For example, allow CFM code fragments to be file-mapped, reducing memory allocation usage.

I was referring to the claim that *archiving* is obsolete. And don't forget that .app is really just a folder. I once had to download individual files and manually reconstruct a Mac OS X bundle.

Go to http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander.html, leave email blank, uncheck checkbox above, click download, and see what you get.

Some recent features of StuffIt seems to be recompression, which will be more important as Office 2007 and ODF files get more popular. If you are wondering why, do you know that both of these formats are basically XML and binary files packed in a .ZIP file? Have you ever packed two .ZIPs inside...

Yep, BinHex is wasteful on 8-bit clean mechanisms, which is why MacBinary was created in the first place. And I don't think StuffIt 5 format needs MacBinary.

So why isn't .zip dead? "Spam Micro", yes I know. As I said, it is pretty trivial to unsubscribe after downloading. I did it when I downloaded StuffIt 11 for Windows years ago to extract some .sit on Windows. It is not as bad as say RealPlayer.

Really? Anyway, for one thing, .sitx can store Unix file permissions, important for archiving Mach-O applications.

Yea I know. I downloaded StuffIt 11 for Windows a long time ago. I eventually unsubscribed from the emails.

It seems that by the time it is 20 years old, a lot of hate for StuffIt has been accumulated in the mainstream Mac community. What do you think?

Of course, that is for *without* the coprocessor.

Well, they did eventually make a 40Mhz 68LC040, which is now at half that price, and as a bonus these has the FPU emulation bugs fixed.

Yea, the Repair Extension Program and 5xxx/6xxx Tester. BTW, you can partly thank Open Transport for this.

Performa/Quadra/LC 63x was basically the same thing, with the exception of the coprocessor being a possible difference.

If you are wondering why, see this: http://groups.google.com/group/comp.sys.mac.hardware/msg/c06f2dfe449a75c7?hl=en And no, I don't think it chews system RAM.

Not exactly, MFSLives is an external file system. MFSLives comes with source code BTW, perhaps you can help making it work as a filesystem in Snow Leopard.

Nope, Drive Setup in 7.6 and later installed the 'ruby' patch into a patch partition on the hard drive to fix this limit in the old ROMs that is loaded when the hard disk driver is loaded very early in the boot process. The PCI Power Macs and PowerBook 5300/1400/190 was the first Macs with large...

I'd prefer the adapter approach, which should produce the same results with NO hardware hacking.

Yea, it seems that the Valkyrie chip was only finally replaced in the 5500/6500 with an ATI Rage II, which was made possible by the move to PCI in the 6360/6400/5400.

Which means the total memory limit for all three x100 models are the same, right? Edit: unfortuately not, because the fact that the 7100 have four SIMM sockets means that some RAS lines are wasted, cutting max RAM by half. Now what about the 6200/6300/5200/5300 Power Macs? If these have the...
