Re: Turning off test-page on power-up, LaserWriter

How the heck do you tell an Apple LaserWriter (16/600 PS) to quit printing the test page every time it gets powered up? This is something I used to know but I've forgotten the secret somewhere along the line. you need the so-called Apple LW printer utility. It should be in the original

(cross post with Powerbooks list) === I have a mixed network: airport-hub-ethernet-apple talk. It works flawlessly so that I can share the LaserWriters and even the StyleWriter 2500 (witht the iPrint SL adaptor). All the Macs connected to the ethernet and with TCP/IP can obtain the

Re: Using sonnet 7200 g3 pci card in a 9600

The 7200 hasn't got the upgradable processor, so sonnet came out with this PCI card. I think it will not work in anything else than the 7200/8200, however, since the 9600 is plenty of PCI slots it could be an interesting experiment. Ben Someone now if a sonnet 7200 g3 400 mhz pci card can

Re: new mac names & designations

Hi there, With these new Intel chips, Macs won't be called ever again as 'G5' or 'G4'. Will we return to names like those on the past? (Centris, Quadra, LC, etc...) Or will Macs be called as Mac D or PowerBook M? who knows! I liked the 6xxx, 7xxx, 8xxx, and 9xxx names: you can tell exactly w

Re: performa 200 system 6

I thought thet the X-ROM stuff was only available on the original Classic, not the Classic II which has a 68030 processor with optional FPU. Ben -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by and... Small Dog Electronicshttp://www.smalldog.com | Enter To Win A | -- Canon PowerShot

Re: Not your typical vintage but check this out!

I believe it is really made for swithchers. A true Mac user had to add the display (> 900 USD used for the cheapest Apple branded) and the mouse and keyboard (other 100 bucks). While a PC user will be happy either to stick with his/her original stuff (display, mouse and keyboard) or to buy chea

Re: Word Processor on Classic II

I have 2 Classic II's with 10 MB RAM, one with 80 MB & one with 500 MB hard drives. I can use Microsoft Word 4.0 or 5.1 on either or both. Which would be better? Or another Word Processor altogether? You can even run Word 6, but I believe that the best compromise for this Mac is Word 5.1, which I

Re: LC using a cable modem and etc..

That is just the coolest thing ever! Seeing a Classic with that kind of power...it's like giving a Karmann Ghia a Ferrari engine! Thanks. I found the old web page an started translating it. Right now it is 50% in US English (well, sort of, let's say Italian-English...) and 50% is in Italian. Tha

Re: LC using a cable modem and etc..

Oooo! You _have_ to pop that apart and take pictures! Upgrades like that for the Classic are rare beasts. You bet!! I managed to find the very first pictures that I took with the QuickTake 200. I should have somewhere the original web page that I made at that time with the very first version

Re: LC using a cable modem and etc..

Okay guys, but you do not consider the satisfaction to have such a thing. I personally have a Mac Classic with a TechWorks 68030 at 40 MHz with FPU and 16 MB RAM. At the time, 1995, I spent more than 300 USD for the accelerator, the additional RAM and the CompactVirtual software. This is faith,

LC vs. LC 475

I have just found two old LCs. I would like to rejuvenate them so that students and lab assistant can use them. In our environment we have already moved to OS X, airport etc..., however I believe these vintage Macs are worth a few bucks for upgrading them. So the idea is to upgrade the LC wit

old PB TFT display

I learnt from the PB list that some PB display can suffer from this symptom: The adhesive allows a minute amount of water vapor to penetrate, as this happens the display will continue to darken from the edges to the center. The problem is more acute in environments with higher humidity. Thi
