    Drive setup help needed for 128GB dual-boot (7.5.3 + 8.1)

    The earlier system the better/faster than newer system. ie. on 68k Mac 8.1 was slow to perform over System 7.1 which is tons faster. As what Gorgonops is correct. Some Macs doesn't like dual booting - your 1400c is more likely will accept dual booting. That is why I have Macs there with...

    What is the file extension of Classic Mac OS applications?

    yep that above. If you have windows/DOS disk that you want to use - you'll need PC File Exchange control panel installed on that Mac to recognise file format coming in, it'll convert to whatever needed to be. Cheers AP

    PB190, is it the worst? (Probably).

    Growing up - I had PowerBook 190cs and later upgraded to 5300cs, later found 5300ce sold it all off (regretted!) Last year I obtained two PowerBook 190s and both are working well. About 4 years ago I did obtain PowerBook 5300cs and it just crumbled into pieces - very bad plastics and it had...

    I have both logicboards - Quadra 650 and 800. The only difference visually I can see is that 800 board has connector for external LED and jumper to activate Q800, without it it'll become Quadra 650. The other difference is that Q650 does not have that connector, I added it on it and it does...
