Try installing a fresh copy of the system first. I've found bus errors and address errors to occur frequently when software is corrupt (system or otherwise).

BTW, that number I posted was illegal... } :lol:

Some of my other interests and places I joined to talk about them: Old 486/P1 thinkpads, discussed in a Thinkpad forum DOS gaming, DOSgames forum Amigas, English Amiga Forum, Le…

I agree with everything Scott said except for the copyright stuff. Scott is on the far end of "Downloading that system 0.85 boot disk would be illegal", but most of us don't care a…

To those of you who would support The Lounge being removed, would you support a Mac swap meet where discussing something other than Macs is banned?

it will often lead to something negative ... Click to expand... Since Scott felt this "needs to be discussed," I guess I will add further thoughts. If we disallow posting beca…

I've waited to post my response to this discussion until now only so I could get a feel of how other members felt about the "state of the 68MLA". I will address each issue one at a…

It's nice to have a topic like this put "decline" at the front of everyone's mind. :-/

I think you people are missing the point, what keeps the 68kmla going is the people who have knowledge of 68k and early ppc macs who come to talk about them, and then maybe some ot…

I am an "oldie" here and yet I have a hard time digesting the new-fangled, Twitterific-style "community / socialization." Yet, if one wishes to define "community on this site" as …

Simple solutions: Lounge: Lets wipe the current Lounge and start fresh and forget all this crap. Software: Archive and start fresh (some of that info is useful).

so really then, we have a bunch of oldies ( i generalize) who understand the community aspect and a bunch of newbies who 'dont get it' ? would that be a better way of framing it?…

Wild, foot-stomping applause @ Mike and Trash80 above.

I've changed the "View New Posts" link at the top of the page to exclude the Lounge Click to expand... Seems like a good idea to me, although after all the years of my coming t…

Removing The Lounge is like saying you can't discuss anything except Macs at a Mac swap meet. Mike: Yeah, those new MacBook Pros are awesome. Joe: They're pretty great. Mike: So…

There are no Intel mac forums here yet. Click to expand... Hence why that gets discussed in the Lounge.

Secondly, the Lounge should simply be nuked. It's one of the biggest problems with this forum - it's where people disrespect each other, post a load of stuff most of us are not int…

Exactly.

Here's my take on it: I've been here as an irregular for almost as long as anyone but the founders who broke off from the MacAddict forums to pursue their infatuation with the old …

If you think the forum is on a downhill decline, what I'd do is actually evaluate your own behavior on the forum, maybe you're not the model of forum perfection that you should be …

Access to the Lounge should be optional. It is still a part of this community, If we were to nuke the lounge imagine how many more sub-forums we would have to make. But on the othe…
