Animated happy mac on Mac Classic? — #1

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…

How common was the LC III — #7

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…

How common was the LC III — #6

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…

How common was the LC III — #5

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…

How common was the LC III — #4

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…

How common was the LC III — #3

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.

How common was the LC III — #2

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…

How common was the LC III — #1

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 …

And Daystar 68060 Accelerators... — #4

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…

And Daystar 68060 Accelerators... — #3

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…

What browser are you using? — #2

I think so. That's what I've been using whenever iCab 3.0.5 won't run, alongside some Netscape and IE for the sweet memories.

So I can take for granted that the card I posted in question is an XCeed Color 30HR, and that the white 10-pin connector is for a greyscale adapter? Somewhere on line I saw a post…
