I just looked the other day and AAUI boxes are available on eBay. I like
the rectangular ones from Apple just coz they're kind of cute. :-) Other
vendors made them.
MacOS 8+9 wasn't based on the Mach Microkernel so there is no "Terminal."
There was a version of Yellow Dog Unix available for
At the time the 520 was on the machine list for Yellow Dog Linux. But only
with the PowerPC accelerator upgrade.
I believe the "then upcoming" release did not which was part of why I
didn't end up buying it.
It was a struggle finding a practical use for the 520 so I sold it and went
back to
Hi,
Does anyone have a Mac IIfx motherboard available? I need one.
Alternatively a IIx or II motherboard would be ok.
Want to access some files and mine went up in smoke.

MPW was pretty much the defacto standard as far as anyone I knew with
very opinionated+passionate Think-C developers somewhere in distant
second! :-) I believe ThinkC was cheaper. MPW and the ETO services were
a bit pricey. I got what I needed while I worked at Ample Computer while

I'd get a Mac Cube. I got mine in a 'cube fire sale' a season before Intel
machines shipped- never has had a problem... tho' some did.
Seems that Apple tried to put some quality into the design, unlike the more
budget machines.
I recently got a G3 blue+white too- just like the one I had at
Yes. Release the control rods! #AppleCube
Kuh-chunk. What other computer makes such a satisfying "kuh-chunk" sound
when you disassemble it?

10.5 really was better than 10.4 due to underlying changes to threading in
the kernel. Things ran WAY faster... for awhile... until Apple's inane
"GC" requirements kicked in and they lost all the performance gains they'd
claimed. Boo on them... that was when Windows+Linux pulled ahead,
Interesting... a desktop slot loader.
I bought one early this year and haven't tho't to check the DVD drive. The
one I had at Disney had a tray loading DVD.
I used macs early on in my life but abandoned them for NeXT in '88. The
blue+white has appeal to me coz it ran a variety of incarnations
That machine has an analog supply board, apparently, in the case.
Hard to say. If you're really really good with electronics and know how to
avoid being shocked off of unplugged electronics (CRTs+capacitors), you may
be able to take the analog supply board out and replace caps with US values
and
Curious... do you know if the capacitors on the Quadra 700 mamaboard do
better than the ones in the IIci and such? Capacitors from the pre-china
days tend to have very long lifespans but Apple got an early start on
shipping "lesser componentry" on their boards.

Hi,
I have an A/UX 3.0 project and would like a Quadra 950. The more memory
the better but either would be fine. How can I contact you?

Hi,
Does anyone here have an installed image of A/UX 3.0? A/UX 2.0?
I was stupid enough to sell the copies I got while I was at Apple.
A/UX 3.0 was really cool... would have used it more seriously but I bailed
to the NeXT camp, which had much cooler OS software than anyone, at the
time.
Omigosh I had the Inside Mac Volumes 1-6 or whatever, with the last one
being HUMUNGOUS, a book that you could hurt yourself on if you dropped it
on your foot... and full of really esoteric stuff like background sound
playing, which it "generously" I think only mentioned in one paragraph on
one
Hi. Would like it. Want to put A/UX 3.0 on an SE30 very much and show it
around.

Indeed the Internet seems to have morphed into a "broken" state imho.
I missed the conversation... where is the list moving to?
