum:

I don't think the quadra can run anything over 8.1? Never tried though.

I've had the machine since 1993 and don't think there is too much left to add
to it.
It currently has:

I tended to keep both Netscape 4 and the last 68k version of iCab on my

they tended to either crash a lot, break websites worse, or just stall

Ah, NT 3.51. That'll complicate things a bit, since about all it has
easily is Netscape 4 and the 16 bit version of IE5. Although if you're
clever enough, it is possible to run Firefox 2.x on it. But hopefully he
won't figure that out :)
I think my 840AV was my favorite Mac just for the sake o
OS 8.6 requires a PowerPC processor, so that's that.
IE is gonna be your best bet, and NT 3.51 is going to have a similar vintage IE
with the same struggles rendering modern web pages.

Yes, apparently 8.1 is the cutoff (at least, according to the spec sheet it
is). A PPC upgrade would presumably let you go beyond that.

What if we both went to Linux?
We both agreed to the operating systems we were running when we stopped using
these computers on a daily basis...

It's odd the number of people who develop software for PCs that insist on using

It's a week. We will tough it out.

fortune on my quadras... Not so much for him.)

It needs cleaned and lubed. The drive is easy to remove from the plastic

Next remove the cylinder head screws from the sides.
