Well that was a fun podcast, it was almost quite tense waiting to hear if the Mac OS upgrade worked!
Maybe there is a follow up podcast here, getting the Mac hooked up to the internet or something similar

An internet follow-up would be great. My next project just happens to be a Mac Classic II so I'd be quite interested in any tips.

I Finally got around to listening to the MAC episode last night on my way home from work. My latest attempt with the classic MACs is what's called a 'Mystic' upgrade. Basically you are taking a Color Classic, removing the logic board and replacing it with a more capable one from an LCii. I have not had luck becuase I am NOT a mac person and there is some (in Windows terms) registry hacking that needs to be done. I love these little machines. They take up very little space on a desk or work bench. There is alot of freeware that is still useful today. I wish there was PIC Programming software that ran on one for a dedicated programming machine. There are a couple downsides. One of my SE/30's has a 'cage' cooling fan. It sounds like a jet engine running. It drowns out the noisy hard drive. If you are not a MAC person, as Earl mentioned, getting software into them is a trick. A superdrive is a must.
I love the show Earl. Keep up the great work!!!
