    G3 Redundancy problem

    Although I may have stated this problem in some other thread it's about time I asked for advice on what to do with said machines. I have two G3 machines sitting idle at home. I have a beige G3 233mhz with 192mb ram but I need to restore the hard drive as I screwed it using XPostFacto as i...

    Gee Three

    Maybe it's just me but I have yet to find a great use for my G3s of which I have two. Both the Indigo iMac and the beige 233 I have gather dust I have not found a task they excel at. Maybe I am just fussy or am missing something. Probably would be more practical with more memory as they both...

    T-minus Two Weeks to RetroChallenge 2010

    I would love to enter but there is a few flaws 1. The oldest machine other than a ZX Spectrum +2 is a Newton 2100 2. I have no engineering or programming skills. 3. If I used the Newton I would have no idea what to do with it :) Unless I could figure something todo with the pb1400 under...

    OS Ideas

    I am a sad man who actually planned an OS called CrossPlatform. The idea was a complete VP type OS so you could have Windows, Mac, Amiga and many other platforms on one desktop. Basically I know you could do it with emulators but the idea was to do the multiple pass interpretation like the DEC...

    Yay finally repaired my PB1400

    Screen cost me £7.27 from eBay How nice to have an old friend back ... Ok Front bezel claims to be a 1400C/133 when it's in fact a 1400/166 was a cs but the Active Matrix screen is much brighter :) I am a happy bunny ... Ok it's only got 16Mb but that's more than enough for Wordperfect 3.5e...

    eMate 300 in box - my first Newton

    i do know what i am talking about ... two reasons 1 the iMac does not have an adb/serial connection so problem 2 I had an adapter which converted to usb the newton communication seems to fail with all settings. Before you start accusing make sure you are talking to someone with little or no...

    eMate 300 in box - my first Newton

    Welcome to the world of Newton ... I have a 2100 sitting on my desk at home it gets the occasional use (criminal I know) I would probably use it more if my Powerbook 1400 was not broken as I can't connect to it using the iMac it's too fast. I would like to download the unna archive but their...

    Not happy :(

    Just opened my Powerbook 1400 cs/166 which admittedly has been sitting idle for a while to find my LCD totally splintered not a happy bunny ... I have found various sites selling replacements but what I want to know is ... Is it worth paying that little extra to get an active matrix screen...

    Yay my newton is still alive....

    Had a horrible time trying to find out what was wrong with it only to discover after a lot of messing about it was my us/uk adapter had died for the charger so the battery was just flat. All fine now .... Who knows I can get back to my novel writing now lol :)

    My Wavelan Silver was dodgy so I bought the "Airport Extreme Compatible" from Ebay. It is a Motorola card and works fine. Hopefully it work for sambapati87 as it did me.
