    ExperLogo!

    Oh, this is great. I had that exact same AI book back when it was new, no idea what happened to it. Anyway, thanks for the ping here, as I mentioned in my DM to @elbaroni I got distracted and never did upload that binary. I will try to do it ASAP and let you know.

    Retro68 IDEs: Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, CodeLite, ...

    Answering my own question and for benefit of OP above: Marking the universal header include files as 'SYSTEM' in CMakeLists.txt prevents those warnings from leaking and solves this problem. include_directories( # SYSTEM here tells gcc to suppress any warnings in these files # (there...

    Retro68 build issues.

    ... answered my own question in that thread, sorry.

    Retro68 build issues.

    Sorry to sidetrack but as I just asked this question elsewhere .... am I correct that you did NOT get 1000+ warnings from compiling the Universal headers with retro68? keeps happening to me -- details here, would love any guidance...

    Retro68 IDEs: Visual Studio Code, Eclipse, CodeLite, ...

    Here's another necropost but the above was so helpful and this old thread is my first google hit when trying to research this (....always weird when the first google thread is a 68kmla thread with myself already in it....): Has anyone succeeded in compiling with retro68 but suppressing these...

    Got a Macintosh! Now What?

    I don’t care what that book tried to teach me in 1991, I am still putting two spaces after a sentence. See? And again! Ohhhh that’s funny …. The forum software automatically removes the second space when you save your post … ouch

    Help setting up Basilisk II for System 6 (Macintosh Plus)

    Helpful link, but Basilisk can run 7, as noted above.

    9" Compact Completists?

    Oh look, I even commented in that thread! (but since forgot about it) For the record, the conclusion of that thread was that the model in question was indeed a Macintosh ED (just missing the front wordmark for some reason). So we still have no record of the existence of any Platinum 512Ke...

    9" Compact Completists?

    Ah yes I remember that old image. I decided years ago it was a (220V) Macintosh ED from which someone acetone’d the front wordmark… It would have totally made sense for Apple to sell 512KEs that look like this - just use the Plus front bucket and don’t bother to silkscreen the wordmark there …...

    9" Compact Completists?

    @ClassicGuyPhilly is it worth noting that the Macintosh ED variant of the 512ke came in (I think) only the Platinum color? Also, Wikipedia has for years persisted in saying that there was a Platinum variant of the (non-ED) 512ke (i.e., with no front wordmark, and with a Mac Plus-style unframed...

    Y2K2020 Date Problem System 7

    As written step 6 would work starting from any year, right? For example 1901.

    Y2K2020 Date Problem System 7

    I’ve given this a lot of thought also and implemented a chunk of this a few years ago, then lost interest because … we’ve got time. But yeah we can make almost every application work by patching all of the various OS Utilities and International Utilities routines that mess with date/times...

    Faster MacOS by patching NewPtrClear?

    Very cool (for historical purposes), where did you find it? That circular rainbow gradient is so “look it’s 1987 and I have a Mac II”.

    9" Compact Completists?

    128k’s get a bad rap! They are perfectly great for playing Infocom games, Mouse Stampede, Airborne (with a shorter musical overture sadly) and cooking up some nifty programs in MS-BASIC. And the original MacPaint remains a beautiful piece of software. That said I haven’t turned mine on in 18...
