Re: A question about copeland
Copland. I remember it well. Copland was a leak. Apple Computer was calling their project of OS 8.0 Copland in reference to a musician. OS 7 users wanted a new look to their operating systems, and someone said that's what OS 8 was going to be about. Nobody realized the power of multi-tasking yet. At least, nobody I knew. What started to happen was really just icons, mostly. People started building and circulating icons that you could either HexEdit into the system, or just add to the folder icon. Were you looking for the actual OS 8? That's not public domain yet, so we can't *legally* share. I have a collection of my old Copland icons around somewhere. Joe Niels Bretschneider [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi. Sorry, I do not have any particular link for you. Maybe you'll find something on Google... I noticed two different spellings of the name. Apparently Apple's OS project was called Copland after composer Aaron Copland. Wikipedia explicitly states: Note that the composer Aaron Copland spells his name without an e. Apple Computer also spelled the name of their Copland project without an e. Surprisingly, however, a quick google search turns out 230.000 results for Apple Copeland, only 62.000 for Apple Copland Maybe it's just because Copeland is the more common family name... Still, some articles speak of the Copeland project, some of Copland regards, Niels Am 20.07.2005 um 22:05 schrieb soviet: Someone can tell me where i can get a copy of some build of apple copeland ?.

Re: more mac models
Really? Not sure where you're coming from, there. I built a PC for myself and used all 5 PCI slots, 3 CD bays, 3 hard drive bays, and a floppy drive bay. One thing that offends me about the Power Macintosh's right now is that there is only 1 CD bay and 3 PCI ports. I mean, 1 CD drive? With optical media standards changing as fast as they have in the past 3 years, you will need to upgrade and then what? Throw out the old drive? Joe John Niven [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Have you looked at the way the PC motherboard market is going? Most have onboard ethernet, sound, and RAID interfaces. Many have basic video, and I think more of that is coming. I built PC's for my gaming sons that only have one expansion card slot used - for the fancy video card. More is being integrated on one motherboard so I think less expansion slots are needed. In fact the pc market, seems to me to be becoming more like those Performa 6360 era Apples.

Re: mac charly
Wasn't there a Mac that had both a 68k processor for MacOS applications, and a 486 to run PC stuff? And they did it again in the PowerPC era with the 6100. I have one of the Apple cards in my closet. Not sure what to do with it because it won't plug into my 6116 without that 90 degree converter. It also hooks up to your CD-audio and (I think) it had a PC monitor output port.

Re: Mac LC
Matt, My high school used LC's for our web browsers (back in 2001) and they worked fine. I was sitting at one back when I read the announcement on Apple.com about the new iMac. Some stores (Micro Center) may even still sell old serial compatable modems at 56k. I would recommend maxing out the memory (10 MB) and putting a 700 MB SCSI hard drive in the system with OS 6.0.8 or 7.5.1. Joe [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Matt, THe LC isnt a total piece of junk, they can be quite useful. (But then again, I say that about just about every Mac I come across). I tend to find my old software on eBay, but you sound like you have everything to cover basic operation already. First place to go is Jag's House website. He has a ton of software for older systems (including that poor little SE you have on the floor) and he will sell you a CD that I personally would be lost without. There is also Gamba's website, another excellent place, and Mac512's site. You can't go wrong at either place. :) Your LC can take a ethernet card, if it doesnt already have one, and cannect to the net. I wouldn't suggest Web with it, but you CAN do IRC, FTP, and email with it just fine. And if you have a modem, you can make it into a nice little FAX. But to answer your question, head over to Jag's and take a look. :) I was recently given a Mac LC, by a friend, after his wife, and Educator, was unsuccessful in donating it to a local school district. I was advised by my friend that it is a total piece of junk, and not to expect anything worthwhile off of it. I read the reviews on it, and I think I understand it's limitations. I fired it up, and found it has Ms Works, Quicken, Appleworks, Simcity, and a few other programs running under 6.07. Oh, it also has AOL version 2, but I doubt it will run on the internet. I can use it for wordprocessing and basic financial bookkeeping. It certainly is better than the SE I have sitting on my floor-also given to me for free. Question: where does one find software for an old Mac? This machine, of course, only has one floppy drive.

Probably even G4's and other new equipment, besides old stuff that's still perfectly useable. I had a collection of over 200 old Macs. Last year, I gave away about 130 of them to a teenager in an affluent suburb. When I was unloading the truck, his mom came out. I figured uh oh, did he tell his mom this was coming? She came over and watched us unload for a few minutes, then thanked me and said He's gonna love playing with these, and it will keep him off the streets. Phew! It's getting to the point that any beige (or should I say platinum, since they're not really beige) Macs are hard to give away! I still have a boatload of compact Macs and other oddball workgroup servers and other odd iterations that I'll be purging this spring, if anyone's interested.

Re: free Mac SE (sort of)
Man, I'd love it, but I just coaxed myself out of giving up my old Mac SE. It's a great computer, and ran super-fast when I ran the system off an external Zip 100 drive! I should recommend that you wrap the entire computer in large bubble wrap and pack with bubble wrap or packing peanuts (if possible). Remember that ground shipping companies like UPS won't accept a package packed with newspapers, because it's just NEVER a good idea.

In the process I went and dropped the 20 MB internal hard disk so much for those data files! anyhow, I got the data I needed off my 100 MB hard drive and have decided to give this sucker away. So here's the stats Mac SE (still works) 4 MB of memory 800 K floppy 1.4 SuperDrive keyboard (large one) trackball Cirrus 100 MB drive in external case (formatted, not bootable, no system folder) all the cables spare internal power supply I'd like $20 (for the new 1.4 floppy) plus shipping and handling (any suggestions on how to ensure safe shipping?) first e-mail I get or in the case of multiples, a round of rock, paper, scissors :) doug -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: Iigs info?
Whoa -- was it a Woz edition? Nice. Apples often don't have fans. Check your older powerbooks. No fan. Steve Jobs prefers heat sinks and a minumum of fans because PC's are so loud. Not sure on the sad sound. IIgs had their own OS, and won't run the MacOS to the best of my knowledge. After all, it's still an Apple II. I think it's OS was something like GS-OS. -Joe Bailey [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Saw a Iigs at the local thrift today, monitorless. When I turned it on, it made a sound not unlike an unhappy Mac sound -- actually two of them. I couldn't find a working fan in the puppy either. Sound like it might be worth rescuing? I have an ADB keyboard and an LC monitor I could hook up. Would I need System 6 on floppy? Anything else? Would the unhappy sound come from no OS disks, or is it possibly officially borked? How about fans... Shouldn't there be one of those? Woz's signature was neat, at any rate. Thanks! Ruffin Bailey -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Re: System 7.5 Question
I used to do that by making sure the file Finder was in some other folder than the rest of the system files. You can move this when the computer is already running from the system folder you are trying to modify. -Joe David Ricker [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Is there a way to make the computer (a IIci in this case) ignore a system folder? I'm thinking of archive files or another HD with a system on it that I want to use but not boot from or confuse the computer. It doesn't seem as easy as re-naming or putting in another folder.

eBay posting: Mac SE
Hi, I am trying to shluff off some of my old Mac equipment. Currently I am selling my old Mac SE on eBay. It's in perfect running condition and I just don't want a buyer who's going to turn it into a MacAquarium. Please consider picking up this old friend! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemcategory=4604item=5138923175rd=1ssPageName=WDVW -Joe __ Switch to Netscape Internet Service.
