I apologize so much for the delay cleaning up the spam that was previously here, huge thanks to everybody who sent in reports!

To add, just by way of general thought process: If you're using Mac OS 7.6.1 or newer, the 7200 should happily address volumes up to 2TB, and with 8.1 or newer it will even do so more efficiently. So there's no specific need to stick to slow or small disks, even if you want to be using older...

I've seen those for portable hard disks and some optical drives, are those approved for or capable of running with any othe devices? My immediate thought is that, especially with a desktop anyway, a powered USB 3-era hub would be an easier overall way to run higher powered speakers on an older...

I've never used these speakers (or, it occurs to me, any USB speakers that I can recall), but as far as I know, this "should" work. (narrator voice: he had forgotten the G4 cube shipped without built-in analog hardware, at this point in writing the post.) USB Audio is a fairly old standard and...

This looks super fun, what a novel idea and also that looks like a pretty great genuine speedup just on the RAM access alone. Great work!

Hey welcome in! It looks like you've managed to make some great progress with this machine, that's so great to see! Continuing on the "let's slow our roll a little bit" theme: It's real tough to read tone online so it's probably better to give people the benefit of the doubt and they presume...

does anything else show up if you run top or ps or whatever? My understanding is that the UNIX environment will use all the RAM you can give it and the default RAM for the Mac environment is perhaps a little low, or maybe dependent on what's available the first time you install it, and maybe...

Maybe not the most useful ever, but: idly: I ran A/UX 3.1 (the AWGS95 build, even) on a IIsi back in the day and it was "fine" - If you have enough RAM for it and some patience and you want to run A/UX 3.x, I don't see why not. (It's not like you need to make money on whatever it is you're...

Had a chance to read through a few times. Thank you to everybody who was able to provide useful, good information to this thread without attacking anybody. There's a line between a criticism that's still phrased reasonably (imagine your team at work is working on a problem and someone suggests...

In terms of SCSI replacers: In my experience, SCSI2SD v5 is Good Enough, basically for anything most people would want to do on any 68k Mac, or any compatible hardware of a similar era. (~1994 and older) especially in microcomputers and single-user systems. I've got a V5 in my Quadra 840av and...

Moderator note // as a word of caution: It's fine to prefer whatever you want. But there's good reason people are suspicious here. Historically, often in any comparison thread or in any thread where legitimate problems (especially with previous BlueSCSI designs) were mentioned, we'd be joined...

Just to add hopefully briefly w/re RAM: 36 is probably enough, it's probably well above and beyond anything you're likely to want to do with a 575, but "it depends". Stock a 575 would've had like 8 megs of RAM, 12-20 or so gets you pretty well into 1993-1995-era multitasking, and 36 would serve...

Maybe not useful but on general background: Performas were among the first Macs bundled with anything beyond the most basic viable preload of the OS itself. If you have any hint as to what specific machine your CD binders shipped with, it's likely the manuals for that machine or perhaps...

Good morning, Sorry for the delay, I'm locking this for now as it does seem like the thread has entered a loop. EDIT: further action pending, but I'm at work today and we're down half our team this week.

NT on PowerMacs is the future we were promised. It's just that it was supposed to be PowerMacs from like 1996-97. :P Very neat though, I might have to poke at this on my blue yikes g3. NT4 is already "pretty fast" on like a P/200, I bet it's great on a G3@300 or more. (Perhaps save performance...
