lol, thread necromancy

Fun little benchmark. My PowerBook scored 5714.3 Dhrystones per second. Apparently, my PB180c is about as fast as an IBM PS/2 Model 56. :)

So. I'm set to conquest a 7200 this week. From what I understand, a 7200 is basically a 7500 without the daughtercard, and limited expansion possibilities. ISTR the 7500 and 8500 boards are quite similar. Are they similar enough that I could drop an 8500 logic into a 7200 case and have a...

Oooh! Oooh! I'm in Sydney! I can /totally/ do this. Except I don't have any 800K disks. :p

Excellent, I'll compile that later today. Cheers mate. I've just downloaded that, I'll have to try it out. It's frustrating not having the same sort of click-to-place schematic editing I enjoy on Unix. Haha! No hope there, sorry. It's a model recent enough that Linux barely supports it, even...

So. Yeah. I have some requests. I don't want you to give me software, though that would be nice - what I'm after is information. I have an OS 9 machine set up, and I need to know what software will work for the following functions: Schematic Capture (gschem and kicad on linux, eagle on...

mcdermd: You've participated in the finest art known to forumgoing man: thread necromancy. Apple Desktop Collection Apple Portables Both courtesy of the Iconfactory. If you want to sift through some other awesome sys7/8/9 icons, start at this page and work your way forward. Hope this helps! :)

Do you mean the flyback transformer? If so that's a standard part across the compact Macs. I might have a spare one here, not sure what it'd cost to ship to you though.

The SE/30 didn't come with a keyboard. You had to choose between the Apple Standard Keyboard (M0116) or the Apple Extended Keyboard (M0115). The mouse that was used with the SE/30 was the typical angular mouse, G5431 or A9M0331. Hope this helps. :b&w:

I remember having a similar issue with a 575, without having shoved it in a CC ;) The solution in that case was to use a comm slot ethernet card, I'm sorry to say. Others may have better ideas, but it's probably time for a WTB in the Trading Post.

Fair enough. Well done!

No, no. More like Netscape Navigator to Classilla's Netscape Communicator. But yes, for OS 8.6 and 9. Well, you see, I have this strong suspicion that the sort of people who make Web 2.0 sites and use AJAX and do things that need eleventy million megahertz to render properly tend to be the same...

Just a point of order: Classilla isn't slow. Not by any stretch of the imagination. CPU-tailored builds may not actually be able to do much, I'm afraid. The issue isn't with Classilla's use of the CPU, it's actually pretty performant even on a 225MHz 603, and on a 400MHz G3 it screams. The...

Are you sure that Universal card supports Mac 800K drives?! If so, I might want to buy one off you, if you could part with it for such a reasonable price as you acquired the pair >_>

I, too, have this issue with my LC Monitor, and would like to know if it can be repaired.

I strongly recommend CF'ing a 1400, it's a nice little performant laptop, and that's what I'll be doing when I get mine (hopefully wednesday or a few days after). Also, passive CF-IDE adapters (both 44 and 40-pin) can be had from buyincoins.com - they will provide free shipping and are so cheap...

Let's assume that this is a backup, and that your original disc got destroyed in Katrina or Irene or your kitten's paws or something (I'm being generous here). There is a very simple solution to your problem. Make use of a friend's mac (intel or ppc, doesn't matter.) Install Roxio Toast...

Get a Sonnet Crescendo 7200 for $30 new, install some RAM, run OS 8.6.

Hey there! I've been following PlusToo with some interest, by the way. C38 is a metallised paper capacitor, I believe - you used to see that sort of cap in older telephones (rotary dialing types) all the time. You should be able to replace it with a metallised polyester cap of suitable voltage...

Well LC575, this is amazing. You're making me look bad with how fast you're porting data over! I am working on a similar project but in book form, perhaps with some editorialising - my own personal cut-off is the introduction of the New World ROM (so, about 1998). Don't you love that now...
