As a side note, I'm really tempted to plug the first into the wall, then use a monitor cable from out of the back of the first, into the second, and the same for the third, so when i turn the key for the first, they all boot up, but decided that it would probably be a serious risk to power surges and such (and the fact that one power supply can't drive 3 950s!)

One other thing, this place is great. I've been reading a lot of the posts and i can't get enough. This was what a few of us tried to do on the retromac68k news posts, but it never worked out. Most people were there to leech software and nothing else.

Quadra 650

Classic
Newton 130

There's no danger in linking computers unless you go over your power rating - in Australia this is usually 10 amps, and at 240 V this gives 2400 Watts - or about 8 Quadra 950s decked out.

There is a common misconception amoung people that IEC-out connectors on the back of computers are driven by the PSU. In fact, it is simply linked to the mains voltage.

if anybody else has worked on something like this or is willing to construct one, it'd be great to benchmark the clusters and see exactly what a bunch of 68k can really do.

If this is nothing new, let me know so I don't go around making a fool of myself. If it is cool, then i'll make a rubbing of them and identify them and get a some better pics out there. Thanks for any info.

_____________ (can't read signature)
Jonathon Bernard
Steven S Chase
Raymond Lee
Bill Lewis
Jimmy M___ (can't make it out, might be "mato")
Ben P____ (Can't make that out either)

then further down and not in line with the rest is a signature that I can't make out yet, but it looks some like "carlo frible" but I don't think that's right. I made some rubbings and will be scanning them in later. Of course all these names are somewhat a guess, since i'm not looking at them square on, plus they are signatures and difficult to read. The rubbings didn't come out to well, the writings weren't raised enough to get anything from them. I'll keep you all updated.

Is tattletech the best way to go? I've never used it, so i don't know what exactly it will show me. I wanted to know when that machine was made exactly.
