To Mac or not to Mac?What ho, pre-pressers! Long time no post, or view, come to that. No
doubt some of you will remember me as I see that many of same crowd are
**STILL** here after all these years. Grettings to Aandi, Ted, Lee,
Allen...well, to you all, not forgetting Mr Shagnasty, who I am
gratified can still find something to say after all this time.
Right, greetings over, down to brass tacks. My early retirement plan has
sadly fallen through and I find myself back at the coal face possessed
of some pretty antideluvian equipment with which to earn a crust for the
Tree family. So I'm looking for **SE...
When is a Mac not a Mac?This was posted in a forum recently and I thought it brought up some
very interesting points relating to the Eula. For reference:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=105546
------
This question is related to licensing OS X on a machine. The EULA says
it has to be an Apple computer, before the Apple License will apply,
which means Apple will only support OS X on Apple machines. So, I'm
wondering, when is a machine considered an Apple Mac, for the purposes
of Licensing and recieving support? Say I buy a Mac from Apple. Then the
hard drive fails, and I replace that with an ...
Mac to macI just remembered these groups and wondered if someone here could tell
me whether what I'd like to do is possible. (NO ONE around here knows
anything about Macs)
I have a G4 that was the top of the line in 1998. It will die one of
these days. It's currently running OS 9.2.2. Someone else(who now lives
far away) installed the internal modem, SCSI for my scanner, and my
floppy drive (so I didn't have to go through hundreds of them for the
bits and pieces I might someday want again). I still have the floppies
and a number of Zips, all of which this computer can read.

MAC to MAC connectivityHi,
As part of a design that I'm investigating, I am looking at connecting
a number of FPGA based MACs to a dedicated broadcom switch chip. The
difficulty with this is that to interface both chips, I need to have
two closely coupled and redundant PHY .
Is it possible to connect two MAC (SGMII) directly point-to-point,
bypassing the PHY completely? Or is it necessary to have at least some
PHY functionality, even if it is a point to point link?
Kind regards,
Stephen

Help! iSync mac to macAm I right in saying that with iSync, if you want to sync 2 macs
together (address book, iCal etc.) the only way to do this is via a
..Mac account, even if those computers are sitting not 5 feet from each
other, both Airport equipped? If this is the case, I've never heard
anything so ridiculous. Is this just part of another apple scam to get
more money out of us?
Does anyone know if this is indeed the case, and can you recommend any
other sync software out there?

Phyless MAC to MAC connectionI am on a project where we have an ethernet interface between an MPC8270
with a Wintegra 787 using a phyless MAC-to-MAC connection. On the MPC8270 we
are using an FCC for this. I am using VxWorks 5.5 for this project. Can
anyone tell me if I need to change VxWorks End Driver to make this happen.
From what I understand currently, when the End Driver is initialized there
is no initialization string which can indicate that there is no PHY out
there.
Has anyone implemented this before?
Thanks,

It's a Mac, Mac, Mac WorldI wonder how the Windows users would like my (ab)normal Microsoft-free
world:
My business: all Mac, no PCs. My dentist, family physician and
urologist are all Mac. No PCs.
Went to Sir Speedy today for more bus. cards and some binding: all Mac
(no surprise there).
My daughter's three new college room mates have emailed her. Two have
PowerBooks and one has an eMac. (She has a G5 iMac.)
I never even see a PC unless I am at the public library or a store using
a Windows POS unit.
It never was intentional. I don't scout a place to see what frickin'
computer they use. Jus...
bmp-mac, mac and xmms-mac portsHello,
I can't find these in the ports collections, so i've downloaded and compiled
mac and xmms-mac successfully and have confirmed that they work on FreeBSD.
I was looking for an APE (Monkey Audio) plug-in for XMMS in the ports
collection but wasn't able to find one.
I had a bit of trouble with compiling xmms-mac to start off with.
The compilation would fail with the following:
g++ -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/xmms -I/usr/local/include/gtk12 -I/usr/local/include/glib12 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -s -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DBUILD_CROSS_PLATFORM -g -O2 -o

However i've managed to fix this by deleting the extracts files,
re-extracting the files again, adding -lpthread to the configure.in file
and then running autoconf to regenerate the configure script before
compiling.

