I like the font it's engraved in. :-D

congrats! I've got an old Omega enlarger from the 60s here that I drag out from time to time... it's hard to find time to get in the darkroom and so most of what I'm doing has gone digital, but it's such an enjoyable way to spend the afternoon! I hope you have tons of fun with it.

I used one of these in the bay of my PowerBook 5300 for a while and I could *swear* that the Iomega driver found it. I do recall that I needed to use Iomega Guest to load/unload the driver whenever I'd wake the powerbook from sleep. That, combined with the fact that I didn't actually have much...

they might be raw disk images, made with the dd command on a UNIX box. You might try writing them out to floppies using dd on a UNIX machine or rawrite.exe on a DOS/Win machine...

My guess is that they're ShrinkWrap disk images. Try mounting them with ShrinkWrap or a newer version of Stuffit Expander (5.5)

Sad! My in-laws have a dual coppermine 840. Why 840? 'Cuz the 440BX dual-slot-1 board they have can only reliably overclock its bus to 112MHz. 1GHz slot-1 PIIIs with 133 bus are really really cheap, but the 100MHz bus ones are very expensive. So, I'm overclocking the bus and underclocking the...

The CF MicroDrives are pretty good in the sense that they're tiny, fairly reliable hard drives. They're not nearly as fast as good flash cards, but you don't have to worry about wearing them out by overwriting one particular sector too much. I worry about the service lives of their tiny little...

Post pics. With some of the electronics folks on this board, I bet we can guess at its intended purpose with some degree of accuracy!

It looks like Netscape 2 to me. It's probably the best choice for a really old browser. It supports most of the simple things you expect, like pictures and tables and forms, but is so old it ignores most of what wouldn't be well-supported anyway, like CSS. Also, it's rockingly fast.

Awesome. Please let us know how it does; I recommend using the ones shaped like this and then finding a way to make it lay down, just like you suggested. 'slightly longer SCSI cable' is probably the answer :-D Please let the rest of us know how it goes; I've been advocating for this approach...

I loved my QuickTake 150! Sold it on eBay after I got my Kodak DC-50 because I was tired of having to hook up via serial cable.

There's many of these on eBay of various shapes and sizes. What kind of IDE connector is on your IDE->SCSI board? Would it be better for the CF-IDE adaptor to have a right-angle connector so the IDE->SCSI and CF->IDE boards were parallel (90 + 90 = 180) or for the CF-IDE adaptor to be...

I like that Ultra of yours. I'm a network admin and needed a new work box; I very nearly got a 4x450 Ultra 80 but settled for an OpenBSD/AMD64 machine because the Sun is so loud. I still wonder if I made the right choice. :-D

That's very exciting. Is there any software out there to burn DVDs using a 68k Mac with it? Toast DVD 3 requires PowerPC... :-(

grats! Does it require authoring-mode discs?

s-l-o-w-l-y is the correct answer to this question. One can do floating-point calculations with a fixed-point CPU using special techniques. I believe that one can emulate a full 68040 on the 68000 Macs by using available software: run 020 Simulator, then run Pseud040 and SoftFPU on top of that...

Dude, that terminal is awesome! I hope you can figure out what to do with it while you're sitting around basking in the cool of the black 5500.

I know that a cheapie CAD program, 'Key CAD Complete' has built-in drivers for several kinds of plotters...

In the US they're somewhat rare, too. Not 'XCEED Greyscale rare' or even 'IIsi ROM SIMM rare' but they are somewhat hard to find. I'd call them uncommon. They go for a moderate price, usually around USD30. There's one or two eBay sellers who always have one listed for USD75 but I think that...

do you mean the fancy ZIF for the StarMax 603e clones that used a ZIF, or do you just mean for a normal PowerMac G3-style ZIF? If it's the latter, anybody's cache enabler should work, not just Interware's.
