Hi all,
I'd like to share the beginnings of my latest project with you, namely the website http://www.pomme-s.ch, hosted on my PowerBook 100. The 100 has 6 Mb of RAM and a 80 Mb hard disk. It runs a stripped down US System 7.0.1 with the bare essentials, and the server soft is Machttp 2.6.1. To speed things up all I need is copied in a RAM disk at startup (System folder, Machttp and the site's files).
The PowerBook is connected to internet through an Asanté Micro EN/SC adapter. The domain name is resolved by zoneedit.com servers, and my home network's external IP address is updated by one of our recent Macs whenever they're online (this will most certainly be an issue, since our provider tends to change our IP very 24 hours or so).
There's nothing much to see or read as of yet, and all is in french. Sorry! Well, "pomme" is the french for "apple". Pomme-S, or cmd-S, as a call to save those old apples... The project for this site is to (modestly) show off my collection and stuff about vintage Macs, in french. The design intend to mimic the manuals of the first Macs. Please feel free to share some feedback, as the project is just beginning today.
I have a couple of questions about maintaining that PoweBook powered on 24/7, and hopefully someone here could help:
1. For now, the PowerBook is running without any batteries, only feeded by its AC adapter. Is it safe?
2. For now the screen is always on. Is there an easy way to switch it off without switching off or sleeping the PowerBook? Closing the lid does nothing.
Thanks a lot in advance!
