    Sigh. I once had a PowerBook 100. Bought it for ≈£320 in spring/summer 1996. Loved it. I had an external FD for it. The 40MB HD did start to die after a few years, but I was able to repartition it as a 29MB drive.

    Macintosh Personal Color, a Fantasy 1986, 68000 Mac with a 4bpp Color Mode (Emulator)

    I didn't feel you were. Sure!

    Macintosh Personal Color, a Fantasy 1986, 68000 Mac with a 4bpp Color Mode (Emulator)

    64kROM is good enough. I know that MACE lists which managers it's implemented. Is there a corresponding list for AMS? If it did exist, is it on a Google docs spreadsheet and if so, could it be of the form: ManagerRoutineA-line Usability% Complete% Tested QuickDrawSetRectA8A7A100100...

    AMS is a really intriguing project. Does it provide all the original Mac or Mac Plus ROM calls yet? (I'm aware it provides a lot of stuff for colour Macs, I think. Aaah, that's a related project.)

    ZX81! Issue 1! 1980!

    Good point. The ZX81 also didn't generate correct HSyncs and so pretty much every TV in the past 30 years won't work properly. It ought to generate, I think, 0V for about 4.5µs then 0.3V (black) for 4.5µs; which the TV uses for calibration. The ZX81 goes straight from 0V to 1.0V for the white...

    ZX81! Issue 1! 1980!

    Amongst my numerous ZX81s, I have a very early one, with the ROM chip fix. It's a very different one to the later ZX81s. It's worth checking it out. I thought I'd written a blog post about it, but I can't find it. The upshot is this though. As you know (as revealed by Dr Ian Logan), the original...

    Basilisk II - Odd FPU Behaviour

    Doesn't infinite Mac take the C/C++ emulators and compile to WebAssembly (@joevt , @mihai )? If so, the host is still 64-bit. But it could be a big-endian/little-endian thing (e.g. a G5 PowerMac running Basilisk II under Mac OS X would be OK).

    Ha! I saw this in the ALGOL-60 manual link you sent! All of Algol-68, Pascal, BCPL, B, C, C++, Java, JS, C# ( 🤮 ) etc descend from that language of course.

    Basilisk II - Odd FPU Behaviour

    Firstly, 12345 will be represented exactly in every FP format, it's 0.11000000111001₂ *2^14 (the highlighted part here: 0.1100000011100100 is what the "40E4" is in the hex representation, because the MSB is left off). And, interestingly, 12345/0.000021 is approximately 2^29, though not quite...

    How to transfer files from PowerBook 1400c to MacBook M3?

    I have a PB1400c & MBA M2. I've found the PB1400<->PCMCIA/CF<->CF\USB<->MBA M2. Having said that, it's not the only way. I've transferred data via Zip drives; and also via an IDE<->USB interface (unplug the PB1400's HD and plug into an external USB/IDE drive. Of course, you can't do that many...

    Dual booting OS9 and OSX on eMac but I'm a Winbaby

    @CC_333 : fine to be pedantic! My main point is that CW5 (or AW5) are pretty decent, but AW6, I thought wasn't that good. The important thing is that it's a good demo for a Classic Mac app that's not MS Office or MS Works. It's worth pointing out that those MS apps were widely used in the Mac...

    Dual booting OS9 and OSX on eMac but I'm a Winbaby

    Clarisworks 5 and World Book or Grolier World Encyclopaedia are probably the closest. MS Paint was actually modelled on the original MacPaint from 1984, but that won't run on Colour Macs. CW5, though is probably the most Mac-like integrated office package you could find. The next version...
