That was a clever way to speed up the booting. Ram Disk was one I used on my
early Macs. I also replaced the 16mhz. crystal on my Mac Plus motherboard with
a 30mhz. one that made it boot quicker, made the chime higher in pitch, too.

Thanks for sharing. Looks interesting, but it is a bit pricey. Might go...

Really amazing Scott! Thanks for sharing. Would the Linux distro you
created be useful for people to use for other purposes? I still wonder
about someone making updates to A/UX to get some more modern web apps
going, though it may not be possible to make them very usable on the
ancient hardware,
And an old flip clock - one of the big ones with a calendar built in!
Once upon a time, I installed Gentoo Linux on a 25MHz 486 by bootstrapping
it from Stage 1. This involved compiling the system libraries and toolchain
twice, and took about two weeks to complete. The system is bigger and would

I am not sure I see the point in this exercise, though a great deal of my ideas
are likely considered fruitless by most.
How large is the image you are running it from? You mentioned possibly
tweaking some of the settings -
Part of the speed difference will be from emulation, of course.

Clearly, but he also indicated (unless I mis-read) the drive image was on a
remote computer. I would think the speed difference for a local drive vs
networked drive to be somewhere in the neighborhood of 10:1. In the grand
scheme of things that might not really matter (like adding an hour or

Oh, there's no point at all beyond Because I wanted to try. Just part
of the silliness I like to do.
The image is about 5GB. Not very much of it is used, I could probably
slim it down quite a lot. I'm mostly lazy. The drive I'm using is only
3GB total, and I have 2GB devoted to Linux and 1GB

I have no idea how much the disk/network access impacts the boot speed.
Having it on a local 5 MB/s drive might well speed it up significantly.
Also I'm sure it's not having to transfer the entirety of the image, but
just the bits its using, so maybe not.
As for SoftPC, there were several 68k

First, did you just attach all those pics to a list posting? That's not really

THIS ISSUE IS WORTH A LOT IF YOU HAVE IT:
For reasons I'm too tired to attempt to work out right now (it's been a long

I hear you, mate. Sadly, email clients that utilise a TUI are non-starters for
