Hardware / FPU for CCs have any noticeable effect?
March 11, 2014, 05:32 |
Well I ended up grabbing a mystic board and will use that while dabbling around on my CC but of course retaining the original board and will grab up an FPU for completeness. Thanks and thanks for the info on the opcode too. Cool old eloquent programming. |

Hardware / FPU for CCs have any noticeable effect?

I did a search first and didn't find a thread on it. In general use, does this have any effect to OSs snappiness? More to the point, did Apple write any OS level optimization if present and would non-Apple apps needed to write special code to take advantage of a FPU if present or is automatic to some extent? |

Software / Thanks! I'll rig the bootable restorer
March 05, 2014, 22:48 |
I'll copy the entire drive to the powerbook and work on the bootable restore disk testing it to the point of connecting via ethernet which will give me piece of mind in case of disk failure. Nice thing is, it's a 500mb drive so not original and thus not quite as old. The CC was very clean and had the carry case so it seemed well cared for and I hope for many more years of life but just in case...backup. It's been quite while since I dabbled in the classic OSs but some of it's coming back to me. Thanks again. |

Software / Classic drive backup and restore?
March 05, 2014, 05:57 |
I'm the proud new owner of a Color Classic (I found a gem) and have the software in a good spot and would like to create an image of the 500mb hard drive that would be restorable. Here's what I have: Mac Color Classic Apple PDS Ethernet Card Apple CD 300 System 7.6.1 with AppleTalk connectivity to a PBG4 running 10.4.x and Classic 9 OS 8.5 and 9 CDs 10 floppies I tried booting the a Net Install floppy which worked but would give me an warning on boot that ethernet appletalk was not available defaulting to localtalk. I'm guessing I need to customize my boot floppy to init the ethernet card and then can use diskcopy or some other tool to image the hard drive but not sure of how and what the best practices are. I would hope the same floppy could restore my image via ethernet in case of a drive failure and replacement. Is there a boot floppy image source already for what I need? If not, what would be the mother-of-all backup and restore via ethernet floppy stack? |
