    not a Mac (but not a PC either)

    You do need a Sun keyboard (I use a type 5). They are slightly different than what most people are use to, takes a while to fit in. I haven't seen any PS/2 adapters, but I'm sure there are some out there. But there should be a USB port on the back as well. I've never tried that (and don't think...

    Avatars?

    Thank goodness for no images on signatures... That's the ridiculous stuff there. All those forums with two lines of text in a post, and half a screen for some repetitive image. Which always sucks. I voted none at all, but only because I like text only forums (call me old fashion). The only...

    Wallstreet Modem

    That sounds good. I'll try that out.

    taking charge!

    I just got WPTS FM (wpts.org) to pimp the retrochallenge site! Here is an MP3 of the shout out! And some more shameless MLA shout outs. "The Acronym" . Thanks guys! Some live music from that session for ya.

    Wallstreet Modem

    I've just finished case modding my Wallstreet, got myself a new 15GB hard drive, upgraded the RAM, USB card, DVD and MPEG decoder, Wifi card, and all that jazz... I'm currently running OS 9.2.2 (for some reason) without any problems, except... the modem controller software is not working. I read...

    Complete Collection of Every Compact Mac?

    Here is a tricky question... To complete this collection. Where would you find a disk image of the 1984 investor meeting demo disk as seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ12vNZ5yMY ? Or am I dreaming of a white Christmas?

    So...Whatchagunnado?

    Speaking of old books on computer design... I've got a copy of "Logical design of digital computers" by Montgomery Phister, Jr. circa 1958, sitting right next to me. You know it's got to be legit if the word "digital", and "computer" are strung in the title. Personally, I like the Noam Nisan...

    swapping CPU's - good ways to pull a CPU

    I don't know, I found it to be a slight benefit having the FPU, and there was just enough room for mounting the heatsink that came off the 040 that I pulled from the Quadra 650 that I got it out of. Besides, the 650 was pretty much hosed except for the CPU... hardware wise. It was trashed when I...

    performa 6200...

    I have one of these Road Macs... Since I run OS 7.6 on another Mac (Quadra 605), I decided that I should be more "well rounded" by running OS 8.1. You are right that it slows down a bit (especially with the 64MB RAM), but still, it does its job. One thing though... I have one of each, an LC...

    So...Whatchagunnado?

    I'm not too sure, I've got so many choices here... Is there any limit to how many retro machines that can be used over the span of the month?

    A\UX

    I too also have had experience with A/UX. I have it on a Mac IIci at the moment, however, I've been too busy to break it out for a while now. Last I recall though, setting up the networking card wasn't too easy. Oh, and the compiler that comes with the base install is total crap. I hope there is...

    swapping CPU's - good ways to pull a CPU

    I have a Quadra 605 which stock has a 68LC040... Yeah, sucks. Dana will tell you all about that. I recently changed out the processor with the full 68040 which, let me tell you, made such a difference. I don't think I'm much help since I've never done that particular upgrade before, however...
