    Just found a small but good looking FTP server...

    Recommended mirroring: (instead of reading... :p .. eh.. anyway) ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/ It has goodies like /pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/ (27 files, 24 likely ROMs) and /pub/apple_II/unsorted/Apple%20MAC%20emulation.zip (NOTE: 147MB) :b&w: ;D Found it while looking for...

    Emulating a Mac LC 475 from real data

    Disclaimer: Never tried this random guess myself, I have no idea if it will work. I don't know if BasiliskII is equivalent to an LC 475 in terms of emulation - it is if the 475 can't run Mac OS 8 or later, afaik: 1. Find a PC with SCSI support on the mobo (these instructions only apply if said...

    Newtons, nBlog, and blogging: opinions?

    Well, I can't really recommend much about the newton but I can recommend the next best thing - the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (collectively known as the "N810", as I've seen). This PDA-like gadget has wifi, bluetooth, both on-screen (in certain situations) and flip-out keyboards, and... runs a...

    Compromised floppy disks, source of malfunction unknown

    All I can say is this: copy protection notwithstanding, find a copy of DART or Disk Copy and back them up NOW. If some of them have disintegrated, this is a warning that they've reached the end of their life and they eventually all will. -dav7

    Where is The Line that Is Verry Opisite Of Cold?

    If you need any help setting stuff up, count me in. If the server runs Mac OS it'll be a learning experience, but I do know how to use Linux. :p I also know HTML/CSS (although I don't like it), PHP and C, so I can help with writing stuff if that helps. Also, I PMed you a few URLs you might...

    Har! I has new headphones!

    I haz KOSS UR20s here. :p The old pair got so used (I listen to music 25 hours a day, 8 days a week ( ;D )) and abused (they either go *crash* or *clunk* when I need to leave the computer, or *plonk* when I need to quickly leave the computer) that they more or less died (can has red duct tape...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    I think what I want to make is more of a simulator: something that achieves two goals, to run at a set (slow) speed so that graphics redraw slowly (one target), and that displays at 1bpp (the other target). I'm not too sure how to achieve something like this, but I think it'd probably be fun...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    Wow O.o This sounds interesting and all but I don't find "systems programming" very interesting - I'm more of a GUI designer. Occasionally I get sparks of interest in doing something non-graphical - like this - but... eep. This would probably work out to be way too boring (with sporadic...

    Macintosh Garden offline?

    This is a bit of a closed thread, but I just wanted to mention that the archive does actually archive non-HTML pages. Not sure if it's accidental or whatever, but this philosophy will probably cover all bases: If it looked like something just downloaded from the web archive and it worked, back...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    Ah. I see what you mean. Well, since this is merely because I want to write one, I'd probably want the frequency to represent how often I want the "execute" loop to run, so, at 1MHz, the execute loop would run 1 million times per second. That doesn't mean the whole program will be run 1...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    returningmacuser, Dennis Nedry: MicroMac and µMac sound nice... but I don't actually want to emulate a Mac. porter: What I want to "emulate" isn't a real PC, so I don't really know if it could be called emulating. It is indeed a fictitious computer. And my speed reference refers to how fast I...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    [ To achieve a more widespread response, this post has been duplicated at archlinux.org (my distribution's forum). ] As a sort of toy to play with in recognition of old technology, I want to try my hand at writing a kind of emulator similar to an old Macintosh, except using simpler principles...
