I often think to myself that I'd like to get a 5300 or a 190 just to play around with. Then my common sense gets the better of me and I realise that there's nothing I could really …

Unless you need to run OS X software, go with OS 9. As Scott said, for web browsing, Classilla is available now. For AIM access, AIM 4.3 should work, though I haven't used it in qu…

You can never have to many working superdrives, they also seem harder to find. I have a few spare auto inject and manual inject (at least I think I still have some autos). I like …

I say Dual-boot. And don't overclock it. Nice conquest too.

The old kind, that is. :beige: Bought two of 'em on eBay the other day. Will come in handy - I don't have any spare auto-inject FDDs, only manual-inject.

Actually, I find OS 9 perfectly fine for doing "real work" provided you use the right applications. I have a tangerine clamshell (300MHz, 192MB RAM) running 9.1. I run Word 98, Ph…

I found an iBook G3 clamshell on Craigslist today for $50 which said it was "locked" and needed to be "unlocked". What they meant was they didn't know the admin password. I had no …

Awhile back, someone posted a message on comp.sys.apple2 asking if anyone had made an archive of the Public Domain Software On File collection: NNTP-Posting-Date: Sat, 03 Ma…

The Macintosh that is being referred here is in this case, your Macintosh SE/30. Now, you will be able to read PC-formatted disks on your Macintosh SE/30. Then, download the Supe…

Owning a 5300 and 2 190s I would have to agree that they are both pretty bad. The 5300c works for the amount I have tested it but I have not noticed any failure issue yet. I have…

Aw that sucks! I'd like to see the video, the death chimes really scare me.

5300s have a reputation for being unreliable because they are unreliable. My 5300 oddly powered itself off at the most annoying of times (such as when I had almost completed Oregon…

The 5300cs that works just died in an odd way. It cant even play death chimes right. I will post a video.

Well I finally got to testing the 5300s I conquested in the huge powerbook lot a few months ago, and the failure rate of apples first PPC and its 68k brother, is quite high. Only 2…

The Macintosh SE/30 is one thing that will make the process easier if if it works well. First thing first, try disabling extensions (basically INIT code that enhances functiona…

Sure sounded like a troll anyway. I knew there was something odd about the threads, so much oddity that one has to take the chance to humour them... :lol:
