I believe that in previous years, this sort of set up has been acceptable. The main thing about the 'Challenge isn't the arbitrary rules, it's having some fun with old hardware tha…

I'm thinking of entering the Retrochallenge with a little project of my own: to not only get my LCIII (my very first computer) on the Internet for the first time, but also to use i…

Yeah, you can replace it with an ethernet card...the only other type of card ever made for the Comms Slot. Keep in mind, you'll need a CS2 card, rather than a CS1 card due to the s…

This is really neat and geek way to connect computers, but now all I have is a: LC 475 with an Ethernet card, MacBook Pro and one Ethernet cable. How to connect this pieces of hard…

what I have done is I have a linux computer (any debian-based distribution that uses apt for package distribution will make this really easy) with netatalk installed. Here's what …

It's like reading a Linux manual, very nice Anyway I'm choosing option 3, "Best for arbitrary transfers at random times". Could you give me some practise advice in this topic?

I have a PowerBook 145B and I want to go online with the Modem. Is there a way to do this? Maybe a Dial-up server?

Unfortunately I already have the latest version (2.0.4?) if the AirPort software.

http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=120120 Software update for OS9 is not really maintained by Apple anymore, so far as I can see, and so seldom if ever works. You have…

I don't know. I wasn't able to get it working under any sub versions of OS 9. Also, if there is an update available, I can't get it. The MacOS update utility has always been hit a…

Ah.... so it's actually the paper copies before (and including?) Vol VI that are worth picking up, assuming you want to do any development for System 6 or lower? The hardware info…

Two thoughts: 1. There is an Airport update available for OS9, as I recall, and though one would have thought it included in 9.2.2, you never know.... Worth a shot? 2. I mostly u…

I own two tangerine iBooks and one has an AirPort card in it. Because of its limited specs (128mb ram, 300mhz G3, 4mb Vram and a 12gb hard drive.) I decided to install 9.2.2 inste…

My PM5400 works pretty well for browsing, as long as java stays off.

While we're on the subject: I've got the opportunity to pick up the paper edition of Inside Mac vol. VI - the huge one. Is it worth it, compared to a PDF? Yes, I do prefer to re…

I'm going to be putting some old Mac tech notes which had been posted in comp.binaries.mac on my site later this month, but there's probably all of them on Apple's site already. Th…
