    HyperCard Community?

    Hi all. Looking for a place (or former place that is searchable) with discussions on HyperCard stacks and development. I'm particularly looking for a way to read a GIF that is bytes in a text file to display, but need to do a lot of lurk-learning as well. I did find...

    Screen Saver in Attract Mode?

    Hey all. I would like to give a couple of eMates "something to do" instead of taking up space in a storage bin. Can anyone recommend a pkg of a floating clock/calendar screen saver, so the devices could show time and date in the rooom? The closest thing I could find was an UNNA search to...

    Scheduled Reboot Restart Cron for System 6 and 7?

    That is great, thanks, I can try that on my PB180 since that has '7. Strange that this is so hard for System 6.

    System 6.0.7 LocalTalk Network Access Disk

    Thanks for sharing. I made a floppy from that, added the After Dark 2.0.3 Control Panel, inserted into 4mb Mac Plus (no networking attached yet), and got the boot progression you see with a Sad Mac 0F0003. What did I mess up? I haven't added any hardware yet for networking. Thanks.

    AppleShare via AirTalk between Mac Plus and MacBook Air

    I have 212k free in an 800k floppy on 4mb Mac Plus, would like to use AirTalk with it also. Can you share what is on your disk to get it to connect with AppleShare? I first tried to make a network ready System 608 floppy but it failed.

    Emulation: Mini vMac File Write to dsk from Host?

    I wasn't able to get Basilisk to work over the network, which is how i landed on Mini vMac with LToUDP. Same for Netatalk. Physical Macs have AirTalk boxes attached, working fine. The back-end doesn't matter to me as long as I can get the physical machines to pick up text files over the network...

    Emulation: Mini vMac File Write to dsk from Host?

    Thanks for the reply. Mini vMac is a network server for physical Macs that read from a share and I am trying to now get a file on vMac on a regular basis from the host OS (Win 10). The physical Macs would then do a HyperCars thing based on the refreshed data. Basilisk can get host files in this...

    Emulation: Mini vMac File Write to dsk from Host?

    Hi all. Has anyone had success writing text files to a running instance of Mini vMac disk image from the host OS (Windows, etc)? Kind of like https://www.gryphel.com/c/minivmac/extras/importfl/index.html but not "pulling" from the guest OS, but instead pushing in a way that the guest OS...

    Looking for scheduled reboot utility

    necro-bump. Did you ever get a solution for this? Thanks.

    Scheduled Reboot Restart Cron for System 6 and 7?

    Interesting. My plan is to have a full-screen HyperCard stack running in the foreground displaying some info it gets from a network share (using the magic of AirTalk). If I could get the display and restart to all be HyperCard based, that'd be fine with me.

    Scheduled Reboot Restart Cron for System 6 and 7?

    Hi all. Looking for something that can make Mac Plus (and also PB 180 bw) restart every few hours. System 6.0.8 and 7 using a scheduler agenda timetable. I put in all of the title terms in a search here, didn't find anything, so asking here directly. 🙂 Thanks.

    Emulation: Binaries for Mini vMac 37 with LToUDP

    Thank you! I was able to successfully use this version and an AirTalk box connected to my Mac Plus 4mb (and printer not modem cable) to access a share in Mini vMac. The version of Mini vMac (running on Windows 10) I paid-for didn't have the functionality.

    Farallon MacRecorder and Audio Passthrough ?

    Shows it in action recording, which I am sure is the primary purpose, but not necessarily if the bits in the stack can be used for pass through. Since screen burn in is a thing on the Mac Plus, I am now imagining a fully blank sscreen with a single window (no desktop or menu bar kind of like...

    Farallon MacRecorder and Audio Passthrough ?

    I saw a YouTube that mentioned a HyperCard stack that came with it for audio, wa that included in your package?

    Farallon MacRecorder and Audio Passthrough ?

    My hope is to take audio input and pipe it through the Mac speaker, but in addition to the non-sexy passthrough of mono audio I want to add the sexy visualization of that audio. If the input is just a simple mic then any noise in the room could be passively shown on the screen like VU meters. It...

    Farallon MacRecorder and Audio Passthrough ?

    I would use the Printer port on the Mac Plus. MacRecorder has 3.5mm input and serial output.

    Farallon MacRecorder and Audio Passthrough ?

    Hi all. Can anyone share info about taking the audio input from a Farallon MacRecorder and making a visualization "stream" without saving data? Just looking for another job for a Macintosh Plus, just a visualizer on an open mic, as audio plays letting bars jump. Thanks for all ideas!

    The MacIPpi Rpi. The MacIPpi concept for Raspberry Pi.

    Yes, I was thinking of a very low-byte experiment, both in terms of network and CPU. I do have AirTalk hardware but ran into some personal-side issues and haven't been able to do much lately. Right now I have the Mac Plus, and PB 3400, but will still need an RPi because the PB is running 7.6.1...

    MIDI Software List for Compact Macs?

    I was thinking of games that use MIDI for background music so the main CPU isn't taxed. Or playing MIDI "jukebox style".
