Looking for System 6.0.8 floppy disks

Hi everybody
I have an old Mac Plus 1Mb. I'm looking for the 6.0.8 install floppy system disks; I would like to install the system on another SCSI disk I have. I've downloaded the system disk images from the Apple site, but I've not another Mac to use in order to transfer them to physical floppy disks.
I will be happy if there's someone can help me and send the disks to me (even if they're not the original ones, but a copy created from the images, working of course).
You can write directly to: davide (dot) guida (at) email.it <Edited by Host>
Thanks in advance
Cheers
DG

Suggest you join LEM-Swap for buying & selling Mac stuff. http://groups.google.com/group/lemswap
After you join, post a WTB (want to buy).
Someone may have the discs & would be willing to ship to Italy.

Looking for System Tables / Views like in Oracle DB - user_constraints, user_tab_columns, ...

Hello,
I'm looking for system tables or views like in the Oracle Database.
First I'm looking for running /active sessions - like v$sessions or in an RAC environment gv$session
And get the corresponding SQL from v$sql
Second I had problems to drop tables due to constraints.
Therefore I was looking for dba_constraints, all_constraints or user_constraints
select * from user_constraints WHERE constraint_type in ('R');
With that information I'm able to generate a script to drop the constraints.
Third I want quick lookup about data types used in a table to correct my settings in Oracle BI.
For example which column in which table of my schema uses the datatype BIGINT.
If only 3 attributes in two tables out of 100 use the BIGINT datatype - I'm able to quickly change my settings in the OBIEE repository.
I'm missing a table like user_tab_columns.
How can I get the same information out of TimesTen ?
Thanks in advance,
Thorsten

Hi Thorsten,
You should be able to get some of the information that you want from the TimesTen reports that are in SQL Developer.
e.g.
<TimesTen Reports -> Table -> Columns -> Columns> returns a listing of all the columns and their data types. You can order by the data type column or add a filter (say ='TT_BIGINT') to restrict the result set.
<TimesTen Reports -> Table -> Constraints -> All Constraints / FK Constraints / PK Constraints / Unique Constraints> returns a listing of all the constraints, their name, the table that the constraints are on, and their properties.
For all the SQL Developer reports, you will be able to see the underlying queries and the TimesTen system tables/ views that they reference.

Putting pictures on System 7.1 with floppy disk created on Windows PC

Hi all, I have a Quadra 605 on system 7.1 that I've been experimenting with, would like to get some pictures transferred onto it. I tryed using apple file exchange which is on the Quadra to read a Windows DOS formatted disk with some pictures on it. I was able to copy the files from the disk to the hard drive on the Quadra using file exchange, but when I click on the icon to try to open the picture, I get a message that it can not be opened because the application program that created it can not be found. Is there something else I need to install on the Quadra to open a JPEG image or is there another way to go about doing this? I will not be able to connect the quadra to the internet, all I have is the floppy disk drive, there is no USB port either. Also, I have an iMac on system 9.2 that I copied some pictures to a floppy using the external floppy drive on the iMac. It would open the disk on the Quadra without using file exchange, but it wouldnt open the icons either - I would get the same message that the application program that created it can not be found. Anyhow, I have the iMac on system 9.2 that I can use as well if need to be.

An appropriate 68k version of the shareware program GraphicConverter could be one possibility.
http://www.lemkesoft.com/content/207/download-old-versions.html
An older web browser could be another. Try to open the file from within the application (via the Open dialogue); do not just double-click on it.
However, if not already available, one problem would be to transfer a program to the Quadra 605 if the file size is over 1.4 MB.
Some compression utilities can segment larger files for transfers on multiple floppies, but that would require compatibility on both sides.
Another way could be to use a null-modem cable between a DB-9M serial port of a Windows PC and the MiniDIN-8F Modem Port of the Quadra. The null-modem link can be created by connecting a PC-style DB-9F to DB-25F null-modem cable together with a normal Macintosh DB-25M to MiniDIN-8M hardware handshake modem cable. Normal communications software can be used on both computers (for example, the communications section of ClarisWorks on the Mac, and HyperTerminal on the PC). Do keep a Mac program file downloaded onto a PC in its encoded/compressed state (that is, hqx, bin or sit) until on a Macintosh computer.

Looking for a way to force failed disk to mount ??

