If you must have PPC and more then 3 Nubus slots a 950 with a Daystar upgrade is the easier to get (then you get 4 free Nubus slots). I did this for my AVID systems. A 9150 would b…
I made it up into the attic a few weeks ago, and there are, indeed, three 91xxs in there. One of them seems to have some broken bits to the casing as the side panel doesn't want …
Holy heck dude :O
I feel for ya buddy - I tend to have the opposite reaction - the crazier life gets, the more I show up here for my daily dose of (relative) sanity.
Glad to h…
Oh yeah, I can't believe I forgot about that - the keyboard. Thats another thing I love about the 1400...it has one of the best laptop keyboards I've ever typed on, out of the hund…
They are amazingly durable, and you've got to love the keyboard. I am using mine less now that I have the Pismos, but I still love to type on them.
I always admired the Duos, neve…

My 1400 love also comes from nostalgia. It was my first laptop, a hand-me-down from my brother-in-law who said if I could fix it, I could have it. A new LCD and inverter later, it …
I've been dealing with a lot lately.
A few deaths in the family, my wife's cancer , trying to find a job, helping out a friend whose mom died and psycho sister is making proba…
Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH!

Personally, I love the 1400 series mostly because the 1400 was my first ever PowerBook, which I've had since new. While yes, they are very upgradable for a PowerBook, I have to adm…
Why would you be banned for talking positively about a 68k over a PPC, on a 68k-related board?
I fully agree. The 1400-series is interesting, sure... But the 68k's are where the…
I know I'm going to get banned for this, but:
I couldn't care less about the 1400s. Yes they were great machines, expandable, and all that. However I just don't like them for some…
Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…
My 540C actually had its little "PowerBook 540C" badge replaced with "PowerPC" so I'm thinking it used to have an official Apple PPC upgrade. Unfortunately, it's just 68k still
As much as I love Linux, my vote goes for 9.1.
I'm getting old and just want my computers to work with minimal fuss.
I don't really use OS 9 for browsing on an extended basis, ju…
heya Temetka!
Yes, I got an SE FDHD and SE/30 on Thursday, which will get a seperate thread when I'm done with squeeing about having them. I'm going to build an uber-SE if I can. …
Great score on the CC.
I myself have an SEFD so I can understand the compact lust.
Minus the 2300 that I would love to have and possible a 660AV, the CC is on my top 5 list of ma…
If there are any tips on targeting specific CPUs, e.g. how to make use of '040 features with or without leaving out '030 machines, that could be interesting as well.
I'm more inte…
I'm going to go ahead and say yes, it does belong here, even though the Beige G3 is an Old World-based machine, it still originally shipped with a G3 processor, and thus it goes he…
Very nice.
On a PPC using CodeWarrior (can't remember the exact version) you can definitely build 68k apps (and a few other platforms including Palm IIRC).
