    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    So, after the first boot I restart after the kernel rebuild completes, I get the login screen, log in w default l/pw, but then I get stuck here…the SCSI2SD blinks every so often but I can’t cancel or force quit. I shut down and restarted once and immediately landed in fsck hell…And ideas? I...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    Brilliant - thank you @uyjulian ! That worked! For future readers, I booted from a 7.5.5 install (floppyemu) that had silverlining 5.8.3 on it. I ran it and 'installed' the basic software onto SCSI ID0, taking the default loop options (Macintosh, not Silverlining) and that was pretty much it. I...

    G3 iMac 4X DVD (slot load) problems (678-0232)

    I found and read the excellent slot-loading rebuild guide, but that guide is really for the common problem of the discs not ejecting. I couldn't find any information on other types of failures - my problem is that CDs and DVDs no longer read successfully. When the CD or DVD successfully reads...

    [A/UX] Drop-in clean A/UX install image for SCSI2SD

    Sorry for the necro-post but I think this is the appropriate thread...I just purchased a v5.0 SCSI2SD and trying to use the image linked from the Github, along w/ the instructions. This is on a IIci, and I know the hardware works because I was able to successfully install from floppyemu+CD...

    Print to HP Laserjet directly via serial (IIci or Mac Plus)

    I'm looking to connect either my IIci or Mac Plus to my HP Laserjet 4050 directly via serial. Is this possible to do without any special drivers? If so, does anyone have a cable pinout they can share? I've tried a few variations and not having any luck. I'm using the mini-DIN8 port with the...

    Apple CD SC ejects discs

    This thread helped me bring my AppleCD SC back to life - see attached before and after pics of the dirty lens. As OP mentions, you can hear the laser trying to focus even before spinup, but then it just ejects the caddy after a few moments. A quick clean with lenspaper and lens cleaning solution...

    Import files recognized as Classic App to Plus/Minivmac

    Ok, it's super convoluted and roundabout, but I figured this out for anyone watching - this even works in 10.13.16. Mini vMac has a zip utility you can add/install called MiniUnZp - it's unintuitive how you use this - it expects a single co-located file with a specific filename (arc.zip). You...

    Import files recognized as Classic App to Plus/Minivmac

    So far, chicken and egg with that version at least from macintoshgarden (also doesn't open in 4.0 and resolves as an App Classic in OSX)...will see if I can find a .dsk or .img version...

    Import files recognized as Classic App to Plus/Minivmac

    There are a variety of file types up on macintoshrepository.org and similar sites. I'm building a HD image on Mini vMac to use on a Mac Plus. I'm doing this on a Macbook pro running 10.13. .dmg files, .img, .dsk files are easy to mount directly in Mini vMac as disks and then you can just copy...

    hello world in C on OS 6.0.8 in MPW 3.1

    Ok, maybe I will try to replace Runtime.o or take one from a different MPW version/collection. I brought these files over from macintosh garden I think, to Mini vMac to a hard drive image to a Floppy EMU that is plugged into my Plus. Haven't had any other issues with corrupted files, so I'd be...

    hello world in C on OS 6.0.8 in MPW 3.1

    Thanks - I tried this, but actually still get the exact same error. I can tell that the libraries are being found, because if I misspell one, I get an error 'Bad parameter' complaining about the path for that particular library .o file.  I assume your ∂ marks just mean to continue on the same...

    hello world in C on OS 6.0.8 in MPW 3.1

    I have no idea! :)   I'm just piecing together the breadcrumbs I found on a few sites, including these pages: http://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/appc/ https://wiki.68kmla.org/C/C%2B%2B_Programming_for_68k https://github.com/autc04/Retro68/tree/master/Samples/HelloWorld I did come across...

    hello world in C on OS 6.0.8 in MPW 3.1

    I'm trying to write a simple Hello World! in C in MPW on my Mac Plus running 6.0.8. I've gotten as far as getting MPW 3.1 installed - I have the C compiler and the link linker.  I have what I believe are the right C libraries and interfaces - my program is the same as the one in the wiki...

    IIe card in a Quadra 700?

    I've been trying to find out definitively whether the Quadra 700 supports a IIe card before buying one (the Quadra - I already have the IIe card). Anyone have experience with a IIe card on a Quadra 700? I read somewhere that the PDS slot in a Quadra 700 is not the LC type, and so the IIe card...

    Moving files from OSX to Mac Plus 6.0.8 via FTP

    Hi all - I've revived a multi-year project to get my Mac Plus online via ethernet (Asante EN/SC) and have finally succeeded in getting it to speak IP natively! I expected it to be relatively easy to move files from the internet onto the machine, by hopping through my OSX laptop, but finding it...

    Mac Plus Networking Question

    Hi all - appreciate any help or information you may have - I'm looking to get my 4MB Mac Plus speaking TCP/IP. I want to use it as a terminal to telnet to other hosts on an IP / Ethernet network. I have system 6.0.8, and an Asante EN/SC SCSI ethernet adapter. I am a networking guy, so once I...
