UNIX emulators for PB1400?

I know the NuBus architecture limits the possiblities for the PB1400 (e.g. LinuxPPC and mklinux full functions) but I am curious about people's experience with the UNIX emulators out there on a PB1400. Given price, speed, and compatibility any suggestions amongst Tenon's MachTen for $249, Connecti

Hi Tom, I'm not sure where your low end starts, but my vote is for the 1400. Very nice spacing and action for my slightly large fingers. Stay WAY away from duos. I'm typing this on a TiPB, which is the first powerbook I've used that even comes close to the one on my ol' friend. smiles, Jamie

-- I only have two powerbooks: a PB 150 "for the kids" and this PB1400. I formatted a 128 MB compact flash card as a Mac disk and then used the Memory control panel to make it the virtual memory disk. The computer recognizes 111 MB for the VM disk. It runs faster, but the PC card burps out

Opera Star?

I don't have the energy to try out yet another browser, but if Opera has a banner and script filter, then I might give it a go. iCab also loads text first, which is another advantage. I just like a browser that does what I want it to, not the designers of webpages with tacky animation or popups

(Over)maxed RAM on PB1400?

Frankenbook is just a 1400

"FrankenBook - 1" FrankenBook is a nickname like "Icebook". It is just a 1400 with a G3 processor, so you can put me in the 1400 list, making it, it would seem, the most popular PB on the list, with a tie with the 170. I also have a 145, but it is lying dead near Muskegon, MI, but I don't coun
