What software do you have? --David

I agree with LCGuy. This thread has gone too far. Stop the flamewar. --David

Great find. They were often used by reporters in the field. 1. Great keyboard. 2. Enough memory to hold a good-sized news story. 3. A built-in modem to send the story back to the newspaper. --David

How well does it run with two video cards? Does this allow it to support two monitors (one hooked up to each card)? I have a G4 DA that I would love to hook up a second monitor to. --David

If you want to install a unix like os on it I would agree with luddite. NetBSD is a good choice. Another good choice would be Debian Linux. There are other options, but those would probably be the easiest for you to install and administer. --David

You got this from Freecycle? Nice. --David

Fantastic! They made Visicalc come to life. --David

How does overclocking to 33 MHz compare to replacing the mother board with a Quadra 605 and putting in a 25MHZ 68040 (not the LC version)? --David

Yeah, smack that mac into submission. Just kidding. Seriously, if the connection to the analog board is loose, could smacking the side of the mac improve the picture? --David

I really need to get back to this. I have been busy with other things. I will take it apart and shoot those pictures as soon as I can. --David

I have read a rumor that Apple changed the design of the Mac Plus power supply at some point. When users began to install 4MB of RAM in the Plus, the power supply would overheat. Apple examined the issue and installed a better power supply in later Mac Plus units. Mac Plus computers with the...

Fantastic idea. Chimneys work well. On the project list it goes. Thanks! David

Making excutive decisions is critical for the success of any organization. Hopefully they are only done after careful consideration of all of the available facts. But the reality is, production schedules often do not allow the luxury of careful research. Often a research cycle ends this way...

Great idea. This will also go on my project list. --David

Sounds like if you use your Mac to read a document in the morning, you can cook your eggs on it. The hot air definitely needs to be drawn out. I agree. Based upon the discussion here I am now of the opinion that active ventilation (or a chimney) must be used as a general practice. it should...

Thanks for the suggestion. This will be added to my project list. --David

Everyone, Thank you for your comments. The overwhelming consensus clearly agrees the Mac Plus benefits from some additional cooling. I thought about placing the Plus on a cooling base designed for laptops. Without performing a proper analysis, I would expect it to be not as effective as a...

I recently obtained a Mac Plus (Yay!). It's beautiful. It came with a Kensignton Macsaver surgesupressor with a built in fan. it fits in nicely at the top of the Mac Plus and the fan works to cool it. But is it necessary to run a fan like this? Won't the convection cooling of the Mac Plus...

Bunsen, Which card did you decide to use. BTW: I am using a 32MB AGP GeForce2 MX in my DA without any problems. Though there are games that don't like it and want more power. --David
