    Skipping a confirmation alert and doing the OK code path?

    Thanks! That did the trick :) Looking at my previous tries the only bit I missed was a way to force the comparison. What reference do you recommend to figuring out the hex op codes? Also I notice that, at least on my emulated setup, the file can take up to a few seconds to be deleted which is...

    Skipping a confirmation alert and doing the OK code path?

    I am modifying FinderHack, https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/finderhack in two ways 1. change the hot key for "Move To Trash" (done with simple hex edit to change menu key from "T" 0x54 to "Backspace/Delete" 0x08) 2. to skip the confirmation dialog alert (I'm close but not there yet, help...

    OSX Alternative for HFVExplorer?

    HFSExplorer is the only one I know of. There is no install, you just download the files and double-click /bin/explorer to run. It would be nice if there was a more standard Mac app wrapper of it. At the command line there's also: hfsutils https://www.mars.org/home/rob/proj/hfs/ (there's no...

    Japanese MACLIFE magazine CD-ROM collection

    I'll keep looking as I image more discs. But I am interested in older stuff than the date of GBMac.

    I read that was only for registered users? Did you email the author? Use DeepL to compose your email in Japanese

    Japanese MACLIFE magazine CD-ROM collection

    No sign of GBMac on the discs I've imaged so far. But I found it here: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/10592-gbmac And here: https://hp.vector.co.jp/authors/VA009321/index2.html (and via searching for that filename on google)

    Japanese MACLIFE magazine CD-ROM collection

    I'll search my filename database soon. But until then each upload has a text file with all files listed in it.

    Japanese MACLIFE magazine CD-ROM collection

    I'm working on digitising a second collection from another publication but it's proving... expensive in terms of time and money.

    Macintosh Classic - not booting from HDD or ROM

    I'd buy reels if I had the intention of reselling as kits or had multiple Macs to do.  Would appreciate your part numbers, I may have more luck finding those locally. Or for you to send me some caps. Happy to pay including postage via PayPal.  I'll send you a PM @cheesestraws thank you.

    Macintosh Classic - not booting from HDD or ROM

    I've ordered an SCSI2SD and 2MB extra RAM.    Where do people recommend for cap kits?   Console5 are not shipping to the UK because Brexit and the into other one I can find on eBay ships from Russia. I don't really want to import, or buy more caps than I need.

    Macintosh Classic - not booting from HDD or ROM

    Looking more closely at the photos it does looks like there's a problem around C8.
