AppleCare/Helps
  • "I have a Power Mac 7600 which I use for a variety of formats and devices including zip disks and floppy disks. It seems to me that getting an old 7600 or its nearest relatives is far easier and less costly than trying to make a more modern machine do ancient tasks. The 7600 has ethernet built in. However, you need an Ethernet 10/100 hub to convert the 10Mbit 7600 ethernet to 100Mbit compatibility. Many current ethernet hubs/switches will recognize 100Mbit but not 10Mbit. There is a program from OWC that allows the 7600 to run OS9, and it works well for my old 7600. I find the 7600 to be a useful machine that I use infrequently to read old QuickTake and Kodak camera files, DiskDoubler files, and other items. I have mostly converted my archives onto my server with updated file formats, but probably not all." MacInTouch 10:27 AM
