Where have you been torvan? Napping?
A bit of light-hearted mirth, always appreciated.

And thanks PT5LEG! Kinda fun video - but we're “masochistic”?
(Well maybe just a wee bit of self-flagellation, on occasion.)😉

We might have noticed zero references to MacOS9Lives
but it’s nice to see one’s work, however briefly on screen.
@eight minutes and 6 seconds in. (Don’t blink, you’ll miss it.)



Another lost, site bookmark https://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?topic=4088.msg28011#msg28011 covering capacitor replacement in an MDD AcBel PSU from 2017. And of course, someone just posted to the BadCaps.net’s PSU eight page thread, looking for a schematic.

*Page one begins here: https://www.badcaps.net/forum/troubleshooting-hardware-devices-and-electronics-theory/troubleshooting-power-supplies-and-power-supply-design/12980-suspect-bad-ps-apple-acbel-api-1pc36?t=14077 So get out your cat o' nine tails and strap yourself up.

Macintosh Garden did however receive a mention:



Maybe a little blurb over on Macintosh Garden’s opening page would steer more traffic here and to System 7 Today?
AND perhaps similar on the header / footer here for System 7 Today & Macintosh Garden… as we’re all one big happy family now? ::)

Many swore off of using Norton soon after the arrival of OS X and some (moi) still use it exclusively on OS 9 partitions, drives, etc.

Hear! Hear!

And if you check the “Diagnostic CD Images & TechTools” download area here: http://macos9lives.com/smforum/index.php?board=33.0 / there are two versions of “Mactron’s Bootable Rescue CD & Disk Repair” that both contain a usable version of Norton. (As well as Drive Setup 2.1 - I believe.)

There are also many specific versions of AHT there in that download area as well. ;)

Nah, we are not Masochists.  We are instead tinkers.  It is not painful to use our PPC Macs, it is instead a joy.

Yee-ikes!

Maybe run Apple Hardware Test… if available for whatever machine you’re working with.

Okay, for me I have this to say:

I am not on the web all that much anymore, or on any of my comptuers but once in a week or so. I have found myself spending way too much time on the web and not doing things like the housework, reading, walking the dog, or any of the other things in life.

So that is why you also do not see me commenting or reading things here. It is not from a lack of interest, it is from the "I need a life other than the Internet."

Usually, I could always get Disk Doctor to repair and report a-OK, but then eventually back to same errors.
Often ended up just reformatting with Drive Setup 2.1 and then clean installing OS 9.2.2.

But running AHT (if possible) can help identify other possible problems. Best of luck.

after norton found the error, it crashed. twice...

i said "eff it" and am converting everything over to a single ssd. take the 3 heat generating drives out and leave the single ssd in.
should be faster and hopefully kill my boot time in half. before with the hdd it would take about 2 min to boot into os 9. been like that since i installed the drives. so maybe this will fix it all    *fingers crossed*