I have approx. 450GB of files saved to the disk of my 2TB Time Capsule which suddenly failed and will not mount the internal TC disk.
** I am not talking about Time Machine backups in anyway — I am talking about files + folders of all kinds which I manually saved to the disk. I have no backup for these files. **
I do have an empty 500GB external drive I can archive the files to — however, because I can not get the TC to mount — I cannot archive or copy the files.
I'm looking for any suggestions/workarounds that you may have to help me access these files + force this disk to mount.
Disk Utility / Tech Tool etc. obviously don't work because the disk is not even listed there.
Terminal command ?
Manually remove the disk from the TC hardware + mount another way ?
How would a company like *Drive Savers* do this?

If the drive does not appear in DU, then it is not accessible. You could try using recovery software that may be able to access the drive:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
If the drive's motor has failed (You can't hear or feel any motor vibration directly from the drive) they it's definitely not recoverable. You would have to use a data recovery service in this case.

Looking for Palm os 5.4.9 disk for Centro

Hello,
I recently bought a Palm Centro, however, it did not come with the os 5.4.9 installation disk.
I would like to know if these are still available, and if so, how can I get one? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tim
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Tmair is right. The Palm OS version numbers are not the same as Palm Desktop version numbers. I seem to remember that some versions of the Centro shipped with PD 4.2 and some shipped with PD 6.2. Either will work with the phone. 6.2 was released to be compatible with Vista.

My RAZR will not look for system updates???

It says I need a "Motorola service account", but when I follow the only prompt I have to set one up it won't connect to the server. My wifes Razr updated to JB with no problems. Hers is a newer model, still just a Razr though...I'd like to update, anyone have any ideas?? Thanks in advance!

Is your device on a data plan? You could download the JB update (just google it) to your PC, transfer it to your SD card, and your Razr should find it in install it when you tell it to check for update. Good luck.

Solaris 8 Floppy Disk Drive Problem

Hi to all!, I need help with Solaris 8 10/00 Intel. I�ve installed it and everything works fine, but I cant make the system to recognize the floppy disk drive, everytime I do a "volcheck", it just ignores it. Inside CDE happens the same thing, when I do check the floppy, nothing happens. Any clue?. I�m using an AMD Athlon 700, with VIA KT133 chipset. Thank a lot!.

Try "ftp" + your email address. (but "anonymous" works, too).
Perhaps a typo or there was some other temporary problem with the
web site.
The K7M boards have different bios release numbers, it seems the
first bios release had a revision number of 1007:
ftp://ftp.asus.com.tw/pub/ASUS/mb/slota/k7m
Do you have to boot using the DCA floppy for some specific reason?
(for example to install using the >32GB ide-drive patch; network install
and no local cdrom drive; El-Torito CDROM boot does not work at all)?
Or do you have the system already installed by booting from CDROM,
and you just want to get usable floppy/serial/parallel ports under
solaris 8? In that case have a look at http://www.tools.de/solaris/via/. I've written a small driver that attaches to the VIA
686A SouthBridge PCI/ISA device and it re-enables the Super-I/O
controller on that chip. The Super-I/O chip is disabled due to the
solaris ACPI bug and is the reason all these on-board devices do
not work under solaris 8. According to
http://www.asus.com.tw/products/Motherboard/SlotA/k7m/spec.html, the K7M uses the same SouthBridge chip, so my driver should work for
this board, too.

Rescue and Recovery stalling when searching for system settings.

Being a project manager, I like to back up my laptop regularly. As such, having the Rescue and Recovery set up to do this automatically is a God send.....well that was before April 2010.
For some reason, when I start the Backup routine, it brings up the window that shows the progress and then another pop-up over that indicates that the program is looking for system settings. And that is where it stays. The only way I am able to cancel out of it is to shut down the computer.
I have a T500 laptop running XP SP3, ThinkVantage 6 and Rescue and Recovery 4.
I have an external hard drive which I have used for a number of months for this type of backup. It stopped working after an update of the ThinkVantage software. Sorry, can't tell you which update but it would have taken place between April 12 and May 12.
Has anyone had the same issue and can someone please help.
Pete

Hi,
although I have not seen this situation in the last time, but can you tell me, whether the USB HDD is the only place/store location, where you are storing the RnR backups?
In case you are storing the backups also on the local HDD, then please disconnect the USB HDD and try to store the backup only on the local HDD, whether this will work.
Please also try to check the Windows Event log, whether you will see there any note about RnR, or start debugview whether it will notice anythign. Also another thought press ALT+TAB if it is not possible, that there is some background window open.
Cheers

I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 Mac with MacOS X 10.4 operating system. What will work for me?

I need a floppy disk drive for old 3 1/2" disks. I have a PowerBook G4 with Mac OS X 10.4 operating system. What external drive will for for me?

