IIRC it was shipped with PC-133, but I haven’t mess with my eMac in 20 years… so could be bad memory (no pun intended).

But I had an unholy 256+512MB configuration so anyway I gonna max them both to 1GB.

Just need to check if it had enough space to put an IDE/SATA adapter and go SSD on them too.

I’ll look into it, but seems the original 700MHz is not a good candidate… 😞
Will see, even just cranking that old 100MHz to 133 will be a nice upgrade.

1.5GHz?!?

Wow! 🤯

Need to pull out of storage my two 700MHz (early ones) units to remove the ticking bomb inside that is the PRAM battery.

I used to play Warcraft III on these despite the quite limited GeForce 2 MX.

I don’t miss the size nor noise,
But that LG CRT was hell of screen.

Also eyeTV just use to work under elgato.

Can’t use an retro computer for this here since we moved to DVB HD, anything below a core something lag. 😞

Also. 10.4 Tiger. I miss it.

On a fait la connerie de vendre notre exemplaire une misère y’a 20 ans…
Avec capitain blood, skweek et d’autres soft originaux pas courants.

Amères remords.

(En vrai à l’époque j’ai joué 5min au jeu il m’a angoissé sévère 😅)

Well assuming it’s properly configured.

And nothing goes wrong.

And there is no way to reach through the ISP network.

… this never happens …

… right hehe! …

Anything that runs on AllegroSoft RomPager 4.34 and earlier.
This is the Misfortune Cookie attack.

Important to note AllegroSoft did patch the vulnerability years before it was discovered in 2014.
But many manufacturer didn’t bother updating the RomPager version in their firmware in years.

Not exactly IoT but a DSLAM, possible denial of service by just sending a bad cookie or a long enough password on the admin page.
No big deal 🙃
To people not knowing what a DSLAM is: imagine the thing that gave you internet could die with an attacker pressing F5 on his browser every 2 min. It’s bad.

Le jour où sort un émulateur de lecteur CD par le réseau qui fait du SCSI/IDE/SATA je numérise tout et fini les CD égarés.

Et oui y’a des émulateurs via carte SD mais pour charger des gigas d’isos c’est pas pratique.

Solution temporaire, me faire des copies que je pourrais perdre. LOL.
