    OS9 Programming & UTF-8

    I never got around to implementing this feature, but I did find some conversion functions in Apple's headers. I was scared off by the long prototypes though, and I think they were part of ATSUI which AFAICT is OS 8.5+ only, so it wasn't perfect for my usecase (aiming for 7.5.5 compatibility).

    The Best 12" iBook

    Beautiful! I still have a 12" 1.33GHz as well, bought it new cause I had one of the G3 iBooks that kept having graphics issues and needing to be sent in for repairs (Apple extended the warranty on that model!). Unlike yours, my G4 is scratched up and dirty and the hard drive's on its last...

    Looks like TLS 1.3 has been made to work on Windows 3.1. Can the same be done for System 7?

    Is it possible to use retro68 to compile a library and then link to it from Codewarrior? I like actually using my Mac to code.

    Watching this with great interest!

    Digidesign NuBus expansion box

    I know this is an old thread, there was another Pro Tools thread that unfortunately got lost in the crash, but it should be known that one can, in fact, setup a PTIII Nubus system with just software from the Garden. No need to find floppies.

    Various questions involving PowerMac 7100, 8100 and Pro Tools

    I don't think HUI cares about the hardware you're using. If you're running the right version of PT, it'll work.

    Various questions involving PowerMac 7100, 8100 and Pro Tools

    I don't know, I've also seen both. It might be more complicated than that - maybe they work with some drivers but not others. Where in the world are you? I've got three original 882s that definitely do work with Nubus, and that's probably at least one too many.

    As far as how many boards you get, OSH Park (oshpark.com) will only send you three. I understand you though, fiber glass is extremely nasty from an environmental perspective and I don't like buying more than I need either.

    You should think of making PCBs as a hobby in itself - if it's something you're interested in, go for it, but like anything else, the people at the factories really know what they're doing. If you've never worked with boards without solder mask and through-plated holes, believe me when I say...

    The Pro Audio Spectrum 16 NuBus's YMF262 FM synthesizer...

    I think that's just how the YMF262 works? It has two address pins, and the writing to addresses 0b00 and 0b01 are "address writes", writing to 0b1x is a "data write". In general, since all the chips are the same, I'd work from the assumption that it's the simplest adaptation of the ISA version...

    AudioMedia II has normal digital I/O, so you can use it with many converters if you like. The Sound Accelerator has some custom connection to a breakout box. As for upgrade culture, you're very much right. It goes way back - I actually saw a website on archive.org that referred to NuBus PT...

    Various questions involving PowerMac 7100, 8100 and Pro Tools

    I used a SCSI2SD, actually. It's still HFS and I don't think you even need to reformat. I don't think there's anything like an incompatible drive, it's just SCSI. You might come across mentions of certain drives being "certified", but that doesn't mean that other drives are incompatible. The...

    For SampleCell quality, yeah, I think it sounds good. It's not obviously lofi. It's a sampler, the most important thing is what you put in. The filter isn't that great, though, but on the other hand you've got easy access to all the processing you want in the computer. So in some ways it should...

    Various questions involving PowerMac 7100, 8100 and Pro Tools

    You mean load a sample and then play it across the keys on an external keyboard? That's pretty much what it's made for! It shows up as an input/output in OMS just like the ports on your MIDI interface. I think you can tell the SampleCell editor to listen directly to an input when it's in the...

    Various questions involving PowerMac 7100, 8100 and Pro Tools

    You can get it straight from the horse's mouth, actually: http://archive.digidesign.com/download/legacy/sc2mac/ I rambled a bit about the SampleCell here: https://rven.se/samplecell/ It's a nice workflow. If you like to get experimental, TurboSynth, SampleCell and a sequencer combine to make...

    Various questions involving PowerMac 7100, 8100 and Pro Tools

    I don't know for certain if it applies to ProTools authorizations, but I've that these copy protected disks tend to use the floppies in somewhat non-standard ways (to prevent copying) that USB floppy drives don't know how to read. Something about a USB floppy drive being less directly controlled...

    Various questions involving PowerMac 7100, 8100 and Pro Tools

    I never bothered with the floppies, but I still have them. I don't think they have authorizations left on them, anyway, so I just relied on cracks. All of this was a while ago, but I'm fairly sure everything came from this archive...

    Various questions involving PowerMac 7100, 8100 and Pro Tools

    I had a setup with ProTools 4.2, I think it was, on a 7100/80 (the last version you can get to run on System 7 by installing a newer version of OpenTransport). I bought two different setups without computers and set everything up myself. I did get some floppies with one of the bundles I got but...

    alternatives for WPA2 networking under OS9

    Yeah, I'm sceptical about MAC filters and limiting connections as well. Hiding your wifi is also purely cosmetic. Not sure if anyone's brought up a coffee shop-style captive portal (I think some routers have that built in now?), but that's also a nuisance more than actual security. A 50...

    alternatives for WPA2 networking under OS9

    Let's just say that I'm well aware of how easy it is to overcome WEP. It used to be quite handy :) The legal responsibility you mention is not, to my knowledge, entirely universal and I honestly think you're overstating the risk. Maybe it depends on where you live. Either way, there are easier...
