    Can you use AppleScript 1.1 to make a HTTP request? And is it possible to use HTTPS in a 68k application?

    I'm going to say that HTTPS isn't going to be possible (though could technically happen) due to the length of time even an '040/40 would take to deal with the encryption. Either you'll grow old and Ryzen 5950s will be "retro" - or more than likely, the connection will timeout.

    THAT SAID... a proxy box to stream the parsed page to the mac, à la frogfind, may work.

    Idea: Use a Raspberry Pi Pico W in your BlueSCSI V2. Then modify the Pi's firmware to emulate a serial modem with a usb to serial adapter.

    Also, I'm not quite sure what you're saying, but... The Pi can already be used as an emulated PPP device... You just need a $2 Serial to UART adapter. People already do that. Is that all you mean? You can also use ESP based devices to do the same.

    You could use UART, but i'm sure doing it over USB is a better option in a BlueSCSI.

    Anybody have tips on how to make your site work with ancient browsers? Like the great 68k Netscape 2.02 and iCab 2.99. Specifically I'd like to know how to disable SSL for old browsers that don't support it, like what Macintosh Repository does (did?).

    Use PageMill 2.0 or some such for compatibility.

    I personally just don't have SSL/TLS enforced on my site, eg. if you go to HTTP, that's what you'll get. MR does something like UserAgent recognition to automatically forward to non-HTTPS, but that's not necessary for it to work.

    yeah I personally wouldn't bother with per-UA redirection unless I had a good reason to.

    Do they still make Motorola 68040 processors? The 68000 seems very cheap. I’m trying to figure out how you’d go about making your own PDS upgrade cards.

    @luRaichu - might be something like because getting a product certified when someone's life depends on it is expensive. The cost of the approvals process is often many times over the cost of parts.

    Yeah, they're hundreds of dollars :

    Screw this crap guys, let’s found our own company, reverse engineer an old Motorola chi- nvm that’s been done already, buy silicon wafer machines, make 680x0s and sell them to the retro mac community, along with ready-made PDS cards. We will make a killing 😆
