:D We now have a GigaMember — #19

Could it be a Kibimember? What's that? 1^10... Oops, Error that comes back as one. It's not as bad as dividing by Zero 1 /0 Oh noes! *Zap!*

Uh, no. Assuming that we use the binary equivalents of the metric prefixes, a gigamember would be the 2^30th member. That would be member 1,073,741,824. What you are thinking of…

Great plan! Just a note, it would be wise to ask for any SCSI hard drives, as the converters go for chump change on eBay.

ok. I don't have enough pocket money to get it right now, but i'm assuming that you searched for 'Apple SCSI hard drive' to get that?

You definitely can. The shop where I bought my HD from has a stack of 68-pin and 80-pin 9.1 GB SCSI hard drives for $5 each and I bet you can find them for that much somewhere …

yeah, well i doubt i'll find a scsi harddrive for like... $4. I spent all of my pocket money on the LC III, the monitor adaptor, and the PC floppy drive, and i am not getting mone…

BTW, for those SCSI HDs, try searching at mom-n-pop computer stores which have a used parts bargain bin. I found my 9.1 GB Seagate (that's currently in my Macintosh LC 475) at one …

No... 2 system folders would occupy too much space on my puny 80MB ProDrive ELS. I'll just install 7.6.1; i allready converted all 19 install disks and its disk tools disks to a f…

The easiest thing to do is run two System Folders, one with 7.5.5 and one with 7.1, and use System Picker to switch between the folders.

Many apps require 7.5, and i want to run the newest OS it can run. Even if it is slower than 7.1. Besides, i want to have fun doing over 19 disk swaps and writes } . Yaay 19 f…

Go with 7.1 - it is just as capable as 7.6, and it will run faster and use less RAM. For future reference - there are three common types of capacitor (there are plenty others, thou…

That RAM chip you have there seems to be 16/32 MB. If my assumption is correct, go with System 7.5.5/System 7.1.

Gotcha. OK: What is the reccomended system to run on an LC III? I am probebly going to put 7.6 on it.

No, those are the different types of caps (the ones that don't leak often) that are normal on a LC board.
