Connectix Speed Doubler 1.3.2

mrdav — Fri, 27 Jan 2012 07:07:34 +0000

Application file:

speed_doubler-image.zip

Speed Doubler includes three extensions: Speed Emulator (PowerPC only), Speed Access, and Speed Copy. The package is supposed to double the speed of 680x0 Emulation for Power Macs, speed disk access on all Macs, and improve Finder functions on all Macs. The installer insists that it is run from the master floppy disk; in practice any floppy disk will do. The download is a Disk Copy 4.2 image compressed with MacZip (use the same to uncompress).

Compatibility:

This version fixes a problem so that it will work with Mac OS 7.6

Connectix RAM Doubler 1.0.x

mrdav — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 12:03:04 +0000

Application file:

ram_doubler_1-0-1_1-0-2.zip

Here is an early version of RAM Doubler. I expect it will be of historical interest mainly. The installer for version 1.0.1 requires that it is run from the master disk. In practice, it will work from any floppy disk. I have included Disk Copy 4.2 images of the version 1.0.1 and 1.0.2 install disks, and the updater to version 1.0.2. Curiously, the updated version (1.0.2) does not require a floppy disk. Anyway, I have patched version 1.0.1 so that it does not ask for the master disk and have included the patched version in the archive. The download has been compressed with MacZip.

Compatibility:

Requires at least System 6.0.5 through to 7. Needs either a 68020, 68030 or 68040 processor and a Memory Management Unit (MMU)

Connectix RAM Doubler 2

Application file:

ramdoublertwo.sit

This is a Shrinkwrap 2.1 image of RAM Doubler 2.0 and the 2.0.2 updater. I thought this version deserved a page for itself, as it has certain advantages over the previous versions.

Connectix Surf Express 1.1x

Protonyx — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 12:16:19 +0000

Application file:

surf_express-11.sit

surf_express.iso

Perhaps an indispensable tool for dial-up users, Surf Express uses proprietary local caching and predictive pre-load and DNS look up, to substantially speed up internet activities.

Compatibility:

Minimum System Requirements
   • Any Macintosh computer with a PowerPC processor
   • Mac OS 7.5.x or higher, including Mac OS 8.0
   • 16 MB RAM
   • Standard (TCP/IP-based) Internet connection
   • 12 MB unused hard drive space
   • Microsoft Internet Explorer 3.0 or higher, or Netscape Navigator 3.0 or higher
   • Open Transport 1.1.2 or later

Compatibility Issues

Surf Express is incompatible with Spyglass Corporation's Surfwatch

Surf Express does not automatically launch with version 4.0.3 of the Microsoft Internet Library, which is installed with the 128 bit encryption upgrade for Microsoft Internet Explorer 4. While Connectix and Microsoft investigate a fix, there are two possible workarounds:

1. Before launching your browser, launch the Surf Express Proxy (inside the Data folder of the Connectix Surf Express folder) by double-clicking it.

-or-

2. Update to a newer version of Internet Explorer.

Connectix DoubleTalk

Protocol 7 — Sun, 08 Aug 2010 12:32:21 +0000

Application file:

connectix_doubletalktm.sit

I noticed there's a lot of Connectix stuff here but this one was missing.

DoubleTalk was similar to Thursby Software's DAVE in that it allowed a Mac to connect to a Windows network. Unlike DAVE it didn't allow Windows PCs to connect to a Mac and it also had some other shortcomings. You can read a review of the software here: http://www.applelinks.com/reviews/doubletalk.shtml

The archive includes 1.0 and the 1.1 updater.
