Re: Macs and PCs living in harmony... is that a dream?

I use a PC running Linux, samba and netatalk (that also shares the broadband link). Since I never found a 100 Mbps ethernet board for a SE or LC, I suppose a 10 or 10/100 Mbps hub will do. The 100 Mbps machines may complain a bit, but it still works smoothly. Many switches refuse to work with m

Re: Oh my....... Intel CPU's???

No no.. The Xenon (the XBox processor) is a multicore chip. Each core is not nearly as smart as the G5 (it looks dumber than a 601), but it can run 6 threads. It is just another way to use chip real-estate - instead of building a supersmart CPU they build 6 dumb ones and hope running six threads at

Re: Oh my....... Intel CPU's???

Don't be so pessimistic. The CPU under the hood is of little importance to most users. I didn't think that way until I realized I have been using Linux on both x86s and PPCs and it is completely the same. MacOS X can run on x86s just fine, as long as they are fast enough. There will be fat binar

The Apple II family should be able to use a monitor with NTSC frequencies. II, II+ and //e had RCA jacks for it. Dunno about //c and IIgs. Any monitor you can plug on a VCR should do. Bailey wrote: > Saw a Iigs at the local thrift today, monitorless. When I turned it on, it > made a sound not unl

5215CD and PCI

Hi, I just got a Performa 5215CD and it sports something that looks like a PCI slot on its back. The cpu board form factor looks a lot like my Performa 6400, that has a PCI "deflector" card. Is there a way to stick a PCI card into it? By the way, I haven't opened it yet. Will do it tonight ;-) T

Re: MS will not be suporting IE

They really said that, since they are no longer developing IE as a standalone product, future versions of it will appear in future versions of Windows. Let's not forget the browser wars are over. I use Firebird on my PCs and Unixes (including OSX), but I am in the company of less than 1% of the

Re: AIM on vintage Macs?

The protocols AIM uses have been changing. Last time I checked, programs using a protocol two or three generations behind the current one would not authenticate with the servers. Projects such as Gaim (gaim.sf.net) have source code that _could_ be used to build an instant-messaging client for o

Re: Need help with macintosh IIci

Seems nobody asked that: Do you have access to a CD-ROM/CD-R/CD-RW drive with a SCSI interface? You could then start the computer with a CD-ROM instead of the floppy. A CD image is much easier to make. I also experienced weird start-up problems when a client insisted on attaching a parallel pr

Re: Mystery card?

Thanks The hard-disk came freshly intalled with 7.0.1 without any drivers. There appears to be no FCC ID (if there is, I couldn't find it, and I did search for it). A friend of mine said it looks a lot like a Cabletron unit he had, but i couldn't download the drivers from macdriversmuseum.com

Re: IIsi HD is "locked"

If all else failed (as it did in my Color Classic) dissassemble the unit and hook the SCSI disk to another computer (in my case, a PC, since it was locked with FWB tools and no mac was available to the task) to do the job. As I said, in my CC I hooked it up to a Adaptec SCSI in a PC and let its R

Re: PC SCSI drive

You may need some third-party disk formatter like FWD or a cracked version of the Apple tools. There are some tools for Unixes that may do the trick, if you are running any of them on your PC. Good luck - Original Message - From: "RomRider" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "Vintage Macs" <[EMAIL
