What are you using to print those things?

I was assigned an SE for use in the office in my first academic post (91-2). Macs were used in my field because of WorldScript, mainly. By that time at home, mind, I had been using a cheap PC/XT clone. I much preferred the Mac, though that SE was slow. A colleage had what we thought was a crazy...

Regular Ethernet cabling is all you need, assuming we are talking of the same dongle. Looks like an oversized AAUI transceiver.

One good turn deserves another…. I wrote a Master’s thesis in Canada in 1983, drafting on a typewriter for months and months, but towards the end using the University mainframes via the terminal to write it up, do the edits and get the thing submitted. I seem to recall that the writing was done...

7.1 is very quick on a 68040 and is also very stable. 7.5 is fine on 68k but meh. 7.5.3 will run almost as fast as 7.1 if you turn most of the fluff and bloat off (e.g., QuickDraw GX and the ‘talk me through how to do things’ — the name of which escapes me presently — Extensions/ Control...

I have read that heat reforming of an old wiper blade is possible, the point being simply to increase tension.

Well that sure is disappointing!

I like your table idea! You must have an interesting life to find bits of supersonic fighter jets falling out of the sky onto your sofa. A question: On the benchmarks, is there a difference in CPU scores running from the SSD versus a spinner? E.g., how does your machine compare with standard...

Thank you for this. It is nice to see the G5 (and one of the humbler versions of it at that) get some love on here. I like mine. What I want to know, though, is what machine you are cooling with that fan on the sofa!

I looked for one of these to no avail on eBay for years several years back, so I’d love to know what I am missing. Keep the benchmarks coming!

Where you have an air-cooled G5 with working logic board, etc, fan problems can mainly be resolved by replacing heatsink compound and (ideally) subsequent recalibration of the fans by means of the available service utility. My dual 2.3 is whisper quiet even under load.

Why would you do that, given how well the stock fans perform?

I think the RasterOps card did well on Photoshop filters and the like, which is what mattered in segments of the graphics industry — this being the primary market for all of these very expensive graphics cards back in the day. I don’t know that anyone was especially interested in frame rates...

And another one:

I believe that Radius and Lapis both made SE video cards capable of driving up to a two page display, so some digging in those veins may be useful. However, the trouble with these cards (as often for the SE/30 too) is that the connector may be proprietary, or even something as unfamiliar to our...

Yes, but that won’t work in an SE.

Looks like you hit the overview button, the big dot at bottom right.

Yo-yo power adapters in my experience are very prone to failure. The wires break at the flex points, especially at the adapter end, in where the sun don’t shine and the thing is nigh impossible to repair. I’d try another adapter or test the thing before resorting to further, possibly...

I personally think a PB180 with a working screen is a unique piece of vintage tech that is hard to beat. The screen is the thing; until you have seen one of those in full glory, you’ve not understood the appeal. It is simply magnificent. AND it is actually more legible outdoors in full sun...
