FidoNet worked as follows: User runs terminal software and dials his local FidoNet BBS system. Reads his messages, types new messages to other FidoNet subscribers and logs out. Lat…

If so, I'd be interested in how it could be done. More than likely, I have completely misunderstood what I read and simply need to be set straight. Click to expand... Choose a …

the down low is back when you used a terminal emulator to access unix (type) servers, and the whole experience was text based, altho that could be mouse and menu driven, anything b…

Most of the Hyperdrives I've seen had MiniScribe mechanisms, which have 2 LEDs on the front panel, green for power OK / ready, and red for activity. Click to expand... Thank yo…

I've never delved very deep into an InstaTower before, but I'd imagine that if nothing else, there'd be an amplifier in there, since not only is there a knob on the back for adjust…

subwoofer Click to expand... Something I've wondered about - what, apart from the motherboard, is actually required to run the subwoofer? In other words, can the sub be transp…

Since when does being interested in vintage Macs require a degree in computer programming? I'm not frightened, just have no interest in it. There are many folks on these forums who…

Great to see you getting back to your Duo mauling^C^C^C^C improving ways jt. Would it perhaps be more relevant to compare the unimplemented pads to the implemented VRAM in the DDI…

To add to my original post: I will be upgrading to the 8-core Mac Pro when I finally retire my G5. I fully expect 6-7 years of continuous service from such a machine.

Yeah, my 9500's case is pretty much trashed. :-/

There were two MMIs, Microcomputer Memories Inc. (hard disks) and Monolithic Memories Inc. (chips). As the label on your disk says, it was made by MMI in Van Nuys, California, a sm…

My 9500 had the whole back piece fall off because all the plastic holding it to the shell broke off. The 6 case screws are the only things holding the back on now.

how much further can ANY software company go with OS's... I mean really OS's are ment to RUN programs... Look at some people who are still running OS 6 on a mac classic or a SE/30…

I don't think that's a Hyperdrive 512k but if it is the Hyperdrive is probably still in there - it'd be way more effort to remove one than to leave it in. I have a Plus with a Hyp…

I still have no way to bridge the output from MacTerminal to the Internet and vice/versa. Which was the whole point. Click to expand... I thought you had a Mac OS X box in betw…

I'd love it if there was a KIP/MacIP based package that you could use on a Mac 512K (no, a 128K will never cut it) to access a Unix box. I've tried it, and I have exchanged mail wi…

The 9500 is possibly the worst of the PCI PowerMac family, owing to case inaccessibility. Click to expand... Indeed. Getting out the motherboard is a real pain. The plastic is …
