the 400 and 800k floppy drives used varying speeds that cant be replicated on the usb floppy but I have ( only last night ) downloaded an 800k image of system 6.08, wrote it with transmac and my se booted from it - it comes up on the mac as an 800k disk Again its something like stuffit - a...

no idea porta something that really gets me is when you transfer something in a .sit to the mac - run stuffit on it and it wont work - then you try different versions of stuffit ....... i have spent hours trying to get my head around it - as far as i can see you need stuffit 1.51 all the way up...

I use a USB floppy drive on my PC and a small program called transmac. https://www.acutesystems.com/scrtm.htm Transmac can format floppys ( 1.4 mb ) it can create images of mac floppies on your PC it can also write 800k images to floppys i use it to quickly get software from the internet onto...

SubBattle was 3D ish ( sprites being scaled up and down ) but the graphics were very very basic. That Macintalk voice , the digitized sounds - truly loved this game , even thought it could crash at any time - Does f/a18 run on a 68k Mac - I should of said that above , was looking for title...

Would like to hear of any 3D simulators people like to play on their Macs. I was playing SubBattle Simulator on an SE back in the early 90's way before the PC was a thing. This got me into all kinds of simulators. So just wondering what simulators people used to like and hoping there might be...

I use beed tants because they are so much easier to solder on - I never liked those flat , rectangular tantalums because you cannot see the connection underneath. If it was me i would take off all the tants again and clean up all the pads with some soldering brade - get rid of all the old...
