should I run mac os 8 or 9 when I get this ibook

or X I guess

iirc you can go up to os x 10.4 but idk (if u mean the firewire clamshells)

you can only have a maximum of 576 MB of ram and its kinda slow running 10.4 but u can try it


i think only a very few early production ibooks can run anything less that os9 anyway


just go w/ os 9.22

when I was using my no-firewire clamshell as a daily driver I think I had some kind of linux on it. I want to say gentoo


i remember yellow dog linux being a thing for those ibooks



i think the local compusa had it on one of their display ibooks back in the day

I got my Jaguar for about $50 and now people want $150 for them on ebay. $50 gets you the empty plastic shell or a "Like New L@@K" empty Jaguar box.

edit: the local "retro" game shop didn't have any Jaguars.


i picked up my jaguar for 60 bucks from craigslist with a working jaguar CD and a bunch of games and accessories


i sold the jaguar CD later on because of the "11 games and none good" and also the "this is guaranteed to unrepairably break one day" issues

does anyone have that article some engineer wrote about writing the copy protection for a playstation 1 game, I think it was crash bandicoot? It's a pretty pro read.

In other news, holy optimism batman. I pity the poor bastard that needs to pay that kind of cash for that kind of ancient crap because of some bullshit they have to keep running on their network. The last time I saw one of those in person it was in the $5 bargain bin at a used computer parts warehouse, and that was over a decade ago.



that shits not even surprising for ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-OptiPl...gUAAOSw8-tWU5If



thats not even out of the ordinary, theres all sorts of "vintage gaming computer" with a pentium 2 that people are trying to sell for like 300 dollars or more