Mac-to-Mac VPN?Years ago, I set up a Mac network (under OS9) with a VPN router and some
software on a remote PowerBook that allowed VPN access. I'm not terribly
familiar with OSX yet, but I understand that much of this functionality
is now built in. Can anybody steer me in the right direction as far as
hardware, software and configuration? Here's the setup I envision:

dial-up, DSL (wired), and AirPort.

Mac to MAc FirewireHey all
Looking for some help.
I am trying to use a 6-6pin 1394 cable to connect two iBooks together and

iBook 1 dual USB 'white' iBook OS 9.2
iBook 2 G4 OSx 10.2
I boot iBook 1 into 'target drive' mode and get the firewire icon dancing

but the drive does not appear on the desktop. I have tried all combinations
of rebooting/ connecting before and after rebooting
but nothing seams to work.
When the firewire is plugged in the target disk makes a short noise then

When is a Mac no longer a Mac? OK, so Apple's going to go to Intel CPUs. Now Macs are no longer
differentiated by a slow clock and superior instruction set--we've got
the same hackjob clusterfuck on speed PCs have been using for decades
now. And over the last few years Apple's gone away from SCSI, NuBus,
ADB, Localtalk, etc. And PCs have picked up USB, dropped floppies, and
colored their cases. The hardware's basically merging between the two
platforms.
On the software side, the classic MacOS is gone, replaced by Unixy
stuff. And like it or not, higher up on the UI level lots of

MAC to MAC over InternetHi All,
First I will tell you that I am not a MAC user or owner so please be
patient :)
I have a friend who runs a small business and they have two MAC
computers in the office that are networked together and share files.
The main MAC has approx 20,000 files that they share and update.
One of the people will be moving away and they want to be able to
connect over the Internet to the main MAC and share the files just
like they do in the office today. They need to be able to have the
master files on the main MAC in the office and allow the other person
to easily access and update the master ...

Put an ethernet cable between them, enable tcp/ip and file sharing on
one and log on from the other, seems to be what you are asking for? And
you do not need a cross-over cable between modern Macs.

Looking for used MAC system to learn MACsHello,
I am looking for recommendations for a used MAC system that I can
use to learn MACs. I have used Unix and Linux for the past 20 years,
but I'd like to understand a little more about how they work. I have
been looking at some used G4 and G5 systems, but not sure if these
will be lame ducks. I would like to kick around at the prompt level
to see how different it is from a normal Unix system , but I'd like to
learn some of the apps and gui stuff too so I don't look like an idiot
to friends. Any recommendations or help is welcomed. Thanks.
Snoopy.

Anyone got Mac classic Mac emulation running well on their Intel Mac?Despite switching to DOSBox and VMware's Fusion with WinXP to handle my
classic gaming needs, there are still a bunch of classic MacOS games I'm
desperate to run on my Intel Mac.
I've tried and failed to get Ballisk and SheepShaver running. Mini vMac
runs but has a nasty, nasty habbit of corrupting disk images opened in
both it and OSX.
*sigh*
Has anyone had any sucess? Why is classic Mac emulation so way behind
other emulation efforts? With Amiga emulation running it's surprising
classic Mac emulation is so far behind :-(

Mac - toI've got the Msdros remote desktop that works OK.
What I'd like to do, though, is to have a remote desktop from my iBook

What program do I have to use to log in to my G5 from my iBook so that
I can, through wi-fi, control iTunes, play DVDs, and run terminal on
the G5 on the iBook?

WakeOnLAN Mac to Mac over the net?My mother's trusty 4+ year old iMac G5 is starting to have heat issues

Moving a User from Mac to Mac...
I currently have two old Macs...let's call them my MAIN Mac (a G4
running Tiger) and my OTHER Mac (early Intel iMac also running Tiger).
And, I'm about to purchase a NEW Mac. (3 Macs...MAIN, OTHER and NEW)
What I'd like to do is move virtually everything (user accounts,
applications, settings, documents, etc.) from my current MAIN Mac to my
NEW Mac. I've never actually done this before, but I believe, on
initial install of the NEW Mac, the Mac OS actually asks if you want to
do just this.
