Aha, now I see it. It's the fingertip version. 1990? System 6? Up to 4 monitors? Was that even possible back then?

Found an image of the back of the box. Doesn't seem to be a mouse, more like an early, minituarized touch pad. Up to 4000x4000dpi? :-o

What is it? Has anyone tried it?

So, I need some kind of mini-din serial to USB cable/adapter. I've seen something similar used for plc programming, but I suspect that the pinout might be different. Did Apple ever made such an adapter or were there only 3rd party ones? Edit: Hmm. When I think about it, does the Stylewriter...

+1. With some modification to the color palette, the flight scene could be the sequel to Another World, after the ending scene, perhaps? Rewriting the horrible Heart of the Alien, that fortunately never made it to the Mac.

Yes, I've seen the guides and it seems to be a long and tiresome process. One of my G4s are having overheating problems, and after resetting the pmu with no succes, I consider opening it to have a look. Any experience?

When the g3 came out, tests indicated a 20% performance gain at the same clockspeeds. Noticable? In 1998, yes.. but now, not that much. Its just slow vs a fraction slower.. But I always had a soft spot for the 604 from when I got my Power Computing clone. But 9600/350 was the real dream that...

Calculators are cool! Have a ti-86, similar to the ti-83 but with more ram. Have my eyes on a vintage HP 45 right now.. Love the feel and old school design..

Ok, you mean in bin or hqx format? Sit files doesnt work after putting them on pc formatted floppies, if I remember correctly.. How about cpt?

That is a proper beige setup, a good find! (A Side note: I find it a bit discouraging when I think about all the user data that have been lost/deleted from old Macs. Its of course the right thing to do when its someone elses property. But a big part of the real Macintosh legacy, to me, is all...

Great find, I have not seen one for sale in a while. Had the 1360 version in a iifx some years back, it made a huge difference compared to the Apple "Toby" card that came with it. Its a shame that those dsps never got used much besides in early Photoshop versions.

Hi, I have a PB G4 1.67 that Im going to refurbish (new Charger + HD) and install Osx tiger + Mac OS 9. I plan to use it partly to transfer files via a usb floppy drive (wich I dont have but need to purchase) to some older 68k machines. Any pitfalls or problems I need to be aware of?

Well, I dont know if this has been posted here before, the search didnt return anything. Anyway, the topic of configuring a fpga to run 68k mac code has been discussed a couple of times. I didnt know this, but there is a accelerator card solution for the amiga 500 & 600 that uses a...

Kind of like this youtube channel.. he has videos on a little bit of everything that is vintage computer related. https://youtu.be/wXWlJFrX19s

I upgraded my G3/233 dt to a g4 with a zif card, wich looks almost identical to the g3 that it replaces. The card itself is a small pcb with cpu pins underneath, with the cpu itself, some cache memory, semiconductors and a few dipswitches mounted on the top side. I had mine run at a low 350/400...

The more or less complete apple iie setup looks very nice..

Actually, it would be nice to have an updated gpu chart comparison. Comparing all the notebook gpus, pci and agp cards that were ever made for pre osx. Settling on a couple of benchmark routines, and then let the forum members contribute with the results from their own machines. Could be...

Btw... how does the impossible to find 3dfx voodoo 5 5500 pci compare to the top radeon cards? Never seen one, only heard that its the only card that has hardware support for Q3d rave, opengl and glide.

With my Powermac G3 (beige) I upgraded the vram to 6mb on the internal 3d rage II+ then bought a rage 128 16mb, and finally a radeon 7000 32mb. In opengl applications (like quake) there was a difference, but in everyday use, not that much.It depends what you plan to do I guess. Jumped the radeon...

A couple of years ago I was offered 2 Lacie Electron Blue IV 22" flat panels for 50$. I didnt buy them, mainly due to size and wieght. Sometimes I regret that decision.
