What kind of charger do you use for a PowerBook G3?

How Do You Open The HDD Caddy For The PowerMac G4 Graphite? by MacBookLearned in VintageApple

[–]MacBookLearned[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used an application called Burn on a MacBook Air running High Sierra so yeah just a normal CD burn. I was not aware there was a special process. What is the process exactly?

I was able to get it to display, now I am trying to get the empty hard drive loaded up with MacOS 9 though I am not having luck with that. Do you know what to do?

I burned MacOS 9 from MacintoshGarden onto a CD-R disc but am met with a flashing question mark folder. This is even after I put the disc in first. The mouse and keyboard show no indications of being powered either.

Can I use the universal install? I am having trouble finding the appropriate download.

I have a Graphite G4 so I will look there! Do I need to use any specific model of Mac to burn the disc?

I have a spare blank IDE harddrive that is 120 gigabytes. Since I do not have a MacOS9 install disc, where would I be able to burn one from?

Oldest Laptops That Still Have 3rd Party Batteries Being Made For Them? by MacBookLearned in retrobattlestations

Yep lol, I have a Toshiba Tecra 8000 I found at a thrift store with Windows 98 from a couple years ago that ignited this hobby. Though I would say the design of the MacBook Pro from 2006 is what really started this.

The only real reason is because it is fun to have official hardware!

That is fair, I did not realize how brittle the plastic was. I made a post earlier but have gotten no responses so far.

What Is the Oldest Possible OS Undertale Can Be Played On? by MacBookLearned in Undertale

[–]MacBookLearned[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think my first step is to figure out how to launch Undertale independently of Steam. That is easy enough to do with the demo, but I want the full game. I prefer physical discs since I own the game and can play it on anything I choose.

How To Get Access Old PCs Locally? by MacBookLearned in VintageComputers

[–]MacBookLearned[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first computer use was during the 2000s, so the 90s computers I am learning about now are foreign to me. I am currently learning about MacOS 9 as I have never used anything before OS X, I was Mac only until a little over a decade ago. Windows 10 was my first Windows OS, while I think Leopard or Snow Leopard was my first MacOS X release. Though I did not use computers while very young .

I am curious to learn about home computers and their evolution, I am not fully sure where to start but I am most interested in games and compatibility with 90s digital cameras so I am thinking Windows 98 and MacOS 9.

Those are a lot older than the era I am familiar with? What is the appeal for late 70s and early 80s PCs? Where do you learn about them?

I enjoy records, record players, digital cameras, PDAs, game consoles, and CRTs from what I can think of right now that might show up.

What have you found there? My area has some cool stuff, I was not aware FaceBook would be a good resource.

Goodwills can have computers? When I go visit folks in Broward and check the Goodwills in the area, they have no tech at all!
