It is now official... I've contacted my hosting provider, and made the arrangements. On Feb 11, 2014 Penny will be retired.

Awesome - I knew that board was going to a good home :)

Yeah, to be honest, I kinda burned out on this hobby. Old computers are fun at first, but they end up being a lot of work. The site is coming up for renewal anyways, so I figured it was time. I've already had a few folks offer to host mirrors, so it's not completely going away. Thanks guys

Hi guys, I'm not sure where to post this, but it's A/UX-related, so the software-forum seems appropriate. After ten years, I have decided to shut down http://www.aux-penelope.com. The site will be up for at least another few weeks, so feel free to grab a mirror if you find it useful. I will...

It's been a while since I played with this one... but I remember it being pretty darn slow. Slow enough that I just use telnet. ;)

Source and compiled binaries for ssh client & server: :-) http://www.aux-penelope.com/jagubox/AA.new_files/ssh-1.2.32.tar.gz There's an ssh-2.4.0 package here, but I think it's just the client: http://www.nleymann.de/appleAUX/

I'm using a solid state drive in my Slackware system... All partitions are mounted with the 'noatime' option to minimize writes.

Perl & bash were ported to A/UX... http://www.aux-penelope.com/jagubox/

Success! I picked up an AppleColor M0401 for twenty bucks on Ebay. It works perfectly with the Toby. 8-)

I finally got my hands on a CRT monitor, and a proper PC to Mac video cable. I tried every setting on my sync-adapter. No luck... The CRT monitor won't sync at all. I've ordered another Toby, but I'm starting to think I need a real Mac RGB 13/14 inch monitor

I have a Quadra 610 with two VRAM simms... not sure what size they are, but I can check for you on Monday. I'm pretty sure the C610 and Q610 use the same VRAM.

I just picked up an old Toby framebuffer (820-0198-A7) to use in my IIcx. The card seems to lose sync every few seconds - I'm trying to narrow down the cause. I'm using an LCD monitor with a home-made Mac-PC video cable... I can use this cable on other video cards, and the monitor will do...

Try this one... It seems to work with pretty much anything. http://www.aux-penelope.com/files/AUX_3.1_Boot.img.gz

Oh cool! Thanks!

On closer inspection, there is a "greasy discoloration" around some of the caps... I think a capacitor-replacement is in order. I have some experience in soldering, so I don't think it will be a serious problem. [;)] ]'>
