I get two frames a second on youtube, if that's the kind of video you're talking about. Quicktime (.mov .mpeg) video off the hard drive plays fine. Divx and AVI? Fageddaboudit. …

As regards to surfing the Web with the Newton, I agree with Rodus. The options are limited and even in the best case scenario, you won't get farther than text-only browsing (à la L…

The Newt is really for collectors and hobbyists and I wouldn't reccomend it gor a travelling blogger who wants to retain their sanity. Click to expand... I'm not worried about …

^^To be (painfully) honest, I wouldn't bother. My MP2000 is online and I've spent ages fully specing it out with peripherals but only becuase I'm a collector. The Newton can be a…

I have read reports in the past of the onboard ethernet for Yosemitie and Yikes (the worst culprits) boards going very wrong, it may be time to get a PCI ethernet card. I'm assumi…

I have the 333 cpu and I think it is running tiger. I cant get it to run a vidio on it worth a bean. I just figured the 8 meg vidio could not handle it. I have tried swaping ram ou…

2 questions 1 i have a 867ghz quicksilver with 10.4.11 and what looks to be a factory apple scsi atto install can i add ide drives "i have several" with the scsi drive or must i …

I'm subscribed to the NewtonTalk Mailing List -- if you want I can relay your nBlog-related questions there. Have you tried writing Adam Tow himself or the author of the blog you f…

Does anyone else here have any sort of experience using nBlog to update their blogs? Success or horror stories? I'd be looking to use it on a regular basis, but if it's going to …

For the last few weeks the built-in ethernet on this little beast has not provided an IP address. Renewing the DHCP lease does nothing as well. I've tried different Cat5 ethernet…

To clarify: 800k floppies were used on even older Macs than the 636. They're different to PC 720k floppies and not interchangeable. The USB floppy drives will only read and writ…

Well, I can't really recommend much about the newton but I can recommend the next best thing - the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (collectively known as the "N810", as I've seen). Thi…

I'm in the market for a more portable blogging solution. For a few years now, I've been using my wireless-enabled Powerbooks (a 5300, 1400, and Lombard) or TRS-80 Model 100 &a…

I've only ever had the fan fire up on both my Pismo and Lombard when I had them sitting on a soft vinyl chair for a couple of hours watching a movie - it was pretty hot after that …

At the moment the 400mhz card has been replaced with a 333mhz card. While it does run a little warm at times depending on what I'm doing so far it has not crashed since the proces…

Thank you all for your prompt replies! I have another question: for transferring programs on 3.5" floppies, is it possible to connect an external floppy to the iMac's USB ports to …

Well. I just lifted the keyboard on my Lombard to check. Turns out the sound I always thought was the fan, is in fact the hard drive. The fan (next to the air vent on the left h…

Also, $35 for a DV is pretty good. Did they mention the speed? See here: http://www.lowendmac.com/profiles.htm

^^seconded, the time taken to transfer using 3.5" floppies quickly adds up, you'll soon learn to love an ethernet card.

$10 on an ethernet card for the 68k would pay for itself quickly.

is it possible to connect an external floppy to the iMac's USB ports to read them? Click to expand... Sure it is! That kind of drives is perfect.

I suppose if the programs are written for PowerPC, they should be able to run. Click to expand... :?: Last time I checked, the Performa 6xx were 68k machines… and the iMac is…

Well written 68000 should happily run on an Power PC running Mac OS. I have happily run 68k programs on System 9.2 under Tiger.

I suppose if the programs are written for PowerPC, they should be able to run. As for the pricing of the computer, it isn't bad. They are quite capable and the DV version, IIRC, h…
