There’s more experiments to be run on this vintage Mac, plus I just picked up a much more rare Mac… and I can’t wait to share soon! Subscribe and click the *Bell* so you don’t miss the upcoming episodes…
P.S. thanks to my patrons! You’re helping the show grow. Patreon.com/KrazyKen
i have an imac G3 from 2001 with os 9 and Tiger on it
You’re a good man, dude, I love your videos, are you ever going to fix that old Mac of yours, it would be great to see it fully functional
Dude I remember that Mac, I used it in elementary school
Funnily enough I was the only one who used that Mac in elementary school because my friend Amber had her own Mac, She was handicapped like me but she had speech problems so she had to speak through her Mac, she was actually my little girlfriend in elementary school
Hey Ken, you should try to connect the old hard drive to a modern computer and transfer the files to your computer to have a backup if you need to reinstall Mac OS.
If I remember correctly, RAM doubler uses compression in memory and also makes some virtual memory on the hard drive.
RAM Doubler on Classic MacOS would also reclaim RAM that was allocated to other apps but unused (on Classic MacOS you had to set a RAM partition for each app manually...)
Heh, the familiar names and faces you see in unexpected places.
"it just does"
Your IIci badly needs a recap.
The problems you are facing are exactly how my IIci behaves, now that it hadn't had its caps redone yet.
Yeah, I second this. The boot up issues may also be in some way related to a dead PRAM battery, but I would agree that first and foremost it has bad caps.
@@benh.635 The soft power issues on IIcx and IIci units come from the axial capacitors failing (those need to be replaced as well, not only the SMD ones).
One might think it's the power supply but these power supplys work until they completely fail (usually)
@@Halterung01 Ok, interesting. Thanks for the clarification :)
I agree mostly with the others ,.. the problems are related to bad caps on the motherboard, but the no sound issue is usually just corroded connector to the speaker, unplug it,. go over ther connector pads with a rubber pencil eraser, and some alcohol, (let it dry) and and plug it back, it should work. I'm looking for someone who knows how to revert back to Sys 6.0.8 from 7.5 or other 7's., and then erase the newer system.
Yeah, the audio circuit's caps have done shat themselves. Typically that means a large portion of the machine's caps are on the way out on these old II series computers.
RAM doubler sacrifices CPU performance for more RAM. Basically, RAM Doubler is constantly using the CPU to compress the contents of memory so that less of the memory space is being used. It does work, but I don't know if the CPU performance hit is worth it.
Oh wow. That's WITI Fox 6 Milwaukee! Now I'm curious about where this computer came from LOL!
Ciol
sounds like you have some cap issues with that IIci. I would look into recapping it before it's too late
Yey new computer clan video! My pc will turn on in the middle of the night if I keep it plugged in.. ;-; so I gave my step dad it.
I want to learn more about Windows 10 :p
Hit it with a hammer, but then again mine that needed reflowing and the five drop kicks I gave it did not work.
19:17 just using a feature on my headset called superhuman hearing , I can kind of hear it. I think it haves to be the power supply dying.
(its a Turtle Beach Ear Force PX-24 btw if you're wondering)
Hey, I understood that quasi-obscure live action film reference! I love _Holes._ Such a good movie. I loved the original book, too.
1989? Wow. I'm not even born yet.
That thing looks faster than my 8 years old windows 7 laptop.
WITI in Milwaukee...wow, you've got a time capsule there! That's gotta be circa '98-'99 when they had just introduced that new set at the time (and the Vince referred to in the files is Vince Condella, their chief meteorologist).
Cool! Thanks.
I’ve got a time capsule. Hehe.
It'd be interesting to see those clips on a computer with working sound
When you crashed it…oh man I kinda freaked out
Don’t judge me but the Sad Mac screen actually kinda scares me even to this day. The sound and the screen just gives me goosebumps and not the good kind either. I still have nightmares of that screen and I’m trying to face my fear…help
Well, nostalgia waves coming up!
Check your pram battery and PSU, most likely whats going on with system :) . FYI you can reset your pram by holding "cmd opt pr"
Hey Ken- great video! I had a IIci which I got from my old graphic design job when they were getting rid of it. I used it for a long time to maintain a database for my artwork, and I loved it because it was pretty fast and perfect for what I was doing, plus I could play my old System 7 games on it. I eventually got rid of it when it kept having the same power issues you're having. I'm convinced that they might have had something to do with the locking power button on the back of it, which can be pushed in and turned 90 degrees to "lock" to make the machine power up by itself if power is lost (I guess when using it as a file server?). Anyway, I'm really digging all of your content... a great combination of funny AND informative! Keep up the good work! Hey, did you ever do an episode about that Newtown eMate 300 on the shelf behind you? Just curious...
One thing you might want to look at is that the power button on the back of the IIci has a "locking" feature that would be used when the computer was configured as a server. Basically, it was supposed to automatically restart the computer in the event of a power interruption. It's possible that the switch is: a) faulty and b) locked into the "Restart" position. If the switch is faulty, it might be causing a power interrupt and automatic restart.
This was the last comment
So at 9:55, The Sign Reads Fox 6 which is based in Milwaukee, Wisconsin so that's my best guess on where the computer or the hard drive is from. Let me know if I'm wrong or if you want to add anything else.
Did you try the Built-in selection in the Audio Control Panel? I don't know what that other selection was, but it might have been an expansion card of some sort in there.
