Ultra 5/10s are great machines to get into Sun UltraSPARC hardware. You pretty soon reach the limits though with them, but to make it a bit more viable I recommend this: - Get a SUN SymBIOS SCSI card (has to have a Sun ROM to boot a SPARC) - Get *2* decent UWSCSI drives about 9-18GB. They will...

Up that'll be the one: http://www.solinno.co.uk/images/tux7043140.jpg Looking at the specs it must be a 233MHz

LOL I had that as my wallpaper for a while in the 10.2 days. It's not real either, it was rendered by Pixar, which back in 2002 was considered pretty amazing :)

I have a friend who has a Beige version of that RS/6000 workstation, I think it's a 300MHz too. I have a 7046 B50 2U server here, and while the hardware it pretty awesome (604e/375, 512MB RAM, 2x 9GB, and built like Fort Knox), I've never been a fan of IBM's approach to software. I used AIX 4.3...

IDE hard drive on a 68k Mac... EWWWWWWW I had a 630 for a short time. Why only a short time? Because I bloody hated it. IDE on a 68k CPU sucks at the best of times. All that interrupt polling totally frags any CPU power you might have lying around. I'm a BIG advocate of SCSI on 68k machines for...

http://forums.xlr8yourmac.com/drivedb/search.drivedb.lasso That ought to tell you. Just punch in the drive and the model of your Mac. From memory Pioneer and Sony drives are pretty well supported as Apple use a lot of them in their machines from the factory. I doubt Apple even bother having...

From memory, Intel only started doing integrated video about 2002-3 with the i810. I think before that most intel reference boards used ATi or Cirrus Logic chips. My 1999 era L440GX+ Intel dual PIII server mobo has a Cirrus Logic CL8225 on it. I've not met anything pre-2002 with an Intel Gfx...

Dual PIIIs actually run Linux REALLY well. I used to have a Dual PIII/800 socket 370 board in my Linux machine (I gave it to my dad when I got the Mac Pro) with a GeForce 5700GT graphics card in it. That ran everything in Ubuntu 7.04 with style. A lot of people take for granted the disadvantage...

When I used to use my B&W regularly I dropped a 80GB Seagate Barracuda 7200.10 PATA drive in it with 8MB cache and it made a whole world of difference to the speed. Although PATA is nasty, having an onboard drive that's capable of even just matching the 33MB/s transfer rate of the ATA33 bus...

I'd prefer world peace and an end to 3rd world poverty myself, but since that isn't likely to happen, then I guess my Apple Wireless keyboard will have to do ;)

The idea is you do that to stop yourself blowing your ass off when you take the cup off the CRT. All professionals do it that way. At least if you get a shock when you do it that way you are almost expecting it. Also didn't anyone teach you about 'path of least resistance in high school Physics...

The Radius Thunder-IV drivers include a QuickDraw accelerator extension that speeds up Quickdraw noticeably. There is a hot-key you can hold down to turn it off and on again. I did it on a IIci with a 040/50 in and it made one HECK of a difference to the speed of screen redraws on the desktop...

My biggest gripe with using Panther over Tiger is the version of Safari in Panther is pretty slow and buggy, especially with rendering some more awkward websites.

Not changing orientation of drives after formatting is an old fable that dates back to really early hard drives. It's only something I've heard in relation to VERY early disks (read early to mid 80s) with inaccurately actuated heads and old fashioned bearings. If you turned the drive on it's...

Sure you can... but I'm not gonna give it to you :p

What crisis? I never had a crisis... While we are on the topic of 6100s mine now has nestled in the PDS slot a G4/300 and a HPV card. It runs 9.1 quite sweetly actually - I hooked a 9GB Seagate Cheetah to it and stick 128MB RAM in. It'd make a decent retro-Photoshop machine I think, maybe with...

I have a pretty mint Master 128 somewhere about. I grew up on them and they rock bells. Way better than an Apple II :)

The original 500MHz iBook G3 Dual USB will boot OS9.1 - I own one so I should know, and all subsequent versions mad prior to January 2003 also do. In February 2003 Apple's newly released models (at MacWorld 2003 - iMac G4/800 15" and 1GHz 17") had the fix to stop booting of OS 9. Also all new...

The 9.2.2 drivers probably work in 9.1 or you can use the custom installer application (which I handily forgot the name of!) to install 9.2.2 on a 6500. I did the latter on a Powerbook 3400c to use MSNM on it.

If you drop a Radeon 9200 Mac Edition PCI card in it you should JUST ABOUT get it ito run in OS 9.1. I think I remember using my B&Ws in 9.1 ok, but I don't know how well it's play with an old PCI machine. That card has 128MB VRAM on so it ought to be able to handle 2048x1536.
