Hi There:
I found the following reference regarding powerbooks prepared by Paul J.
Lucas very helpful (even though I use a G3 beige minitower). I expect the
reference is still available:
www.best.com/~pjl/personal/powerbook/x.html
Perhaps your efforts should be linked with his?
My own questions: Does anyone know if there exists a version of Basic which
works with the YDL/RedHat distribution? I'm looking for something as
seamless as the f77 compiler already included.
Also how do I include a new driver such that Linux recognizes it via
printtools?
I hope the above tidbit is useful. May this New Year (and those to come) be
uplifting and enlightening for us all from this third day of the year
forward. Sincerely, Derick Centeno
