    They most probably got better value for their money. :)

    Getting a Classic II on TCP/IP

    There was a thing called "macipgw" which seems to have gone to oblivion. I use my own program which does the job on my local network and runs on NetBSD. I wrote a daemon program which does DDP on one side and SLIP on the other.

    You didn't make that distinction, so lets go for a Quadra 610 with built in 486SX. :)

    Getting a Classic II on TCP/IP

    No Leopard AppleTalk. AppleTalk on Tiger actually stops you registering "IPADDRESS" and "IPGATEWAY". The only solutions I've seen use Linux or *BSD.

    Getting a Classic II on TCP/IP

    MacTCP manages to talk TCP/IP over LocalTalk by packaging each IP packet as a DDP packet and sending it to a "MacIP Gateway". Unless you have some component on your network doing the DDP to IP exchange, nothing is going to either see or return to you DDP encapsulated IP packet...

    System 6 Browser Development Opinions

    They removed the original C and replaced it with Symantec's C, so it's now called "sc". I am seriously trying to find the time to do the rendering. It will get done, I assure you all. :)

    Anyone have BeOS Developer Releases?

    One of the dumb things they did was provide a POSIX subset but no pthreads or BSD sockets API. In the age of the FOSS and the internet, not providing BSD sockets was suicidal.

    Anyone have BeOS Developer Releases?

    I use the BeOS 5 i386 demo. If you take the demo, install it on a PC it creates a single file containing the BeOS file system. Take that file and burn it to a CD-ROM, boot from that CD-ROM and it acts as a complete BeOS installer. There are a couple of updates available and you do end up with a...

    cheapest smallest mac?

    Yup, video encoding is fantastic with an 8008, and even better with a 4004. Also, don't even consider using a Quad G5, because it doesn't say Intel on the chip.

    Posible conquest: LCIII!

    Network installs work for most classic macs. As long as you can boot with media that has appleshare client and network drivers, and your server has the files in the appriopriate layout.

    Mac-VGA adaptor help!

    For the classic Apple monitors, the sense lines are only sampled at power-on time. So fiddling with the switches without power cycling won't give you the "true picture".

    Where did your "Programs" disk come from? Scribbling the word "Programs" on a disk with a crayon isn't going to fool it.

    Hard drive issues

    I can't tell. It could be the computer's PSU, it could be connectors that have worked loose or corroded, etc. You're the nearest!
