The Mother of All Conquests

full '040s
IC-China on ebay?
He hasn't had any for ages
The last time I saw him with any, he had two 40 mhz and I bought both of them. I think he wanted $15 each for them, but that has to be about a year to a year and a half ago.

And I agree about Amiga users ruining the market for cheap parts for us Mac users.

As for the Daystar Diskrunner, I know next to nothing about it.

What machine would a Diskrunner be well paired with? I would have thought that, by the time of the IIci, say, it would have been redundant. Or is there a use for it even in 1990s hardware?

 
Another thing is the heat as well...not such a problem in Winter, but in the middle of Summer it gets bloody hot in a car boot...my Dad leaves his work laptop in the boot of his car all the time and I'm surprised the heat hasn't damaged it.
Definitely. I left a Dell Optiplex (covered in black plastic) in the back of the car for about 2 days (in the middle of summer, in Melbourne...) and when I went to collect it it was little more than a warped mass of black and grey plastic. Another issue is that with the older macs, moving them from a hot to cold environment constantly causes the plastic to brittle - hence my beige Plus cracking in several places when I went to pry it open! Weather and computers don't mix...

Same here, but I do seem to recall someone else here extolling their virtues. I'll see if I can dig up the thread.

Meanwhile, software here - maybe it has a readme or a manual in the download.
