while finally doing a bit of early2023-late cleanups I was thinking a bit about the hypercard 2.3 box I have and hmm i'm curious if some softwares were always meant to be released with a bundle included or did sometimes two variations exist for a short time like the vanilla kind of original...
i know i've heard quite a few mentions about the g3 imac's but I've always wondered if thats due to the extra heat and vibration from being stuffed together into one unit or not..
so mm yeah my question is re if theres anything to look out for in one of these standalone monitor as well...
noticed this and even read the article on 404media itself too myself

I checked the archive copy of diamond's site for 1997, 1999, and even after a certain buyout in the 2000s but it doesn't seem like there is any reference to 'javelin' series, only either stealth video cards or hauppauge-rebranded (as the model # sounds too obvious on there) tv tuners, etc .. so...
just had to wonder what kind of processor these ran? (and I assume they're lga style too since it looks like one card had the original processor removed in favour of an upgrade daughtercard that has a bga variation mounted offside instead)

and if noone minds...
after writing to defor I realized something I apparently hadn't thought about for quite a while..
did eg the 6300 board even have a serial name or not as so much compared to eg that the 6360 was an alchemy etc?
(macinfo list only has names for either the 6100 or the 6360 utilized boards but not...
after having noticed an auction for apple iii business software - I just had to somewhat wonder if the apple ii and apple iii basically shared the same floppy drive mechanisms & filesystem or did the latter have any particular differences/incompatibility?
I assume that the ram upgrade, if any were present, is simply pulled upward to get out right? and if any hdd was already there did that have to be removed first or not so much?
and does the logic board really just simply slide out of the rear 'tool less ly', a little alike to how it does so on...
always been used to cd-booting up to till now, so seeing I don't even know much anything about booting disks on these kind of early systems I thought I'll ask here to be certain..
would one of the two 1.4mb images on https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-system-6x or the first link under...
I know theres only so much one can do about thermals but mm anyway..
just wondering if a newer hdd would had been any improvement (as I know that sometimes when I compare scsi specs it seem like eg this extra-old drive needs 10.7w while the less-old drive of same capacity only needs 9.2w etc)...
just curious about this and excuse my somewhat limited wordings but - I presume that there is basically two charger controls aka the primary one onboard and the other one controlled by the os itself?
noticed that the orange ring light at power cord end would switch to green for a moment while...
its a matshita cw-8124 as per the system profiler..
(and interesting enough while writing this I found out that the mini g4 used the same drive at at least one point?)
just curious if it could had been simply switched with another slot-loaded slim drive or is there any particular...
sorry about a somewhat short thread topic but anyhow..
just wondering which language it possibly is for that particular keyboard which has a short left shift key as to fit a new umlaut-u key to the left of the z key and similarly it has a few special character keys around the iso return key...
just kinda had this random thought while trying to look up something I recall about a supermac card (which turned out to be the e100) and mm I dunno what others think of crowding this kind of one-stop reference list for to help any owners with non-tower systems that has <=3 pci slots to squash...
while I know its not exactly a 68k/ppc software its nevertheless easily available for more recent osx's nevertheless so I decided to try post about it here rather than in the lounge...
just curious if anyone else here has tried this game as well? it rather is like evo/evn but in its own...
is there really such a card? because neither 2000-dated ati.com has it nor does the discounted products list in 2006-dated ati.amd.com either but yet I've seen at least two ebays and a handful of very generic webshops with the card listed by that name nevertheless
I'm wondering if its just a...
the story;
initially I was just going to order an existing tkl pcb to start with for now and later figure out how to get a separate cables-daisychained custom-made numpad to go together with it at some point .. but then by some chance while looking at more keyboards-related webshops I managed to...
how many function keys was actually supported in software? or was f15 generally the highest as far as pre-usb went?
I did thoughtfully try have a quick look at the macos9-compatible quickey documentation still available on their website but not surprisingly it actually didn't even mention much...
rather its a mechanical&usb retake of it :-)

I know a separate keycap set would fix certain little things like the modifier key spellings tho so don't nitpick too much about the factory photos? ;-)
I'm simply curious about it but the skinny main pcb that provides the usb ports/cable aside to the one power key itself..
could one had reused that on its own (without the main keyboard panel) as a crazy man's oversized power button for a non-apple usb keyboard?
I'll just mention this: this is...
