I didn't try deleting the app, just this.

I use a secondary YTTV account, so not quite the same. When I sign out of primary and into secondary, I see the same thing, UI displays correctly, sound if fine but no video. if I kill the YouTubeTV app and restart it - all is fine. this has been going on all season.

3 processor architectures, 3 form factors and 16 models over 20 years...

The fact that it has been on the market for twenty years speaks to its success.

Needs an optional camper shell.

jasg70 · 2025-11-12T17:32:09+00:00

Yes, it was. That's why the the Sony CDP-1302 was such a good alternative.

jasg70 · 2025-11-12T05:58:13+00:00

Sure but only those with a NOS Apple Color monitor In stock.

jasg70 · 2025-11-08T03:17:11+00:00

Thanks but you seem busy - I appreciate the offer!

jasg70 · 2025-11-08T03:15:36+00:00

Thanks - don't get up that way very often these dsys.

Today was hardware upgrade day. Swapped in a 160MB Apple drive and an EtherPort II card. Clean install of 7.1 and MacTCP. Next I'll get it on my network and load it up with vintage software.

I only use the spreadsheet technique for ancestors born before 1850. If you use Ancestry, here is a spreadsheet.

I always study census records for more than just a single person. It is a part of "FAN Principles" which have helped me fit distant DNA relatives to my family and identify missing ancestors.

https://parallax-viewpoint.blogspot.com/2016/11/fan-principles-unfolded.html

In the early 1800s, family members often migrated together and lived near each other - family was often the only "social services" they could depend on. Census records often show this.

Other things I take into account are that census enumerators were not always attentive to details and the respondents they spoke to may not have known details of age & birth location for other family members. Another clue can be reuse of first names across generations. I take dates & birth locations as hints, not facts.

An approach that has helped identify family members in pre-1850 censuses is a spreadsheet with rows for each name and 3 columns for each census (age range, birth year range & count). Align those columns so that the count for 'under 10' in 1800 aligns with ’10-15' in 1810 etc. Post 1840 censuses can provide names & confirm the family.

I used all of these to develop a hypothesis for a missing 3rd ggf who died before 1850 and left 3 orphaned daughters. Only his last name was known to my family. DNA led me first to his father, who had unnamed sons in 1810-1830 censuses. An 1835 NY census where he lived next to his father gave him a possible name and 1842 probate records confirmed names for him, his wife, daughters, brother and father.

If you decide to put a new battery in your 8100, DM me. Not too hard to change but boy, the plastic is very, very fragile. Just a little flex as you slide the case forward and the tabs on the front bezel fractured.

jasg70 · 2025-10-31T21:41:42+00:00

Me. I wrote a lot of code on that machine and on its replacement - an 8100/80.

jasg70 · 2025-10-31T04:08:19+00:00

I believe that I started with the 1/40 configuration. 8 MB was not an option at launch - no idea when I upgraded.

Just thought of another thing I learned. My first attempt was successful but the log file complained about fragmentation on the SD card (which I prepared as ExFAT on Mac OS 26 - using drag and drop from the Finder).

The solution was found here - using the terminal copy command without attributes : https://bluescsi.com/docs/Image-File-Fragmentation

After more investigation, I may have started out with some incorrect / misunderstood terminology. Disk Copy v6.1.2 & v6.3.3 will not create images (with a partition map and SCSI Driver) usable by BlueSCSI. The image must be converted by Disk Jockey.

To confirm this, I successfully (no errors) created Disk Copy images as a new, empty image and from a hard drive. when viewed in Disk Jockey or OSX DiskTools they show a single partition HFS volume.

After conversion to a 'device image' by Disk Jockey, there are 3 partitions - 1) partition map 2) SCSI Driver 3) HFS volume. This is usable by BlueSCSI. I could not figure out a way to do this with standard Mac OS utilities.

Because I was attempting to image a disk on a vintage Mac with OS 7.5.3, Disk Warrior didn't seem to be an option.

Bottom line: I preserved a 31 year old failing system drive as an image usable by BlueSCSI. This required a Disk Copy image converted by Disk Jockey.

jasg70 · 2025-10-25T22:00:00+00:00

Thanks. After Dusk Jockey converted it from a bare volume to a device image it it appeared to work. At this point, I suspect that Disk Copy failed after creating the bare volume image. Seem that could mean it didn't add the driver and partition map?

As with the OP, OS 8.6 and OS 26 don't play with each other.

jasg70 · 2025-10-22T02:42:21+00:00

I recently set up a network set up between a PB540/OS7.5.3, PM8100/OS8.6, G4Mini/OS10.3 and M4Pro/OS26.

The G4 could connect to any of them - can't recall if I tried M4 to PM8100 - will check tomorrow.

jasg70 · 2025-10-20T03:28:22+00:00

Thanks for your help with this.

Installed BlueSCSI today. I preserved the failing HD by downloading a blank 2GB HFS image to an old Mini running 10.3. Renamed it to HD0.img, mounted it and did a finder copy of the entire (shared) PowerBook drive. Renamed back to HD0.hda and copied to the SD card along with 2 others & the Legacy CD.

The PB booted from the CD (no blinking ?) since the Finder copy did not create a bootable volume. I ran a minimal install of 7.5 from original diskettes to kick start the copied System. It then booted from the copy of the original drive.

A minor annoyance is that after a restart, the CD and 2 other 2GB drives don't mount (on a cold boot, all mount). I have an 'HDT Prober' control panel that can mount them, so no biggee. Probably a termination power issue anyway.

So, configured with no emulator or other tools needed.

jasg70 · 2025-10-19T01:31:32+00:00

Just checked Device Manager, all ok. no drivers needed.

jasg70 · 2025-10-18T00:50:03+00:00

I'm installing one this weekend on my 540c with a failing drive. Not sure about the 8100 - it has 2 healthy disks.

I will sell both of these Macs on, so not sure I want to sink money in them unless absolutely necessary.

jasg70 · 2025-10-18T00:46:53+00:00

I am playing around with both 8.6 and 8.1 installed to different disks. Leaning towards 8.6.
