GS/OS has to boot off of a ProDOS formatted partition. It doesn't support booting off of a HFS partition. By default, GS/OS installs ProDOS 8 and BASIC.SYSTEM to run 8-bit software.

It is likely a standard buffered analog video output circuit of some sort.

Read the description in the LC 630 tech note on Page 8 (PDF page 22). Also: The overlay function mixes the output of the video data frame buffer and the graphics data at the output stage (RAMDAC). They never share memory or otherwise interact with each other. A 68040 based machine can't handle...

The Valkyrie chip isn't drawing the output from the TV tuner card at all. The video is being painted onto the Valkyrie's display by a nifty overlay function. Think of it as two screens, the Valkyrie frame buffer with your desktop, and a black screen with just the video output, perfectly sized to...

Hopefully he has some of the other tools released by UMich stored away somewhere. There was apparently a Chooser extension that integrated with netatalk's printer server to view and delete print jobs in the queue, and an INIT to query printers for specific features see...

I wish there was a mirror of terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu. Besides Choosier and the source code, there were apparently a few Mac client applications related to netatalk that were developed that seem to be lost to time now.

I'd still like to know why Apple went the route of using ADSP vs. the established PAP for these. A few possible (likely wrong) reasons: -The printer's communication with the host couldn't easily support PAP. Looking at the notes on the lpstyl driver shows that these printers are really fussy...

For DOS 3.3 disks, there is the DOS.MASTER software to run them off of ProDOS hard drives. Many classic Apple II games have been deprotected and converted to ProDOS friendly form by qkumba as well. These appear in the "Total Replay" package.

Which setup is using ADSP? Is it the GrayShare/ColorShare software and/or the StyleWriter LocalTalk and EtherTalk connection boxes?

I suspect most everyone used PAP. My EPSON Stylus Color 900N spoke ESCP/2 and used PAP via its EPSON Type B network card. My HP LaserJets will all accept PCL via PAP as well. They just see the PCL magic string or PJL header and do language switching based on that. The DeskWriters are using...

Enjoy it while it lasts as CUPS 3.0 is going to break all that. Serial printing to an ImageWriter should still work with the ghostscript printer application, but nothing exists for pap printers yet.

Netatalk 2.3.2 incorporates those patches. Also color support for the ImageWriter II and LQ are "coming soon" to Ghostscript.

The 6100/7100/8100 AV cards have their own video chip and dedicated video output. The 7200/8200 lack video-inputs.
