I love going down these rabbit holes with you Druaga, it's all the excitement of your family stumbling upon you in a mess a wires and adapters sweating bullets with your mind racing at 3AM, with none of the stress.
Best video ever. Excellent commentary. I wonder what draws us in to trying to do things like this. Reminds me of using BasiliskII, Disk Copy, and HFS Explorer to make bootable OS 7.5 floppies for my LCII, when the only computer capable of getting on the internet was an IBM Aptiva running Windows 98.
Your videos are the best, there soo entertaining and hilarious at the same time! Keep up the great work man Side note: I use macs as daily drivers but even I can see that classic macOS was the hugest pain in the ass and I can't comprehend how people actually used it.
Ian's just gonna bide his time until one day someone is willing to pay $2,000,000 a pop for those old computers at which point he'll walk into work and take a big creamy shit on his boss's desk as his resignation.
FurTheLoveOfFurries Try to reset the PRAM Shut down your Mac. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. Turn on your Mac. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys immediately after you hear the startup sound. Hold these keys until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for a second time. Release the keys.
Druaga, your videos put me to sleep. I mean that in a good way. I get home from work, do whatever nonsense it is that I have to do for an hour or two, and then when I'm ready to sleep I put on one of your videos and watch until the sandman takes me in the most sensual way possible.
Mac OS X was such a complete architectural overhaul that the same app couldn't live on there. It does have an app with the same purpose, TextEdit, coming straight over from NeXTSTeP.
Simpletext was ported to Mac OS X as a carbon application. It was included in early versions of Xcode for OS X Tiger and earlier. It will not run in a modern version of macOS because it is PowerPC only. You may run it on an Intel Mac with Rosetta if it has Snow Leopard or earlier.
Toni Lähdekorpi I've actually been shocked by 240v before; an shoddily built 240v-to-120v transformer had a short to it's case, and having no ground, it went right into my arm when I touched the case, even though the transformer itself was off but plugged in. Fortunately, the amperage was low enough to not cause serious injury. 120v, however, has a much higher amperage, and most breakers in the US are rated for 15-20A. If you were to use some sort of a tool on that, it would guaranteed melt the tool, and probably knock the tool out of your hand. Once we had a garden slug crawl into an uncovered outlet. It shorted the screws on the side of the outlet and ended up blowing the slug apart. All of us heard it; it was similar to a firecracker going off in our house.
Actually emulating a newer machine on an older model should be possible. Theoretically you could emulate x86 on a Sega Megadrive, but how efficient that would be is a whole other story. :P
Personally, I prefer iPhones to Android and Windows phones. Though, I prefer Windows to Mac in PCs. My first PC was a custom Acer (According to my dad) 8GB 4.5 GHz Quad CPU With EVGA Godknows what with 2 GB VRAM with a Samsung 26" monitor with 120 Hz refresh rate
8:40 is where he breaks the 7500's power button, for those of you who watched the video where he replaced it. Also: 5:00 weird stoner makes funny sound effects
If you want to make future floppy disk emulating easier you could look around the internet and look for images in sizes which has the file extension .DSK and rename it to hd20 so you should get hd20.dsk then go to mini v mac and when you install from mini v mac in the installer drag the image to it. When you are finished copy that image to the SD card then when you are done place it back in the floppy emulator and then at boot up go to the settings thing and set it hard drive mode or something like hard drive emulator. Once you have done all that your floppy emulator will be emulating a hard drive.
Has Druaga heard about Localtalk bridge? this can be installed on the 7500 and then route the network traffic to the 512 classic and even the Imac. I've made a similar setup with my classic some years ago. And I also used it to "network print" to my apple laserwriter back then. And I'm lauching my ass off while watching the video's maybe because I see so many familiar things and crazy sidesteps. And got as frustrated as Druaga himself.
Wouldn't that also mean you could edit the disk image and drag Mac write onto the system image disk and make an all in one image just by connecting the 512k Mac to the 7500, and drag and drop the Mac write files onto the 512k Mac?
Did you try just ejecting the system disk and then mount the MacWrite disk with the floppy emulator? System 3 and earlier supported that, where it would just keep track of which disks you're swapping between and would have you swap them out as necessary.
