    Early Mac LC proto?

    I've got one of these. It has the Apple Confidential stickers on the roms, and the big cap. The caps were leaking so had them replaced and the big cap is now a different big cap.

    Daystar 68040 woes

    You could try unseating the cpu and reseating it (the socket on the daystar card kinda sucks)

    Daystar 68040 woes

    when you put it back in the IIci did you get a sad mac code?

    LC 575 sad mac

    just confirming, that, yes, it was a bad cpu. I put a coldpack on the cpu for 10 minutes and it booted right up, swapping the cpu with another mac completely fixed the problem.

    LC 575 sad mac

    I spent some more time on this and I'm starting to suspect a bad CPU. I put a cold pack on the logic board and set it on the cpu for about 10 minutes. Then I put the board in the machine and tried it again. This time it booted, but within a minute or so of reaching the desktop It bombed with an...

    LC 575 sad mac

    I'm trying to fix my LC 575 sad mac. It was working up until a point last year, when it started to sad mac at random. At which point I realized that the caps had leaked. I proceeded to wash the logic board and recap with tantalum capacitors. Unfortunately the sad mac faces continued. I've...

    Building First Mozilla for PPC (and maybe eventually 68k)

    Pushed an update to github, I've also updated my write up. http://andrew.colchagoff.com/netscape/part2.html would anyone have an interest in a live stream if I set one up of my next coding session? I'm thinking of pickup a device to capture the screen on my g3 and stream i with a mic of my...

    Building First Mozilla for PPC (and maybe eventually 68k)

    i've added .sit files to the repository for everything just in case but the source files shouldn't have resource forks. My understanding of binhex is that its purpose is to avoid data corruption when a file is moved by an ascii only server which github is not. Do you think binhexing is necessary?

    Building First Mozilla for PPC (and maybe eventually 68k)

    Okay I've got my first dev build and the source on github. (After all that I used a zipdisk to move the files to my modern mac and commit)  https://github.com/denodster/mozz I've compressed anything that I know to have a resource fork in a sit file but I may have missed a few things... it...

    The $10 Beige G3 Minitower to close out the year.

    great find, I've got one of these with a 500mhz g4 upgrade from powerlogix, I do all of my retro dev work on it. having both IDE and SCSI is nice because I can put a large hard drive in it without needing to search too hard, and I can still hook up all of my scsi stuff as well.

    Also, what is your preferred way to getting code from your mac to github?

    Building First Mozilla for PPC (and maybe eventually 68k)

    This project uses of Open Transport 1.1. I'm currently successfully building the PPC version on OS 8.1 and I'm slowly working my way through the libraries trying to compile 68k versions. Codewarrior Pro 2 has 68k equivalents of nearly everything necessary. but the answer may be to steal the TLS...

    Does anyone have Codewarrior 2 Pro?

    I found it around the same time actually, and it did everything I hoped it would do. I needed to solve one more problem, but I successfully built the project. I turns out I also needed to be running an HFS file system and Mac OS 8.

    Building First Mozilla for PPC (and maybe eventually 68k)

    Sooo quick update, but 6 months later and I've successfully built the source. It was a beast to get it to build as I discovered that it only builds in Codewarrior 2 Pro and on top of that only builds in Mac OS 8 on an HFS filesystem. I consider all of these things good signs as I believe this...

    Does anyone have Codewarrior 2 Pro?

    I think it might work better in my mozilla build efforts. but it's not on the Macintosh Garden, ebay, or anywhere else that I've looked.

    Building First Mozilla for PPC (and maybe eventually 68k)

    So I'm going to attempt to build the March 31st 1998 version of mozilla for PPC using sheephsaver on my Macbook pro. The plan is thus: Build for PPC Remove as as much code as possible (Composer, mail, other unnecessary portions of the mozilla suite that I don't care about) Swap libraries...

    Old Mac, Modern Internet

    Personally I'm fine with the whole crappy html only experience I get in Netscape 4, I just would like to be able to load sites that are now https only such as 68kmla I think our machines could handle https if there were a 68k browser out there that knew how to do it on the modern web.

    MLA Forum Access from Older Macs

    I think given the forum's use of https it would be very difficult. system 7 today used to run a forum that was written witht he explicit purpose of working on system 7 machines, but he shut that down as it was becoming too difficult for him to maintain http://forums.system7today.com/
