A lot of the problem in archiving file downloads is many sites are using Java applets to link to hidden URLs and other tricks to obscure where the files actually are. Disabling directory browsing on a web server also works pretty well to stop bots and spiders. = "Truth is, after all, a strong

Motorola Coldfire, AMD has been doing x86 based stuff like that too in their Elan line. Those incorporate practically the whole PC in one package. Would be cool to have a drop in replacement CPU that runs a bunch faster, at least for Macs with a socketed CPU. But would it work to drop a 120Mhz 030

Attention flawed jai I have a bunch of classic stuff that I run on my SE, Powerbook 145 and SE/30. Old Abandonware apps, games, and so on. Let me know when you have an FTP address or a site to which I can upload this stuff, I think it's a great idea! Off-list of course :) -- Vintage Mac

You could say the same thing about the new machines, but they just brought out an 800MHz G4 upgrade for PCI power macs. Take a 33MHz 68k mac, and stick in a 220MHz, how much different is that than putting an 800MHz chip into a machine that made to do a 200MHz 604, or even a 120MHz 601! It would

A lot of similar upgrades in the Mac world would have the CPU and RAM on their own circuit board and that contraption would plug into the CPU socket. Tricky stuff, but would allow faster RAM access, which is the only thing an Amiga would be lacking AFAIK. Terry > Oh, I meant to say in the other m