This would have been much less painful for you if you knew this one simple thing. If you drag the disk on the mac512k to the trash it will eject the image, then you can select a new image on the sd adapter. Plus you could have just booted the 512k with the macwrite image, copied the files over to the physical floppy then rebooted it with the system image.
how many mac's do you have. i have Macintosh classic and Centris 610 both of them the video miss up I also early 2008 iMac and i bought few months ago early 2010 mini
I know this was a super long time ago. However, should you wish to do it again. The problem you had with ethernet was probably due to the old 10baseT network adapters not handling auto-negotiation with your switch correctly. I found that if you get a small 10baseT hub and put it between your Mac and your switch then all of a sudden it works fine. This was a common problem back in the day.
You know you could of just taken out the sd card in the floppy emu, put it in your macbook pro, and copied system 3.3 and macwrite as a disk image on your sd card, right?
The clock can't be set to 1938, as the UNIX 32-bit clock only goes back to 1970. You were in 2038 which is the last year the clock supports before looping back to 1970
Here: Plug disk emulator into Powermac Create image from virtual disk Make a diskette from image Boom, I just saved you a few hours that you can never have back. You could have also: Opened SD card and related images in MiniVMac on Windows Made disk image with MacWrite on it Put on SD card Boom a slightly more time consuming than the last but still shorter than the way you went method.
I love going down these rabbit holes with you Druaga, it's all the excitement of your family stumbling upon you in a mess a wires and adapters sweating bullets with your mind racing at 3AM, with none of the stress.
"From old as shit Mac to old Mac" druaga ~2016
lol I was gonna say the same thing
More like 'from old as shit mac to old as fuck mac'
That day Druaga woke up and decided to see if he could revive an obsolete technology in a really unpractical way, for our entertainment. Thanks.
I swear, almost everyone of your videos is some crazy genius hack to get something that should be simple to work. I love it!
Druga1 is the type of guy to make a video that is 1 hour long not boring af
Half way through!
and you're the type of guy to misspell druaga
Trying to open up text document for hours..my grandma in a nutshell

ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if you don't take it out and use it, it's going to rust
"Hey yo dawg, we heard you like Macintosh, so we put a Macintosh on top of your Macintosh so you can Macintosh while you Macintosh."
Man I remember watching this from my recommendations 6 years ago, and now 6 years later it's in my recommendations again
That mission impossible beat box tho =D
Your videos are the best, there soo entertaining and hilarious at the same time! Keep up the great work man
Side note: I use macs as daily drivers but even I can see that classic macOS was the hugest pain in the ass and I can't comprehend how people actually used it.

Do you beatbox for a living?
A vwestlife and Druaga1 video on the same day? That must be what heaven is like.
Heaven would be all old computers working as well as a 512K Macintosh.
I know right, they're all a pain in the NEC...
FurTheLoveOfFurries Try to reset the PRAM

so many of you videos have no point to actually do this , but its entertaining watching you do it.
"this was written on a powr mac 7500
420 blaze it fo goood"
~That one text document.txt
ANOTHER hour long video?? Druaga my boy you certainly have me impressed!
New people be like.. "OMG DRUAGA! SHOWEED HIS FAZE!!!!!"
BNMC0919 lol faze XD FAZE CLAN FOREVER
MadGamerPlaysYOLO Yes. Druaga joined Faze.
say your sorry to Ian
albert cazares DO IT! JUST DO IT! Hogdriva DOOOO IT!!!!!!!!
ShoWEED
i see what you dit there
So Simpletext = Notepad?
Notepad is extremely old, it's on Windows 1.0 to 10, barely any changes lol. Is Simpletext on Mac OS X El Capitan?
Notepad, it is so old that it doesn't even recognise line breaks from other OSes thus showing everything in 1 line.
Mac OS X was such a complete architectural overhaul that the same app couldn't live on there. It does have an app with the same purpose, TextEdit, coming straight over from NeXTSTeP.
Simpletext was ported to Mac OS X as a carbon application. It was included in early versions of Xcode for OS X Tiger and earlier. It will not run in a modern version of macOS because it is PowerPC only. You may run it on an Intel Mac with Rosetta if it has Snow Leopard or earlier.
