Very nice. As for the WGS 95 card...I'm fairly sure that you actually need A/UX in order for it to work. It'll run with 7.01 or 7.1 installed...but I don't think it'll actually …

... It also came with a Workgroup Server 95 card which apparently doesn't work (hope not), but the cache slots are all filled (512K?). No idea on RAM, HD or WGS95 status yet until …
A smaller fan makes a Q950 a much better neighbour. As long as you don't stuff it full of Nubus cards and drives, it works fine with a smaller fan and without the wind tunnel produ…
you can log onto your Unix Mac via telnet and send / receive mail etc.

No, telnet is spawned by inetd. We are talking purely serial, so you would be coming i…
Why do you think the PDS card does not work? It is made for A/UX only and while it will boot in OS 7.01 (wont work but the machine will boot), newer mac OS versions tend to hang/cr…
FidoNet worked as follows: User runs terminal software and dials his local FidoNet BBS system. Reads his messages, types new messages to other FidoNet subscribers and logs out. Lat…
If so, I'd be interested in how it could be done. More than likely, I have completely misunderstood what I read and simply need to be set straight.

the down low is back when you used a terminal emulator to access unix (type) servers, and the whole experience was text based, altho that could be mouse and menu driven, anything b…

Hi all,
picked up a Mac on eBay I've never seen in the flesh before: a Quadra 950, lovely condition and should come up well with a strip down and blast with my air compressor. Co…
Since when does being interested in vintage Macs require a degree in computer programming? I'm not frightened, just have no interest in it. There are many folks on these forums who…

I'd love it if there was a KIP/MacIP based package that you could use on a Mac 512K (no, a 128K will never cut it) to access a Unix box. I've tried it, and I have exchanged mail wi…
I think that there is some confusion here....Note the four socketed DIPs next to the SIMM sockets. We can assume that the IIx layout is similar, because the ROMs were sold as an of…
