They were pretty popular in schools. I haven't looked for any recently, but schools were littered with them (and LC II's) in the 90's.

The LCIII wasn't quite as common as the LCII, for one thing it cost a bit more than the LCII, but I'd think it was still a bit common. My Dad bought an LCIII back in 1993, and I re…

I'm wondering how popular the LC III was (or not)? Reason, I don't encounter hardly any of them where I look. Even on ebay they seem scarce. I figured, I want one of those since …

The Amiga used some software patches to get the 68060 to work, Apple could have done something in ROM to get around it. An old thread here mentioned Daystar didn't see a major spee…

Well, it won't run faster (apart from now having cache working of course) unless you change the jumper settings.

The 68040 didn't include all the functionality of a 68030+68882, either. (In particular, the 68040's FPU is missing hardware support for IEEE transcendental functions.) The differe…

Wait: if this is all about testing OS X browsers, why do you need OS X Server at all? Click to expand... The issue is he wants to stay "legal" within the letter of the "law", …

We are trying to find a way to test various mac browsers through the mac os's without having the extra equipment available. I know how to get this done, but I didn't know osx serv…

This list is not exhaustive, but it is very long, and might help some of us trying to identify old upgrades: http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-13220825/buyers-guide-upgra…

Except the 060 doesn't use exactly the same instruction set, from what I've read, but rather a subset.

Yeah, I mounted it on my G5 and moved it back over to the 9600. It's working now. Not much faster than before but at least I'm running a G3 now.

And I found this: By Jonathan A. Oski The Mac is tackling many tasks that were not thought possible just a couple of years ago, but there are many areas where timesaving imp…

Daystar RAM PowerCard. Click to expand... Thanks for the actual product name. A Google search turned up this page: http://www.linkology.com/daystar/ however, all the links …

Nice find! I would love that Mac OS X Server 1.0 (Rhapsody) disk. I can't seem to find those anywhere.

Welcome to the forums. Good to see younger folks picking up the same interests. Me, not a frequent poster here but certainly reading along. I got myself into classic Macs some yea…

You know that might work.... I still have a few Proliant 5000 units. At least they are Compaq beige. They would fit right in at 7U in height, and once stripped are an incredible…

Somebody from the old IRC channel has the 840AV version of a RAM card that used 8 x 72 pin SIMMs (32MB max each for 256MB total). I think Newer technology sold it. It was pretty fa…

I have seen only one of these, on eBay a few years back. It sold for something outrageous even then, before the prices of nubus-era equipment began to go up. As I recall, the writ…

I tried installing a 400mhz processor I pulled from a B&W G3 and it didn't work at all. (I assume the bus speeds are wildly different) Click to expand... B&W bu…

Daystar RAM PowerCard. I'm pretty sure it was not addressable as system memory, just as RAM disk, print spool, and disk cache. FWIW I have been searching for this and any similar …

This tech note:http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/technotes/hw/hw_520.html states that: "There is no way that the Macintosh operating system can recognize NuBus RAM an…

The only way I can even think of would be to run a PC hardware emulator like QEMU or Virtual PC, then run "Hackintosh" OS X inside that. It would be dog-slow, though. (Hrm... Yo…

We are only allowed to place rack units in the data center I've tried micro-atx boxen clipped to the side of the racks behind panels and got whacked for that pretty hard. Still…
