I hate to be negative, but no.  Bootable RAM disks are indeed a thing, which I've used, and dozens of us here have used.  You are quite wrong here.

Not the ones with the scalloped keycaps they didn't.

NitrOS/9 might be worth considering.

The 650/800 has a couple of notable advantages over the 900 & 950, if you can live without the extra 3 Nubus slots (2 really, considering the 9x0 needs a video card).  They're somewhat faster, and use 72 pin RAM - far easier and cheaper to find, and larger in capacity, than 30 pin RAM.   LEM...

Service manuals for the LaserWriters and ImageBanger are out there on the web

Moved to PPC Powerbook.

As always, kan knows all, sees all. Just to clear up any confusion: There are four different risers for the 6100 PDS, and they're all incompatible (G3 exception as noted) PDS passthrough: for HPV and AV cards G3 CPU upgrade & riser: acts as a PDS passthrough if you get the right one [1]...

Just for funsies, I dumped that link into the wayback machine and managed to download a few files.  If the one you're after doesn't work, try a different date (via the calendar bar at the top).

Done.

Huh, I never knew that.   That much I do recall - the 68882 is only compatible with 030 processors, so the 040 and 603e Duos can't use it. Which is a darn shame: the only way to get an FPU working with a 280/280c would be to replace the CPU :-/

That said, there are car care products which claim to keep your dash from cracking.  One of those might be worth trying.

Wow.

Have you considered setting up the Beige G3 as your server, for both LocalTalk and Ethernet/WiFI?  And I suppose if any machine needs to be left always-on, having one with ADB, mD8 serial, a floppy drive and SCSI might be advantageous.

... it does?

That's most kind of you, mactjaap.  PM sent and merry Christmas to you too :)   Well, that's my dream too - and I think a Pi with a serial connection is exactly that.

You're welcome.  I plan to have a go at it myself as soon as I have a Pi or similar and the necessary adapters or a soldering iron in front of me. My point is mainly that the Localtalk to Ethernet adapters are now so hard to find that they really shouldn't be considered "normal" equipment that...

Where on earth did you find that?

Emphasis on the word regulated.

Compare the styling on the Global Village Teleport Modem.  Maybe bring your grooves a bit further back from the front end, and in from the sides.  Or ... and I realise this is going to be tricky .... centre the display cutout widthwise, and have it only show the actual LCD area, and not the...

There's something slightly off-putting about the asymmetry of the SD slot - you might want to make that more symmetrical about the top cut-out, and try to match the proportions to a real floppy slot a little more.
