Hello folks, last night I started up my turquoise iMac, twice, and both times it froze before extensions started loading up. I've attached a screen capture.

I know someone in my area who might be able to do something about it, but he just rose my IIcx from its coma, free of charge, so I figured I'd ask here to see if this might be a simple fix.

Thank you guys.

Update - Managed to work this all out - another case of RTFM

 

Check the link that @joevt posted of his GitHub repository. All folders with ROMs have nice names noting the OS installs that the ROMs came with.

just checked my macosrom on this macos9.0 partition, and it says macosrom 3.0 dated september 27 1999 - thats after i upgraded from 8.6 to 9.0

forgot the name of this app must be losing brain cells lol

on my 8.6 partition i believe its got macosrom 1.6 which, after installing up to os9.1 brought it to version 6.1? (and rendered the partition unbootable on this machine for wahtever reason)

Hi all,

I have been able to successfully install and authorise Trilogy, Atmosphere & Stylus

But where do I  place the Spectrasonics .dat files?

Using Cubase vst (os9 diehard version)

Thank you,

I have these intact, with resource forks. If anyone needs any, you know the drill.

10.2.1
10.1.1
9.7.1
9.6.1
9.3.1
9.2.1
8.7

As far as I know, 8.7 is the first Mac OS ROM file for 9.2.2 and 10.2.1 is the last Mac OS ROM file for 9.2.2.

The Mac OS ROM files (for New World Macs) in that repository are missing resource forks so they're kind of useless unless you want to look at just the ROM data using tbxi

Instead of guessing, I'd suggest re-reading old xlr8yourmac website. There are tons of information there.

Also, @chrisNova777, make sure that your burned install CDs do not have any virus. You never know ..
I've got infected last year by some file downloaded from here, and, on the only other occasion when my Mac got infected by a worm (?) from pressed CD that came with musician's mag, it crashed badly and refused to boot. Just like yours.

according to the numbering of the slots.. it would seem that the ram is intended to be installed in matched pairs, the two outer slots are one channel and the two inner slots are another channel, if its dual channel memory thats how the G5 memory has to be populated... i didnt know the mdd was the same way but according to that number scheme that would be what that means to me logically from lookin at it

No totally different, not necessary to install in pairs, however AFAIR the MDD supported Memory Interleaving, so in theory, you should get better performance with matching pairs; neither configuration should introduce errors; also, it's a good idea to hit each slot with a crazy amount on canned electronic cleaner and also inspect tiny RAM claws to find any stuck any not sitting at the optimal height

Thanks Chris, I hadn’t considered that. It does seem to be working stable at present (even with all of the mis-matched RAM and the 256 MB stick now added in the J20 slot).

Seems that info about this is currently sparse and even posts in the “Apple Community” vary on the use of 1 GB sticks in the MDD. AND Google’s AI results seem to offer a bit of conflicting / confusing info about 1 GB RAM.

First, from the Apple Community (and Japamac’s response).

Then… three different current screenshots from Google’s AI - also attached below.

*I really believe that the J20 slot has expanded over time.