Hi,
Providing that the old 3.5" floppies are 1.44 MB HD disks, you should be able to use a USB floppy drive.
However, if the disks are 2DD/DSDD in the 800K Mac format a USB drive is not going to work. In this case you would need a suitable semi-old Macintosh computer with a built-in floppy drive as an intermediary.

System Image Restore Fails "No disk that can be used for recovering the system disk can be found"

Greetings
                                    - Our critical server image backup Fails on one
server -
Two 2008 R2 servers. Both do a nightly "Windows Server Backup" of Bare Metal Recovery, System State, C:, System Reserved partition, to another storage hard drive on the same machine as the source. Active Directory is on the C: The much larger D: data
partition on each source hard drive is not included.
Test recovery by disconnecting 500G System drive, booting from 2008R2 Install DVD, recovering to a new 500G SATA hard drive.
Server A good.
Server B fails. It finds the backed-up image, & then we can select the date we want. As soon as the image restore is beginning and the timeline appears, it bombs with "The system image restore failed. No disk that can be used for recovering the system
disk can be found." There is a wordy Details message but none of it seems relevant (we are not using USB etc).
At some point after this, in one (or two?) of the scenarios below, (I forget exactly where) we also got :
"The system image restore failed. (0x80042403)"
The destination drive is Not "Excluded".
Used   diskpart clean   to remove volumes from destination drive. Recovery still errored.
Tried a second restore-to drive, same make/model Seagate ST3500418AS, fails.
Tried the earliest dated B image rather than the most recent, fail.
The Server B backups show as "Success" each night.
Copied image from B to the same storage drive on A where the A backup image is kept, and used the A hardware to attempt restore. Now only the latest backup date is available (as would occur normally if we had originally saved the backup to a network location).
Restore still fails.         It looks like its to do with the image rather than with the hardware.
Tried unticking "automatically check and update disk error info", still fail.
Server A SRP 100MB C: 50.6GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Server B SRP 100MB C: 102GB on Seagate ST3500418AS 465.76GB Microsoft driver 6.1.7600.16385   write cache off
Restore-to hard drive is also Seagate ST3500418AS.

"If your destination disk has a lower capacity than the source disk, you need to go into the disk manager and shrink each partition on the source disk before restoring." Doesnt apply here.
http://benchmarkreviews.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=439&Itemid=38&limit=1&limitstart=4
for 0x80042403 says "The solution is really quite simple: the destination drive is of a lower capacity than the image's source drive." I cant see that here.
Thank you so much.

Hello,
1. While recovering the OS to the new Hard disk, please don't keep the original boot disk attached to the System. There is a Disk signature for each hard disk. The signature will collide if the original boot disk signature is assigned to the new disk.
You may attach the older disk after recovering the OS. If you want to recover data to the older disk then they should be attached as they were during backup.
2. Make sure that the new boot disk is attached as the First Boot disk in hardware (IDE/SATA port 0/master) and is the first disk in boot order priority.
3. In Windows Recovery Env (WinRE) check the Boot disk using: Cmd prompt -> Diskpart.exe -> Select Disk = System. This will show the disk where OS restore will be attempted. If the disk is different than the intended 2 TB disk then swap the disks in
correct order in the hardware.
4. Please make sure that the OS is always recovered to the System disk. (Due to an issue: BMR might recover the OS to some other disk if System disk is small in size. Here the OS won't boot. If you belive this is the case, then you should attach the
bigger sized disk as System disk and/or exclude other disks from recovery). Disk exclusion is provided in System Image Restore/Complete PC Restore UI/cmdline.
5. Make sure that Number and Size of disks during restore match the backup config. Apart from boot volumes, some other volumes are also considered critical if there are services/roles installed on them. These disks will be marked critical for recovery and
should be present with minimum size requirement.
6. Some other requirements are discussed in following newsgroup threads:

I've got a system 7.1 folder that contains a disk tools.image how can i put this on a floppy disk?

I got myself a PowerBook 165 that has a moved file in the system folder thats stopping it from booting up. I downloaded a system 7 disk tools.image off the internet but the only thing is that I don't know what to do know. I got a usb floppy drive that I use sometimes for my pc stuff but sice mac os 10.8 dosn't have support for HFS I can't copy the image on to the disk. I also have a imac from 2000 that can read HFS files and write them but when ever i try and use disk utility to copy the image over to the floppy disk it always gives me an error. Can someone please help me? I really want my PowerBook to work again.

