20th Anniversary Macintosh Enhancements

Hi,
I have a 20th Anniversary Macintosh with Sonnet G3 upgrade OS 9.1 (but don't have the OS CD).
I would like to upgrade to OS 9.2.2. Does my machine support this upgrade?

You can use this tool to install Mac OS 9.22 on your computer.

  • 20th Anniversary Macintosh (TAM) Static/Buzzing Sound

    Hello There,
    I have a 20th Anniversary Macintosh which is buzzing.
    I know there are other posts about this but i just wanted to confirm the best solution.
    The TAM switches on but takes about a minute for the light to come on and the screen to light up, at which point the buzzing starts but only sometimes.
    If, once the buzzing has started, you press the TAM in the correct spot (Not on the subwoofer) the buzzing will stop for a short time, however this spot constantly moves . How should i fix this? Is it still a problem with the subwoofer joints?
    The computer has OS 8.5 and has a Sonnet Crescendo Upgrade (If you need the details i will post them).
    All Drivers are installed for this Upgrade.
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards Toby Herbert.

    Update: I have tried cleaning the connectors in the subwoofer but to no joy . What should i do now?

  • 20th Anniversary Macintosh (Tam) Fan Replacement HELP Please

    Hi
    I would like to replace the original cooling fan
    of my TAM (the one located near near the hard drive) because i'ts too noisy.. do you know about some quiet fan that satisfy the
    parameters of the original fan (Voltage, Air Flow) that is suitable
    for replcement?
    Thank You

    Welcome!
    You should hear the fan in my Beige G3 mini-tower! Sounds like practice day at an air show!
    Most computer makers get fans from outside vendors. With other parts, I've looked at the part and recorded any manufacturers' information, then searched the Web for those names and/or numbers to find the specs. Once you have them, matching airflow and electrical requirements are fairly easy.
    I have heard good things about Vantec fans and have their 60mm "Stealth" model set up as an auxiliary PCI card cooler in my G3; it added no additional noise, and came with all the wiring adaptors needed to make the installation more elegant. You don't always get that when buying a "fan in a bag." Another nice Vantec touch not all fans have: airflow direction and fan rotation indicators are moulded into the housing. Makes it harder to install one backwards.
    Remember that some fans advertised a "quiet" do so by moving less air. Not a good thing. That why you are wise to get the original specs.

  • Attention Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh Owners

    I've created a community specific to this vintage/rare Mac
    Come share pictures, stories and tips/tricks for the 20th Anniversary Mac here: http://appletam.ning.com

    You may want to try the Audio TuneUp 2.0. It was originally designed for Mac OS 8.1 but given your circumstance I think you should try it anyways. Some 6400 owners report still benefitting from the model specific update for that Mac too. Here's a link to the download: http://download.info.apple.com/AppleSupport_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English-North_American/Macintosh/System/Othe r_System/AudioTuneUp2.0.img.bin.
    I hope it helps to get rid of the static/buzzing noise. That's what the update was originally designed for so I think it might still work under Mac OS 9.1 too.

  • Airport Express to play music through 20th Anniversary Mac?

    I'd like to be able to play music through the Bose sound system in my G3-upgraded 20th Anniversary Mac.  I've used a very early version of iTunes but it annoyingly pauses fairly frequently while playing for some reason.  Since I have an early Airport Express and have an Ethernet adaptor in the TAM I wondered if it's possible to connect the TAM via cable to the Airport Express and stream music from an iMac connected wirelessly to the Airport.  It seems a shame not to utilize the Bose speaker system for music.  Thanks for any ideas and suggestions.

    As far as I know this isn't possible. I might try some stuff using my TAM (although results may very, mine isn't a production model) to see about figuring something out. If the computers sit close enough together you might be able to run a 3.5mm(1/8") headphone cable between the iMac's audio out and the TAM's line in, that or make use of the FM tuner and listen to some awesome FM stations.
    Now that I think of that you can invest in something like the link I'll add at the bottom of this, connect it to the speaker port of the iMac then use the tuner on the TAM to tune into the frequency of it. This would also allow the connecting of something such as an iPod.

  • 20th anniversary mac service parts

    I'm curious if anyone has ideas on how I might find a CD-ROM to replace the CD-ROM in a 20th Anniversary Mac. 
    I have a TAM a friend used, and I'm trying to ready it for sale.  If you put in a CD, you hear the CD clicking, but the CD doesn't spin.  I've tried manually moving the spindle (as some older CD-Drives of that nature would sometimes have lubrication problems), but no luck.
    I've searched the web all over and cannot find if the service parts may even exist.  The drive is unique in that it opens to reveal the disc in place (rather than having a slot, a caddy, or a door that holds the disc). So even though that machine has a lot in common with the Powerbook 3400, the CD-ROM drive is different.
    Ideas?

    I don't know if you still need help on fixing your TAM CD device. I had the same problem.
    As you know, CD devices for the TAM are rarely available on eBay and cost a fortune (last auction I saw maybe went for 200 bucks or more). The Apple 600i SCSI CD-ROM (tray-loading) internally is very similar to the design of the TAM CD.. They regularly pop up on eBay for $10 to $20. Model CR-504-C appears to be the closest match.
    I bought one for $10, opened it up and discarded the casing. The circuit board is identical except for a couple wires controlling opening/closing the loading tray, and an IC chip. The motor mechanism is an identical match. I swapped the motor assemblies (carriage and all) after transferring over the rubber grommets for the TAM. Put my TAM back together, and the CD works flawlessly!
    If your problem is not with the motor carriage, then you can try using the circuit board after swapping the IC chip. If it's a problem with the chip, this solution may not work. Seems to me, there is a much higher possiblity of the motor assembly going bad than with the chip.
    There is currently an auction on eBay for several of these devices for $15 with free shipping. Can't hurt, only $15. Search eBay for AppleCD 600i CR-504-C. - Fred

  • 20th Anniversary Mac and Networking

    I have a 20th Anniversary Mac running OS 7.6.1. Our internal network is based on Windows 2003 servers. How can I get the 20th Mac on the internet? I have a NIC card installed. I have tried letting it use DHCP, manually setting the IP, etc., but nothing seems to work.
    Any ideas?

