    Just found a small but good looking FTP server...

    Recommended mirroring: (instead of reading... :p .. eh.. anyway) ftp://ftp.apple.asimov.net/pub/ It has goodies like /pub/apple_II/emulators/rom_images/ (27 files, 24 likely ROMs) and /pub/apple_II/unsorted/Apple%20MAC%20emulation.zip (NOTE: 147MB) :b&w: ;D Found it while looking for...

    Emulating a Mac LC 475 from real data

    Disclaimer: Never tried this random guess myself, I have no idea if it will work. I don't know if BasiliskII is equivalent to an LC 475 in terms of emulation - it is if the 475 can't run Mac OS 8 or later, afaik: 1. Find a PC with SCSI support on the mobo (these instructions only apply if said...

    Newtons, nBlog, and blogging: opinions?

    Well, I can't really recommend much about the newton but I can recommend the next best thing - the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet (collectively known as the "N810", as I've seen). This PDA-like gadget has wifi, bluetooth, both on-screen (in certain situations) and flip-out keyboards, and... runs a...

    Compromised floppy disks, source of malfunction unknown

    All I can say is this: copy protection notwithstanding, find a copy of DART or Disk Copy and back them up NOW. If some of them have disintegrated, this is a warning that they've reached the end of their life and they eventually all will. -dav7

    Where is The Line that Is Verry Opisite Of Cold?

    If you need any help setting stuff up, count me in. If the server runs Mac OS it'll be a learning experience, but I do know how to use Linux. :p I also know HTML/CSS (although I don't like it), PHP and C, so I can help with writing stuff if that helps. Also, I PMed you a few URLs you might...

    Har! I has new headphones!

    I haz KOSS UR20s here. :p The old pair got so used (I listen to music 25 hours a day, 8 days a week ( ;D )) and abused (they either go *crash* or *clunk* when I need to leave the computer, or *plonk* when I need to quickly leave the computer) that they more or less died (can has red duct tape...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    I think what I want to make is more of a simulator: something that achieves two goals, to run at a set (slow) speed so that graphics redraw slowly (one target), and that displays at 1bpp (the other target). I'm not too sure how to achieve something like this, but I think it'd probably be fun...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    Wow O.o This sounds interesting and all but I don't find "systems programming" very interesting - I'm more of a GUI designer. Occasionally I get sparks of interest in doing something non-graphical - like this - but... eep. This would probably work out to be way too boring (with sporadic...

    Macintosh Garden offline?

    This is a bit of a closed thread, but I just wanted to mention that the archive does actually archive non-HTML pages. Not sure if it's accidental or whatever, but this philosophy will probably cover all bases: If it looked like something just downloaded from the web archive and it worked, back...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    Ah. I see what you mean. Well, since this is merely because I want to write one, I'd probably want the frequency to represent how often I want the "execute" loop to run, so, at 1MHz, the execute loop would run 1 million times per second. That doesn't mean the whole program will be run 1...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    returningmacuser, Dennis Nedry: MicroMac and µMac sound nice... but I don't actually want to emulate a Mac. porter: What I want to "emulate" isn't a real PC, so I don't really know if it could be called emulating. It is indeed a fictitious computer. And my speed reference refers to how fast I...

    Possibly writing an emulator... of sorts

    [ To achieve a more widespread response, this post has been duplicated at archlinux.org (my distribution's forum). ] As a sort of toy to play with in recognition of old technology, I want to try my hand at writing a kind of emulator similar to an old Macintosh, except using simpler principles...

    A URL I just found that might be of interest

    So one thing leads to another and I notice a photo of a weird long-wise display that I'd only ever seen the likes of with photos of the Xerox Star. I head off to Google Images wondering where to start and in in a spark of inspiration I google "mac portrait display", thinking "they named the...

    It's Dead...

    About the proprietary screws, I've found that carefully rotating the screws with a pair of pliers will sometimes get them to turn. It's just the tightening thing that pliers don't do well. :/ (This also works for screws with stripped heads, too.) -dav7

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

    Hm, if I wanted to do some development too, where could I find ThinkC? Or is MPW sufficient (ie, does it include a compiler)? -dav7

    System 1.0 (NOT 1.1) [solved, it's 0.97]

    ...wow. 'Tis incredible. As an aside, it's ironic: Windows 1.00 had some kind of major issue so had to be revoked almost as soon as it was released, and what is effectively System 1.0 had an issue where it would keep a new "Empty Folder" on the disk whenever you renamed it, so had to be revoked...
