I don't care about the book, but I would like a complete listing of the BASIC code mentioned in it for that Macintosh Diagnostic. It would be fun to run it and see what happens. …
After hours of use, the 68000 CPU in vintage Macs will remain cool to the touch. Indeed, if you feel any heat at all it is heat coming from the hot air inside the Mac case. These…

hi all-as you may know, i want to prolong the life of my Macs to the fullest extent. examples of this are, if i walk waway from it, i dim the screen to min, check the temp of the p…
Yeah, you can replace it with an ethernet card...the only other type of card ever made for the Comms Slot. Keep in mind, you'll need a CS2 card, rather than a CS1 card due to the s…
Got the 3400c unit last night - it is in quite nice condition for its age and did have a CD drive as well as floppy drive. I think it is a 180mhz early machine. 64 mb ram card in p…

JDW, thanks for your work. I usually make PDFs by printing to a file, which works on my 68K Macs without crashing. Then Preview makes PDFs after transferring to an OS X Mac. Sorry …
Mac128, yes I "assume" it will work as you describe when creating a PDF via Classic. I did not try that, instead booting my G4 directly into OS 9 and running MacDraw Pro from ther…
totally speaking out of my rear here, but I would think it depends on the machine
