Power Mac 5260/100 Open Transport

I can't get Open Transport to work on my Power Mac 5260/100 with 64 MB of RAM running Mac OS 9.1. I have the TCP/IP control panel set to get the IP address using DHCP using the Farallon LC PDS EtherMac NSC 10-Base T ethernet card & I checked use 802.3 framing. I have also installed the TCP/IP Options control panel & I checked all three check boxes. I also upgraded Open Transport to 2.7.6. What do I need to do to get my Mac online?

No. I haven't configured the AppleTalk control panel. The only thing I've ever used AppleTalk for is to print to my Personal LaserWriter NTR over LocalTalk. I managed to get Open Transport working in Mac OS 8.6 but I forget what exactly I did to get it working. It worked for a while with the Apple PDS Ethernet card driver & then it stopped working. I remember I had to install the TCP/IP Options control panel & check Disable MTU IP Path Discovery to get it working. I also had to install the latest version of Apple's Remote Access Client. Before upgrading to Mac OS 9.1 I did a clean reinstall of Mac OS 8.6 but I've kind of forgotten what exactly else I did to get online. I've never used the Farallon drivers & I'm not sure if I trust the installer either since it installs a outdated version of the EtherTalk Phase 2 extension.

  • Power Mac 5260/100 System CD

    I found a eBay store selling what appears to be a Power Mac 5260/120 System CD containing Mac OS 7.5.3. Would this System CD also be compatible with a Power Mac 5260/100 by any chance? I'm asking because I happen to own a Power Mac 5260/100 I bought second hand off eBay.

    I would think that there is a high probability it would work. If it's not too expensive, it's worth the chance of buying.

  • Power Mac 5260/100 Won't Start

    I just noticed recently that my Power Mac 5260/100 won't startup anymore. I just recently replaced the PRAM battery since according to my dad's mulit-meter it was dead. The Power Mac 5260/100 doesn't even get as far as the bonging stage in the startup process. Does this mean I have a dead logic board or bad RAM? I'd be willing to replace the logic board since I have a brand new Apple TV/Video System installed that I payed a lot of money on eBay for (it came unopened when I got it so I know those components didn't fail). I also use it for old games and would like to know if I'll be able to in the future too.

    I wouldn't give up yet. The CUDA reset and PRAM battery are "first responders" when it comes to "mostly dead" Macs, so we always start there.
    When you attempt a start, can you hear anything? Fans? Hard drive?
    Have you tried booting from a CD with a valid system? Utility CDs allow this if they are bootable. My TechTools 3 CD boots into the highest OS the computer will support (up to 9.2.2). It's amusing to see a 6100 or 6200 display the OS9 logo. I had to run utilities every few days on my 6200/75 to keep it limping along.
    Checked everything inside for solid connections?
    I think that one has the "tray type" logic board with scores of connectors along one edge. Those must be clean and seated.
    Some in this series have a plastic bridle arrangement for the rear of the CD-ROM that can flex and lose contact. Check/clean it if present.
    I believe this computer uses "soft power." Have you tried a different keyboard, or tried using the backup power button?
    There were "known hardware issues" with this and similar Mac models. Review that article and this one (includes a logic board diagram). The second link has links to hardware testers if you get it running. The extended warranty period ended in July 2003(?), however.

  • System 8 for Power Mac 7500/100 on CD

    My harddisk died and I have seem to lost my system CD as well.
    Is there anybody who can provide me with a CD with system 8, I can't download from the internet (computer won't start up) so CD has to be mailed by post to the Netherlands.
    Thanks

    Hello Rob,
    You will find a disk image of a bootable Disk Tools PPC floppy here. With access to another Mac with a built-in floppy drive, use StuffIt Expander to decode the downloaded .bin file (if applicable, set the StuffIt Expander preferences NOT to mount disk images). Then use the Make a Floppy command (under the Utilities menu) in Disk Copy 6.3.3 to produce a sector-copied floppy disk. This diskette should at least make a proper startup of the Power Macintosh 7500/100 possible. You may thus be able to inspect and perhaps correct the contents of the hard disk.
    Through the use of special techniques it is also possible to modify a tools floppy to hold a different disk utility (such as Apple HD SC Setup 7.3.5 here) or a CD-ROM extension (like Apple CD-ROM 5.4 here, and various helper files).

  • Power Mac 7500/100 (G3) -networking wireless/either net 2 iMac...

