    What to do with a Powermac 9600/200MP

    hmm I do wonder if any video software ever supported dual cpu pre-osx or not as for the cpu upgrade don't mind if I'll again refer to earlier discussions, its a bit pointless neutering a 9600mp that way rather than saving the cpu upgrade for a vanilla 9600 instead

    What to do with a Powermac 9600/200MP

    byrd won't a g3 basically neuter it from a 9600mp into just being a 9600 otherwise? and..herd it appears that '200dp' is mentioned in the netbsd/macppc list although whatever actually support it has is not noted tho

    What to do with a Powermac 9600/200MP

    well..rather than games..how about the few things that did actually try use the second cpu? so basically graphic rendering (and even certain versions of photoshop does count too as far as I recall) you could try have some fun with in fact since you can easily revert to the 'historically...

    a silly tale related to compact macs on thinnet?

    @Durosity yeah its almost a very typical case of "I didn't do anything!" lie that seemingly a lot of people do (and thankfully as even some reddit tech tales have backed this up with: some techs are smart enough to keep logging of everything plus implenting per-user security measures and easily...

    Misusing the AirPort card slot?

    durosity, to our own possibly-hot personal opinion here but funny enough I always thought its use was sometimes somewhat backward re that the small laptop got almost nothing useful and as usual no means to add it either, while the large counterpart had too many ports of all type all over it yet...

    What's inside an original [10100] Cayman Gatorbox?

    maybe CE7 was meant to be a fat component except in this particular variation of the board it wasn't required yet however to avoid a dead circuit they had to use something else(small) to keep the circuit working? (and beside note how CB02 and CB03 on the serial/localtalk board itself are very...

    Apple ImageWriter - anyone know why it's so **** heavy?

    as a footnote re dot matrix workhorse .. and you wonder why many offices would shove the carbon copy printer into a little one-bare-light-bulb-in-the-middle storage-like "closet" room of its own with a good door closing this space off from the hallway/openfloor/whatever .. as that thing...

    iBook Clamshell - colour of OS interface

    why am I not surprised it would be aptly named 'yum' as beside it seem like a lot of the non-white g3's were based on some kind of food name colour-wise so yeah "yum me some blueberries please" anyone? heh..don't mind me..

    Um, what cable is this?

    yeah that figures when you realize that the three thick pins (or "stubs"?) are for colours so omit extras and you have a cable that basically is black-or-white choice of colour all alone or in this case black-or-green
