Generic PRAM batteries — #19

Macs and PC's added together I probably have about 50 but most of the PC's are for future parts salvage. There's only a few that I intend to keep intact like my Dell GX 1's. I'm re…

68kmla & iPhone — #16

I think what Bunsen is getting at is that long signatures aren't the problem. Massive, block quoting. It's unnecessary, often inappropriate, and it can get to this extreme level th…

The Mother of All Conquests — #37

Unless I go scrapping the Q650, I have so far only found two 68040s, at 25 and 33MHz, but plan to keep them (for my Q605 and LC575). I have a few 68LC040s processors, and seven or …

And Daystar 68060 Accelerators... — #22

BeOS blew even NeXT away. Click to expand... I'm not sure I'd agree. BeOS was often said to be the spiritual successor to AmigaDOS, but they left out at least one important thi…

Generic PRAM batteries — #13

Ah! Ok... I've never used AAA batteries in my Macs. As you can tell, I'm really paranoid about batteries. I hate opening up the cases to find the mobo destroyed... :'(

The richness of the color on the 520c is slightly better in my opinion, but they both have comparable levels of ghosting and the same "shadow" images of window outlines, etc. I've…

Can 8500 do 8 — #9

My 8500 (RIP) did very well with 8.1, 8.6, and 9.1. Did badly with 8.5 and 9.0.4. I would probably recommend 8.6.