Upload more of these vids. they make me laugh
Sticking a metal screwdriver into a power button; smart. It could be a mains power switch.
Toni Lähdekorpi Yes, or it could turn out to be a 3 inch piece of plastic.
Just 110v. At Least it isn't u.k 240v.
Kirbyofdeath Kind of like Russian Roulette?
psygn0sis I haven't tried putting 110v through my body, but having tried 240, I wouldn't want to try...
Toni Lähdekorpi I've actually been shocked by 240v before; an shoddily built 240v-to-120v transformer had a short to it's case, and having no ground, it went right into my arm when I touched the case, even though the transformer itself was off but plugged in.

I was hoping the iMac was going to stay on even when unplugged ;)
and born was the powermac 7500 power button replacement video
now in pink
From the screen shot and title I thought this was another "Ian Computer Show" clip.
When I heard grownup Ian I was like WHAAAAA.
He's gonna break something, isn't he? *starts watching*... Yep.
Man,i am a Windows user,but even at that time,everything was more easier with Windows
Personally, I prefer iPhones to Android and Windows phones.
Though, I prefer Windows to Mac in PCs. My first PC was a custom Acer (According to my dad) 8GB 4.5 GHz Quad CPU With EVGA Godknows what with 2 GB VRAM with a Samsung 26" monitor with 120 Hz refresh rate
"more easier"
Ever heard of Ubuntu?😏😏😏
I run ubuntu with mate on my main pc.And even ubuntu,is more easier than Mac
Ubuntu is the future.
Cause the day that support for Win7 will end is coming and Mac OS only works on macs
I've been waiting for so long for part 4 and here it is
When Mac 512k w/ SSD?
Fucking hell Druaga, stop treating your tech this hard... :C
Control-Command-Triangle (Or Control-Command-Eject, depending on your model of keyboard) is a reset function.
OH MY GERD!!!
ANOTHER. VIDEO!
Time to get going, "happy watching", guys... This will be fun.
AND IT'S A HOUR?
*Mom walks into room* "JASON ARE YOU TRYING TO PROGRAM A MISSILE WITH ALL THIS!"
11:20
*Macintosh:* _STAHP!!_
*Ian:* _Shit_
how are these videos so entertaining
just how
first lazy game reviews had a video on nerd perfect and now druaga 1 uploaded a video as soon as I finished it
By the end of this video I had completely forgotten what the initial point even was...why am I watching this?
phone line thing, the printer thing, and the music thing, and the screw thing. :)
10 minutes in... and I've had it. Throwing out all of my computers and buying an abacus.
Or burn a floppy and put it in the 512k! What about that?!
uhhh dis gun be gud betta get mah cookies for dis one
i love it the way things make us loose our minds
And that is what happens. when you try to view a text document from a pc from the 80's
8:40 is where he breaks the 7500's power button, for those of you who watched the video where he replaced it.
Also: 5:00 weird stoner makes funny sound effects
When it appears its done, put you see 45 more minutes on the timeline...
You ought to do a video with all your computers and other computer shit cuz it seems you have an endless supply
If you want to make future floppy disk emulating easier you could look around the internet and look for images in sizes which has the file extension .DSK and rename it to hd20 so you should get hd20.dsk then go to mini v mac and when you install from mini v mac in the installer drag the image to it.

There can't be an Episode of Druaga1 without any problems
Put the GT 420 in the PCI slot!
The GT 420 is PCIe, the Powermac 7500 does not have this kind of slot.
trizm 6ix 六
You need a PCI-E slot for that.
Ooops, sorry about that.
Just use a PCI to PCIe adapter. Duh.
Oh. wonder what the 7500 would do with it.
Has Druaga heard about Localtalk bridge? this can be installed on the 7500 and then route the network traffic to the 512 classic and even the Imac. I've made a similar setup with my classic some years ago.
And I also used it to "network print" to my apple laserwriter back then.
And I'm lauching my ass off while watching the video's maybe because I see so many familiar things and crazy sidesteps. And got as frustrated as Druaga himself.
While watching this video I counted all my braincells doing suicide after each other. Why do you do that to your self?!
