PowerBook 5300 — #3

It's amazing to me how many people left 7.5, 7.5.1, and 7.5.2 installed without upgrading. I've received several PowerBooks that were still running versions <7.5.3, and I b…

Assembling the Fastest OS 9 Machine — #41

Assembling the Fastest OS 9 Machine — #40

As far as I know Macs never got the 9700 and the ones flashed were flashed with modded 9800 ROMs. Macs did get the 9600 but it did not go well with OS 9 either.

I don't know if it is "properly" supported, but it works for me. All resolutions and color depths are available, and 2D seems pretty fast. I don't run 3D games, so I can't say whet…
