cinemafia Guerrilla Recon Leader USA 2965 Posts	Posted - 28 Mar 2002 : 12:13:21 I used to have really cool Mac-related desktops, too. But, then MacDesktops.com went down...and now it's hard to find decent 1600x1200 Mac-related pics anymore. Also, this stupid Win box only supports 16-bit color at 1600x1200, so i have to make the pics fairly simple or they look bad. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear!

I think I will! Tomorrow I should have copied the ROMs from all of my 68ks to a FTP server so I can get them here at work, then I'm going to run Basilisk II under each and see what I can and cannot do with it. It's really made for Win NT & 2000, but works in 98 with a few options unavaiable. The box I have here at work runs NT 4 and 98, but the NT side has no access to installing software, etc., so I have to try it on the 98 side only. If nothign else, it'll be great for 68k games, but I'd like to see if it can run more intensive apps. 666th poster and 666th thread-creator Mod of the Mac II series Forums Total 68K Macs liberated: 7 Regular Disappear!
