    NEW GAME for 68k based Macs - VergeWorld: Icarus

    That's insanely incredible! 8-o You've really got something in the making here! I'll happily buy a copy when it's released! :D Do you have any plans on recording Programming sessions? (I love watching/learning the process of coding for these old machines.)

    8 Pin MiniDIN to USB?

    dougg3 did some amazing work using a BeagleBone Black and his own custom cape that utilized a LPC11U68 microcontroller and the Zilog Z85C30 SCC: https://mac68k.info/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=275 Some new old stock of Z8030 DIP40 ICs have shown up on ebay...

    MkLinux DR3 installation errors -- what am I doing wrong?

    MkLinux DR3 came out July 1998. I'd try the ISO of MkLinux R2rc5 I uploaded to MacintoshGarden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mklinux (R2rc4 was released Aug. 2004) I was able to install MkLinux R2rc5 on my PowerMac 6100 just fine. Hopefully it'll work fine on your PowerBook 3400.

    Stuffit Magic Numbers

    The GitHub mirror for The Unarchiver have some amazing, reverse-engineered, documentation on the Stuffit Formats: https://github.com/mietek/theunarchiver/wiki/StuffItFormat https://github.com/mietek/theunarchiver/wiki/StuffIt5Format

    A Wiki for Classic development?

    I think adding more info on Classic Mac OS programming would be great for our existing Wiki. (wiki.68kmla.org) I think self-registration is disabled to prevent spammers, so you'll need to ask an admin to make a wiki account for you. While I haven't yet fully delved into programming with the...

    No problem! Yeah Photoshop is difficult to outright replace, but I'm always happy to help others...

    No problem! Yeah Photoshop is difficult to outright replace, but I'm always happy to help others find Open Source alternatives in case they find them useful!

    Self-Contained POTS System?

    If you want to go hardcore and build some circuits, you can totally make a self-contained PBX system: http://wandel.ca/homepage/pbx.html http://www.instructables.com/id/Homemade-Intercom-PBX-With-GPIO/

    PDF reader

    My guess is you're probably thinking about the Retro68 project for GCC: https://github.com/autc04/Retro68 The MuPDF library would be a potential candidate for porting to classic Mac OS, it is written in "portable C" (no external dependencies and modular components.) https://mupdf.com/ Ack, if...

    Mac Software Preservation Efforts

    There are several Mac software preservation projects, including MacGUI, Macintosh Garden, and Macintosh Repository being the most popular that I'm aware of. You could also use GitHub or GitLab to host the source code since it is being released under GPL. I could probably help out with getting...

    F-Secure SSH Client for MacOS 9

    So I looked up OpenSSH's FreeBSD man page: https://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?sshd_config(5) (I've made some lines bold and/or italic for emphasis.) MacSSH appears to be failing during the Key Exchange Algorithm Negotiation because, although "diffie-hellman-group1-sha1" is supported...

    F-Secure SSH Client for MacOS 9

    I'm not sure I know what "UNIX ISP" means... Is that a UNIX VPS that you have through your ISP? Do you know how its SSH server is configured, such as which ciphers are allowed? MacSSH seems to support a fair number of encryption ciphers and message authentication codes (macs)...

    MkLinux DR 2.1 DR 3 Power Macintosh 6100

    In order to use MkLinux, you still have to have Mac OS installed in order to have the MkLinux bootloader extension/control-panel to execute. So you don't have to give up on using Mac OS 8.1 to give MkLinux a try. I put a 4GB HDD in my PowerMac 6100, and partitioned it 2GB for MkLinux and 2GB for...

    Netatalk docker container

    Very cool! I might take a look at forking this sometime and making a docker container for the Netatalk 2.2.x series (For legacy DDP networking support.)

    Theming resources for Mac OS 8 (68k)

    How have Window Monkey, Gravite or Zipple not been mentioned yet?! Granted Gravite is more about eye candy than actual theming, but it's still cool.
