Thanks for the info everyone. Based on this I could either 1) go nuts and create a bitmap engine to convert text to psuedo quickdraw from the II or 2) remember it's the future and I don't need to print from my IIc :)

Wasn't able to find anything via search. I've got my IIc working nicely, but was wondering if I could print from it to the Stylewriter II I use with my SE. I've got the correct serial cables for the IIc, but not sure how to print to the Stylewriter. I guess I'm asking what software would have...

That video was interesting. I guess, at the very least, the LAMP stack way of doing things is the best way to ensure forward-compatibility while still having some kind of front end to mess with the actual data within the older environment that I enjoy. This does introduce the possibility of...

That's helpful. I hadn't considered HyperCard, but it does bring up another question I think I need to answer before I go looking for a specific application package. "Personal" databases tend to be just that, personal. Their contents rarely need to be shared and typically reports take care of...

I think I've exhausted my google-fu on this tonight, so it's time to ask the army. Are there any database programs that run on a LC III under system 7 that will allow relatively easy file format exchange to some kind of modern application? Preferably without having to save to a CSV or anything...

Ok, tried that. Says it's running at 25mhz.

That's the thing, I don't know what application that would be. I *think* one of the Norton utilities can analyze clock speed maybe?

Alright, I've had some time to play around with this thing and I must say...I am way beyond happy :) First, it works perfectly. I put a new battery in it just in case, powered it up and it booted as if it were brand new. There's a bunch of stuff on the hard drive, but whoever had it, had some...

Good news everyone! Turns out the package was delivered to a house one block over and the people who live there brought it over today. Looks like I'll have some experimenting to do tonight :)

Snagged this off of ebay, mostly because I had no clue what the modifications to the board were beyond "probably just a overclock", but I figured it would be fun to explore it. Plus, it looked pretty clean and complete...

Simple question, but I can't find a simple yes or no out there. The floppy on my 631 is acting up, probably just needs a cleaning. If I need to ultimately replace it, do I have to find another manual inject, or can I use an auto-inject superdrive in this machine?

Followed the trail of links and google results and found a way to stick a PC Live! card in and get it to work with the Mac drivers. I'll totally be trying this out when I get a chance as I have one of the specific models of SB card that are known to work. Awesome.

The machine does have a seritek sata card in it, and i've got a 250gb drive connected to it now. As for the Soundblaster Live! thing...are there drivers for one of those for OS9?

Started playing around with my 1.25ghz (single) 2003 MDD and after looking at it's specs, it occurred to me that I *might* have the fastest (stock) OS9 machine Apple sold. This machine has the Geforce4 installed too. Now, I'm calling this one the fastest as the dual CPU machines aren't really...

Still haven't acquired a machine yet. Been casually trolling ebay but most of what I find are original ROM machines. Of the newer versions, they are priced way out of what I'd like to spend on an occasional hobby. Still looking though.
