I can confirm that the LCIII definitely does support 24 bit mode, in fact when an LCIII has a flat PRAM battery, or no PRAM battery, it boots up in 24 bit mode by default. And it d…

For that Apple IIe card keep in mind IIRC you need to run that in 24-bit mode. 32-bit mode won't work. So the IIe card in a LC III may not work since I"m not sure you can run t…

I just bought a "new" (for me!) 1 GHz TiBook this month, and yes, it screams in OS 9. It will only run a later version of 9.2.2. And as for speed of indexing files, it is not too b…

Yes, both of my LC III's were from a school. I think the guy I got them from had a trailer full of them. LC's and the AIO LC models must have been very popular with schools and th…

They were pretty popular in schools. I haven't looked for any recently, but schools were littered with them (and LC II's) in the 90's.

The LCIII wasn't quite as common as the LCII, for one thing it cost a bit more than the LCII, but I'd think it was still a bit common. My Dad bought an LCIII back in 1993, and I re…

I'm wondering how popular the LC III was (or not)? Reason, I don't encounter hardly any of them where I look. Even on ebay they seem scarce. I figured, I want one of those since …

If the Hard Drive was previously used in a PC it might have (somehow) changed something so Device Setup no longer recognizes it. Or something like that. If you have a Mac OS X CD …

The Amiga used some software patches to get the 68060 to work, Apple could have done something in ROM to get around it. An old thread here mentioned Daystar didn't see a major spee…

I nearly always put two [seldom more] os on every machine and if possible on separate disks. On older macs this is generally 9.2.2 & tiger. On a pc generally recovery conso…

Can't get this combination working. Will boot os 9. Will boot cd/dvd drive tiger disk. Will boot tiger install disk from firewire. Will boot in safeboot, BUT no core image or e…

I honestly don't see the point most of the time. None of my current systems are no longer dual booted. When I get an intel imac though I will dualboot snow leopard and win7. That w…

Oh, yes, my IBM PS/2 Model 77 has IBM-DOS 7 and Windows 3.11 on one partition, OS/2 2.0 on a second, OS/2 2.1 on a third, and OS/2 Warp 4 on a fourth. (OS/2 3.x wasn't very intere…

Unless your computer is just for experimenting you need lots of big hard drives to run that many OS's. You're going to find that you will accumulate software for all those OS's alo…

In My hackintosh I have Leopard,Win XP, and Debian in the same HD. But in my iMacG4 and my 2 G4 MDD only 9.2.2. I love Mac Os Classic (7.x 8.x 9.x) -it is the best os I know- and…

Both are G4 revision 3.3 (7455B) but diferent production number. Both G4 have 32kInstr/32kData L1 cache at CPU speed. Both G4 have 256k L2 cache at CPU speed. Both G4 have L3 ca…

The 68040 didn't include all the functionality of a 68030+68882, either. (In particular, the 68040's FPU is missing hardware support for IEEE transcendental functions.) The differe…

Are the CPUs exactly the same? ie, the same model/series of G4, the same amount of cache at L1, L2 and L3, the same cache:cpu speed ratio?

This list is not exhaustive, but it is very long, and might help some of us trying to identify old upgrades: http://www.accessmylibrary.com/article-1G1-13220825/buyers-guide-upgra…

Except the 060 doesn't use exactly the same instruction set, from what I've read, but rather a subset.

I'm trying to get one of my beige G3 towers running and have a Western Digital 205AA drive with the Apple logo on it. I have it installed and am able to load MacOS 9.2 from CD but …

Welcome to the forums. Good to see younger folks picking up the same interests. Me, not a frequent poster here but certainly reading along. I got myself into classic Macs some yea…

Great info! It really highlights which apps are dual or even multi-thread aware as well as which apps/codecs are memory and/or io bound instead of cpu bound. This is the kind of …

That's some great information. Thank you for sharing the results of your real world tests. That's the best kind of information to see and it is rare.
