Wow, that Prusa printer looks nicely priced too, based on looking at their website!

Flux is harmless. You may clean it off if it bothers you.

Cans of compressed air are expensive, and usually don't have enough air. Got clothes dryer that runs on very low heat? Try that, I've dried more than a few boards in my dryer. (Of note: I have a stationary drying rack, so the board sits on that in the middle-ish of the drum) Clean with the 70%...

Try KiCad, it works very well, and is what I use. It's also Free and Open Source software too. If you ever want to make multilayer boards (more than 2 layers), you will need to pay for an expensive license to Eagle. Eagle is a fine program, I just fine KiCad better. P.S. KiCad will be doing all...

Okay, regarding which versions of the Macintosh System Software that each version of MacWorks supports is this: MacWorks XL (Essentially the first version of MacWorks, it was renamed XL to match the released of the Macintosh XL): System 1.0-3.2 MacWorks Plus (Designed to simulate a Plus...

There are a few different versions of MacWorks, that let you run different versions of the OS. The last was MacWorks Plus II; I believe, and it came from sun re marketing? It essentially turns the Lisa into a Plus-like system, and is capable of running up to System 7.5.5, as well as allowing...

I have illustrator CS2 (even if I can't produce anything meaningful in it), which will open your Illustrator 8 files, and save it in a myriad of file formats. One has got to work, but I'll have to figure what that one is. BTW: Thanks for PDFing your illustrator files for viewing on the web. It...

Yeah, I know. :-/ I live without them, but they are freaking hilarious! I'm very curious to see what you end up porting to MacOS. AFAIK, there is no real POSIX compatibility layer for MacOS anywhere. SIOW template helps with using basic console input and output, but you will quickly learn...

Indeed so. I should have mentioned that earlier, but, for anyone interested: http://ohlandl.ipv7.net/config/mempresence.html http://ps-2.kev009.com/ohlandl/config/mempresence.html#72_pin_SIMM_Identification Now, what the gestalt *could* affect, however, is how fast the memory controller will...

;) One note regarding MacWorks and Lisa Office System. If you run a floppy only system, I believe you are stuck with MacWorks, and Macintosh system software. Lisa O/S IIRC requires a HDD.

Ahh, A programming question for the Classic Mac OS. Finally! We don't get enough of those around here. This page should have what you need: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/macintosh-programmers-workshop I recommend 'upgrading' to the "GM" (Version 3.5) of MPW, if possible. That's the version I...

Are you sure it's an XL? I remember that a 2/10 can boot MacWorks without modified ROMs. Also, RE the screen mod, that also points towards evidence that it is indeed a 2/10.

I don't think the Geforce in my Quicksilver is currently suffering from the can't remember orientation problem. What VidCard do you have jt?

You should be able to do Wireless on the PB and wired on the 6116, as long as they are both on the same LAN.

It's great that you are figuring all of this out! :)

Ahh, that's what I was thinking of. I thought some sort of connector was slightly different. I thought they were identical otherwise. Thanks! You are right, that is standard, and still is standard to a certain degree (i.e. Dell Optiplex systems are available in both Desktop and Tower forms. I...

You can always LocalTalk it over too.

I agree that the 90s were certinally a decade of change in the computer market. I know 2000-2010 were also a pretty big decade, but I have to argue that the 90s probably changed more between 1990-2000. Why would you build a 630 and a 650/800? 90s Apple being 90s Apple. Look at the timeline of...

Indeed. I bought an Intel Core i5 3570K, way back in 2012. Now, five years later, it is still powering my main workstation. After mildly overclocking, I have performance comparable to the i5-6600K, and likely the 7600K too. The most improvements are in the platform IMO. I have no pressing need...

That makes sense. I wasn't trying to imply the architecture was more like the 610 and 650/800, I was just saying that, compared to a LC 575, or Q605, LC475, the logic board seems more complex. That is all. It was a physical observation. I wholeheartedly agree with you. 630 has its quirks, but...
