    DeadlyGames M4 Freezing

    Published application. I thought it might have been HyperCard, but it is not a stack, it is self-contained.

    DeadlyGames M4 Freezing

    This is a very specific question, but it is pertaining to the DeadlyGames M4 HyperCard-based game. On both my PB1400 and PT Pro, the game freezes when the radio communications are turned on (those familiar with the game will know what that is). I have tried System 7.6.1, 8.6, and 9.1. The game...

    If you could bring back classic Mac OS software, what would it be?

    Fascinating, but even getting it is the antithesis of everything Classic Mac OS related: there's no compiled application.

    Macintosh SE sudden death: burned chip on logic board + suspected analog board capacitor leakage

    Getting a PowerBook 1400 Networked

    There's the DaynPort PC card option as well: I have one of those. In fact, if you could find the appropriate dongle, I also have a Global Village PowerPort Platinum Pro that has two ports on it (one for ethernet, one for a modem). It didn't come with the dongles, but if you could find one...

    SE anode cap: Inconsistent connection with inside of CRT?

    Yes, I don’t know how MUCH you are experiencing, but with CRTs correctly set so cutoff is right before any lines appear in the tube at maximum brightness, there’s always a somewhat “larger” image than when brightness is at the lowest before the image totally disappears.

    SE anode cap: Inconsistent connection with inside of CRT?

    Yes. The above also is normal: the screen has ALWAYS bulged a bit when the brightness is turned all the way up.

    If you could bring back classic Mac OS software, what would it be?

    Actually….i wish they had a version of Kaboom! for today’s machines.

    If you could bring back classic Mac OS software, what would it be?

    I only do via Boot Camp. Never been a PC in my home.

    If you could bring back classic Mac OS software, what would it be?

    Not quite the same. Today’s macOS is a kludge of useless bloat. I prefer the cleaner OS 9 and below interface.

    If you could bring back classic Mac OS software, what would it be?

    Mac OS itself, except made stable underneath like early OS X.
