We're not talking about the latest versions that are still being made today, though. We are talking about the chips that were actually produced back when the design was new and tho…

In the States, it is also more common to see the LC versions show up on the market. While I feel this is from the greater number of LCs sold to schools, it could also be that some …

That's a really good writeup on the LC series, Scott, thanks for that.In Australia at least though, the LC475/575/630 were sold directly to consumers. Click to expand... Yeah, …

I remember the 580, in fact I have two of them here. Apple ditched the more expensive Trinitron monitor and SCSI drive from the 575 to make the 580 more attractive to school budget…

All models with "LC" in their name were popular in schools. In fact, the LC line became education-only after some time. I believe the original LCIII (not LCIII+) was the last LC so…

The 68060 didn't scale well, either. The fastest versions lack the MMU, FPU, or both. Too many transistors for a wafer that size back then. The fastest 060's required separate chip…

Your English is fine. Thankyou for the extra information. Dual have 2MB L3 cache per processor.Single have 1MB L3 cahe per processor. Click to expand... I would expect …

I managed to land a gigger, though I'm "still" using my 867MHz G4 for most of my portable OS 9 needs. The 1400, bless its heart, just doesn't have the battery life to take it on th…

If System 7 had been on the market for 2 years by the time the LCIII was released, then it's not surprising that you can't run System 6 on it. You can't downgrade a system to a ver…

I'd love to get my hands on that model. I have always wanted a G4 powerbook even when I did own a iBook. I would like something faster than my upgraded Pismo but alas they are st…

Are you saying it definitely is NOT in the IIci ROM? Click to expand... Yep, as far as I can tell, it is not in there. The one ting the IIci and fx have in common is tha…

Yeah, I always keep my data and os on separate partitions. It is really useful for if a system screws up or you want to upgrade the os and would prefer to do a clean install.

I can date these "animation" frames back to the IIfx, but after the IIci. Click to expand... Are you saying it definitely is NOT in the IIci ROM? The one ting the IIci and fx …

Very interesting. It's not animated on the LC III/Performa 450 either as far as I can tell. But the LC III ROM also contains normal 32x32 images of the complete happy mac and sad…

Not on mine. It just starts with the completed face. Unless it's too fast for me to see that is. Tempest

Isn't that just how it is? (Like your animation) Click to expand... Are you saying that it is indeed animated like this on the actual Macintosh Classic machine? I just spotted…

Isn't that just how it is? (Like your animation)

Here's what it would look like animated:

I admit that I do not own a Mac Classic. Intrigued by the command+option+o+x bootable ROM ability, I peeked inside this ROM. I found this by importing the ROM as a fairly tall ra…

I managed to get it working after some research. It looks like Western Digital drives can't be used with the jumper in the neutral position. They must be assigned as either master …

In the consumer market, the LC III was sold as the Performa 450. It's identical except for the sticker on the front of the case, and some accessories that came bundled with it. L…
