Hey, no problem. The time I didn't spend here I managed to source up a Windows ME CD, so that kept me entertained for a while.

If anybody is interested, I know some interesting tidbits of information concerning clock speed modifications on beige G3s (specifically, ID'ing components to determine whether or …

Nice one, the 160s are very good portable black & white machines. A case is a good bonus and at that price you can't go wrong!

not bad. I always loved the 1x0 series of machines (excluding the 190). Truly my favorite of machines. My first machine was the PowerBook 170. That this was sooo cool. In fact,…

Oh yeah, let me get onto that.... Edit: Should be sorted now [] ]'>

Tom, I received an error from the webserver when I tried to connect. I tried reporting it to you by emailing you at the address given in the error, webmaster@68kmla.~tl.co.uk. Th…

Thanks Tom! I did get a bit more work done today than I have the past couple months.

Nice! M

Excuse me, yes, 83 MHz. Interestingly, this seems to have been a planned design feature of the G3s as even the Rev A Wallstreets had an 82.9 MHz bus on some models (the 292 MHz mo…

Some of the old ones are rated 83MHz, yes. Many of the people I talk to don't seem to know about that, so I thought I might mention it.

What do you mean? If you identify the spec on the MPC106 ("Grackle") chip, you can usually figure out what a good possibility is for overclocking the bus. The MPC106 came in 89 M…

The modem slot on a beige G3 isn't really a CSII slot, it's just CSII form factor. It is really a serial port. When you put the modem in the modem slot, the modem port stops work…

Daystar have a G4 for Lombards, but it's $299. Yeowch Click to expand... ... hmmm... $55 rebate if you send your CPU and heatsink back to them afterwards $100 rebate if you …

I agree that NUM 3.2.x was excellent (and still is) for what it can do with 030-processor Macs, and 040 Macs running no higher than 7.6.1. Received wisdom at one time was that NUM…

I think because on Windows it installs all this weird stuff and does all this other crap you don't really need. I just simply booted off the ZIP disk and ran Disk Doctor and it was…

I haven't used it on Macs in years, but on PCs at least, it is a very, very, very, very, very bad, bad, bad, bad, bad thing. NUM 3.x used to be good back in the days of System 7...…

Norton is bad? It rescued my 7200 the other day. (I have Norton 6 on a ZIP Disk). It was booting to this Error 41 or 47 or something, and then when I booted off the ZIP Disk the h…

Is the Radius display any good? Click to expand... It's a good sharp display. It only seems to go to 640x480 but that may have just been the 6100's poor onboard video.

MacDan says they'll take any standard laptop optical drive [] ]'> Click to expand... And he is very much-so correct, provided that you're running OS X. (or OS 9 if you…

Nice haul, I still need a 9.1 cd for my legit OS collection. I think you can only upgrade to 8.6 from 8.5, 8.1 is a dead end. Click to expand... Yep, you're right. For OS 8.5 u…

Super Awesome!
