Hi!
You wrote ~2 yrs ago: "Would a CPU from a B&W G3 work? I have a 350mhz one I might be willing to sell.“ -- is this still actual? Yes, it would work.

Do you mean 2 Megabytes/s? On a 10 MBit/s connection, that’s not possible. Or do you mean 2 MBit/s a.k.a. ~200 KBytes/s? That’s what I get on 68k Macs typically. I never exceeded 400 KBytes/s.
Not to my knowledge, at least not directly. Of course a Radius Rocket can do things faster, but it’s not really a card for decompression.
The problem really is StuffIt, mainly. Other decompressors are faster, but not as widespread.
Hi,
I have the Mac OS 7.5.3 set of parts of the SMI disk image here (in my (language) case 17 disk-sized parts of the image). When double clicking the first part (named .smi, having the appropriate icon), nothing visible happens, no error message.
When I open Disk Copy 6.3.3 manually, and...
It’s not that easy. If it does, and the program runs from the cache, all fine & speedy.
But what if the cache is dirty and has to be emptied? Mac OS isn’t that great in contest/multitasking application switching and I/O (netwok & disk), so it wouldn’t make me wonder if in certain daily...
I got my hands on a Hurdler CPI Nubus card, that’s a “Parallel” port card (like IEEE1284/“Centronics”). Accordings to some docs it has a declaration ROM onboard, fine, so it’s sitting there and waiting for some data.
It came originally with some printer drivers -- but these seem to be lost...
Definitely, yes! It would e.g. enable us using 68k Macs all over the place in large congresses like the Chaos Communication Congress (some 17k visitors, some 30k devices in one network). It’s a switched network, but there’s no L2 connectivity between sites.
