I kinda have to agree on the lack of automatic MACs, and although a bit unrelated I've seen many stories both from reddit specifically and much earlier on from web in general regarding dhcp-and-static mixed networks becoming quite flunky because someone decided to blindly set a static ip that...

@NJRoadfan hmm well..naturally because its still a pre-G3 logic board and everything? :->

might be offtopic but still, read on; as I recall 7.6 was supposed to be updated one more time (after having had been 7.5x then before that 7.1, etc) but apple was starting to take a dim view of clones and not surprisingly one of the best way to work out the legalese was to simply not make it a...

geeze this reminds me of the printshop for apple's (rather than mac's) from a long time ago re family computer .. and like ymk said it is quite very much good at folded cards and even "as long as your fanfold paper supplies can take" banners

@finkmac its been some time so I forgot where I had actually seen it but someone on a different forum somewhere had a silly signature that said "want to hide something? *surprised smiley* put it in plain sight! *cowboy yeehawing smiley*" (the two faces only made it a bit more funny to look at...

@Zhinü don't mind my slight long of a helpful answer for you: yeah if there is a wired lid on a scanner its generally most likely for to do negatives/slides with (among a few rare other things the active backlit is useful for) .. at least naturally you can simply unplug the lid itself whenever...

considering that the two 1.33ghz models were discounted sales-wise in 2005 or 2006, I had never ever thought to check that specific part of the system profiler last year and only finally did look at it this month while testing around the ibook itself for a bit and.. it turns out theres only 252...

@paws many of the times the bigger models gets used for when precision over a longer distance was warranted like say a long piece in cad (especially if partially copying an existing blueprint paper too) .. but to draw a cartoon head bust etc the smaller adb-powered ones were more than good...

@noglin well the pinout is already known (as long as you're mindful of that theres two variations of it aka nubus versus pci slide-in) and theres equally some 3d prints of it around too. as for the siderails hmm well I mean technically in a custom case you don't really need these unless you...

@Zhinü just one simple thing to know about with the wacoms if you had never used them before, if you don't load any extension the tablet simply acts like a 1:1-to-the-screen basic mouse. but install [and then still boot with] the wacom extension successfully and you now can do additional things...

yeah david that was basically mfs which not surprisingly aptly was short for 'macintosh file system' no? (and I'm guessing it not surprisingly didn't actually last for that long solo as hfs came out a relatively short time later. of course 'hierarchical' not surprisingly really stood for what it...

that doesn't surprise me @waynestewart as I barely could see any use for it considering that I could in theory do a host>supraexpressmodem>wacomtablet>keyboard>auxpad>mouse chain without needing any special outside extras to make it physically fit together

theres no problem with splitters etc as its a passive bus in a manner speaking, beside if you looked at any smaller wacom tablets you'll note that its indeed very much a Y splitter too (just the wacom cord is hardwired into one leg of the splitter itself)

and @AC Rempt just in case you ever think of them i'll mention this for now.. the zip drive is basically in three generations with variations in each 100mb both internal (scsi or ide) and external altogether were somewhat equally common, you have to be a bit cautious with external ones tho due...

sorry @croissantking good thing this wasn't a pm conversation, I guess I had a bit of brainfart at night after a tiring day regarding the 'hardwired' ribbon-to-slotconnector setup the performas had. and either way interesting regarding the mid-life swap with re the beige g3 zips

you probably could, you'll just have to see what kind of flexibility your current case setup has tho re rerouting the ribbons. as for zip drive, as far as I know it indeed is likely ide (as the non-beige towers later on provided it as a factory option too and they have no scsi controller...

@AC Rempt to put it mildly, anything thats a g3 or says 'performa' by default are routed to use ide for cdrom's (clones are another matter as by default some would route this to scsi and yet many routes this to ide instead) .. although in theory you could still use a scsi one if you reroute...

not to be rude posting this but that repo site above is basically a thieving shrill. this more friendly site has 2.1.7 available just as a footnote https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/pc-setup-pc-compatibility-card

ecc ram was only supported with 970fx based xserves and 970mp based powermacs right? I can't seem to have found any reference to ecc ram for 970fx powermacs otherwise so am just curious about whats quite correct after all (I did noticed wikipedia said that there were two different northbridges...

I have to add that unless you specifically wanted the voodoo 1-or-2 physically due to your specific existing graphic setup it indeed does seem a lot cheaper to skip over the voodoo3/newer in favour of the newest setup-compatible single-slot geforce you can find as you not only get to wrap glide...
