Biggles 20X6!@NanoRaptor you may not like it but this is what peak performance looks like

Vaneshi@NanoRaptor I'd honestly buy one sans the carry handles.
Shawn@NanoRaptor What do the optional Skateboard Wheels and Trucks cost?
Huw Rowlands@NanoRaptor the trouble with these is it’s very hard to find the wireless ADB Connectors
patpro@NanoRaptor wait… NO WHEELS ??
｡ﾟ･\m\(＞Д＜＃)/m/･ﾟ｡@NanoRaptor Mac OS 9 really wasn’t suited for a resolution of 3840x2160

But after that chime happened you knew it wasn’t ever going to crash
Lotta headroom on that machine

It was also insecure and pretty rather than good. Porting NeXt's version of BSD as Mac OS X was one of the good things Steve Job organised.
Poor as a server OS compared to NT 3.5 or NT 3.51, Xenix, BSD or even IBM OS/ 2 or 1989 MS LanManager / MS OS/2.
I saw plenty of Macs back then (DTP etc), but no-one running a Mac Server.
Linux became a good choice in slightly later NT 4.0 Era.
@raymaccarthy @NanoRaptor what I said was a joke based on how small the interface looks on the image
💬@raymaccarthy @dada78641 @NanoRaptor as a workgroup server it’ll be running A/UX rather than straight MacOS. with 9.2 in the startmac environment I guess it’s A/UX 5.2?
@raymaccarthy @dada78641 @NanoRaptor (i had one client back in the day, a prepress place, who had an AWS95 running Appleshare Pro. i grabbed a copy of the A/UX install media to run on my Q800, my first home unix was pirated commercial rather than a BSD)

Makes more sense, but still a crazy thing for anyone to buy back then.

Merospit@NanoRaptor Such a pain having no button to eject the floppy disk.
Dr. Juande Santander-Vela@merospit @NanoRaptor so difficult to have the OS eject it, ensuring the OS unmounted it before ejection… pity that got lost for thumb and SD drives…
Colin@juandesant @merospit @NanoRaptor now I'm imagining a USB port that presents itself when nothing's plugged in, and when something is plugged in, it draws it in and hides it behind a flap. And won't eject / spit it out until its told to.
Barnibu@colinstu @juandesant @merospit @NanoRaptor no need, remember, there's two holes in the Male USB-A plug, just latch into those
Frost, ᛁᛊᛟᛚᚠᚱ 🐺❄️
@barnibu @colinstu @juandesant @merospit @NanoRaptor gods, can you imagine if it got stuck?
If you do this, make them magnetic (like, latched in place with a little electromagnet), so if you pull power from the computer you can remove your USB doohickeys.
Flaming Cheeto@NanoRaptor this was such an inefficient machine. I had to get up and go to the kitchen whenever I needed to grate my cheese.

Vito Sartori (ヴィト) 🦊@NanoRaptor I love it!
Amethyst 🌸@NanoRaptor damn that looks so good
@NanoRaptor I've been trawling eBay of late looking for Quadras, and while there are a handful of lesser machines, the number of apparently working 800 and 900 series available is staggering. All for big money too :-(
patter@NanoRaptor with those handles on top, feels like it should be painted in army green
