    Couple little tidbits

    Today I dropped by the local college with a friend and checked out the free computer stuff (for the *I've lost count* time) and got: -Farallon AAUI to BASE10 ethernet adapter (my second one) -Modem Port to female DB-9 serial. I'm really intrigued by this one, is this essentially a null modem...

    A reasonable way to use a 68k as a jukebox?

    I just stumbled upon http://mpd.wikia.com/wiki/Client:M68kmpc while gathering information on the Music Player Daemon. While the link it gives is dead, there's probably a mirror somewhere on the internet. If you ran the mpd server on another machine and then networked the 68k to it, you'd have a...

    A couple keyboards and something even better

    Anyway, yesterday I call my Grandpa (who had noticed that one of his friends had a couple old Apple ][gs, and I ended up getting one a while back), and tell him that I've gotten around to hooking the ][gs up and that it worked, even though the monitor doesn't (I hooked it up to the TV, the image...

    Has anyone ever pulled this one off successfully?

    Running QEMU's user-mode emulation to run WINE on Mac OS X powerPC? If so, tell me if it was worth it, I want to know if I should devote the time to getting it working. :O

    Photoshop

    Got the educational version of Photoshop 3.0 today. It has the CD and floppy versions of Photoshop as well as that call-to-unlock fonts collection. Came with manual, too. (Also, I got a Playstation 2 today, so it's an awesome day :D )

    The E Programming Language

    Saw this a long time ago, but today realized that this should work on 68k Macs, too. It compiles into 68000 assembly language, so as long as there's a compiler made for Mac 68k, it could be a viable choice for programming. The compiler's source is freeware. http://strlen.com/e/index.html Any...

    Apple II internet

    As some may know by now, I have a Apple IIgs that I'm getting set up. I already have my 3400c connected to the internet, is there any way I can route the internet to the IIgs via a LocalTalk cable? I just want to do it for the lulz, you know, to update my facebook status or something for shock...

    Second Conquest in a 2 day period!

    This time: An Apple ][gs Woz Edition. To my knowledge, it's fully functional. It came with a system disk (old one, probably should make new ones). The lady was happy to give it away, or so it seems, as she had an identical one. Came with 3.5 HD Floppy drive and a 5.25 Floppy drive along with...

    Mibbit

    Freenode no longer accepts connections from mibbit.com, so you may want to change the link at the top of the page to something different, such as instructions on how to connect.

    Why it pays to have "connections"

    Okay, well, it's conquest time once again, guys. This time at the same college that I've scored: -2x Blue and White G3s (November 2008) -3 various PCs, Athlon processors, only one remains and works (October-November 2008) -Quadra 660av, maxed RAM, later scored a 6gb hard drive for it...

    Crippled Keyboard

    Actually, this conquest is a few days old, but seeing as there was a bandwidth overflow... I got a filthy Apple Extended Keyboard II, though written on it was " 'A' Key is broken". Regardless, I snagged it, it was free, so I saw no reason not to take it. I cleaned it up, plugged it in, and...

    RAM, RAM, and RAM

    3 sticks of 1GB SO-DIMMs 3 sticks of DDR, 512MB and 256MB Price: Free The 512MB stick is going into my Grandma's computer to bump it to a total of 1.25GB. The 256 sticks will go into the Athlon machine I have as soon as get a good PSU for it. The SO-DIMMs will go into my closet as I don't...

    Free and new but probably useless

    A dumb terminal, maybe you guys can tell me what I should do w/ it. It's in mint condition along with the keyboard. Has Serial modem ports and Parallel ports. ::)

    Tommorrow...

    Hey, it's been a long while since I've had a real conquest. This is gonna be my first conquest of 2009 and my first Freecycle conquest. I had put a post up on freecycle saying I was after a vintage Mac. Lo and behold I get a reply from somebody in a town about 5 - 10 miles away, saying that she...

    Har! I has new headphones!

    I've been needing these for a while! :D They're iFrogz brand EarPollution headphones, and sound quite good! I'll need to turn down the bass, it's quite reverberative!

    Ah, crap PT. 2!

    :O Zip disk just killed one of it's low-level catalog files and Disk First Aid (System 6 version AND Mac OS 9) are being unhelpful. Time to find a different disk utility and repair this guy. EDIT: Maybe some help?

    Browser6 - The System 6 Web Browser

    Hey there 68k-ers! I am doing the hosting of Browser6 for porter, so when I get it through email I will host it on my webserver (I bet this will make my hits skyrocket). But anyway, I will keep you guys updated. tm512 -------------- http://browser6.site88.net/ THERE HAS BEEN A RELEASE!

    Learning Program Development (System 6, of course :P)

    What do I need to start? I want to dabble in a little bit of C, might be good for me... :p Preferably links, please, I hate having to hunt down individual bits of software. :) regards, tm512 EDIT: One thing that might be a good experiment would be a classic program that, when run in OS...
