I'm trying to determine the optimum disk cache and virtual memory
settings for my Macintosh IIci running OS 7.6.1. I am installing a
IIci cache card and 32MB of RAM. I have an internal 350MB HD and an
external SCSI 1GB Jaz drive.
I'm looking for the best settings for my particular
I'm not sure I was being very clear. My intent is to minimize hard
drive access and speed the serving of Web pages by storing them in a
RAM disk. But because my IIci runs headless, I'll need a way to
periodically update the Web pages in the RAM disk from another computer
on my network.
Dear Vintage Macs:
I have an old LCIII on which I would like to run a version of NetBSD, as
well as converting this computer into a dedicated firewall computer. The
LCIII has 36MB RAM, 1 GB hard drive, a math co-processor, and an ethernet
card. What is the best way of approaching this project?
Software: OS 7.5.3, OT 1.1.2, Mac TCP/IP, Eudora Light for mail.
I have put in the settings to match my PC that is connected to the same
router (but not the hub).
What do you mean by Mac TCP/IP? I'm not sure if you are using OT
with the TCP/IP control panel or MacTCP?

Hmmm. Well, I don't think I have heard of an easy hardware solution to
do this on a Mac. In order to route internet you will need something
like IPNetRouter as a software router. There used to be (maybe still
are?) hardware AppleTalk routers.

Recently I happened to come across (what I think is) an ISA LocalTalk card /
modem. It's made by The Complete PC, Inc. and has a 2400 bps modem (from
the markings on the card) as well. It has four connectors on the back:
Phone, Line, Speaker, and (what I think is the LocalTalk part) SCAN D.
Why are Asante network cards so cheep. Is it one to stay away from?
The only difficulty I have encountered is that some models are unable
to auto-negotiate with auto-switching 10BT/100BT hubs or interfaces.
For instance, I have three Asante MC3NB interfaces in my IIci and
they are all unable
Yes it damn well does (sorry). I have it set up internally, I don't
*like* having to use IP addresses all the time.
Depending on the size of your network, it may be feasible to create a
hosts file on each computer.
