Unsupported System Software on the PowerBook 500 Series
http://seth.mattinen.org/notes.php?id=2
Unsupported System Software on the PowerBook 500 Series. Normally, the MacOS 8.6, 8.5, and 9.0 installers refuses to run on the PowerBook 500 series, even with a PPC upgrade card. Luckily, you can use a small gestalt trick to get the installer to run. Here, I'm only going to cover the PowerBook 500 series, since that's what I have. Try and get as much RAM as possible when running these newer versions of the MacOS. Modules for the 500 series are still sold at places such as Ramjet. Other Sites of Interest.

Cisco IOS IP Masquerade (NAT Overload). Running network address translation (NAT) on a Cisco router is actually quite simple; this page only covers the "overload" method. Doing this requires a few things:. A Cisco rouer with IOS that supports NAT ( IOS Reference. Basic knowledge of how to use a Cisco router with the command line. A functional network (duh). At least two network interfaces (one public, one private). You can get Cisco routers for a pretty good price off of eBay. Set up NAT in overload mode.

MacOS X on Unsupported (Legacy) Macs. I have some old PowerPC Macs; the kind that predates the first G3 from Apple. In fact, these old Macs come from a company that was bought out and shut down by Apple. Give up? They're Power Computing clones. I have a PowerCenter Pro 240, PowerCenter 120, and PowerCurve 601 120. Sadly, these poor Mac clones won't run anything past MacOS 9.1, and I think the last "supported" version is 8.6. But today, thanks to a nifty little utility called XPostFacto. ATI XClaim VR Vid...

There's some good pages and books out there with wiring information, but here's a few good ones I've found useful. Http:/ www.derose.net/steve/guides/wiring/. Http:/ www.sustworks.com/site/ipr guide/ethernet basics.htm. So you want to do your own wiring, do you? It's really not that hard. To get started, here's a list I wish I had when I first started:. A punchdown tool with 110 and 66 blades. RJ45 ends for solid and stranded cable. Crimp tool that accepts RJ45 and RJ10. A cable tester (must have!

I don't really update this site. When I was younger I would spend hours writing stuff up, but not so much anymore. Everything gets posted over at ninjamonkey.us. These days. But you can still tour an abandoned missile silo. Learn the funky chicken. And do fun things with a microwave. For the serious visitor, there's a nifty graphic for understanding 802.11b/g "channels". A quick tutorial on Cisco IOS IP Masquerade (NAT Overload). And the Ethernet wiring guide. For old hardware, the The Mac Driver Museum.