  • Screensaver for 20th Anniversary Mac

    Hello, I'm looking for a screensaver for my old and bautyful 20th Anniversary Mac. Somebody knows where to find a screesaver (aquarium style...) and if it works with OS 7..6.1 ? Thanks

    rmpostal,
    After Dark was the most widely used screen saver.  A google search revealed several options.  Email if you need a disk copy.
    Here is an OS-X version:
    http://download.cnet.com/After-Dark-X-Fish/3000-2257_4-26447.html
    I did not spend a lot of time searching for the older downloads because it would be faster to walk upstairs and copy it off the TAM.

  • After Effects 20th Anniversary celebration!

    I wanted to let you all know that we are now celebrating After Effects 20th Anniversary! Over the next month, you'll see some cool events, blogs, articles, videos, and more. Check out the AE & Me blog here: http://blogs.adobe.com/aftereffects/category/ae-me
    How did After Effects affect your career?

    Tim Wilson at the Creative COW got with me in mid-December on this very same topic.   The nice folks at The COW now have my story and selected screen grabs; I expect my tale to grace its pages in a short time. 
    Long story short: in the mid to late '90's, After Effects was the gateway to looking really good if you were in broadcast TV. 
    With a small investment of money, a bigger investment in learning & experimentation and possibly an even bigger investment in render times, work done by Little Guys like us at a TV station in market 80-something in Iowa could look just as good as work coming out of the network in New York or LA.
    The competitors in our market wondered how we did it, and we had ABSOLUTELY no intention of telling them.  When pressed, we'd mention anything BUT After Effects.  Were you aware that 90's-era NLE's, once you got to know them well, could work miracles?  Didn't think so.
    So, I guess you can blame me for a half-dozen or more copies of AE versions 3, 4 and 5 not being sold in Eastern Iowa.  Feel free to take it out of my Adobe paycheck... ha!

  • Twentieth Anniversary Macintosh static/buzzing on startup

    I have searched in vain for the ultimate discussion on this very old problem (but new for me): My TAM, which is used __very__ infrequently, and primarily for music playback at this point, is exhibiting what has been a common issue in the past for this machine--static or buzzing (sound emanating from the subwoofer) on startup. If there is an article detailing this problem, it is very difficult to locate, so any clues will be welcome. Actually, the sound disappears if I tap moderately on the TAM main unit--the static instantly clicks off. Perhaps there is a deteriorating connection--the motherboard maybe has oxidation at the terminal connectors??......
    This TAM has not been modified, has 96 megs of memory and otherwise appears to be working flawlessly.

    You may want to try the Audio TuneUp 2.0. It was originally designed for Mac OS 8.1 but given your circumstance I think you should try it anyways. Some 6400 owners report still benefitting from the model specific update for that Mac too.

  • 20th Anniversary Mac and iTunes

    I read somewhere that it might be possible to use the TAM Bose sound system with streamed iTunes music. I have a 350 MHz TAM with a 10/100 ethernet card. Is it possible to stream from my G5 iMac to the TAM with Airport Express and Airtunes? I have iTunes V.2 on the TAM but I'm sure no one was thinking of this capability in those days. The Bose sound system is so good that I'd really like to utilize it if possible. Any help or pointers would be much appreciated to keep this computer going.

    Well, in this case, you have two options. With the iMac G5, the AirPort Express, and the TAM, you can use the AirPort Express for streaming. You can either have the AirPort Express hooked up to the Bose Speakers alone, and you could control the songs from the iMac, or you could hook up the Bose system to the AirPort Express, and hook up the TAM to the AirPort Express with ethernet. Now you could turn on sharing in both iTunes on both computers, (if iTunes 2.x supports sharing) and control the shared songs from ur iMac to be played through the bose speakers.

  • Twentieth anniversary macintosh keep restarting

    whenever i shut down my TAM , it will just restart at once or maybe some hours later (yes , very creepy). what i can do now is unplug it from AC outlet .
    this machine had DEAD before after idle for one year . i had replaced the cube battery inside and pushed the little reset button on the logic board . it woke up but just like doesn't want to be turned off again .
    someone said maybe it is due to short-circuit of the keyboard , but my keyboard is 100% working .
    please help . thanks in advance .
    regards
    david

    The loss/reset of date & time after being disconnected from electricity for 2 days would indicate a very weak/dead internal battery. How long ago did you replace it and do you have a voltmeter to check it? Also, have you read through the tech questions posted at the "official" TAM web site, to see if other users have experienced the restart problem? Because the Apple remote control used some of the same frequencies as a Sony remote control, older Performa/Power Mac models having the TV/FM card would be turned ON (randomly), when the Sony control was being used nearby. Your immediate restart after shutdown appears to be a slightly different problem, but powering ON hours later could be caused by IR frequency interference.

    Hi,
    Does anybody know anything about this pci card?
