This brings up an interesting question--what do you all prefer for your backups? CD-ROMS (when you have a machine that can do that), external drives? Other media? What about online storage services--are they worth the money? Later.Howard

If my house was on fire the 1st thing I'd grab is my special edition of The Lord of the Rings (onion skin paper, bought it at Westminster Abbey in London 30+ years ago) and then my powerbook. I'd grab my Apple //e, but it's a bit much to handle in a hurry. :) All the rest are easier to

Greetings fellow Listers, Here's what feels like a silly question to me, and why I ask it. Is it possible to overwork a 5300c? I ask because last Tuesday the monitor on my G3 died, and I've been using my 5300c as a temporary replacement until I can get a new monitor for the G3. The 5300c is

MadDog writes, you can either replace the bus speed oscillator (33.33 MHz) to something faster (36 MHz suggested) which in turn will raise the CPU speed to 108 MHz. You can also change the bus-to-CPU ratio from 3:1 to 3.5:1 which will give you 117 Mhz. I dont suggest going higher than a 4:1

Versinia, i think what MadDog was saying is that you can *overclock* your 5300. i don't know that you can *overwork* it. if you are having problems crashing it may be because you are running too many apps at once, or that one of the apps you are running (that you don't usually run) has a memory

I am sure others on the list have better answers to this, but here's my version: Sounds to me like you are stepping on the system heap on your 5300c. Systems before X had varying degrees of protection that kept other information from being written to the addresses in RAM which were reserved
