CPU Director for OS 9 does a better job than XLR8s, and no serial required! You also need to couple the multiplier with a bus speed the 8600/9600 likes; most don't like to be push…

Do we know if he's been saving them, or just having them ephemeral as they run through? Click to expand... He's been saving them. He uses them to build a database that can dist…

Okay, so I got the XLR8 to work (and it took a bit of digging as of course, there is a Ben 10 character with the same name...) and now I'm running a G3 at a blazingly fast 400mhz (…

As far as I know they were all just used for RAM disks. Didn't the original Daystar cards have some kind of bridge for connecting to other Daystar cards without using the Nubus?

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 …

Sonnet upgrade cards usually require no configuration, so apart from cleaning the contacts with an eraser I'd suggest it's faulty. The XLR8 will need to have the correct CPU multi…

No, I have not downloaded the manual as I didn't know if XLR8 still existed (oh dear, the dreaded google search fault). All I have to test with that I know work are the two 300mhz…

Have you downloaded the user's manual from xlr8.com and checked to make sure that the jumper/switch settings are reasonable? That is, that they are not set to speeds so fast one w…

Do we know if he's been saving them, or just having them ephemeral as they run through? Alright, here's my fully qualified claim: I am the owner of the oldest known to the vintag…

I picked up an XLR8 MACh Speed G3 (supposedly a 400mhz 1mb cache upgrade but it could be anything as the ZIF processor could of been swapped) processor upgrade and a Sonnet Crescen…

Known to anyone confirmed by any source. I don't personally know of any earlier Macs. I'll have to go through the eBay database I am building, but yes. The earliest in the M0001 da…

Known to whom? He's got the earliest Mac listed in that database, that's all we know.

Actually, if I recall those Macs were taken directly off the production assembly line and not given to the team until the Mac shipped, which was not until late January. Until confi…

My point is that mine is the oldest known production Macintosh. And I'll proudly trumpet that until someone produces an older one. Click to expand... My point was that we kn…

(Then again, according to your database, I have the oldest known production Macintosh, period...) Click to expand... I know that you're saying "according to the database", but …

Hmmm. Using an SE/30 with NetBSD installed to take place of the PeeCee. That is very interesting. Keep us posted if it works. 73s de Phreakout. :rambo:

Hm, I wonder if the "family pack" license would let you install on multiple VMs on the same hardware? Click to expand... There's no such thing as a "family pack" license for OS…

So cool! Ok, you'll always find people who do have more than you do… Greener grass, they say? AFAIK, DP1 and DP2 never made it on CD to mainstream developpers. Or did they? I…

But I can definitely justify to the management to buy ONE Xserve and run multiple copies from with the proper licensing. Click to expand... Consider also the new Mac Mini Serve…

Nice! Anyway, you are missing Mac OS X DP1 and DP2 see my collection here http://freeweb.siol.net/jstarc4/Mac%20OS%20History%20Collection/Mac%20OS.html I didn't update the pag…
