    System 7.5 sound in options for Roland MT32

    Nifty - though I think by that period in Sierra's history, they'd stopped rolling up custom patches for MT32 and just used a generic conversion-to-GM patch set.

    System 7.5 sound in options for Roland MT32

    The ports on the CD-ROM drive are direct outs for CD audio. For that, you'll need RCA-to-1/4" TRS adapters/cables to connect to the mixer; for the Mac, you'll need a 3.5mm stereo-to-mono splitter and 3.5mm-to-1/4" TRS adapters/cables. The MT-32 has 1/4" TRS outputs, so you'll just need matching...

    System 7.5 sound in options for Roland MT32

    Rather than another pair of speakers, just get an inexpensive 4-channel mixer.

    68K (no Mac) Designs OK?

    There's also VBCC, which is modern-ish (full C89 with a subset of C99 features supported,) specifically targets 68k/Coldfire, and supposed to produce overall better code than GCC according to what I've heard.

    My first Apple IIc

    Oh, so that's why the keyboard on my IIc feels so surprisingly crappy. I'll have to get around to addressing that.

    Multiprocessor SE/30!

    That's an interesting question, since the history of multiprocessing is so eclectic. The CDC 6600 rolled out in 1964 (half a decade before Unix was even a gleam in Ken Thompson's eye) and sported one or two primary CPUs and ten "peripheral processing units" (smaller, simpler CPUs whose primary...

    MCL Redistribution Kit

    You might ask classichasclass (he can be found over on VCF or contacted at his personal site.) I think he's primarily interested in actual LISP machine hardware, but he might know a thing or two about this.

    Mac SE/30 wants to constantly initialize ghost floppy

    My first guess would be that the disk-present sensor on the drive is stuck.

    MacFox's Finds

    If you get the chance, could you image those CDs and post them to archive.org and/or Macintosh Garden? Old shareware CDs are always interesting, and Mac ones are harder to come by.

    The Miracle Piano Teaching system

    General convention is that C in the middle of the keybed equates to middle C on a standard 88-key piano, though of course most smaller keyboards provide some way to transpose up or down a couple octaves.

    Green Tones while in Greyscale... Quadra 700

    It sounds like what happens when a monitor that isn't expecting a sync-on-green video signal gets one. Not all of them handle this correctly by separating out the sync signal from the actual green signal, so you get exactly this effect - I had the same thing with my SGI O2 on one monitor and had...

    System 7.5 sound in options for Roland MT32

    Nothing much, just get a cable that connects the outputs of the MT-32 to whatever the amplifier or powered speaker uses as an input. You can get the relevant cables/converters off eBay or at any local music shop.

    System 7.5 sound in options for Roland MT32

    I'd strongly recommend just hooking the MT-32 up to a dedicated amplifier and speakers; it'll sound better and be less hassle.

    AllMacs re-cap service on eBay - experiences?

    Eh? His forum shenanigans aside, my experience with his recapping service was perfectly satisfactory and I'd ring him up again in a heartbeat if I had need of it.

    Windows NT on Power Macs

    NT4 actually did run on Alpha. In fact, there's a working release candidate of 2000 that's totally usable for it, but support was dropped before the final release, presumably as part of the "everything but Itanium can just go hang" push around that time.

    Windows NT on Power Macs

    IIRC, NT/PPC actually has an emulator for x86, but it only works with Win16 software...

    Windows NT on Power Macs

    Interesting notion, but wasn't NT/PPC dropped before the G3, and isn't OpenFirmware only available on New World (G3 and later) Macs?

    Difference between 1.0 and 1.1

    Yes, one is 0.1 more than the other.

    Excellent. Gorgonops is good people, and I'm not only saying that to cravenly ingratiate myself ;)

    Gamer choosing betwen 10.4.11 & 10.5.8

    The option key's not a terribly optimal solution, though - I admit I haven't tried it on a G5, but on G3/G4 Macs it takes forever to scan for all possible bootable volumes before actually letting you choose one. It's more useful in a pinch if one of your bootable drives gets messed up to the...
