One thing I will take issue with is (emphasis mine) Apple's devious plan for incorporating binary emulation seamlessly into the existing Mac OS was very clever, but it als…

Oh well that actually makes sense

I don't have any major disagreement with any of those points (except one point below); they're certainly well-taken, and PReP/CHRP certainly had much squandered potential. My main …

hmm? is there a reason for that? Click to expand... there are no fans, so don't put anything (like paper) on top of it, and don't leave it in a confined place

hmm? is there a reason for that?

That's still a steal. Click to expand... Definitely... the carrying case alone, would have been worth driving 2 miles out of my way. It's not the typical Apple carrying case...…

Minor note, the machine gets very hot.

No biggie; I'd rather have a 512k, anyway. They're more useful; more software will run on it.

I didn't mean to confuse the issue. Yes, this thread is about an ADB or ADB II mouse. The smaller switch you linked to is the correct switch for that mouse. I was asking about i…

Great epic find.

If you look in the SuperDuo thread in Hacks, I link to an ebay store with bare LCD panels of various sizes and costs, and he says he'll throw in a VGA converter board for $30 with …

hell even early G3s have trouble decoding DVDs. Click to expand... Add a Wired4DVD card and even a PPC601 or PPC604 can play DVDs well. It's a PCI card though, so no help for…

I can't comment on the '060 (though I do like ColdFires), but remember that there were *three* people in the AIM alliance, not just Apple and Motorola. That big blue gorilla was co…

Yeah, the guy running Daystar Technology (Brian, I think?) is a swell guy. He's kept some excellent hardware on the market and brought some new stuff out that I never expected to …

That's still a steal.

Yes, the original pre-ADB mice have a larger microswitch (thus the awesome loud deep click) but I was under the impression that this thread was about an ADB mouse, or ADB mouse II,…

Quadraman's already conquered (conquested?) a SCSI DVD-RAM. He's asking how to use it with a Quadra. Now I may be entirely wrong about this, but my impression was that if you for…

Well, I just picked it up this morning... took it into work... opened the nice carrying case... and the back says 512k. Sigh. I'll have to open it up and take a peek at the guts, b…

You can use an IDE DVD ROM and a IDE to SCSI converter.

scsi dvd roms are out there and fairly plentiful, just expensive!

Well if I'm correct, the Daystar Technology of today is a very different company to the Daystar Digital of the 80's and 90's. I'd be surprised if anyone currently at Daystar Techno…

Running OS 8.1, with the Apple CD/DVD Driver, a DVD-ROM drive certainly can be used for data storage. Obviously, on a machine so old, you can forget about watching DVD-Video discs,…

The point about the comparison between the m68060 and the Pentium is that the m68060 would've scaled quite well had Motorola had reason to continue improving it (that is, if Apple …
