Looks very interesting - although it's $80. But without knowing how the dongle makes the USB device appear on the network, it's tough to know if a 68k Mac will be able to make use of it.

Christopher is correct. Tiger's System Requirements include a firewire port, but that was a (rather arbitrary) way for Apple to keep its support efforts simple for Tiger. I've installed Tiger on several 350MHz iMacs and it's never been a problem. IIRC you don't even need to fool the installer -...

A few points to add to the good advice others have contributed: - As folks have said, Tiger must be installed on the first partition, and the partition should be smaller than 7.45GB (7.45GB binary is approximately 8 billion bytes) - HOWEVER, it is unlikely that formatting your partition to...

I've had at least two LC575 boards that ran fine with 128MB SIMMs installed. True, they need to be the right kind (single-banked - which has nothing to do with whether the SIMM is one or two sided or not) - but with the right kind, the machine runs great.

Got this locally off Craigslist for $20. It's an older LCD (regular 4:3 aspect ratio, not widescreen), 1280x960 max/native resolution. It came out of a server, so the panel and main circuitry are in an aluminum frame. The button board and one other small board, plus the PSU, are attached but...

Was this for free? If so, fantastic conquest!

Whoa - never seen those before! I guess that's what a 16MB SIMM with low-density chips on it looks like. Sounds like a fantastic Q700, totally maxed out. Congrats - that model is one of my favorite 68k Macs.

$125 for an iMac G4 with a broken optical drive is not an amazing deal, but certainly a good one. I would say if you could get everything for $130 - in effect, getting him down to an even $100 on the iMac G4 - you could consider that a major bargain, no question. I would show up with a wad of...

Travis, I think you make some excellent points, here. These are indeed public property in this case, and they could still be very useful for at-home use for low-income folks (especially for young kids doing math practice and such, as you say). The problem, I think, is the cost of distribution...

To me the price is outrageous, but if I were to bid on it and win it, it would be precisely because of the collectible value, and so I would not open it.

I would try disassembling it and removing that optical drive. An optical drive with a stuck disc (esp. after a crash) can produce very ugly symptoms. I've seen a couple of Powerbook and iBook G4s that seemed dead until I took them apart, disassembled the optical drive, and removed a stuck disc...

You've got a point there. I never actually used OS 9 on anything more recent than a 7300 until a couple of months ago. Then, late last year, I ran 9.2.2 on a 300MHz beige G3, and it was absolutely smoking. Except for startup time and Web-browsing, that is.

Nice solution, and a great tip - thanks!

I've fiddled with OS X and XPostFacto on a number of beige G3s, and my conclusion is that you should use either 10.4 Tiger or 10.2 Jaguar. There's no reason ever to use 10.3 Panther with it (unless of course you have Panther disks lying around and you don't have Tiger). In my experience, beige...

For me, it's OS X, hands down. I love Classic Mac OS, but in my view the fact that OS X is so much more stable is enough to make it #1, without even considering all the other aspects in which it rocks. My least favorite Mac OS version, I think, is 7.5.x. It's slower and less stable than 7.6.x...

Pics please! M

Anyone experiencing difficulty loading 68kmla of late? Over the last couple of days I've been having trouble, for hours at a time.
