For MP3 files, you are going to want at least CD quality, which is 16-bit 44.1kHz. Well, the 605 maxes out at 8-bit 22.050kHz which is a great deal lesser than CD-quality, VERY no…

aye I bought a thrift store pc for a buck for its 5.25 so I can backup some of my old dos games

I remember someone told me that modern comb filters on the last generation or two of tube TV's was to blame for the useless image that is generated by older computer systems that o…

I can say with some degree of certainty that we won't be doing paper reprints – it's just too labour intensive to print off one or two copies at a time. Number 2 is coming along n…

Apple Two-Page Monochrome Monitor bought one to use with my Quadra 700, as secound display, for CAD i have 3 of them { "lightbox_close": "Close", "lightbox_next": "N…

The MacCharlie only supported text on the PC, not graphics

Well, I snagged a IIsi in order to try out some of the NuBusNonsense that I've proposed for the SE/30. No, HDD, no RAM SIMMs, No ROM SIMM, got a startup chime as is, put some RAM …

Nice score, I got a ][gs back in june but haven't been able to use it (TVs make terrible composite monitors). The one time I did use it, the power supply was making noises. Clic…

I was trying to place my mind into a glorious time "2 years" past too. I currently live in a town which may have four Macs in it, two of which belong to one person and none of whi…

Sounds good to me, couldn't get the first due to being too busy to notice it had gone out of print. Might miss the second due to monetary shortage by way of outlay to buy an Apple …

PDF for the back issues would be cool. Of course I would love a paper version of issue 2 so when it's ready I will cue up for a copy.

Good point. I've trimmed down all my of computers and now have: My sawtooth My BeigeG3 MT My 5300cs My 8600 soon to be parted out However if this was 2 years ago and I still …

A program to create and unpack binhex ( .hqx ) files.

I thought I'd offer parts here, if anyone wants them after I find out what's working and what's not. It doesn't look bad except on the outside. I doubt anyone would pay shipping on…

.HQX files are BinHex, and most archive/dearchive utilities can handle them. BinHex is a text file format converting BINary to HEXadecimal, making it easier to send a file via emai…

No, it was 16bit but could address 256Mb of memory with 18 address lines. A 6502 has 16 address lines but that doesn't make it a 16bit computer. If you went by that argument an 808…

The G3 iMacs will never truly become collectors items. After all, they are awfully hard to stack a hundred and twenty to a pallette. } If anything from the PPC onwards has las…

Maybe this ebay auction will give us a better idea of the original iMacs Popularity and value.

If it was a G3 iMac, I would install NetBSD. But it isn't. If I didn't already have half a dozen 9.1 machines, I would install 9.1. But the hypothetical situation has me owning …

all going well, issue two will be out at the start of May, the 1st was the plan, but we are running behind a few days. anyway, by the time we get to issue three we want to then st…

Personally I'd go with 9.1 - being able to run Ubuntu isn't really all that special when you can easily find a PC on the side of the road that'll run the x86 version of Ubuntu (whi…

To be honest: I gave up. I don't really care about this system and will be parting it and it's 600MHz brother out very soon. I busted out the 5300 and minus the Zip Drive issue …

Gah! That laptop is super ugly. However the Skylab sounds like it truly was the Holy Grail. "As far as Mac Prototypes go, one of the most glorious I ever saw was the Radiu…

Actually from the video you posted, the corrosion does not look too bad. Certainly repairable. Of course not seeing it in person means that I don't know too much about the system.…