    I got a iMac Intel Duo (2006) OS 10.6.5 & I'm trying to get my PMac 7500/100-G3 (upgrade) OS 9.1 to talk to each other by eithernet or a wireless network for simple file sharing & transfer. Is there a way to do that? I do have a Eithernet Hud thet they are both hooked up to. So far I have not found a way and I just transfer files via:
    PMac 7500 - USB > Thimb Drive < USB - iMac.
    Soon to get my PMac G5 up and going with the same problem...

    OSX.4.x lost the file transfer ability of Appletalk... 10.1.5 thru 10.3.9 had it!
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=301183
    With OS9 set with Appletalk to using TCP/IP, and or Chooser>AppleShare+IP, you can connect to a 10.4 or some later OSes machine.
    "Mac OS X 10.4 and later don't support Personal File Sharing (or other AFP) over Appletalk, though by initiating the connection from the opposite direction you could still achieve an IP connection from a Mac OS 8 computer to a sharing Mac OS X computer. The Network preference pane in Mac OS X 10.4 and later still offers the AppleTalk checkbox, but it is for browsing AppleTalk-advertised resources and zones. The subsequent connection must be over TCP/IP."

  • I am a power user with 100 open URLs and need a way to grep open tabs by a part of the URL. I can create an add-on if the open URLs are exposed.

    I imagine I could query an sqlite3 table for open windows but don't know the details for what is available. I trust firefox to always be able to open a previous session that I use open windows as sort of a task list. Duplication of information is futile.

    I actually think the default single session storage is a bit fragile. Do you use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/ Session Manager] extension or [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ Tab Mix Plus] to provide greater depth?
    The "Switch to Tab" feature of the address bar provides some of the functionality you want. However, the fact that it shows "Switch to Tab" rather than the address on that tab makes it hard to see if it's the one you want.
    If you want to build your own add-on, here are a couple that might serve as a starting point or resource for understanding how to work with tabs in Firefox. I haven't tried them myself. (MPL licensed for code re-use.)

    For your addressbook, export the files to vCard on the PowerMac, then bring them over to your Mac Pro. For your iPhoto, copy the Users -> yourname -> Pictures folder to your Desktop on the Mac Pro, and open iPhoto on the Mac Pro holding the command and option keys.  Select the library file from that Pictures folder and open it.  It should import all the pictures into iPhoto as part of the rebuild process.  Other PowerPC to Intel migration issues are covered here: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-2295

    can you help my apple power mac g5 desktop is truning its self off when ever i try openning a page.or going online.it had recently been updated with os x 10.5.8

    Hello,
    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
    Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

  • Power Mac G5 DP 1.8, won't to enter in Open Firmware, and no OF comm. exec.

    Hi Guys,
    It seems to strange but my Power Mac G5 DP 1.8 Ghz, cannot enter in the OF and no commands are accepted by the OF (like boot from cd pressing C, or reset Pram, or everything else)
    I'm not sure but probably after the last upgrade ( november 2004 if i remember well) but i'm not sure.
    i try all this things:
    1) reset SMU by disconnect the power cord for 15 minutes
    2) change the Keyboard
    3) delete the Password for OF (but didn't sets up)
    4) i use the cd with the Apple test, but all is reported as good
    The problem is affecting also the sleep mode, when my Mac go to sleep there're no way to wake up !!!, i can only force the power off.
    HELP !!!
    I'm alone with this problem on G5 DP 1.8 ??
    I see many post regarding problem on G5, but i see only on a SP 1.8 !!!
    Anyone have idea ?
    thx
    Fabio

    Sorry, i miss some info,
    when you press the key on the keyboard nothing happen, and one thing strange are 3 "stock" of noising sound immediately after the white screen with the apple appear on the screen.
    After the boot everythings are good, the system is stable, is fast,and the sound is nice.
    Nothing could thing to a problem, if i wont to start with another disk or from a cd, the only way is to chose it from the system preferences.
    Also the sound volume is "saved" in the pram,so if i shutdown the Mac with no sound, when the mac start the sound is at level 0, so the pram is working good.

  • I have a Power Mac G4 running Tiger that will not open Classic 9.1

    I have an old Power Mac G4 Running OSX 10.4.11 that would run Classic 9.1. I haven't used the computer in a long time, but am trying now, and Classic will not start. I get no alerts, besides one that says "You have Mac OS 9.1 Installed. It's recommended that you upgrade to Mac OS 9.2" With "OK" as the only option. Afterwards it just goes to the start up screen for Classic and the blue bar doesn't move, but flickers. I have tried restarting, and all extensions are off. I don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions??

