Hi all, I have been looking around for a Macintosh SE FDHD or SuperDrive, does the model number M5011 match this type of SE uniquely? I have seen many ebay listings of SE M5011, but they do not have the FDHD nor SuperDrive mark; can they be considered FDHD? Thanks, Antonio

Yeah I had a look, but the prospect of learning the whole development system, which doesn't look to be the friendliest around, is daunting. Plus, it doesn't seem to have an integrated debugger which I can run "on the fly." As I said, I'd like something like Devpac on the Amiga and ST, which has...

Thanks for the reply! I have used Think C, but I am really after a pure assembler with symbolic debugger. Something like Devpac on the Atari/Amiga machines. I have found McAssemly 7.6 which at least has a smallish intro document showing the main characteristics; I'll see what I can do with...

Nobody?! :(

Hi all, I am looking for tutorials or manuals for MacASM. I downloaded the software (v1.2), but I only managed to guess a few commands. Any other simple assembler which comes with instructions? I plan on running them under vMac. It seems no effort at digitally storing the documentation for...

Hi, which of the Macintosh models (apart from the 128, 512, 512e and Plus) worked without needing a fan?

Hi all, before investing in buying these books, I'd like to know a little bit more about their contents. I have read that vol. 4 deals with Mac Plus, vol. 5 deals with Mac II and SE. Can anybody shed some more light on the contents? Do they go (more or less) in-depth in these models like...

Thread necromancy. A/UX 3.1.1 runs perfectly on the Macintosh SE/30. Mine has 16Mb and 250Mb hard disk. What I have found is that there are different file versions of the 3.1 upgrade, some of them are corrupted and can give the problems reported by the OP (I experienced them once.) In...

FOUND IT! (the A/UX 2.0.1 update) ...or rather, an incomplete version of it. After much searching, I contacted the maintainer of the AUX Penelope website, and he happens to have a tarball with the disks (4 Mac format disks, plus 11 A/UX disks). He had to change file types as they were munged...

It's not just a matter of kernel; 2.0.1 replaced a large part of the system headers to make them more conformant with ANSI C compilers (one of the reasons it's difficult to port stuff to A/UX before 2.0.1)

Did a bit of search...apparently the patches to gcc are supposed to work only with A/UX 2.0.1 which changed quite a few things: http://support.apple.com/kb/TA45086?viewlocale=en_US most notably: so short of finding the patches written by Apple programmers to the earlier versions of gcc-1.39...

Even compilation of binutils-2.7 failed, despite it having a target of A/UX. They probably expect A/UX 3 at least, although the target information reports A/UX2.0 (probably just used uname to get the system id string.) Will have to check on my Q650 or find an earlier binutils.

You mean 2.0.1? Been looking for ages, nowhere to be found :(

Do you have any way of changing the RAM SIMMs? I had a similar problem with my SE/30; the kernel would freeze more or less at the same point. I had to replace the ram SIMMs and everything worked fine. All versions of UNIX I have ever worked with somewhat "stress-test" the memory.

I had 3.1(.1) on the SE/30 but it wasn't very responsive (I have it on my Quadra 650 though); 2.0 has a much smaller memory footprint and is definitely faster. Also, with a 250Mb hard disk I get much more space to "play." Also, I got the full documentation set for 2.0 (I downloaded the pdfs...

Ok I think I spotted the problem. The system expects to run "as" locally, but it's a symbolic link to "gas." So I need to compile the binutils first. Drat. :-/

I have A/UX 3.1.1 running on my Quadra 650 with 20Mb ram and 36Gb hard disk, and it works like a charm.

Hi all, has anyone tried it? I have a Mac SE/30 16Mb RAM running A/UX 2.0. I downloaded the (patched) gcc-2.5.7 from a jagubox mirror, which according to the README should compile on A/UX 2.0(.1). The architecture is recognised, the configure process seems to work, but then compilation fails at...

Thanks for the links! Does Technical Introduction offer more information than the Guide to the Macintosh Family hardware? I have the latter, and it has lots of interesting information about the Mac SE/30. It's a pity that the info is scattered all over the book; I was thinking of copy-pasting...

Sure; what I meant is that I won't provide any checks for which hardware the software is running. It will assume it's an SE/30. :approve:
