Yes. - Drew

Which ColorSync displays are you having trouble with? Personally, I always wanted a ColorSync 850, but I had to "settle" for a pair of AppleVision 1710s (basically a ColorSync 750). Alas, one of them developed the deflection board problem. The other is having trouble with convergence. But...

Other than the bigger & better screen, the 2300/2300c doesn't have any real advantage over the 280c. I'd go the 280c route myself. Peace, Drew

That is only for OS X. There is no such restriction for OS 9. Peace, Drew

Yes, it will run on a 3400c. There is no sleep support or battery monitoring, and PC card support is limited to CardBus (no 16-bit cards, it would seem). I think I read that the backlight control is non-functional and that the backlight is on full, as well. 144 MB RAM is probably helpful. I...

And there's also the problem of OS X needing 96 MB of RAM and the 1400 maxing out at 64 MB. Peace, Drew

And they don't use any of the stupid marketing gimmicks like "SpeedBoost" or other MIMO technologies. They are pure 802.11b/b/n setups. Peace, Drew

No. Not possible. OS X cannot run on NuBus systems or systems with a PowerPC 601. This precludes its use on 6100, 7100, 8100, 7200, 7500, PowerBook 5300 series, PowerBook 1400 series, 6200, 6300 (except 6360), 5200, and 5300 Macs and all associated clones. Peace, Drew

macintoshman, you sound as if you have been scarred by Linux. While your experience may have been unsatisfactory, please understand that there are hundreds (indeed thousands) more for whom Linux has been quite satisfactory and useable. You are certainly entitled to your own opinions, and no...

Here is a much better picture. The first one had poor focus. This one should be much crisper and shows the effect more clearly. Picture. About 1 MB. Peace, Drew

That doesn't sound right to me. Two linear polarizers that aren't aligned correctly cause an apparent dimming of the light passing through them, they don't create a grid pattern. So if the polarizer behind the LCD were somehow out of alignment by rotation (not merely translated - that should...

Straight from the horse's mouth: It's platinum! ;-) Article It's an interesting article about RAM disks. Did you know that the beige ... er platinum G3 supports EDO RAM? Interesting. I smell a hack coming on... Peace, Drew

All Power Macs have the same color until the B&W G3. The 8600 and G3 are exactly the same color. Peace, Drew

Here's a picture. 700 KB, so dailup users beware: http://www.ppcmla.com/images/540c_Display_Grid.jpg My description doesn't match the picture (or maybe the camera's electronic eye doesn't see the same thing I do, or maybe I'm over sensitive to the issue). Anyway, there's a demonstration of...

macdownunder's post reminded me about the good old days when the LEM email lists ran off MacLaunch.com. The PowerBooks list (not the Compact Macs) is the one you want. Check it out: http://www.mail-archive.com/powerbooks@mail.maclaunch.com/msg06388.html Peace, Drew

You are right. According to Sun, there are no restrictions. Back in the Solaris 8 days (last one I downloaded for my SPARCstation LX), you had to pay for Solaris if running it on more than 8 CPUs. I just discovered that my Compaq Evo N600C (a freebie currrently running Kubuntu) will run...

You could run Aurora Linux. May as well get one specifically for the sun4u architecture. Is Solaris still a free download for single and dual processor boxes? Peace, Drew

Get a G3 upgrade (cheap on eBay). Best upgrade for a 6100, period. Peace, Drew

I absolutely love those old LCDs (Apple Studio Display)! I've got five of them now - two DVI models, two of the original purplish ones with the old-style Mac video connector, and one with the blue and white coloring of the B&W G3. They are wonderful displays (relatively low power, too - 45...

I doubt the game requires LocalTalk specifically. Just set up your Mac to route AppleTalk over the ethernet port. That should work fine. Peace, Drew
