My Herd
Submitted by doug-doug the mighty on May 21, 2018 - 6:43am
To keep track of what I have up and running (and to keep tabs on each build) I have a running list of my systems. Every Mac is special and has a name. Laptops are named after starships, desktops after space stations, wifi hubs after stars, hard drives after planets, media after moons, handheld devices after ...handheld devices.
| === Class === | + | == Name === | + | == Notes =================================== |
| AirPort (M8799LL/A) | | | Sol | | | A model A1034 (flying saucer) AP Extreme (with 56k modem). Network is Terran System. |
| AirPort (M8930LL/A) | | | Proxima Centauri | | | A model A1034 (flying saucer) AP Extreme. Network is Alpha Centauri. |
| AirPort | | | Betelgeuse | | | A 3TB Time Capsule. Network is Orion-Cygnus Arm. |
| ------------------- | + | ------------------ | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Desktop | | | Deep Space Nine | | | A Quicksilver (MDD), named for its curved handles and desk-space proximity to Defiant. |
| Desktop | | | Space Dock One | | | A late 2012 "Core i5", located at my permanent residence. Specs are pretty vanilla and it runs 10.14.6 (Mojave). |
| Desktop | | | Connie | | | I know, not a space station's name, but this upgraded PM 8600/G3 500 (Kansas) pre-dates my conventions and is still my flagship. It is named after the feedback character used by SpeakableItems. |
| Desktop | | | Jenga | | | Another system pre-dating my naming convention, this Mac Clone is named after Jenga Fett, the father of all Clones! - spec are forthcoming. |
| Desktop | | | K-7 | | | This mid 2010 "Core i3" iMac is my main desktop for working from home at my jobsite location. |

| Laptop | | | Enterprise D | | | A 17" Santa Rosa, currently has a mobo in need of replacement... |
| Laptop | | | Voyager | | | A D2, currently my go-to laptop. |
| Laptop | | | Enterprise B | | | This early 2004 iBook G4, was just resurrected from my garage. It was abandoned back in 2013 when it “died” with a weird message indicating bad memory or a bad mobo after years of stable operation. On a whim, I pulled it out and stuck in a hard drive set up for X.4.11 (a clone drive from Enterprise A) and it came to life. I thought the 2013 fail odd given that the RAM was securely set but did re-seat it to no avail. Anyways, it is now alive and needs a new battery. I have it running Sorbet Tiger (X.4.12). It shares the same hard drive hardware setup as Enterprise A but not as a RAID. |
| Laptop | | | Enterprise A | | | A solid Pismo currently serving as a system for my garage workbench. The hard drive on this machine consists of 4x 64GB Micro SD Cards in dual port CF Adapters, plugged into a CF-IDE adapter, configured as a mirrored RAID volume. |
| Laptop | | | Enterprise | | | A solid PDQ for my Newton. Its running 9.2.2 on a 500MHz PPC G4 with 512MB RAM. |
| Laptop | | | Rio Grande | | | An eMate 300. Named after the Danube Class of Runabouts from DS9 (an from the excellent suggestion from Tom Owad. I cannot find it in my garage right now but will look again later when I have the time. |
| ------------------- | + | ------------------ | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Other | | | Reliant | | | A Classic Mac OS running on a Raspberry Pi - specs forthcoming. |
| Other | | | ...as yet unnamed... | | | An under-development MagicMirror instance running on a Raspberry Pi - specs forthcoming. |
| Other | | | ...as yet unnamed... | | | A failed attempt at Einstein running on a Raspberry Pi. Need to try again from scratch - later, when my Linuxing skills grow a bit. |
| Other | | | Strawberry Milkshake | | | A 2GB iPod Shuffle (Wheel) named for an obscure reference to an even more obscure sci-fi short whose title I can not recall... |
| ------------------- | + | ------------------ | + | ------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Handheld | | | H2G2 - PE | | | iPhone 6. Named for Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Pocket Edition - specs forthcoming. |
| Handheld | | | H2G2 - QRG | | | A gold, 16GB iPhone 5s. Named for Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - Quick Reference Guide. Serves as the 'living room iPod' with my Bose SoundDock XT |
| Handheld | | | Communicator | | | iPhone 3, 8GB. Like an STOS Communicator, it has a stylish silver front - specs forthcoming. |
| Handheld | | | ...as yet unnamed... | | | a Newton MP2100 |
| Handheld | | | ...as yet unnamed... | | | a Newton MP100 |

I think the eMate is Danube
I think the eMate is Danube class.
So named.
"Rio Grande" it is!
The only Runabout to survive the entire series.

Anything with a mirror needs to be Terran.
