A speed test of one of those SCSI-2 Boosters would be nice. Probably use a RAM disk on the Rocket itself, but across NuBus would be nice too. My Rocket 33 came with a DSP Booster, but it didn't work, and would cause the Rocket to crash in RocketShare. It's since gone missing. TBH I don't think...

I've seen two clears in real life. It's kinda cool. But you are right -- it's a uber privilege to own one of those. I'm sure the plastics on the Portable won't win many awards, but the clears are probably worse, because without the filler that gives it that color, it's weaker from the...

You won't get a more modern browser for a multiple reasons. A) Security. Most sites these days require SSL v2 or v3, and at least TLS 1.2 but 1.3 is the norm last I checked. B) Bloat. A Macintosh SE/30 would load Google in about 30 seconds, if that's still possible, but that was 10 years ago...

Now just to add a clear one to your collection...

Can you elaborate more on this? In addition, a Ethernet to WiFi bridge may not be what he's looking for. If he wants to download some things off the internet, what's wrong with just using Ethernet alone?

Sorry. It is the 5120.

With that amount of lighting it should be pretty clear. I only have one image of a Portable, and it looked almost identically to this in real life. It's actually kind of surprising how crisp it looks like, probably because it's only 1 bit. That was with window shades pulled up to the right...

ya. The one I fooled around with would refuse to boot OS X 10.0.3. Boot loops, broken folder icon and other weird things. Somehow I managed to get Rhapsody 5.6 installed on it though. It's not the type of System I would keep very long. Build quality is unimpressive and the whole package is...

Ah I see what's the difference. I use Tiger to do most of my pre-OS X stuff, it's a bridge between modern systems and old systems. 10.5.8 was the last to write HFS, so yeah I can see that. Your main issue is that you don't always know what you're dealing with. Is it a Stuffit 1.5.1 archive...

I use a "swap" disk image. A .dmg image file that works like a transfer disk. Open it on macOS, drop what you got in there, unmount it, drag the .dmg into Mini vMac, extract it. As long as you don't try to open the image in two environments at once, you won't get corruption.

Like the simplistic webpage. I would change the white arrows used to point towards areas being zoomed to a different color, like red or green.

I did a comparison test with FTP yesterday, results are in the Data Transfer Rates section. MacBinary II (transferred as raw data, in the Binary mode) encoded files are indeed faster to send over the wires. You get about a 10% speed hit, ish, by using BinHex encoded ASCII files. I don't think...

http://applefool.com/se30/moreinfo.html#easyshare That is, assuming you have a 128K mac, not a 128K ROM mac. The 128K should have the 64K ROMs yes? Suppose you swapped in the 128K ROMs into a 128K Mac?

Oh of course. I've used System 6 on a 512Ke, and I wou...wouldn't recommend it. It's not slow, but it's not as fast as S3.3/F5.4, and you notice the memory is less than it was before. Since you have a 128K, have you tried doing a 128Ke? I am curious about whether EasyShare would work on such a...

ya. I don't think I could endure a Color Classic without an accelerator. Which one? Obviously the Sonnet Presto Plus, with a '040, extra memory, and Ethernet too? Sold. Which is funny because it's not that much different than the LC II. Over at VCF, there's a member there who loves to dump on...
