I have SoftWindows 3.0 on my PB 1400c/166 running Windows 3.1 (or 3.11 I forget which) in 386 mode. It feels like a 33MHz 386DX to 33MHz 486DX, but I haven't bench tested it as such. I mostly ran Borland Turbo C++, ClarisWorks 1.0 (for Windows) and the IAR H8 compiler. It was... usable to OK. It...

(UK) what about Freecycle?

The question is then.. is a 2020 MBA admissible at this point? Let's go back to the founding liberation documents: https://wiki.68kmla.org/68kmla:about "Yes! Score! We should make a Mac army and go around liberating poor old 68k Macs!” from 2001-08-24. So, at this time, Old-World PowerPC Macs...

I remember you demoing it at the 68KMLA-UK workshop in .. 2023 so that means you'd only had it for about 2 years then. I was very impressed! Aaah, from the command line I realise you generated MPEG-1 video, which I think is the same as VCD video isn't it?

My mistake, I thought the copper pipes had water in them. But it was just air then. Ok. yes, I think I was confusing them. Easy to do ;-)

I thought I'd do a few, informal experiments: ComputerPSU (alone)BootingOperationalIdle PB1400c/1662.4W+16.2W+16.2W+14.2W 2008 MB C2D/2.40.8W+29.2W+24.2 MBA M2<0.1W+15W+10W+7W They're not very definitive. the MBA has a number of open tabs on Safari. Opening e.g. a news page with ads...

Yes, I was always a fan of 7.1 (not really used 7.6.1). I have 7.5.3, 8.1 and 8.6 on the PB1400.

I'm getting used to it! I think I've commented before, but I've never really used Mac OS 8.5.x nor 8.6 before. I went straight from 8.1 on my PB5300 to 9.0.4 on my iBook. Hmm, I think it's on, I'll fix that. Of course, you're right! And I used to use a scanned photo I took from a holiday in...

For us, 26ºC is the boundary Thanks for the feedbacks. Let's assume for the moment I can stick within Da Rulez (or I'll have to moderate myself, which is kinda what I'm trying to do here), and it's important to talk about a hypothetical, nameless, phenomenon (HNP) which makes these kinds of...

Ironically, shortly before the 68KMLA launched the IKMLA forums, I ended up retiring my stalwart Mac mini late 2012 due to the UK heatwave at the end of June! This Mac had been my primary Mac for most of 2014 to mid-2018. I'd upgraded it to 16GB; a 512GB SSD and it was happily running Catalina...

Thanks, that explains things. I bought a copy of Mac OS 8.0 as early as I could. Mac User UK's "Mac OS 8 is Great" totally sold it to me :-) but I bought a retail version anyway. OK. Is this just a TEXT file?

I have a genuine copy of an iMac/266MHz Software Restore CD. I've always wondered if it was possible to install the version of Mac OS 8.5.1 from it on my PowerBook 1400c. In my mind I was always concerned about how much of the installation was tailored for an iMac. The answer is basically none...

This is particularly interesting. Does it mean that if I take an iMac/266 Mac OS 8.5.1 install CD; insert it in my PB1400c/166's CD ROM; find the equivalent installer application and hold option while double-clicking it, it'll bypass the Machine check on that too?

Hey thanks! I guess I can dig out my copy of Snow Leopard and downgrade the WhImBook. 🥴 “Everything* deserves a shot at redemption” - Antman. (* Actual quote says "Everyone", but there's a redemptive element in everything the 68KMLA does).

Feel free to add it to @noglin 's proper Quake spreadsheet: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ndaq6qB-cMrCBbtbENK5MjTWr4g-nnw6yWjLqYM2ARM/edit?gid=0#gid=0 It would be the lowest RAM 6100 and slowest 6100. Oddly enough @killvore has two 6100/66/264 entries with apparently the same setup...
