Re: A83: Help
I will retract my previous statement about the first mac. I have an SE and what
I'm wondering is if my SE took 5 minuted to start Sys 7.5.1, how can you get any
performance out of the 8MH 68000 (same processor that my SE has)?? or did you
upgrade the processor? I like my Duo 280c with 24Mb ram and a 320Mb HD enough.
Running Mac OS 8.1 (Even without minor modification, having an SE Running System
7.1 can one-up a comparable PC, which would be...if we are judging on an
equivalent PC I think maybe a slow 486 or fast 386 would be equivalent!) My Duo
280c can do things that those dumb PIIs still can't do!
Long live the Mac!

P.S. Lets see if we can get a TI-89 or 92 to run Mac OS!
