]]> Comment on Getting reacquainted with classic Mac OS computers by spanky http://classicmacs.org/2010/04/getting-reacquainted-with-classic-mac-os-computers/comment-page-1/#comment-6 spanky Sat, 10 Apr 2010 04:53:32 +0000 http://classicmacs.org/?p=50#comment-6 So after thinking about this a bit I have realized that fitting 3 different operating systems on the hard drive is sure to exceed the capacity of the current 4.5G HDD. Mac OS X 10.4 demands 3G by itself. Tiger also wants a minimum of 256 MB of RAM (but realistically needs 512) so it look like a couple of upgrades are in order to realize the plan of a triple-booting Lombard. Fortunately MacWorld has some tips on these exact tasks: http://www.macworld.com/article/1719/2003/01/upgrade.html So after thinking about this a bit I have realized that fitting 3 different operating systems on the hard drive is sure to exceed the capacity of the current 4.5G HDD.

To connect to a password protected network it has to be configured with a Windows-only application that's provided on an included CD. I used Parallels to run it on my MacBook Pro. Once I've done some testing I'll let you know if I feel confident enough to entrust the web server to using it.

]]> Comment on Running MacHTTP off a RAM disk? by Glenn http://classicmacs.org/2008/11/running-machttp-off-a-ram-disk/comment-page-1/#comment-2 Glenn Thu, 04 Dec 2008 19:34:00 +0000 http://classicmacs.org/?p=10#comment-2 I've not found a way to get the hard disk to spin down on the Color Classic despite running MacHTTP off a RAM disk. It looks like this option for power savings may be unique to PowerBooks for Mac OS 7.6.1; the only energy saving option available on the CC is to dim the screen after a specified amount of time.
