Hi, How much are you guys spending to upgrade your G4s? Did you compare the cost of upgrading to buying a new (or at least newer) machine? With the new Intel iMacs that have a real graphics card, the price to buy a nice machine has come way down. David

bigD, It looks like you got about a 2x performance boost over madmax_2069's numbers. David

I don't have any 68k machines on my network, but it looks like a very nice idea.

Bunsen, This looks very cool. Liker virtualization software, I imagine that this will take quite a bit of RAM for it to run smoothly. Do you have any idea what the system requirements should be for smooth operation? I would be very surprised if this worked well even with an 040 if you are...

I don't believe calling X from its own directory is necessary. It find the X executable just fine. I am running NetBSD 2.0. In this OS (it could just be the version of XFree86 I am running), -version is not a valid option to X. That is why the help comes on when I type X -version in an xterm.

Yes, I am executing the command X -version within an xterm.

I am calling startx directly.

Thanks!

I didn't realize that. Isn't there a way to use a bootloader like you can with other archetectures?

The only Mac I have that can take a PCI card is my 733 MHz G4 digital audio. It is my primary machine (I am typing this message on it).

Wow! Great haul.

Yeah, it looks like twm. The menu that comes up when you click on the background is an exact match. I am not sure what is going on with fluxbox. It does appear that fluxbox was installed. Maybe it is not being launched? Time to check the X startup scrips. QuadSix50, I am typing in an...

How about Debian Linux or NetBSD? Why jump to a MacOS?

1. I checked the processes running as equant suggested and twm is running. Fluxbox also seems to be on the machine. Can both be in use at the same time? does fluxbox use twm? I looked up fluxbox and blackbox on Wikipedia. I didn't get anything useful there. 2. I tried "X -version" in an...

Great suggestions. I will give them a try. David

How can I tell what window manager is running with XFree86 with NetBSD and Debian Linux? Thanks, David

After seeing the pictures, I have to say ... I want one too!

Thanks for the article. The examples given make sense. Every article I have seen prior to this one has taken the "oh no, don't even think about working on a CRT mac without discharging it" approach. Thanks, David

Unless you require greater portability, I would recommend a LCIII. The LCIII has a a very nice setup internally. Everything is in a single layer making working on it very easy. Everything is accessible. Replacing the hard drive or adding additional memory are very easy tasks. They can also...

Tom, I received an error from the webserver when I tried to connect. I tried reporting it to you by emailing you at the address given in the error, webmaster@68kmla.~tl.co.uk. The email was deemed to be undeliverable. Please update the Apache server error message with a valid email address...
