Any browser for 68k Macs that can view deviantart? — #4

Both iCab and Netscape 4.0 will work on DeviantArt. I have accessed it via my LC475 in the past. It ain't pretty and it ain't fast, but it's better than a kick in the nuts. Just…

That's all fine and dandy, but what I want to know is when the second issue is coming out! Perhaps I'll save my review of my Model 100's REX upgrade for the next installme…

Rescued a 512k today. WTB a pristine system disk? — #14

No sweat. I really appreciate this. As for versions, I think System 4.1 was the last version to support the 512k M0001, am I right? Whatever is supported will be cool. Thanks aga…

No misunderstanding with me. However some people bristle at the idea of paying for these things when most of us are willing to donate what is essentially a very inexpensive item fo…

Early Mac schematic — #16

My experience is that digital boards rarely fail, and a classic Mac that doesn't boot nearly always has analog problems. Click to expand... All of the dead 128k digital boards …

Oh, good catch. I didn't know that. I've upgraded my Color Classic to an LC 575. It's pretty darn sweet.

Rescued a 512k today. WTB a pristine system disk? — #11

I hope I'm not causing a misunderstanding. I did ask where to buy classic system disks. I just had two offers to pick up some disks. Make no mistake, I'm happy to pay for these.

Early Mac schematic — #15

There are notes on the digital schematic of which parts are not present on the 128K board. The two boards are alike except the RAM array on the 512 obviously has 256K chips instead…

And that's why I posted links to Rescue My Classic Mac. Were all pretty busy and/or aren't prepared to burn a disk at any given time. Charity only seems to go as far as convenience…

You can't use an LC580 board on an LC520 without performing some major major surgery - the LC520 (and LC550/575, and Colour Classic/Colour Classic II) use a different motherboard e…
