Might want to investigate Minix. It's designed for teaching OS design, so even if a porting effort failed, it would be an educational fail . It is to some extent unix-like. …

I say Dual-boot. And don't overclock it. Nice conquest too.

The old kind, that is. :beige: Bought two of 'em on eBay the other day. Will come in handy - I don't have any spare auto-inject FDDs, only manual-inject.

Now this is an odd find: On offer is a VINTAGE COLLECTABLE - BRAND NEW Apple PowerBook {x00} Series Video Service Course as part of the Apple Service Training Courses. This …

OK, maybe I'm just talking to myself by now, but I found this site in Linux Journal magazine: http://www.freertos.org/ There's no port for the 6502/Apple yet, but I'm going to tak…

Actually, I find OS 9 perfectly fine for doing "real work" provided you use the right applications. I have a tangerine clamshell (300MHz, 192MB RAM) running 9.1. I run Word 98, Ph…

I found an iBook G3 clamshell on Craigslist today for $50 which said it was "locked" and needed to be "unlocked". What they meant was they didn't know the admin password. I had no …

Awhile back, someone posted a message on comp.sys.apple2 asking if anyone had made an archive of the Public Domain Software On File collection: NNTP-Posting-Date: Sat, 03 Ma…

The Macintosh that is being referred here is in this case, your Macintosh SE/30. Now, you will be able to read PC-formatted disks on your Macintosh SE/30. Then, download the Supe…

The SCSI port of the Plus needed an HDD formatted for 1:3 interleave, ie a drive slowed down in data acquisition rate. Silverlining 5.8.x gives more control over such matters as b…

Yeah i'll try to find the other disks. They will probably start obsoleting those programs.

Owning a 5300 and 2 190s I would have to agree that they are both pretty bad. The 5300c works for the amount I have tested it but I have not noticed any failure issue yet. I have…

Get them while you can. I can't abide having a computer that I can't write my own programs on. I managed to find Apple's X11 on X for Jaguar. It took a bit of searching mind you.

Boot from a floppy and run SCSI probe to have a look at the bus and see if it's advertising itself. You have two problems... 1. As I understand it the Mac Plus requires drives th…

I'm trying to connect a SCSI HD to the Mac Plus, but for some reason, it's not recognizing it. Actually, it's not even recognizing that the drive is connected. Not even an old ve…

Now get XCode and X11...

Aw that sucks! I'd like to see the video, the death chimes really scare me.

So I was working on a client's Mac Mini, and I found a 10.2 Disk 1 in the CD Drive. I shot an email to the owner and he said that he had no use for that and that I could keep it. …

5300s have a reputation for being unreliable because they are unreliable. My 5300 oddly powered itself off at the most annoying of times (such as when I had almost completed Oregon…
