USB Adapter Card
Support 1.4.1
Download
this software to add a USB card to your PCI based Mac! This software
supports any OHCI compliant USB controller and various USB devices
from mice to external hard drives. It will work on PCI based Macs
from the 7200 to the Beige G3 and PowerBooks from the 2400/3400
to the Wallstreet. This particular installer's script should be
hacked to allow installation on "upsupported" Macs such
as the 2400 and 3400. For more information about USB/CardBus on
the 2400, 3400, and "Kanga" G3, please visit Rob Frohne's
website.
Many thank to Eric Strobel and the PowerBooks email list for the
info! Click the download icon at right to download the software.
It is a .img.sit.hqx file, if you understand.

TomeViewer
Sometimes
Apple's installers include a "tome" file. The tome is
a compressed collection of other files such as extensions, control
panels, and control strip modules, among other things. TomeViewer
allows you to view the contents of these tomes and extract individual
files for manual installation. This can help you to install Apple
software on supposedly "unsupported" systems (like AirPort
or iTunes on Mac OS 8.6). Click the download icon to start the download.

Disk Copy 6.4
The
last public release of Disk Copy for the "Classic" Mac
OS was 6.3.3. Disk Copy 6.4 implements lots of features not found
in 6.3.3 including support for creating CD-R images. Disk Copy also
allows you to mount most ".dmg" disk images that are commonly
used in OS X.

Disk Tools PPC (8.1)
Disk
Tools PPC is a floppy disk image for the utility disk that comes
with OS 8. Disk Tools PPC will boot any PowerPC Mac that originally
shipped with a floppy drive (including the Duo 2300 and PowerBook
2400). You can use it to repair some common disk problems.

Disk Tools 8.5
Disk
Tools 8.5 is a floppy disk image based on OS 8.5 and includes the
tools that shipped with that OS. You can use it to repair some common
disk problems. This disk can be used to boot Macs that cannot boot
from OS 8.1 like the PowerBook G3 (Wallstreet - it requires a system
enabler with 8.1 that isn't on the Disk Tools PPC floppy). Disk
Tools 8.5 is the last Disk Tools image from Apple. Later emergency
boot procedures involve the use of a CD-ROM, which isn't helpful
on Macs without CD-ROM drives like the 5300. (~1.5MB .img.sit.hqx)

pdisk
pdisk
is an fdisk clone for the Mac OS. It is EXTEREMLY powerful. But
it is also EXTREMELY dangerous. Using pdisk without knowing what
you are doing can cause irreparable hard disk damage and loss of
data. pdisk is not for the timid or faint of heart. OTOH, it is
the only way I have found of recovering and reformatting individual
partitions on a hard drive without reinitalizing the entire disk.

LapisColor MV v1.0.4
Here
is what I have found to be the most stable driver for the Focus
Enhancements LapisColor line of cards for the PowerBook 5300/190
series. This driver will work with the LapisColor MV16-EN Graphics
& Ethernet Card, MV16 Graphics Card, and MV8-EN Graphics &
Ethernet Card for your PowerBook 5300 or 190 computer.

AirPort 1.3.1 Patcher for 3400c and 2400c
Success!
I've altered the AirPort 1.3.1 installer script so that it will
install on the 2400c and 3400c under OS 8.5, 8.6, and 9.x. (The
PowerBook G3 a.k.a. Kanga already has AirPort compatibility.) Click
the download icon at right to download a copy of the AirPort Install
1.3.1 Patcher that I've created. You'll also need a copy of the
unmolested AirPort 1.3.1 disk image from Apple (which you can get
here).
Follow the on-screen directions to apply the patch.
