Hello! A short announcement: Vendor accounts will now have green colored ranks. We also have a new vendor, intertialcomputing! Thanks, //wthww

I could definitely do what I need to do on the net with my Powermac 6100 -- itd be sorta pokey, but y'know :) //wthww

Hello all, This is an update on recent events. A few days ago the MLA's database was corrupted due to a non-graceful shutdown at the hosting provider. I restored from a previous 24hr backup and spliced in what I could recover; however, there may be some data missing between the two as damaged...

Hello all, I go to a local university auction fairly regularly. I know the auctioneer well and have attended for nearly as long as I've had money of my own to spend. I got a lot of my classic gear from this auction, and every once in a while something very interesting comes up. So, I'm running...

Hi CompuNerd, I've moved this thread to the best forum for it. //wthww

The G3 AIO is actually my favorite oldworld mac. The perfect bridge machine and so ugly only a weirdo like me could love it! In truth I've spent countless hours in front of one of these at school and many more once I purchased one for home. A fun fact: the wallstreet powerbook is literally a...

Wow, this is pretty great neozeed; thanks for posting here. I'll be following your efforts closely, as you had me at WinUAE cpu core. Who knew I was such an easy date? //wthww

Hello, You should take a look @ applefritter.com's forums. Its heavy into Apple I/II and failing that I'd look at the a2central irc's #a2c.chat channel. //wthww

Trag, This is super interesting, but not surprising. You're not the first to have such musings! If one searches the mailing lists of the netbsd project and linux kerel there was much speculation about it. Since the two chips are so similar in package and driver spec, I'd say your hunch is right...

Hello all, Just a friendly reminder that we don't distribute software unless we have acquired the rights to it. Thanks, //wthww

Hello, MLAers! The MLA will shortly be moving to a new hosting provider. This event is scheduled to happen during the upcoming weekend of 02/07-02/09. While we're moving the forum software to it's new host you may see a this page; it simply means we're working on the site. If you have any...

Hello, Its nice to see someone else venturing forth into lands unknown! These machines can be a bear to get going with NetBSD. Have you use system disk to patch open firmware? //wthww

Scott, Thanks for the great resource. I've been to your site countless times, and I'm rather sad to see it go. I've also mirrored it here. for anyone to use. If you would like to grab a copy from there, feel welcome to it; I've got bandwidth to spare. //wthww

Greetings, The 68kMLA IRC channel has moved from the venerable freenode to a network called oshaberi. You may now access the irc channel from the information below. Oshaberi is run by several 68kMLA members/admins and is, of course, awesome. The guidelines for the IRC channel stay the same...

You might try CD Sunrise. It is my favorite of the generic drivers; it is freeware and works with almost any drive, the one caveat being it doesnt support CD Audio. It is also super tiny. //wthww

Allo, Progress! I picked up another torx set and went about my business. Have you had three pb5XX strung out across your desk before? I have now! Working on the pb550c made me sort of nervous; getting replacement plastics would be next to impossible short of importing another. The 550c is now...

Yo, I've had time to spend with the machine and I've come to the conclusion it is now my favorite 68k powerbook. The dark plastics, larger screen & full '040 really make it for me. The machine sadly has a few issues, namely: The floppy drive eats floppies. (Yeah, I know right? The head is...

Thanks for all the replies, guys! It was. This machine was imported. It also has the rare-as-hen's-teeth revision c pcmcia cage, so I'm set as far as powerbooks for a good long while. I'm planning on installing NetBSD on it and making it a regular-use machine. Fun times! //wthww

Hello, all! I have not acquired anything partcularly interesting a quite a while now; that has changed. I was able to purchase this off of another long time member. Kudos to him, he sold it to me for a quite reasonable sum over eBaying it. One more thing... Enjoy, //wthww
