No problem! If you mount the image inside system 7 it might be easier to read, especially if you have something set up for better font display and such.

Think I found it on archive.org. I took the file off the cd and converted it into pict then jpgs then a readable PDF, it is attached as well as a zip with the jpgs.

I would love to have one. Right now it's my imac and the beige minitower but adding the monster to form a trio would be awesome. Plus you could put some googly eyes on there.

Appreciate it. Yeah, I get it, all projects eventually hit their wall but I have done my best to document my process and share it with anyone interesting in coding for os 9. I don't plan on stopping anytime soon and with the progress I am making in terms of JavaScript and TLS even if I left it...

Very welcome, it's all for the love of the game and being useful to others is just icing on the cake.

Thank you! It's a bit of a grind but I honestly think these classic g3s and os 9 in general is much more capable than they're given credit for. Thanks to some impressive reverse engineering done on os 9 by Elliot Nunn I am excited to see what the actual ceiling will be.

I've been working on improving the compatibility with forums (like 68kmla of course) and have spent the last week trying to get some for of posting ability to work. This is that first test! I've gotten to the point where the limitations are inside netsurf upstream, so at this point I am making...

Oh yeah you have a pretty old version before I updated the interface. Grab 1.4 https://github.com/mplsllc/macsurf/releases/download/v1.4/MacSurf.sit

You have the last release? I see macintoshgarden and I did a little bit of targeting fixes on these so it should load properly for the most part.

Bong. Yeah, all that. I do wish it was as easy as vibecoding a simple website and I'm not saying I'm doing something impressive it just took a little more work than that.

Unfortunately after you start the app and enter the URL you want to visit it just says "That's a great idea!" And "amazing insight, that's a fun website!" And never loads :(

Fair, I oversimplified that one. The thing is you don't really vectorize the JS engine or the cascade themselves, those are too branchy, but they lean on a ton of little string and memory routines underneath and those vectorize fine. Copying memory around, scanning a buffer for a character...

In regards to FPU that is already in use. CW8 emits FPU code throughout, and I actually lean on it on purpose. The 64 bit fixed point math in the CSS engine runs through the FPU because CW8 miscompiles the pure integer version on PPC. So that box is checked. AltiVec is the interesting one...

Thanks for loading it up and testing it! I just loaded macrumors on my g3 imac and it definitely does not like it. I'll have to do some targeting testing and fix rounds for it because it does not load much at all for me either. Right now it's kind of wack-a-mole with CSS and javascript getting...

Ha, an MSDOS MIDI jukebox for an 8088 is the most retro-computing sentence I've read all week. On 9.1 vs 9.2, don't worry, it runs fine on 9.1. The only real difference is that text looks a little rougher, because 9.1's font smoothing is weaker than 9.2's. That's an OS thing, not the browser...
