How common was the LC III — #13

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 …

How common was the LC III — #11

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…

maybe, if possible iMac conquest — #2

Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #3

There is no point to downclocking the CPU - the G3 upgrade is independant of the existing CPU itself (that is, it is not used), nor are you going to "cook" the existing 601 CPU (it…

Downclocking PM8100/100 or 110 — #2

Hmmm... That's not going to be easy unless you have an 8100/80 to look at. The multiplier on the 100 and 110 MHz machines is three, so if you change the oscillator to 40 MHz, the C…

How common was the LC III — #9

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…
