Welllll.... I would use 8.6, except for the fact that... I CAN'T FIND IT :-( I got my copy of 8.1 and 9.1 off the Mac admin at school, and downloaded 7.5.5 off Apple's site (I love their HTTP so much better than FTP... download.info.apple.com for those who didn't know :-) ). I always install Aaron on my <OS8 comps... the 8 interface is so much sweeter than 7... heh
I almost forgot... I run [EMAIL PROTECTED] on this Mac too... *hehe*... it's up to 11.806% on its first workunit, been running for 30 hr, 17 min, 11 sec... my desktop does one workunit every 8 hours... heh So where on Earth do I go about finding Virtual PC 2? (or will PCX work on it? I'll try that right after I send this... www.emulation.org I think) And about my Classic.... any ideas on why, after shutting it off, I have to wait 5-10 minutes (usually) to turn it back on - else I get this "checkerboard" screen and have to start the timer over... now, even after 2 hours, it's STILL doing it! I'm getting kinda worried! This happened right after my last post, saying "i just shut it off"... now it wont turn back on... AAAA! I think it has something to do with the missing PRAM/clock battery... it was dead and I took it out, havent had $ or time to go to Radio Shack and get a new one... any ideas? PS: I fastened the heatsink onto the board via the 4 holes surrounding the CPU on the board... then leveled it on the chip, then used electrical tape to wrap around the bare ends of the twisties... like heck am I taping anything with electrical tape! That's a gooey mess waiting to happen! PS2 :-) : Yep, the Classic boots faster than my Palm III (16MHz, 2mb RAM) out of ROM, but if you format the HDD then copy the contents of the ROM disk to the HDD and boot, it's even FASTER to boot than the ROM! Like, flip it on and before your finger gets back to the keyboard, it's at the desktop... fast. PS3: Haven't finished the Macquarium yet... still looking for something to make a tank out of... actually less looking, more waiting for Dough. > > > Pilot wrote: > > >Well, it is off-topic :-S (maybe I chould get onto an early PM list too, eh?)... > >but... well, here's what my 66 MHz PPC 601 is running (nope, no upgrades... no cash > >(the real kind)!): > > > >-Mac OS 9.1 (off an iMac install CD, how ironic :-) ) > >-Internet Explorer 5.1 > >-iTunes 1.0.1 (the one off on the iMac Install CD with OS 9.1, the one on Apple's > >site only supports X!!) > >-Virtual PC 4.0 (installs but wont run, crashes with a -2,817 (fragLibConErr, Code > >Fragment Manager-boot library has initialization routine) error... any ideas?) > >-MacErrors 2.0.1 :-) > >-AppleWorks 5 > >-Fetch 3.0.3 > >-GraphicConverter 4.4.4 PPC (holy crap! it runs!
