Your thoughts on multi-boot systems — #16

Yeah, I always keep my data and os on separate partitions. It is really useful for if a system screws up or you want to upgrade the os and would prefer to do a clean install.

It's towards the front center and the speaker is towards front right IIRC. So sort of. No it's a memory board like socket. No clue. I know that unless both are good it won't tu…

Is the ROM card by the speaker? If the ROM is soldered to the board, is it by the batteries? Why does it have two batteries? I am going by 'fuzzy' pictures, so it is hard to tel…

Powerbook 1400 Browsing Speed — #10

Browsing on the 1400 when connecting with an Ethernet card via the PC Card slot is always going to be slow, because it is a 16 bit card cage. I know there is an internal ethernet …

Blueberry iBook Clamshell £21 on eBay — #11

I managed to get it working after some research. It looks like Western Digital drives can't be used with the jumper in the neutral position. They must be assigned as either master …

Titanium 1GHz and OS9 — #5

I just bought a "new" (for me!) 1 GHz TiBook this month, and yes, it screams in OS 9. It will only run a later version of 9.2.2. And as for speed of indexing files, it is not too b…
