Just to let everyone know, the server is back up and its now hosted on OS X instead of Vista.

If you can afford an active matrix display, get one. Even compared to recent displays the 1400c is quite nice and usable.

Just opened my Powerbook 1400 cs/166 which admittedly has been sitting idle for a while to find my LCD totally splintered not a happy bunny ... I have found various sites selling …

That should be 'of'. Dammit, I can't edit.

Gussie Fink-Nottle is, in the inimitable words or Bertie Wooster, a 'Newt fancier'. As Jeeves might put it, however, the MessagePad appellation is of my own invention.

Sorry for interrupting with non-Newton talk, but Gussie Fink-Notle?! Awesome! Did you make that up? Long time fan of P. G. Wodehouse here... Peace, Drew

Attention all 'Gussie Fink-Nottles'! Eckhart Köppen's new fix for the 2010 problem on the Newton MessagePad 2100 is now available here. Development is, I gather, also underway for…

I should correct the above: this is a 802.11b card, not g.

Hi: Yes, the card I used works under Classic Mac, even with Apple's stock Airport software. It even does 128 bit encryption under OS 9.x.x How did I find it? I looked and resea…

What? You found an 11b/11g card that works in OS 9? As far as I know, the Agere/Avaya/Lucent/Orinoco/WhoeverTheyAreToday chipset is 11b only. Apple moved to a Broadcom chipset f…

The wifi card will work under OS X, and it is 802.11g - it's an OEM Orinoco, a generic version of Apple's Airport Card used in their laptops. I have also installed the wifi into a…

I use FreeDOS for my DOS software like GEM.

You're probably right. I have an 8.1 CD, but not one for plain old 8.

A beige G3 is 8.1 and above isn't it?

I downloaded PCSetup 1.6.4, then updated it to 2.1.7. I think the oldest MacOS that will run on the beastie is 8.

Could possibly be an OS issue (I think this card came out when OS 7.5.3 was current and HFS was normal). Did you go to Apples website and download the latest software for that setu…

It is currently set for 1023MB. Both drives are formatted as HFS Extended.

Check both drives for bad sectors. How big are you making those virtual drives?

wackymacs, is your server located in a residential area? I can't seem to download from it any faster than 10 to 20 kilobytes per second. The mirror is no better; it started at roug…

I run the mirror for machut. It's at home and uses 6mbit download and 40kB upload. It's used for other stuff too, so you can get pretty low speeds. However, a slow download is bet…

I wasn't really expecting that sound track, tbh. Neat photo montage, anyway. I don't think I'd bother with the WiFi hack; I actually have type III PC cards to use, and I'd rather …

I have a Beige G3/400 with 128MB RAM, a 9GB SCSI hard disk and a 3GB IDE hard disk. It also has a PC Compatibility card (Pentium 166) with 80MB RAM (16MB built-in + 64MB DIMM), a …

Ok, the video is in reference to: 1. Yuplan keyboard install 2. 96 MB RAM install 3. CardBus hack 4. Internal Wifi installation Exciting? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R8HPs…

Thanks, Luddite already hit me up. For all other confused folks, just borrow/steal a windoze machine and run the SHK over in Ciderpress, it's not too bad. Read the manual to find o…

For others: ProTERM can be downloaded from here: http://lostclassics.apple2.info/downloads/?dl_cat=10 For arfink: Tony Diaz promised to post disk images of ProTERM: http://groups.…
