NASA Lands Apple Powerbook G3 on Mars!
Fascinating that the CPU that the Mars Rover Curiosity uses is the equivalent of a 15 year old Powerbook G3.http://www.theregister.co.uk/2012/08/08/mars_probe_cpu/See More

JustSomeGuy replied to Hamilton's discussion Help - I need a ProDOS 1.2 Floppy in the group Pre-Mac Goodness"Yes he does. Now I think we need to stop speculating among ourselves and listen for a response from him ;-)
I'm also wondering if the machine is actually strapped to only have 32k, or if PRINT FRE(0) scared him into thinking there's…"
Wholly Mindless replied to Hamilton's discussion Help - I need a ProDOS 1.2 Floppy in the group Pre-Mac Goodness"Our requester only has 32k. It's been a long long time since anyone had less than 48k."
JustSomeGuy replied to Hamilton's discussion Help - I need a ProDOS 1.2 Floppy in the group Pre-Mac Goodness"No, it will tolerate 48k. It assumes 64k (there is a comment in the code... "doesn't everyone have 64k these days?" which dates back to the early 90's) but 48k will work."
Wholly Mindless replied to Hamilton's discussion Help - I need a ProDOS 1.2 Floppy in the group Pre-Mac Goodness"Did you mean "tolerate < 48k"?
Certainly leaving it 32k will impact its usefulness with all but the first few years of Apple ][ software."
JustSomeGuy replied to Hamilton's discussion Help - I need a ProDOS 1.2 Floppy in the group Pre-Mac Goodness"ADT (non-Pro) will tolerate 48k. The streaming audio idea will work - but again, programs will need to fit within the 32k of the receiving machine."
