    Terrible IIsi

    Clean the board and keep it until you find someone who needs experience in basic soldering. This will be good board to practice on: removing components, adding components and so on. I was given a damaged Classic board for this very purpose and I can testify to their usefulness.

    PowerCenter 150 CPU Upgrade - Dual Processor?

    You should have a look at the Radius Rocket NuBus card. It was essentially a 68040 computer within a mac with NuBus slots (Mac II or Quadra). It's not SMP but it did allow two processors to be used by a user simultaneously back in the early 1990s albeit for different tasks.

    Error in Gamba's documentation?

    I got OS 8.1 up & running on my IIfx and I'm pretty certain I followed Gamba's instructions. It runs well with 32MB RAM. My install is here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mac-os-81-a-mac-iifx-or-maybe-just-a-68030 I haven't tried it on a IIci yet but it might work.

    Wings card. Performance enhancement?

    In the past, as fast a disk as possible came recommended. A SATA card and SSD may help matters.

    Lucky you. We eventually did a second line in. I managed to get us on the ADSL trial for the city of Dublin in 2001 and it was the beginning of modern Internet usage for me: 5-8KB/s downloads, no cost (during the trial) / low cost (monthly flat rate after that) and no fighting for the phone line.

    Don't forget the fact that it was probably on a dial-up modem back then (14.4 maybe) and that you paid a local-call rate for every minute you were online. Not only that, but the phone-line was blocked and other people in the house would complain if you hogged the line too long. Bill users to get...

    Would it be cheaper to buy the material and find a seamstress who can sew it up for you? You'd have to live without the label though.

    I'm getting more autistic with age: reading what I want to appear as against what is actually written. Meh. Sorry about that.

    SCSI Zip Drives?

    Well, if you are interested. Send me a PM and I'll see if it still works. Does it have to external or is internal OK? The plug may be a problem

    SCSI Zip Drives?

    Try @hellslinger. I may have one a working one but I'm in Switzerland. If he doesn't, check eBay every day and set up a rule for it.

    Best QS G4 AGP card?

    Is Mac OS 9 important? The nVidia GeForce Ti 4600 is often given as the best AGP card that supports Mac OS 9 [1]. The ATi Radeon 9000 is, by no means, a bad card [2]. It also supports Mac OS 9. The last AGP cards with an ADC port to come with an G5 was either the Radeon 9600 XT [3] or the...

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    So, the message we're giving the OP is to type two spaces after the end-of-sentence-point and then use the auto-correct to remove them?

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    It is indelicate to talk about periods (or fanny packs, for that matter) in polite conversation.
