I've recently availed myself a sealed copy of OS/2 Warp 4! Woohoo! I'm hoping to find the time (in a month or so) to install it on one of my machines here! :-/

Well, as I've had absolutely no time to even start any of my projects (thanks to my day job), and having been told I need to put together a fairly substantial presentation for a business meeting next week, I'm afraid my Retrochallenge is over before it even began! Good luck to the rest of ya...

Yeah, it's an expensive hobby :) My Amiga upgrades before and during the Winter Warmup were nearly a grand... What can I say, a fool and his money are soon popular ;) The Remem rocks, I've been debating getting one myself. Wasn't someone also working on an update to the rampak (irampak...

Nah, not really interested anymore. Thanks anyway, though! :) I'm scaling back my computer hobbies - I just took stock of all the "retro" computer hardware I've bought in the last year or so, and it easily topped $6000 8-o I've decided to save for a condo instead.

Usually, they go for some ungodly amount. The last one I saw went up to $200 before I stopped watching. It's insane...

Hey! I'm using one too! What am I? Chopped liver? [:D] ]'> Anyhow, I've been after a Disk/Video interface for my M100 for ages - they occasionally pop up on eBay but I keep getting outbid :( Next to the Rampac, it's the ultimate Model 100/102 addon!

The 5300 also makes a good bludgeon, as I once demonstrated to a would-be mugger. Had I been carrying my Powerbook 160 instead of the 5300, he would probably be dead (sharp corners on the PB160!!)

For the record - The 400MHz SunPCi card will not work under Solaris 10. Many have tried, all have failed. it'll work without a hitch under Solaris 8, but you'll need to rename a couple of files and create a couple of symbolic links to get it to work under Solaris 9. (Coincidentally, I'm...

Hmmm... maybe I'll dig out my copy of Allwrite! for my Model 4p and join in the fun! :p

Heh, just sent you my entry form!

Wow... and to think I scored my Duo 210 free, for helping my neighbour shovel his sidewalk!

Well, I've been thinking about it, and I think I'll make a go of it, using my trip as a bit of "added challenge"... especially when writing a daily blog. I could make do with my wireless-enabled Powerbook 5300, but as she was my "main machine" for a couple of years earlier in the decade, it'd...

Really? I've had no problems with the site using iCab on my 540c or my LC575. It's not the prettiest mind you, but it works.

I may have to sit this year's Retrochallenge out, as I'll be in Edmonton for half of July on business :( Unless I can find a marginally interesting portable (that isn't a PC, Powerbook, or Tandy Model 100/102), I'm out. Anyone have a Sparcstation Voyager or Sparc-based Tadpole they want to...

Really? I was disappointed with it. Mostly because I'd been playing the Amiga version for many years and had VERY high expectations for the Sega CD release.. It's not even the same game, and the music was WAY better on the two-floppy Amiga version. On it's own terms however, it wasn't such a...

I still have my trusty ol' Genesis that we bought the week it was released in Canada... and still play it to this day. Sega made some great consoles in their time, and I only wish they kept at it. My Sega stuff: Genesis x1 (also have Power Base convertor for Master System games) Genesis II x...

a couple of years ago, I thought of doing a case mod, or perhaps more appropriately given my lack of skill, a "case-mangling" so I could install a Beige G3 logic board into the 7200 case. I let "Olde Mac Milt" talk me out of it though and ended up buying the 7500 logic board instead... which...

Agreed! I absolutely love the case design... but the main reason I want to keep my 7200 case is because it was my first ever PPC Mac! :)

A kilometre (give or take) of RJ45 network cables. In 5ft lengths. A similar amount of phone cables for use with the phonenet adapters I'm sure I still have here somewhere. A slot-loading 50-pin SCSI DVDROM drive that I put into an external case and used with my Powerbook 5300 (and later on...

Thanks, I'm rather excited. It's nice to have a new project - can't wait to max out the RAM, throw in a Radeon 7000, Aria Extreme, and Tempo Trio, then (try to) install Panther. In the grand scheme of things, it's not the most practical use of money, but what the Hell.