And SoundEdit 16 was my favorite sound editor back in the day. I did my first audio edit on that in like 1994. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I did try the built-in option. I think I just edited that part out.
I figured that, but thought I'd suggest anyway. Carry on!
Googling "PAS16" turns up
"The Pro AudioSpectrum 16 Mac is the state-of-the-art in audio enhancement for your Apple Macintosh computer. Available in LC and NuBus configurations, this audio adapter delivers 16-bit stereo digital audio recording and playback to 44.1 KHz, built-in MIDI in and out ports, and a 4-channel software controllable input mixer. These features coupled with it's CD quality sound - and bundled software makes the Pro AudioSpectrum 16 the most comprehensive, state-of-the-art sound solution available today. Hear your Mac like never before!"
If the card is no longer in the machine I'd remove the drivers and see if that helps
Quicktime was freaking amazing back in the day
9:22 What's with the video playback there? I was about to ask whether a slideshow showing one frame per second can be called a movie, then I saw the size of the file, over 30 MB... Well, at such paltry resolution that should yield a really fine framerate, so there's clearly an issue with video playback on that computer.
This is a lot more fun than modern PC
Nice vid
Check the internal battery. If it's on the brink of death it could be causing some of your erratic behavior, and once it's out the machine won't respond to any of the power buttons at all.
8:26 In the morning and watching this guy searching for good programs
I'm pretty sure the RAM "doubler "works by lowering the placement of graphics on the desktop to 1/2 or less of the original resolution. You can no longer place icons anywhere on the screen , they snap into place, and the overall desktop beyond the viewable area is much less. So for instance if You had 99 folders on the desktop, and they went off the edges of the screen, the ones near the edges get placed in a new location which is a several minute scroll through blank space. I'm assuming the allocation of space on the desktop uses a large portion of Ram in every program, and the "doubler" , simply truncates the word length used to describe location, , and replaces one of the bits with a standard value, and meanwhile initially allocates , 1/2 as much space in Ram to "location" values on the desktop. I've switched Hard drives from the same model computer with and without RAM doubler, and that's what I noticed.
I'd be legitimately like 2 days looking at all things on that hard drive
20:20 - Hey, it's me.
Nice video, dude.
Thank you, and thanks for supporting the show! : )
hey, i think you should check out the macintosh repository.. i'd love to see you play crystal quest or hellcats over the pacific (my childhood favourites). also, if you have an apple CD-ROM drive, it might be fun to try to install A/UX on the IIci (the apple UNIX that is sorta reverse-OS X).
Ooooh… an A/UX video would be awesome!!!
Hey man I love these videos ! You should try to install pro tools 5 free on a more recent os 9 Mac to see how it performs :) it doesn’t require a dedicated sound card and I’ve always wondered how it would run on like a g4 or g3
I’ll ad that to the ideation list. Thank you : )
Runs pretty well on a 333MHz iMac
Ken should do the expose in Mac OS, like the one that is in the current version
Yet another amazing channel found by RUclips's algorithm. Suggested Videos! WOOT! (trying my best to sound like a bot)
How do you take screenshots on System 7?
Shift-Command-3
It's actually the same shortcut macOS uses today.
@@ComputerClan Oh. Thanks!
well, i clicked the bell and as i was watching a drauaga1 vid i didn't get notified ;-;
childhood nostalgiagasm
Ah, the good old days of SCSI Voodoo.
Hey what is the intro song name?
VirtualAlpha good question
It's called Used To Say from JinglePunks. However, we get most of our music from Artlist! I highly recommend them: bit.ly/clan2LBaKov
Holes reference! I got it!
Nice
@@ComputerClan I really enjoy the movie.
what's next after this?
Future episodes will involve a custom build PC, Windows 10 installation sensation (along with drivers, yay), testing Adobe Premiere 1.0 on this Macintosh IIci, testing the AppleCD 300 (shown in the previous episode), and I recently picked up a more rare Macintosh. So much to come…
Sneak peeks (and more) are all on Patreon: Patreon.com/KrazyKen
Yo, Ken! Are you gonna do a Hackintosh video? (suggestion)
I have no immediate plans, but I really want to!
That would be awesome to watch, ngl.
@@win9xse Finally! I'm not the only one who wants to see it. :)
@@_kat1c I do as well actually, cause I only saw one person did it. He dosen't do it anymore but still.
Bad caps in the power supply probably killed a few transistors.. have the power supply rebuilt
"You are already drunk!"
Virtual Memory?
It's funny cause this video and a Bill Wurtz video was uploaded on the same day.
Hi
that’s funny
*collab with Billy McWurtz face*
Keep your hands out of the shots!
No
8th!

Craig
Yes. The mysterious Craig. I feel like he's going to have his own backstory soon…
My mom once had a boyfriend named Craig, but he was a dingus, so she dumped him.
Oof, i just noticied i'm early.
When I picked up an old Power Mac 7200 it had erotic transgender fan fiction on it
I secretly want that to happen on one of these episodes now. I mean, I wouldn't really read it, but it would sure be a surprise, haha.
2nd
Who else prefers Windows over Mac??
probably hentai
Dude it's called virtual memory.. please don't further the stereotype of Mac users as clueless luddites lmao
Okay... yes, but I was looking for more specific details about how this extension did it.
