    Pink / Taligent / TalOS

    @tcole: I am not surprised. Didn't know that. I spent a lot of time on The BeOS back in the day. I still feel it would've been a great choice. So many "What-if's"

    Pink / Taligent / TalOS

    Hi Guys, This is something I've been researching on and off for a few years. Much as I can tell from a few sites and books: 1) Pink prototypes were running around the apple labs for a while and people seemed excited with it and developed experimental software for it. ~1988/1989 timeframe...

    Pink / Taligent / TalOS

    Copland came much later after the Taligent fallout and it was absorbed back into IBM. .. from what I've researched over the years.

    Pink / Taligent / TalOS

    Hi MrF, From what I've read was that Pink came first. It was running at apple and was quite popular around the labs. This was pre-aim alliance so I'm guessing it was potentially even on commodity mac hardware. The whole point of Taligent as I understand it from Apple's perspective was to get...

    Pink / Taligent / TalOS

    Does anyone know of any Pink distribution media? I've had fun over the years exploring OS/2 Warp Connect (Taligent with OS/2 personality), and have messed around with Copland (..and crashed a lot). I've never seen a dump of Pink before apple went off and joined the AIM alliance that spun out to...

    MacSE Mobius-30 33Mhz

    You are an absolutel Goldmine of info on these lovely old ladies :) Thank you for the manual. I intend to inhale it tonight as bedtime reading. Much appreciated. Having a skim through it, I'm wondering if I can run 4x1mb on the SE mainboard and 4x4mb on the Mobius030 for 20mb ram. MacOS 7.0.1...

    MacSE Mobius-30 33Mhz

    Hi. Does anyone have a scan of the Mobius 030 manual? Want to get this old girl I've been handed running. Not sure what the little daughter board north of the video card VRAM & Xilinx fpga does. The bit that has the 3-pole shunt. Also keen to have a play with the external video for...

    C++ namespaces

    Wait.. I'm using CodeWarrior 11 .. did they restart the naming sequence and start calling it "CodeWarror Pro" ? Nuts! No, I'm not doing it as a learning exercise as I've been doing it as a day-job for a couple of decades. It's just for fun. @nglevin: That was my confusion, as some of the...

    C++ namespaces

    Not really beyond wrapped by 3rd parties. I know. CW11 I'd have thought would've supported it. Couldn't see any ISO C++ compiler options either. Hrrm. Thanks though. Hopefully someone else with more $CLU than us rocks up. :)

    NetBSD and NuBus cards

    I'd like to correct myself. NetBSD does support PPC601 now. :>

    C++ namespaces

    $Greetings. :) I'm trying to find a compiler for 68k that supports C++ namespaces and ideally also with namespace aliasing support. I've tried Symantec C++ v8r6 and CodeWarrior v11. Anyone recommend one? (Happy to pay if it's not abandonware). Current setup: O/S: 7.6.1 System: LC-III...
