I was just wondering why there was no NeXT section on 68kMLA? Since NeXT's history is twisted up with Apples, and they are pretty old these days, I was just wondering why there was not NeXT specific section?

I actually used it for UNIX classes and to learn UNIX in college. I ran it for for a few years before I got my first Sun box.
The 68K version ran very well. It was stable and provided a powerful UNIX environment. The C compiler and X server worked as they should. It was even pretty fast...
Has any one ever used MachTen? I never see any reference to it here?
I actually have the install disks ( more floppy's the MS office from the same era ) for 2.2, and several versions of PowerMach10 on CD.
Just Wondering.

My first Mac as a Classic II. I used it for about 3 years until I got my 6100. I added an FPU to it, so it was actually pretty fast at Floating point stuff ( at least until I recompiled the code as native Power PC on the 6100 ), but slower that dirt for everything else. I remember, I could...
I had one installed in my Classic II many eons ago ... but sold the FPU and memory ( I had it up too 10 Meg ) after I upgraded to a 6100. It would be cool to have 10 Meg and an FPU for my Classic II. Then again, I figure I should just get an SE/30 ... then I can put AU/X on it too.

At one time, I actually used MachTen. Back in the Days before Linux was a viable option and even used Sun 3's were $5000.00.
Resurrecting my Classic II is on my list for this year. Assuming I can get all my MachTen Floppies together and they all still work, I'll probably install it.

Did you build your Replica-1?
I think Vince is in Chardon or something like that. I know he's not far from here.
A registry of Replica-1 owners would be cool, so if you wanted to meet others who have them, you could.
Did you build yours?

I have a Replica I. It is a pretty cool computer. It's very easy to understand, and if you can build it, you really can learn a lot about computers.
