Very nice! Kudos on adding that.

Such lists are easily obtained from magazine archives on Nexis. However, they should not be taken too literally. They tend to be aggregations of press releases, and actual products…

In that case, please pardon my misinterpretation of your statement. It's all idle academic speculation anyway. :b&w:

Be really interesting if it could be made to the look like the mac os completely with highlight on click for the navigation buttons or even drop down menus. Would need rounded/beve…

Cool, keep it coming. Can you do 68K programming on a PPC Mac?

Apple's devious plan for incorporating binary emulation seamlessly into the existing Mac OS was very clever, but it also meant they wasted loads of effort making a new CPU act like…

One thing I will take issue with is (emphasis mine) Apple's devious plan for incorporating binary emulation seamlessly into the existing Mac OS was very clever, but it als…

I don't have any major disagreement with any of those points (except one point below); they're certainly well-taken, and PReP/CHRP certainly had much squandered potential. My main …

I added a basic 68k programming guide to the wiki. Right now it just covers installing MPW and compiling a basic program, but the next tutorial will go more in-depth and cover aspe…

I can't comment on the '060 (though I do like ColdFires), but remember that there were *three* people in the AIM alliance, not just Apple and Motorola. That big blue gorilla was co…

The point about the comparison between the m68060 and the Pentium is that the m68060 would've scaled quite well had Motorola had reason to continue improving it (that is, if Apple …

Remember, the m68060 was able to execute more average instructions per clock than the Pentium in spite of having a 32 bit bus as compared with the Pentium's 64 bit bus and in gener…

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…

... how do you think they replaced the functionality of those components? They had to go off chip to get that functionality back or else who would have any use for a crippled EC or…

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…

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.

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…

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…
