![]() IMO it's a sh*t technology that only was useful for a handful of years, that's all. Just like the original iMac put an end to floppy disks for Apple, the airBook put an end to CD/DVD some years back. LOL, same problem with this one, DVD-ROM failed. so I will not be able to install Mac OS 9 from a CD-ROM as I would normally doĪdespoton wrote:I got rid of mine just as the DVD-ROM drive started to fail. I'm planning on preparing the SSD drive while connecting it via USB to SheepShaver, because unforunately the DV+ iMac's internal DVD drive is broken!. How could I format a USB drive in SheepShaver and directly copy 50GB of stuff in there in 1 operation? It's long and tedious work, especially the 1GB single file limit that SheepShaver is imposing. sit a (maximum) 1GB archive, copy it to the Windows desktop via the "Computer" icon in SheepShaver, then using Windows I normally copy it to a FAT32 USB stick and then I plug it in the iMac and copy the files on the desktop and then uncompress them. Normally, when I insert a Mac formatted CD-ROM while SheepShaver is launched, it mounts on the MacOS Finder just fine, but it doesn't do that with USB sticks. I was wondering, is it possible to format a USB stick or an external USB drive using SheepShaver? I haven't found how to do that. I've been using SheepShaver for almost 5 years now and I think it's time to move some stuff over to the real machine, but I've got a lot. I am now wanting to pimp this baby up by making a huge Mac OS 9 dedicated platform, complete with 1GB of PC100 RAM and a 120GB SSD bridged onto a PATA to SATA converter AAAAND a WiFi bridge plugged into the ethernet port on the side door! Those 8MB of VRAM should be just about enough to play all games ever made for Mac OS 9 and earlier, right? By process of elimination, I've come to the conclusion it's a 450mhz DV+ from summer 2000! At first I thought it was a 400mhz DV but it's got a DVD-ROM and a 20GB hard drive, so it's definitely a DV+ ![]() Hi all! I'm a relatively new member and I recently acquired an old iMac G3 for free.
