you should buy a G3 Aio from me, then take the SCSI Zip Drive out and install it into your lc 475, put some electrical tape around the front of the drive so the disk does not eject, wala 100 mb scsi hard drive 🙂 i am going to do the same to my powermac 6100, when i get some time 🙂

Just based on my own experience with Zip Disks; is it wise to use one as a mission-critical storage device?

I put an MO drive in

. It's actually a little faster than my HDD.

I found THINK (Lightspeed) C 3! It runs from a floppy with a RAM disk on 700 K of RAM! Yippeeeeeee 🙂 ! (Sorry, I can't stop jumping up and down, even though it was about a week ago!)

I'm currently writing a Virtual Rubik's Cube (I did a Windows one a while ago).

If PowerPup might once more permit me to use his topic for my programming blog, I have now finished the Cube! It's even better than the Windows version, particularly seeing as I could make it so you could drag the cube, rather than have to click separate buttons (Macs are easier to program than PCs). The two things that it lacks are:

-Colour (OK, I could use Colour QuickDraw, but I'm too lazy to figure out how),

-True 3D display (you can only have orthographic display because I couldn't figure out the calculations for two-point perspective).

But it's still better than the Windows version, even though you can't save the cube state (I haven't figured file handling out yet), or added a solve function (I felt a bit sorry for my poor Mac's CPU trying to do such a big task).
