I have read reports in the past of the onboard ethernet for Yosemitie and Yikes (the worst culprits) boards going very wrong, it may be time to get a PCI ethernet card. I'm assumi…

For the last few weeks the built-in ethernet on this little beast has not provided an IP address. Renewing the DHCP lease does nothing as well. I've tried different Cat5 ethernet…

Well written 68000 should happily run on an Power PC running Mac OS. I have happily run 68k programs on System 9.2 under Tiger.

I suppose if the programs are written for PowerPC, they should be able to run. As for the pricing of the computer, it isn't bad. They are quite capable and the DV version, IIRC, h…
