Hello all 1) I need at least one stick Ram for my beige G3:
(I currently have 128Mb installed: 2x32 + 1x64, in the three available slots) I would like to achieve minimum 196Mb, preferably up to 384Mb The specs of the RAm for the G3, as you would know, are: SDRAM PC66 168pin DIM and further: 3.3V, low profile 2) I need a 4.5V "cube" battery (for the 6300 Performa) Can anyone assist with either of these two items? I have a unused 3.6V high energy litmium battery (measures 15mmx18mmx60mm with red and black wire. The battery has a velcro strip (with protective cover still attached). I also have a variety of cards, including network and special purpose, and a number of interesting, indeed possibly fascinating, mac items, all listed? Furthermore I have a small qnnty of unopend B and color ink cartridges eg for 2500 Stylewriter. I can make a list John (in Armidale NSW Australia) jdeboer ON northnet.com.au -----Original Message----- From: Mac Network [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, 4 May 2006 2:05 AM To: Mac Network Subject: Re: Old Macs on Network At 12:52 AM -0700 05/03/2006, James Fraser wrote: >At 7:15 PM -0500 05/01/2006, pegleg wrote: > >>Bravo! One of the beautiful things about the old Beige Mac hardware >>is that it lasts forever. Say what? Old computers fail. Period. In general, I really don't see any one model as being longer or shorter lifed as the others, from my experience. The only exception that is the iMac FP -- way too many goose neck failures. And even that's not a serious failure. >>If you buy a Blue and White, you may have to replace it sooner, >>increasing the cost of maintaining your network. > >I'll bite: what is this assertion based on? Yea, what James said. What's this about? >If there are B&W shortcomings, please tell me what they are. I ask >this because I'm looking to a acquire one in the near future. The only shortcomings, IMO -- and none are showstoppers: 1) Max DIMM size is 256 MB. I keep ending up with cheap 512's. 2) No bezel to do an internal JAZ drive nicely. ZIP sux. 3) My ADB keyboard difficulties. See thread "Tiger ate my keyboard and snacked on my mouse!" in the old g-list archives. Smurfs ROCK. Go for it, James! Just make sure it's rev 2. Less hassle. > > I am using some of my old Macs at file servers. > >That comment segues into the question I've meant to ask: why is >there a need to exceed the 32-character limit for filenames? Long filenames are like fleas - they accumulate. There are some in OS X itself. Many apps use/create them. Then there are email attachments, and other downloads... Having a file server that only supports smaller filenames is a PITA. Right now, I'm using an old PowerMac running OS 8 as the "house server", afp, ftp, and http. It's good for most things. But more and more we're having to zip files up before pushing them to it, so they don't corrupt the names... Gonna replace that box with something running OS X shortly. - Dan. -- MacNetwork is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and... XRouter Pro | Share your DSL or cable modem between multiple computers!
