    I resurrected an old Hotline client

    Excellent work!

    PowerMac 8600/250 BEOS Woes

    Hi, nice to see you here. Unsure what else to add though - my BeBox and 6500 don't exhibit this behaviour. But I don't have any other BeOS systems running right now.

    Announcing BlueSCSI Toolbox – Web Edition

    There is a ZuluIDE. Not a full substitute yet, but very promising, and may work as a storage medium for basic use cases. https://www.zuluide.com/

    Eric's Apple Network Server 700 tinker log

    Yup, Eric started that thread (or if E-mail is better, ckaiser at floodgap dawt com). It is not difficult, just slow, to dump the ROM from OpenFirmware over a serial port. I had heard similar things about the SMP card, though I thought that was also a 604 or 604e. I know early work on it...

    First official C64 in 36 years

    I'm glad these exist, but my preferred Commodore is still the 128DCR, and I have plenty of spares. It is the finest 8-bit computer Commodore ever made.

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    Yup, that's usually all they are (a PATA drive fitted to a converter board).

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    I'd look for an old FireWire enclosure. Since nothing supports those anymore, they can sometimes be had for cheap, and most of them are bootable. It will be much faster than USB 1.1.

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    When you say "doesn't see its disk," what appears on screen? What do you see when you issue a "boot" command from OpenFirmware?

    Power PC performance evolution

    You haven't lived until you've tried a 1GHz G4. https://tenfourfox.blogspot.com/2017/11/and-now-for-something-completely.html

    Font's wrong too.

    PowerBook 500 series PPC upgrades

    A vague memory suggests that Newer actually made the Apple upgrade cards under contract, but I could be wrong about that. Anyway, nice find!

    My very first NeXTStation

    Actually, my favourite NeXTSTEP system is my SAIC Galaxy 1100, which is a PA-RISC HP 9000/712 in a MIL-SPEC portable workstation shell. It is very fast and runs 3.3 beautifully.

    Half Available RAM on GGlabs RAMGS/4

    Maybe your card *is* in backwards. The silkscreened names are upside down relative to mine, but looking at the same landmarks (the connectors next to it), the chips on the card should be facing towards the outside of the case. Can you post a picture of the reverse angle?

    Half Available RAM on GGlabs RAMGS/4

    Yeah, something's wrong. It should not need motherboard changes. A stupid question: is it inserted correctly? The card is not keyed. See the picture of my card here: https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-quest-for-wolfenstein-3d-music-on.html

    Getting an Amiga online in 2025

    My A4000T has a Zorro Ariadne card. It's not a particularly fast card, but it works. There is an 68K Amiga build of NetSurf you might try. It's slow even on this 68060, but it works, and you can access a lot more sites with it.