Was that on the G3 iMac, under Mac OS 9.2 or 10.4?
Is StuffIt Expander installed and active? If so, you could check whether the StuffIt Expander preferences are set to mount images (choose not to instead).
Anyway, download the Network Access Disk 7.5 file (preferably when the machine is running Mac OS 9.2). Use StuffIt Expander to decode the MacBinary (.bin). The self-expanding archive (.sea) will probably open automatically (otherwise, double-click on the .sea file). Locate a Network Access.image file inside the resulting Network Access folder.
Now, try Disk Copy 4.2 under Mac OS 9.2. Do not double-click on the image file. Instead, launch the Disk Copy (4.2) program. Choose to Load Image File, and select and open the Network Access.image. Then, click on the Make A Copy button. It may or may not be possible to create a floppy this way through a USB drive.
If Disk Copy 4.2 does not work, try Disk Copy 6.3.3 (Mount Image under the Image menu) with the Network Access.image file. The mounted image will be called Network Access. Insert a floppy in the USB drive before you choose Make a Floppy from the Utilities menu in Disk Copy 6.3.3.
If the above does not work, again mount the Network Access.image file using Disk Copy 6.3.3. Open the mounted image (Network Access). Inside is a System Folder. Open this System Folder and remove all files from the three folders Apple Menu Items, Control Panels and Extensions (throw them into the Wastebasket/Trash, do not forget to empty the Wastebasket/Trash). The size of the System Folder is now somewhat smaller. Try to drag-copy the System Folder onto an empty (freshly Mac-formatted) 1.44 MB floppy disk in the USB drive. This may or may not work.
Otherwise, you may want to test the Mac OS X dd procedure (the LowEndMac article).
Alternatively, you may want to use an old Windows PC with a built-in floppy drive (and Aladdin/StuffIt Expander and WinImage).

Floppy Disk Drive for Mavericks

Hello
Does anyone know of an FDD for a mavericks mac? I would like to create boot disks for an old mac. Is this a good method to consider? I am not sure how else to go about this. If there is an alternative, whatever it might be, please let me know.
I apologise for posting here but this relates to older machines in a way.
Thanks in advance.

The original system for a PowerBook 2400c/180 was 7.6.1. Other supported systems (according to Apple's technical specifications) were 8, 8.1, 8.5, 8.6 and 9. You would need to purchase an appropriate Apple system CD. Ensure that it is a retail disc (for all models), not a disc for a certain (other) machine.
You can use one of the Apple CD-ROM drives above, providing that you have the proper HDI-30 cable. See the manual for details about connecting SCSI devices and about booting from a CD.
If necessary, and if the already installed operating system is working (and you can navigate the Japanese menus), you should at least be able to create a Disk Tools PPC floppy on the PowerBook. Use the Disk Copy 6.3.3 program (the Make a Floppy command under the Utilities menu) for this. I assume that you have the external floppy disk drive for the PowerBook.
www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_8.1_Update/Disk_Tools_PPC.img.bin
http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/Utilities/Disk_Copy/Disk_Copy_6.3.3.smi.bin
One may also want to try to modify a Disk Tools PPC to hold CD-ROM software, thus allowing a CD to be read when the computer is running from the floppy disk system.
Additionally, since the computer in question has PC Card slots, an inexpensive PC Card adapter for CompactFlash and a CompactFlash memory card can be very useful for file transfers. In certain PowerBook models, such a CompactFlash card (reformatted to Mac) can even act as a startup disk (if it has an appropriate system folder).

External floppy disk drives for the new iMac?

I'm trying to move a whole slew of files I created on a Macintosh from a longtime back--the original Mac--and they are all saved on floppy disks. I recently bought a Sony MPF88E not knowing it didn't work with the new Leopard OS. Are there any external floppy drives out there that do work with the new OS?

Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions.
I just dug out my +TEAC FD-05PUB+ (which I originally bought for an iMac DV running OS 9.0.4!). It works fine* on my Aluminium Intel iMac 2.8GHz.
I'm not sure why the Sony wouldn't work. Does it appear in System Profiler and/or Disk Utility?

Looking for a disk management tools in JAVA

Hi everybody,
I am currently looking for tools or APIs designed for disk management. I explain : I would like to defrag or format a microSD card with Java code.
Is it possible since the way to get access to the memory card depends on the underlying OS. I know that the really defrag or format action is OS-independent, but filesystem type dependent.
Can you help me please ?
Thanks in advance.
Oliwood

These are system level, platform dependent actions and not the sort of thing Java is made for. If you search hard enough (read Google) you may find these types of tools using JNI for specific platforms, but I wouldn't count on it.
