Has anyone experience with Unices/Gnu/Linux on the Mac Classic II? This is pretty olf stuff but not so bad at all, should be a fun little gig; it's my neighbor's by the by -- the biggest hurdle seems connectivity. There's another Mac (also relatively old -68k) which I'm hoping appletalk could be established to avoid trying to use a serial line. Here's some info: Classic II has a 16MHz 68030, PMMU but no FPU, B&W of course and works a lot like the Performa 200 apparently... Any idea if this could decode and play mp3's? The primary goal is just to to be able to write on it, and move the text to another local pc, prolly his other mac via appletalk, maybe via serial. I am of course looking to test the limits a little, maybe see how mame works on that old beast, which is also apparently fully 32-bit. Maybe linux games would be best (lbreakout is one I like)... or, uh, text-mode quake anyone? Hum, this http://maclinuxstatus.sourceforge.net/status/ shows that the FPU is optional, but looks like http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/ will make it work. Looking to finish & return the little doorstop in the next two weeks. Anyone interested or got tips, suggestions?
cheers ben ps - the internal drive is HD afaik, and there is an additional 250MB external HD.
