I think you're right. Oddly it did work under System 6, it just caused everything else to have errors. Where can I grab the latest 3.x.x version? I assume that they're freew…

You never know - companies are still buying them, so it's just a matter of time before some older product becomes "obsolete" and the chips work their way onto eBay. Or if a company…

Tempest, Bear in mind that version 4.01 was written during System 7's era. It wouldn't surprise me much that you may need to upgrade to 7 to fix the problem. Otherwise, try down…

Today, there is a Windows and Mac version of StuffIt. See here: http://www.stuffit.com/ Oh, ok, so then I CAN do it in Windows. LOL! Click to expand... It's not necessarily a…

On the other hand, if you can get your hands on a Freescale made m68040 Click to expand... Yeah, like that's gonna happen. They are like $250-$300 each in bulk according to Fre…

So is BinHex (or StuffIt)a program for the Mac ? Click to expand... Originally, yes. However, Both had their source ported to Unix C, so if you really wanted to, you can have …

I see that you have icons from IconFactory for many of the older machines - while this is nice and quaint, has anyone investigated the possibility of asking the widget:widget peopl…

Thanks. Just turns out I hadn't gone to the right pages.

Thanks. I did the MC88920/88916 swap, and pull pin 9 high (?) or something like that.http://homepage.mac.com/schrier/q605_40.html on one machine but could never get video. But…

I asked permission for the IF icons. If the ones you mention would be better representations, then by all means, ask! The worst that can happen is they say "no".

Would you still need a heat sink/fan if you were using an 040 that was actually rated for 40mhz? I have two of them installed in 33mhz machines that I want to kick up.
