Why Penguin-17
Why do we have to use Penguin-17? The only Penguin file I've got to work on
the IIci and LC III I have is the Penguin-17 file. The Penguin-18 file works
on the newer Quadra type boards ( my performa637 68LC040), but not on the
older boards I have with with 68030 cpus. Using Penguin-18 on the 68030's
freezes up right after the colors come on the screen.
That's a pretty picture of a Penguin sticking his head out of a Mac box, but
I often wonder if he got fed up trying to install Potato and broke his Mac
and used it for a necklace?
