I have a pair of Kensington Turbo Mouse's that I'm trying to determine what Macs they were originally sold for. One is a 'Turbo Mouse' with 2 buttons and 2 ADB ports. The wheels can be seen on the back. I'm assuming this was for a Mac Plus but there is no version sticker on the back. The second

Yes they did, but it was a DB-9 serial port. The mini DIN8 didn't come along until the SE? Or Was it the Mac II? And what is it doing on a mouse? My memory fails me. I used to know. Rick on 9/22/05 5:29 PM, Allan Hunter at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Original 128K Mac, 512K Mac, Mac Plus all had

I have a IIci with maxed out RAM and a 50MHz Daystar '030 accelerator. It works pretty good except... The MIDI sequencer I'm using on it is an old non 32-bit clean version of Performer. Because it's not 32-bit clean, I have to run it in 24-bit mode and System 7.1 takes about 115MB of the RAM.
