On other laptop types, I've used lubricant of some kind, usually the same stuff I'd use to lubricate disk drives, or keyboard microswitches.

Without quoting anything in particular, I have an XLR8 G4, it's clocked in at 500Mhz, I put a fan on it because it makes an uncomfortable amount of heat in a beige G3 tower case. I also have the BUS speed up to 83Mhz, which seems to matter more than increasing the CPU clock any higher. I'll try...

I have one of these in a beige G3, it's really good. Set the jumpers appropriately, and it can really fly.

Crashing some ways through install is often a RAM issue, at least I've observed.

It's crazy to see them fall as low as 200USD. A 12-core CPU and D700 can boil water though.

Here's to hoping, having USB and Firewire on one card would be great. Limited room in those things.

For a hot second, I could get into a Gmail account, but that hasn't been an option for a good while. I've tried a bunch of other Email providers too, and older Email programs can't get into those either. Even if there was a less secure provider, I could just forward things to that and get them...

SMTP relay? I'll have to look into that. I miss the days where I would/could read and answer Emails on my Palmtop, then sync it later. No modern Email client has the ability to talk to a Palmtop, so it'll have to be an older machine, with an unsupported Email client. I just want it to work. :[

I reserve macOS 8 and beyond for PowerPC, I never got 8 running well on a 68k Mac. I'm also interested in any differences in the point releases on a 68k Mac.

I've done something similar, and quite a bit lower budget. The normal fan blows air out through the bottom, but if you flip the fan it'll blow air into the case, but it also makes it much louder. I angled the fan backwards and made a duct out of tape. Bringing air into the case alone cools...

With my own, I did the 33Mhz overclock because it was easy to do, just swap 2 component positions and it's done, put a small heat sink on the processor and it's all good. I also installed a new fan and flipped it upside down, the fan normally pulls air out of the bottom of the chassis, now it...

Absolutely going to look into these. I'd gladly take a flavor os Linux that's somewhat up to date.

I used MintPPC on a G5 many years ago, it was actually pretty slick. At the time, it had the most up to date web browser, it ran DosBox better than OS X could, but I don't think it had any GPU acceleration at all, which makes sense for Linux.

Excited!

I can't get it to make on a Raspberry Pi, but my 2013 MacBook Pro did it after installing some stuff. Not ideal, but I think I can make it work still.

I'll look into it this evening if I can find the time. Looking at the files/config, I think I know how it's supposed to be used, but I wouldn't turn my nose at any advice.

Update on this, I'm pretty sure I'm not doing anything wrong, but it's still not working. The routing is working because every time I change a port or to/from IP I get a different error, possibly the cert is wrong but I'm unsure. I've tried Gmail, Yahoo and ProtonMail, none of them like it.

Anyone know if this still works, or will work? I've tried it, but I think I'm doing something wrong. Trying to receive mail on a Gmail account so I can sync them all to my Palm Pilot.

It will be a bit before I can try, but how does this work network-wise?

The combination of using an iron and one of those handheld solder suckers worked well, and some flux, and a LOT of patience. I kinda want to swap out the clock crystal and see what it will do, maybe bump it up to 33Mhz, but it's still on a 16Mhz bus so I doubt it'll be worth it if it works.
