Re: Q800 Confusion
I am trying to bring my old Q800 up to operating condition. Previously it was used for a recording studio (Pro Tools) running on 48MB RAN OS 7.5.1 -- it sat for a number of years, but fired up with no problem. It has a stock HD and came with a Toshiba CD-ROM (X340--probably not a full product id, but pretty much close). It is managed by CD Toolkit 1.5.2. If I leave CD Toolkit on, I get a start-up message from CD Toolkit saying something to the effect that ...CD Toolkit has a problem with the way the CD was masteredproblems at the end of the data... Underneath that is the warning that this disk cannot be read by this MacIntosh. Any thoughts or ideas? All help will be appreciated. My first impulses are that your CD-ROM Toolkit extensions are screwed up somehow, and that the CD-ROM isn't compatible with the version of AppleCD that 7.5.3 installs. Try http://www.macdrivermuseum.com/disk.shtml to download slightly newer versions of the AppleCD driver that should stand a pretty good chance of working with your CD-ROM.

Confusion!
What with one thing another my Performa 630CD is still not on line but now I'm confused. Browsing 'Jag's House' I came across a posting from a Mr.Ray Whitcombe entitled 'PPP Problems' which listed all the difficulties he was having here in the U.K. online generally. This is where the confusion comes in for, in his reply Jag wrote, FWIW, I wouldn't recommend surfing on a 68k Mac to my worst enemy- it's simply a waste of time. So, where do I go from here? Do I scrap the idea carry on using the PC or do I try with the Mac, or do I say 'Sod it' look for a G3 or something? Comments, please!

Well, I use a Performa 575 with iCab and it is sometimes slow, but it is definitely not a waste of time. I wonder where the limitations really are. I have a 56k modem. Most of the time I run it at 33.6 because I can't stay connected at faster speeds. I have wondered about DSL, but it seems like on most web sites there are bursts of modem activity,followed by 'long' pauses while the computer figures out how to render the page. I can see how a faster connection would make a difference on sustained transfers, but how much would it help for typical browsing? There are things that I haven't been able to do (at least not well). These are low priority for me, but I have visited sites that required them and I was curious. Sometimes it's hard to find a 68k version and even when you do, the standard that sites are using has superceded it. One example is Apple's Quicktime movie trailer page. Other examples include: Windows Media Player Shockwave Real Player Audio Like so many things computer related, whether or not you will be happy surfing with a 68k, depends on what you plan do with it, what your expectations are, and your tolerance for experimenting. For me, the fun in using a 68k is seeing just how far I can get with it. jim -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Miro Prisma 16GX Nubus video board - anyone knows?
Steff, that would be very kind of you to send me this installer - maybe the card will work with it. I also zapped the P-Ram which fixes such problems sometimes, but this time it did not help. Thank you again ^_^ -Peter Message-Id: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Miro Prisma 16GX Nubus video board - anyone knows? Date: Sun, 18 Aug 02 07:01:57 +0200 From: Stefan Daehler [EMAIL PROTECTED] I could send you the Miro Prisma 1152GX Installer. Do you want to try with this one? Steff ORIGINAL MESSAGE: Hello, recently, I got a Miro Prisma 16 GX Nubus video card in my hand, a pretty costly piece back in 1994 when it was manufactured. I put it in several nubus macs (Q800, Q840, PM8100), but the screen remains black and so I guess that it is waiting for a driver or a secret keystroke on startup. I did a search on the net without success and also Miro (a German firm near Braunschweig) does not offer any information. Does anyone have the drivers or knows where to get them? The label on the surface of the card reads: PRISMA GX16 Vers. 2.1 Jan.13.1994 Well, thanks in advance for any hint. -Peter -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Confusion!
Eh, I've used my 68ks for browsing, and it's not a waste of time. It does require patience, but it's far from a waste of time. It's quite tolerable on my my 640CD and Quadra 840AV. Using iCab it's positively gratifying, I have browsed Apple's own website using iCab on a 50Mhz accelerated SE/30 before now and, even if it is in Black and White, it has a definite cool factor :). I can say that with iCab and a 68040 powered Quadra or LC Mac it's a very useful thing. I don't personally browse on 68ks as I have a PowerMac 7500 (w/ 604e/200) and an iBook 300Mhz going 24/7 but I know it can be done.

660AV
Hello. We were given a Centris 660 AV. The CPU powered on and the monitor powered on, but nothing appeared on the monitor. So we connected the CPU to a 610's monitor and the 610 to the 660's monitor. The 660 CPU works just fine with the 610 monitor, but the 660 monitor still has a dark screen. However, that cable designed to connect the 660 system is some monster cable. I'm wondering if we're not connecting it right. Any advice? Having the capability to connect that 660 AV to our TV would really be nice for our journalism class.

Trying to recall right offhand if this is one of the ones that does that with a bad PRAM battery... *shrug* Reasonably cheap to check, in any case... even without buying a new battery... turn off and *immediately* back on - basically double click the power button and see if it works! -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: 660 AV
I just posted a request for help with a 660 AV. Two hours after reconnecting the 660 components, we realized it was still on. My son turned the CPU off and then on again, and voila! the image appeared. So at the moment it works, but why would this have made it work? Definitely replace the PRAM battery. One more question about the 660 AV (it won't be the last, I'm sure) - the interrupt switch (is that what it's called) that's on the back of the 610 isn't on the 660. How do you restart if it crashes? It's called the Three-Fingered Salute. Hold down the Command (Apple) Key, the Control Key, and the Power Key at the same time. I think the power switch on the front of the 660 will also suffice tyo turn it off and on again. -dvpierce -- Quadlist is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

I'm not sure of this, but quickly turning your mac on and off again gives your 660 enough power to allow it to boot properly. It is also an indication that your system clock and parameter ram (PRAM) battery is no longer functioning. You most likely need another one. I looked in the faq and spotted the section you need, see sections 2.5.2 and 2.5.3: http://macfaq.org/hardware/logicboard.shtml I haven't had to change these before, but I'm sure the list can point you to perhaps even better resources. These small batteries reside inside your system's motherboard. Fortunately, I remeber the pizza-box styled case is a very easy one to open. But please get some assistance with it if you're not technical! If you are technical, google also came up with a page that looks at the pram in some detail (just scroll down the site); the link on this page shows you actual photos inside a quadra 610/660av (along with a few others ... the 660's ones are almost at the end) http://www.academ.com/info/macintosh/ http://www.academ.com/info/macintosh/early.shtml (the first is the main subject page, the 2nd the photos) the faq probably can offer hope that helps and good luck! :) Craig __ Do You Yahoo!?
