You can see some telltale signs on text and captions, but if you weren't looking for them, you'd likely never notice. And even that will improve.

No, it can boot from any device, including the CD-ROM, in any key position. However, service position selects the alternate boot paths which will (after trying the floppy, next) boot from the CD automatically. It also lets you hard-power down the server with the front power button.

You can manually boot it from the AIX CD at the ok prompt with boot cd or boot scsi-int/sd@0:aix.

Yes, Canada had its indigenous computers like the NABU, and they even had at least a few video titlers/character generators. The Scriptovision Super Micro Script comes all the way to you from beautiful Montreal, designed and built in Canada from 1985 to at least 1989. Sold as a prosumer video...

May I say thank you for spelling "reins" correctly. :D

No, just the regular analogue board. It's perfectly useable but I'd like it to be a little taller.

I'd like to get my Mystic Color Classic's screen a little larger vertically (right now it's probably about 75%?) but the pots didn't seem to make much difference.

Glad TenFourFox code is still useful for these kinds of ports.

Sure, but like cameras, the best calendar/phone book/to do list/etc. is the one you've actually got. I liked my Zire 72 a lot but I stopped carrying it regularly after I got an iPhone 3GS. That's kind of the problem. :(

That's a nice haul. I'd love to play with the PalmPix. On the other hand, I think the idea of the LifeDrive was better than the execution. Palms can make nifty little networked remotes with some hardware assistance. Here, there's a Bluetooth LAP (note: not PAN) access point they can connect to...

I appreciate it, but it's not that 10-second tick you describe. It's just abnormally quiet, sometimes scratchy audio.

Specifically, what does this look like? I have a working prototype Portable with bad sound (caps were done), so I'm interested to hear if this might fix it. I also have a dead Portable that didn't come back to life after a recap. I'm suspecting the hybrid but I could be wrong. It was probably...

That would be good for studying words, and I may well use that soon, but we wanted to get a little more information on the PowerPC exception that got thrown. Can the DEFAULT CATCH! routine be patched to do a full PowerPC register dump?

I have a MacClip Jr in my own 800 and it works well, though I just run it at 38MHz. This works fine in A/UX and also allows me to install and remove the Power Mac 601 card "freely" (as free as you can with that damn case) without having to mess with the clip.

I'm surprised to hear you had that much difficulty with getting AUI MAUs. They seemed to multiply like hamsters in my drawer at work. Admittedly that was back in the late 1990s but even now they pop up in weird places in my storage closet.
