It's been a while since I used MSWorks on OS9 but you might be able to save the MSWorks documents as rtf files which can then be imported into Office for OSX.

Sometimes a question comes up about problems in upgrading an iBook G3 dual usb cdrom drive to a dvd drive. Here is what I've found to work. The iBook G3 dual usb has the cdrom connected as a slave drive and the hard disk is connected as a master drive. If you have a master dvd drive and...

Seeing that Steve Jobs isn't stupid and he is a Unix type of guy (brought Unix to Next and Apple) OSX is here to stay while Steve is around. If he ever leaves Apple who knows what will happen.

I have osx 10.3.9 running on a 450mhz powermac with 512mb of memory and it runs very well. I use it for digital audio recording and processing using M-Audio pci audio cards. Memory is important for OSX. I would recommend at least 256mb or over.

I've had similar problems but with codewarrior on OS9. Some of my larger source code files made codewarrior hang and it wasn't a memory problem. If your not really tied down to using codewarrior I'd suggest trying to move to Xcode which is quite good.

XP booting on an Intel Mac is available now but has limited XP drivers. http://download.onmac.net/

The Terminal program is in the Application Utilities folder. When you start the terminal a console appears and it's very similar to the Linux console so if you want to learn some more about it there are stacks of Linux console tutorials on the net. For instance if I type gcc -v and then...

If you double click on the hqx file the stuffit installer should appear and then you can install stuffit expander. The .sit files are the mac equivalents of zip or rar files on the PC. You need stuffit expander to decompress .sit files.

msi files are microsoft windows installer files.

Well you install XCode and then create a project using your source files then compile them and you can also use gcc from the terminal to compile but doing it this way is probably only a good idea for linux or bsd source code porting.

You could zip the mp3 files using stuffit on osx and then unzip them on xp or whatever.

Seems like MacOS 8.6 and the USB Mass Storage Support Version 1.3.5 are needed for things like flash drives. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=60394 http://www.maccpu.com/macusb.html

Apple DVD Player 1.3 is included with OS9.2.2 but I do know how to get Apple DVD Player 1.2 which is basically the same thing. Download the MacOS 8.6 update...

According to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB_mass_storage_device_class MacOS 8.5.1 supports mass storage usb devices like flash drives. If you are running MacOS 8.5 upgrade to MacOS 8.5.1 at http://www.download.com/Apple-Mac-OS-Update-8-5-1/3000-2283_4-900946.html And if it still...

I've found a python script that can do music file transfers to the iPod Shuffle with no need for iTunes. It was for OSX and Windows only but I have made changes so it also works with OS9. Basically once the iPod Shuffle mounts you just drag your music files onto it and then run a small...

I've already posted a thread on a DVD to CD OSX Install Disc Conversion yesterday. The thread is called DVD to CD OSX Install Disc. I suppose it's legal if you do it as a backup for the original computer.

I made a Panther Install CD from a Panther Install DVD using hdiutil on a G4 ibook. Login as root on the Mac with the DVD. Make a read write image of the DVD Install Disc then eject the DVD and mount the image and then just keep the base install packages on the image so the image will burn...
