OK, X on the 68k Macs would probably work, and work well, if there's a port of kdrive to 68k. I don't know if there is, but if so then that's awesome, if not then can someone port it? For those who don't know, kdrive was previously called smallx, and it's designed to run well on low spec, low...

Why not run a Mac emulator on the Mac?

Congrats! Whatcha gonna do with it?

Watch it not work...

Who knows? Probably inefficient coding for the PPC port.

/me has a horribly beaten up ROM 03 GS. It was a school computer and it has 'Foreign Language Dept.' melted into the front. It's actually not too bad other than that.

Nevermind, acquired one from somewhere else.

No chance of you shipping me one of the 3.5 floppy drives from one? I only have one and it drives me nu- *swap* *swap* *swap* *swap* *swap* *swap* *swap* *swap* ts.

Gyah! Why not? They're awesome. If I could only find out how to make those damned .2mg files work on a real gs...

Stick a LCD in it and use the video out to drive it. :)

Sweet. How much was it?

http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/docs/gettingstarted.php is uberhelpful for setting up 68k Linux, makes it very easy. NOTE: Most of the links are broken. The items you want to download are http://superb-east.dl.sourceforge.net/sourceforge/linux-mac68k/Penguin-19.sit for Penguin Booter...

Quite possibly. Just got one and it seems to be much better than the early Macs. Sadly selling new computers that are backwards compatible with old ones has not been a good tactic for non-PCs, and definitely not at that period.

My Ubuntu system(which has a Hackers theme) has a little clip from somewhere appropriate in the movie.

Precisely! Also, the easy package management makes it perfect for older Macs(no slow compilation, and closer to the ease of install of Mac OS progs.)

What're you going to do with the old mobo?

Debian Linux keeps a surprising number of my machines useful. I'd love to see a forum dedicated to 68k/older PPC Linuxes.

Nevermind, I got it. I found the location of the hard reset switch and that resolved it.

OK, I got a PowerBook 5300c a bit ago. I put it on sleep with the battery fully charged, and the AC adapter unplugged. Now, the power LED is solid green and I can't get it out of sleep even when it's plugged in. I've tried unplugging everything including the battery but it doesn't do much. The...
