Greetings. I am once again on quadlist because I have once again
acquired my old LC575 that I had donated to our church a while ago.
Yes, they went to the (PC) Dark Side--an odd thing for a church to do,
don't you think?!
This baby simply refuses to die! And 'baby it' I have, over the years.
I bought it new in 1995 (when 33MHz, 8MB RAM and a 250MB hard drive was
still considered pretty hot stuff). It has always been my favorite
machine. It is hard to explain (probably the all-in-one design and that
crisp, bright Trinitron display [though only 640X480]). Even now I am
thinking about keeping it! I am writing you now on a 500MHz iBook
running OS 10.2.1, but I'm trying to find an excuse for bringing that
LC back into the house--knowing full well my wife will balk. ("Where
are we going to put it?!") Maybe I can find another person to donate it
to, but I can't bear the insult that someone might be willing to give
me $25, were I to try to sell it.
I have it maxed at 36MB RAM, the hard drive is either 500 or 800MB
(can't remember at the moment) and it has OS 8.1. One thought I had:
Could I get an ethernet card and maybe arrange to put it on my hub and
cable modem? Are there ethernet cards still out there for LC575s?
(Would that be PDS plugable?) Anyone have any experience regarding the
practicality of putting an old 68K on broadband, given the limitations
on processor speed and screen redraws? Thanks.
Gary
