I have an idea! Let's start a fight, and give the mods an excuse to lock yet another thread asking about the editing posts policy! For the record, I believe that all of your mothers wear army boots. Second, clearly this board's moderators are free to act however they see fit. They run the...

I bought a similar system when I worked in China. The key selling point was indeed that it came with a bunch of pirated software - one cartridge was advertised as containing 50,000 games. But what was really interesting was that most of the games were pirated games edited with a sprite editor to...

For me, I would say Intel all the way. G5s seem to have a number of reliability issues - from faulty PSUs to liquid cooling systems leaking - if you Google around, you can see images of the aftermath. Not good. Further, the G5s are slow compared to Intel machines - don't know if that is because...

Wow. Not what I expected. The 80s were interesting times.

I stand corrected. I forgot when they started that the Xserve was stuck with G4 chips, so they made their system out of Power Mac G5s and then later upgraded to Xserves when they took advantage of the new chips. Thanks for the link, LCGuy.

Umm. No, it is not a decent price! It doesn't even come with a Floppy Disc Burner!!!

What card was behind the split-screen problem?

Very cool that you got your Power Express working!! So are you using the digibarn ROMs, or did you make your own SIMM? Do you have ROM dumps somewhere?

Yep, add another vote for 1) a description of what it sounds like and 2) a rip.

Wow, I had not seen the AppleCrate before. That is really something. There was a time when this AppleSeed was really useful - you might remember when Virginia Tech made a supercomputer out of a bunch of G4s, but now... even the low end mini has more oomph than a moderately sized cluster of G3s...

Leave it to those Amiga folks to take this de-yellowing talk to the extreme: http://retr0bright.wikispaces.com/ Looks like they involved industrial chemists and plastics engineers who a) blame the bromine used to make this old hardware flame-retardant and B) show how the reaction is actually...

Does this happen with all archives on your 9500? I just stuck my Sonnet 1GHz upgrade in my 9600/200 with a clean install of 7.6.1 (it flies, btw) + the Sonnet extensions, and haven't seen this behavior with the Stuffit files I have (mostly older apps I downloaded).

Whoa, glad to have read this thread. I picked up a Sonnet 1Ghz G4 upgrade, and was debating over trying it in a Kansas / Tsunami 9600. Looks like the Tsunami is the clear winner.

Thanks everyone! The adjacent thread has certainly pointed out some pitfalls of the Kansas-based machines & G4 upgrades. Methinks I'll stick with my Tsunami, and maybe explore ROM making, as trag suggests, so then I could test this further.

Can you post what your squiggly boxes look like. I'm not fluent in Tamil, but when I clicked your link in Safari 3.2.1, I got the following. Looks good to me! I've just got a normal Leopard install, albeit with all languages and international options enabled.

So, everyone says that the Kansas-based x600s are much better than their Tsunami-based brethren. A quick search has told me that: -Kansas machines can support the coveted 604ev CPUs -Kansas machines don't have L2 cache soldered on the motherboard -Kansas machines don't have problems with G3...

Second spam post from our friend lily. Can some admin delete this account?

Did everything you are proposing to do, and I can say that you will not be disappointed. My $9.99 B&W started life as a stock 300 MHz Rev. A, and is now quite happy with maxed ram, a big ATA hard drive, a DVD-RW drive, a Sonnet 1 GHz G4 processor upgrade (finding a cheap one of these was a...

PM if you're looking for a copy.

Yes, please. Thanks!!!
