Things to do with a pizzabox

Recently in another thread I mentioned a sighting in a magazine where someone converted an LC into a bag. I had an opportunity to scan part of the page and here it is: >From the magazine Game Lab. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by

Re: IIci and parity memory

Yes, parity SIMMs work in a non-parity IIci. It just ignores the extra bit. There's an empty square of solder pads on the logic board to the right of the SIMM slots as you're looking in over the front of the case. That's where the parity controller would be if it had one. Apparently only some go

IIci and parity memory

I hear there are two versions of the IIci, one requiring parity memory, and one not. I seem to have the non-parity one (since non-parity work), but am wondering if parity simms will work in this one, and if so, if that is global, or per bank. (this because 30-pins simms with parity are easier to

Re: Computer names.

For a person who plays Quake, the perfect name for a Quad(ra) would be "Damage". ;) 'Course Quake won't actually run on a Quadra... (Which reminds me I need to look for a hack to increase the brightness in GLQuake. Can't see _anything_ _anywhere_ with the brightness all the way up, except when i

My mother is one of those types. No watch, mechanical or electro-mechanical or electronic has ever lasted more than a few weeks on her wrist. She also has far more trouble with her computer than I do. Most of the time I can do the same stuff and there's no problem. = "Work it harder make it
