A Mac OS site where everything (not just drivers) are there for D/L, not just remote links?
A site like that with both 680x0 and PCI software files (not just links) would also be of much interest to me and many other users. A complete collection of shareware, freeware, and "vaporware" installers that could be collectively assembled and archived for all Mac OS (both 68k and PPC) stuff, by the Macintosh Community itself (like so much older MS Windows and/or DOS stuff already is on "The Other Side" at many, many sites). I would be willing to put in some time in to help with it, but be forewarned that I currently only have 56K analog modem access, so U/Ls from my end would take a long time. As APPLE has tossed 25 million+ non-native G3/G4 machine owners/users (not even counting the number of 68k CPU machine users), access to many older and/or not so old non OS X/Rhapsody/NeXT based softwares is already starting to becoming problematical in some areas; Additionally, Since Steve Jobs (unlike Gil Amelio) appears to be very hostile to letting sites host APPLE files (my MUG "dBug" isn't even allowed to archive most APPLE software installers anymore, even the old freeware 68k ones and/or the newer PPC freeware ones...), there is an additional "hostile to long-time Macintosh users" issue complicating matters -Martin Totusek THE MAC REFERENCE ARTICLE <http://www.eskimo.com/~mtq/> -------- Original Message -------- Date: Mon, 4 Nov 2002 00:55:57 -0500 From: Charles Shannon Hendrix <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: was: nubus ethernet Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> In-Reply-To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> On Sun, Nov 03, 2002 at 10:26:38PM -0500, the pickle wrote: > You mean like macdrivermuseum.com? No. While they have local files, a lot are links to other sites, some of which are not there. I mean a site where everything (and more than just drivers) are there, not remote links. I'm gradually building mirrors, scheduling them to run nightly, even stuff I don't need myself. So, one of these days I'll have this big DVD... :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Compact Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/>.
