Ayup, external SCSI ones work fine with toast, I've used a couple. A Quadra 950 I used with a LaCie one had no problems burning at 8x. Dana

AFAIK, that's a version unique to the sawtooths, which came out after 8.6 was released & needed an updated 8.6. They run terrifically well with it (My mother's G4/500 is a strangely zippy beast with it, and I think I'll take it back to 8.6 if she ever upgrades to another machine) Dana

And I hear they run OSX. ;) Good catch! Dana

I put a 6500 board into my mother's 6400, as the sound was dodgy on the 6400 with the G3/400 upgrade. The 6500 *and* G3 together worked just fine, too. Dana

What tomlee59 said above. I opened a 40MB one, planted it in a Quadra 605, and installed 7.1 just to watch it working away. A full OS install and some app installs later, I put the lid back on, and left the drive - it still worked OK a few years later. I have no idea how careful you'd need to...

The Forbes blurb (usual waffle from a non-technical source, alas) doesn't, but the dual core, 2GHz 64-bit 13W SoC they did end up creating does. It's real hardware - with real products using those SoCs. ( and this has to be one of the coolest looking pieces of PPC hardware I've seen :) ) (And...

Alright, that's a bit of a lie, but they *are* buying PPC designer, PA Semi. http://www.forbes.com/technology/2008/04/23/apple-buys-pasemi-tech-ebiz-cz_eb_0422apple.html Dana

The old forums has this post - http://68kmla.org/forums/archive/topic.asp%3FTOPIC_ID=2360.html - when I found a site with info on adding two more simm slots in the little Q605. From memory, the fellow who did that one had a bit more than 256MB in, and was aiming for more. Alas, the original...

Aye. I think. If you mean the windowmaker stuff + mail.app etc on Debian, on a Quadra 605 - yeah. sluggish, but worked. Dana

hold either option or command and drag the little triangular-ish tab on the end of the control strip up/down or left/right to change its position. Dana

A normal mouse here - an apple mighty mouse. Trackballs make my fingers/thumbs/wrist lock up in pain after a little use, without me noticing until it's too late. Dana

on my Wallstreet, I have a MacSense AeroCard Plus. Works in MacOS9 and Mac OS X with MacSense's own drivers, and the fellow who sent it to me had it working on the WS with Linux, too. That's about everything covered! Its model number is WPE-700, too. Dana

http://www.danamania.com/tmp/lapisvideo.jpg http://www.danamania.com/tmp/lapis.jpg One o' them. No drivers, alas - the other Lapis drivers online and that people have sent me don't detect it, but it does give nice resolutions with loads of colours, and isn't terribly sluggish without...

I tried another 128MB which caused chimes of death, as did two different 32MB ones - the 16MB was the largest I could get it to boot with, in the 2nd slot. (single banked slot, not single sided, too) Dana

Mine are no more or no less beige/platinum than any other macs I have. My G3MT is quite certainly platinum, the G3DT is a little yellowed (but less than some other platinum boxes), and my 7300 is REALLY positively beige - yellowing again. On the inside, it's Platinum though. Dana

Just throwing a few things around, while I had a Q630 out and playing, and I think I found my new favourite 68k :) . A 630 with 630DOS logic board, overclocked (40MHz) full 040, comm slot ethernet, Lapis 3MB LCPDS video card for dual monitors, 148MB RAM, 10GB HD and SCSI CDR, running 8.1...

128+16+4MB works http://www.danamania.com/tmp/q630.jpg Dana

My iMac has one of those, a little fine dot inside the screen. It's either some crud that was inside the tube when it was built that's decided to stick somewhere, a manufacturing defect in the mask, a manufacturing defect in the phosphor triads, or something similar along those lines. And...

I ran debian on Virtual PC, on a 1GHz eMac. It showed me how damned good Virtual PC was for emulating everything but graphics - and it's impressively good. Benchmarkwise, it came out around the speed of an 800MHz PIII, and handled serving danamania.com and danaquarium.com for a little while in a...

Aye, looks like webkit - when executed, iCab loads /System/Library/Frameworks/WebKit.framework That, and the iCab browser itself is 2MB. Not to take anything away from iCab itself though - the rendering engine is one thing, how it handles throwing around pages via tabs/bookmarks/content...