Wouldn't that also mean you could edit the disk image and drag Mac write onto the system image disk and make an all in one image just by connecting the 512k Mac to the 7500, and drag and drop the Mac write files onto the 512k Mac?
that phone line thing is the poirt so you can connect a voice modem
Did you try just ejecting the system disk and then mount the MacWrite disk with the floppy emulator? System 3 and earlier supported that, where it would just keep track of which disks you're swapping between and would have you swap them out as necessary.
Don't copy that floppy!
Kiyoshi Kirishima The Disk Protector for you and the posse
Kiyoshi Kirishima I think in this case the the phrase isn't about preventing piracy as much as it is about preventing loss of sanity.
Check the PAL/NTSC setting on your VGA adapter.
"oh my piss! Piss! Piss!" LOL
Wow I was lost with this video and I am an IT engineer lmao. Wouldn't have the Druaga1 channel any other way though :)
sweet beatboxing mayn
You need a movie series.
I wish that I had Jesse's Disk!
EVERY UR UPLOAD IS AWESOME!!!!
Might need to change my PW's to Vodka, like you do with Weed
you should do a windows vista video next. hehe
Maybe some Deepin linux video? It looks fancy.
the music thing and the screw thing LOL 😅
This would have been much less painful for you if you knew this one simple thing. If you drag the disk on the mac512k to the trash it will eject the image, then you can select a new image on the sd adapter. Plus you could have just booted the 512k with the macwrite image, copied the files over to the physical floppy then rebooted it with the system image.
You had to close the doc on MacWrite. Then the Open option would be usable.
Wiiting for Haiku btw
This is why I prefer windows. Better backward compatibility.
william fleete Not really. Anyway, there was no Windows in 1984.
william fleete Windows sucks ass, kinda like you.
remember kids when your power supply starts to rust it's probably time to get a new power supply
Druaga does horrifying things with adapters.
Lol at the intermediate VCR 😂
somehow opening a text document is more troublesome than hacking apart a specialty device for playing drm music
My mind is quite blown and trying to comprend all of the MACS
when your expanding something and you don't know where its expanding to
Hey druaga, where did you get your magic cable that connects both macs printer ports? Great video btw
WOAH. Where did you get the thing with the orange switches under the right monitor?! I remember that shit form prekinder
how many mac's do you have. i have Macintosh classic and Centris 610 both of them the video miss up I also early 2008 iMac and i bought few months ago early 2010 mini
Hey cool! I have that presentation system too!
The ultimate cable to from old old shit Mac to old shit mac
@18:34 Wait, wasnt the backup Mac Paint/Mac write disk write protected? The write protect hole was left open. hmmmmmmmm...
By watching him and get a interest we are all nerds lol
i like how you try
It might help of you use HFVexplorer (Windows) you can change the file type and creator (vital to tell computer what file is in Macintosh)
What is that box with the red lights on it that the monitor is on top of
I know this was a super long time ago. However, should you wish to do it again. The problem you had with ethernet was probably due to the old 10baseT network adapters not handling auto-negotiation with your switch correctly. I found that if you get a small 10baseT hub and put it between your Mac and your switch then all of a sudden it works fine. This was a common problem back in the day.
literally stopped paying attention to whatever you were saying at about minute 41, great video tho
Amazing video! keep doing what you do
this reminds me of how i set up my windows networks...
You know you could of just taken out the sd card in the floppy emu, put it in your macbook pro, and copied system 3.3 and macwrite as a disk image on your sd card, right?
The clock can't be set to 1938, as the UNIX 32-bit clock only goes back to 1970. You were in 2038 which is the last year the clock supports before looping back to 1970
On the 512k, boot Macwrite from the SD card and copy the files to a real floppy?
*tries to run an application that's designed for newer macs, gets a system error*
"WELP EVERYBODY, THANKS FOR WATCHING!"
- Classic Druaga '16.
Here:
Plug disk emulator into Powermac
Create image from virtual disk
Make a diskette from image
Boom, I just saved you a few hours that you can never have back.
You could have also:
Opened SD card and related images in MiniVMac on Windows
Made disk image with MacWrite on it
Put on SD card
Boom a slightly more time consuming than the last but still shorter than the way you went method.
Damn I'm early should probably make a weed reference...
25:18 I'm using almost that exact same router for my internet right now
u are as good with computers as I am
4.2, you know what that means!
4.20!
