Re: MacPayForIt
My humble apologies to all (incl. Mike B.). Mike Breeden has in the past responded personally to my questions, and his website remains a haven for Mac users who can't get a straight answer. I'm not too sure what some list members mean when they write about Google having the materials via their newsgroups. But posting a question to an NG is a viable alternative. I wish to thank Dan Knight for offering to archive and/or make available postings on technical matters. I've stated before that Apple will be extremely lucky to survive the coming Linux-based tidal wave. And, yes, you can run Linux on 68k Macs pre-quadra. Any attempt to curtail Apple-based info will only accelerate the Linux wave. Happy Easter! George --- rlf9 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Vintage Macs wrote...

Re: MacPayForIt
It is a tragedy - I hope Mike Breeden has a dire need for the money he hopes to collect. You must now scour the newsgroups via Google to find info that probably isn't as good or as fresh. I expect that a boycott will emerge and the info will migrate to the newsgroups. If you don't have newsgroup access, one website that has the postings is http://newsone.net (although it's a bit slow). But Google should be the best.

Re: MacPayForIt/and old sites in general/ Davong boat anchor
Try this site for the 'wayback effect'. It gets busy occasionally, so be patient. It had the MacFixit pages ;-) www.archive.org/ Does anyone have any information on drivers for an old Davong 10 Meg serial port drive for the old Mac Plus? I recently acquired one of these old 'boat anchors' and I'd like to at least get it operational. The oldest mac I have is an SE. Any information is appreciated. kapnkid -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
