Thanks for uploading it Looks like GitHub does not know how to deal with /r line breaks. All the code is in a single line when reading it from a browser ;) Good thing that modern BBEdit still knows how to deal with legacy Mac OS line endings so that one can still read the code on a modern machine

Any chance that we can get all of this into a source version control repo so performance improvements can be coordinated? I am having visions of making Mac Doom on 68040 just as performant clock for clock as it is on the 80486

I have a similar NewerTech card except I have the version with the flex strip that allow the continued use of the HPV card. Tt works in my 7100/80 with the L2 cache still installed. The driver supposedly disables it according to the documentation. My 7100 is running 8.1 though

Even if it was restricted to OpenTransport that would cover all hardware with a 68030 and later.

I see your point on modern TLS browsing for 68K machines. But for more focused clients that are not web browsers,I guess I am a little more optimistic, If the above Windows 3.x example was able to get it working on 486 class hardware with a ChatGPT client I think that a 68040 should be able to...

In my web crawling today I came across an article about a WinGPT client for Windows 3.x. In that piece there was a paragraph where a developer was able to coax a TLS Library into building on a early 1990s version of Windows. https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/tls.html It got me thinking, right now...

I was browsing between different vintage parts lists and found that there were 3 different revisions of the Apple Ethernet NB NuBus Ethernet Card. 820-0417-A 820-0417-B 820-0417-C I was curious, what were the differences between each revision and which revision is the best one to lookout for...

I just saw this on my youtube feed and was instantly hooked. This could solve so may problems with resolution and sync scaling with vintage Macs. I was hoping to get it more exposure here before the kickstarter closes I apologize if this is against the rules but due to the low amount of...

The one big benefit of finding this out is that once the method is isolated. It should not be too much of an issue to bring it to an OpenTransport based networking stack. Since one of the limitations of the older equipment is that you can only run it in 24 bit memory addressing thus limiting you...

That was basically my primary concern, In that Reddit thread there were several folks saying that they made patches and I did not want this to end up as a situation where there were several Netatalk 2 forks and I would have to figure out which one to use. So I am glad that there is some effort a...

Hi everyone. I feel bad for barging in here but I wanted to comment that I think this is great that people starting to work on Netatalk again. A little over a year ago, I posted a thread to r/VintageApple asking if anyone knew the status of the project. Because I had started to fear that the...

So officially the last release for Mac OS 9 was 9.2.2 which was released in December 2001. Jobs then publically killed Mac OS 9 at WWDC 2002. But I was poking around at some of the versions of OS 9 that were distributed in some "Classic Support" CDs with the later PPC macs and I noticed that...