    You'll need to copy these files onto your computer in Mac OS 9 to be able to extract the 9.2.1 update, install it, and then the 9.2.2 update and install it:

  • How do I Connect both an iBook and Power Mac G5 to Windows XP Pro network?

    I have an existing Windows network at home, with a Motorola Surfborad Cable Modem, Linksys Wired Cable/DSL VPN Router with 5-port 10/100 switch (BEFVP41), Linksys Wireless G Access Point (WAP54G), Linksys Etherfast 10/100 Workgroup Switches (EZXS55W v3) and several connected devices including: two Windows Desktops (wired), a Humax TiVo (wireless), Two (2) SlimDevice Squeezeboxes (wireless), and a Microsoft X-Box game system.
    For some reason, I cannot successfully connect either a Power Mac G5 (wired) or an iBook (wireless) to the newtork and internet. In both cases, if I attempt to connect them, the router does appear to see them, but I can't get connection to the Internet.
    Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
    I have disconnected all the other connected devices and tried to connect them with no results.
    Re-starting the cable modem, router or WAP didn't help.
    If I connect one of the Windows PC's to the same cable I have tried unsuccessfully with the Power Mac, The Windows PC connects to both the Network and Internet immediately!
    Additionally, I have checked out the entire wiring system, which are Cat5E cables. This included re-checking all connectors and testing each wire run. All cables are "straight through" with no opens, shorts or cross0overs.
    I am sure that I am doing something wrong and that there is an "easy fix", but it's beyond my meager knowledge.
    If someone can supply me with "Step by Step", detailed instructions on how to accomplish this, please help me.

    Hi Gordy,
    Well, that's certainly some setup you've got there.
    Also, if I try to access either the Router or the WAP via their respective Access URL's: http://10.0.1.1/ & http://10.0.1.2/ nothing happens.
    I'm not sure about those URL's. Plug your PowerMac into the router , then launch Safari and type 192.168.1.100 in the address bar it should allow you to access the routers settings via the web-based utility. Please check and see if that much that works and post back.

  • Power Mac G4 (FW800) freezes often, with an occasional kernel panic

    I recently purchased a Power Mac G4 (FW800) on eBay for $160, minus a hard drive and stock video card, along with a hard drive cage.
    Since I opened the box it came in late Saturday night, the lovely machine has constantly stalled, crashed, and for a while, I received kernel panics left and right-in fact, I had one today, but it was the text version (unlike the visual kernel panic, which is the kernel panic seen in OS X 10.2+, and I have 10.4.11 running on this machine).
    Often, if I multitask, import music on iTunes, or do intense activity, it freezes.
    To solve the problem, I have done multiple memory tests, have performed disk checks (verified disk permissions and have verified the disk itself, and have done repairs on the disk), have swapped RAM for more stable ram (I was getting a RAM error for a while with some generic RAM).
    I would hate to sell the machine for parts, but if worse comes to worse, that may be the route I may go under. Is there anything I could do to avoid having to go that route? From the inside, all of the motherboard capacitors look fine, but I haven't checked the graphics card yet, but I doubt that's the culprit. I want to see if I could push my luck with Apple sending the AHT for the Power Mac, since I can't find any on eBay, but I'm working with a vintage Mac here, and this is New York, so my luck may be out.
    Interesting, I installed iStat, and it has been giving me misleading readings. It says my CPU is at over 1000ºC, when I know through Temperature Monitor that the CPU is around 100º-110ºF and rarely goes above 115ºF.
    There are some things I haven't tried yet:
    1) Buying actual 2.5v RAM. That may hopefully be the key.
    2) Removing the USB card I put in, along with my Broadcom-equipped Belkin Wi-Fi card I put in.
    3) Calling Apple and begging them to send me a copy of the AHT for the Power Mac, and with that, hopefully, a copy of the system software.
    Any suggestions? Comments? If need be, I'll post the system/crash logs for you hardware junkies.
    System stats:
    Power Mac G4 (FW800)
    1.0GHz PowerPC G4 on a 133MHz bus
    1GB PC2100 DDR SDRAM (originally had some PC3200 in the machine).
    120GB Seagate HD
    Stock Phillips CD-RW/DVD-ROM Combo
    Pioneer DVD-111D (the nice DVD burner I cannibalized off my beautiful homebuilt Wine-doze PC)
    Belkin 54g 802.11g Wi-Fi card
    Masscool XWT-MTU25 USB 2.0 card
    So far, I have removed iStat, have gone ahead and pulled out the USB card. We'll keep fingers crossed.

    Did both, and I still freeze up when importing iTunes songs. I'll include some kernel panic logs for reference, for you techies.
