Your left-over 520 motherboard is a plug-and-play upgrade for a Color Classic. It's not a huge leap in power: 16MHz '030 --> 25MHz, and 10MB RAM limit --> 36MB, but …

If you get an LC575 board, make sure you also get the back panel off an LC575 Click to expand... In fact, Apple once sold both in an official LC 575 logic board upgrade for the…

How about a B&W G3 with the 17 in display :rambo:

I'm not sure when those two dropped of the first page. Must have been when I was rearranging things last time new smilies were added in. They've been restored to their rightful pla…

I'd like to be the first to complain that having the new smilies buried behind the "View more smilies" link makes it far too much work to use the new smilies! Click to expand...…

Nice Mac history. I look forward to your IIfx story in Mac II, Quadra & Centris later. Glad to meet you.

I was trying to place my mind into a glorious time "2 years" past too. I currently live in a town which may have four Macs in it, two of which belong to one person and none of whi…

Good point. I've trimmed down all my of computers and now have: My sawtooth My BeigeG3 MT My 5300cs My 8600 soon to be parted out However if this was 2 years ago and I still …

If it was a G3 iMac, I would install NetBSD. But it isn't. If I didn't already have half a dozen 9.1 machines, I would install 9.1. But the hypothetical situation has me owning …

Personally I'd go with 9.1 - being able to run Ubuntu isn't really all that special when you can easily find a PC on the side of the road that'll run the x86 version of Ubuntu (whi…

Things are settling down a bit to be sure. What has been a major stressor though is the medical bills for the cancer treatment. Insureance is wonderful and without it i'd surely b…

Holy heck dude :O I feel for ya buddy - I tend to have the opposite reaction - the crazier life gets, the more I show up here for my daily dose of (relative) sanity. Glad to h…

I've been dealing with a lot lately. A few deaths in the family, my wife's cancer , trying to find a job, helping out a friend whose mom died and psycho sister is making proba…

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! Click to expand... Only the machines with Old World ROMs. Anything B&W G3/Pismo an…

As much as I love Linux, my vote goes for 9.1. I'm getting old and just want my computers to work with minimal fuss. I don't really use OS 9 for browsing on an extended basis, ju…

G'day - nice to have you here. Impressive Mac history too!

Perhaps this is the reason the II FDHD requires 6.0.2, due to the different pin configuration from the SIMM to the chip? Click to expand... Nope, did you know that the original…

Funny how divers people are thinking about Apples development through the years. My first Mac was a Colour Classic with external Power CD (2499 and 699 dutch guilders new @ Correct…

All I can say is Jobs is better at getting people to believe his bullshit then most CEOs.

Gentlemen, all I can say is Jobs was growing with the company and learning from his mistakes. I seriously doubt he would have killed something that was bringing in money for the co…

I agree with Unknown_K. Apple needed some time without Jobs controlling everything, and Jobs needed time outside Apple to rethink things. And while I cannot help but thank Jobs f…

The Mac exploded with the introduction of expandable machines (you know upgrade slots those things Jobs hated), not the closed dead end compacts. Jobs was big into killing off the …

If Jobs never left Apple would have gone down the drain. Click to expand... Unknown_K, I disagree. Sculley didn't trust Jobs, but the very things that have made him and Apple …
