    Question on widgets for classic mac os

    Does Symantec projects not have a concept of multiple targets? Might be time to upgrade to Metrowerks. You can set that up to build everything with a single key press using multiple targets and dependencies. You can look at the Metrowerks code resource examples and see how they might translate...

    Choosing a CPU upgrade for my Beige G3 266

    List of GPU upgrades for the Beige G3: https://everymac.com/upgrade_cards/by_system/powermac_g3.html The two most interesting seem to be these: PowerForce G3 ZIF 1.1 Encore G4 1.0/1M

    Question on widgets for classic mac os

    You said this which implies there may be a lot of tests (like a couple rectangles per key), but I reread your post, and see that earlier you said that what rectangle to invert is figured out mathematically, which probably means you do the divide method already to minimize the number of tests so...

    Question on widgets for classic mac os

    1) CODE resources are completely different than other types of code resources such as DRVR, CDEF, WDEF, etc. CODE resources are segments of an application. You split an application into segments to improve memory utilization. i.e. A code segment is not loaded unless code in that segment is to...

    Any apps that probe Nubus space?

    Looks like Mini vMac and Snow both emulate a graphics controller in slot 9 for a Mac II in Infinite Mac. The problem with my SlotsGrab and SlotsDump on 24-bit Macs is that the Slot Manager returns addresses in the 16 MiB ranges (e.g. 0xF9000000). Translating that address to the 1 MiB range...

    Any apps that probe Nubus space?

    I'll need to do some debugging in Mini vMac or MAME or Snow (whatever can expose the problem).

    TashTalk: Single-Chip LocalTalk Interface

    The DingusPPC emulator uses a Unix Domain Socket. I suppose you could pipe that to a TCP port or a TTY device or a serial port using socat. But for output to a real serial port device, you would want the emulator to use that serial port character device directly which can support serial port...

    Any apps that probe Nubus space?

    I've added your commit to my fork. I don't know if it works. Try the release: https://github.com/joevt/SlotsDump/releases/tag/v1.7 The .mcp files are CodeWarrior Pro 4 project files (CodeWarrior IDE 3.3).

    DumbDD

    It should save properly, as it would be interpreted as an entire disk. If the iso is from a CD, then the resulting .img might be suitable only as a CD. I would examine the partition map of the disk image using dumpvols.sh on macOS to see if it makes sense for a CD or HD. CDs might have block...

    Any apps that probe Nubus space?

    I'm not sure about Macintosh II. SlotsDump worked with a Macintosh LC at least. And a IIfx. When I tried them in 2004. I don't remember if they were 24 bit or 32 bit addressing. The LC had slot 0 at 00A7FFFF (ROM) and slot E at FEFFFFFE (PDS Ethernet). The IIfx had slot 0 at 4087FFFF (ROM) and...

    DingusPPC has SCSI hardware emulation. It can boot Mac OS 7.1.2 to Mac OS 9.2.2 from a virtual SCSI hard disk. Whether it's proper or not depends on if it works with whatever you're trying to do. If you're writing to a SCSI hard disk, note that the disk image should be blank or have an Apple...

    Connecting an Apple Monitor to VGA

    I wonder if any modern GPUs support Apple Sense codes? https://tinkerdifferent.com/threads/documentation-for-db15-to-vga-adapters.318/post-21288 If not, then you'll need to setup a custom timing that matches whatever is required by the display. Here's some timings at...

    Mac Classic issue with MacTerminal

    But there are two serial ports. AppleTalk usually uses the printer port. So the modem port should be free. What port is selected for AppleTalk? Of course, if you don't have an AppleTalk network, then AppleTalk should be turned off.

    PowerMac G5 with a surprise inside

    I suppose if you can't move it to a PC and use NVFlash from Windows or DOS to dump the ROM, and if there's no Mac utility to do the job (Graphiccelerator? NVUserXFlash? NVIDIAFirmwareUpdate? ATI Multi Flasher NVidia? ATI Multi Flasher NVidia.app?) then there's a couple options: - Get a dump...
