    ClarisWorks 2/Infinite Mac Oddity!

    Impressive! My CW2.0.1 just came in a CD jewel case. They were just literally handing them out at their stand. I remember what the event was actually called, it's called the Hannover Messe (2'n's in German). We were there demonstrating our solid-state storage solutions in spring 1994. It was...

    Apple ][ QuickTake 150 hack!

    Great to hear from the author! I have a QT150. I think either @cheesestraws or @Durosity do too, because they were recapping one recently. Interestingly, the inside of a QT150 is bigger than the outside. I wonder how easy it is to interface it to an Archimedes 3020? BBC Micro and Amstrad CPC...

    Apple ][ QuickTake 150 hack!

    This looks pretty cool! https://hackaday.com/2025/10/05/optimizing-a-quicktake-image-decoder-for-the-apple-iis-6502/ I'm a bit surprised he seemingly wanted to take QT image files and then convert those rather than take serial input from the QT150. And I thought that the serial data format for...

    And then you decided to use another 48MB of HD space for VM? Also, what's the 33> in the control strip for, CPU speed? My guess, not, because of the document 540/40/32mb/60ns implies 40MHz and 32 milli-bytes ;-) unless it's 40GB?

    ClarisWorks 2/Infinite Mac Oddity!

    Hi folks, Earlier this week I ploughed through all my old 100MB Zip disks (they still work) looking for a crude THINK C TCL, MIDI app I'd written that can edit sounds on a Yamaha DX100[1]. I didn't find the app, but I did find my legit copy of ClarisWorks 2.0; which Claris were giving away free...

    NanoMac, a candy bar sized FPGA Mac Plus / PlusToo

    I also developed an Arduino based sound editor for my Yamaha TQ-5. Those things were amazing: a multitimbral DX-11 + Digital effects synth module, but packaged in an archetypal 1990s design, so ugly eBay sellers would pay you to take it off their hands! But it's a true synth too. You can...

    Pseudo-Mac mini G3

    And this is why you're part of the 68KMLA! @croissantking , any offer is great. The iceBook was only ever flaky. It didn't totally fail, it was just that the video display frequently went really glitchy and sometimes that caused a crash. I tried a dumb method of applying more pressure on the...

    Pseudo-Mac mini G3

    Double-take! Yeah, a while back I thought that was very possible, and then I saw a post that said it was a waste of time and it was more likely to be the display cable. It's nice to be corrected, because I liked my iBook G3/600. I would need a training session on how to do this (temperature and...

    Pseudo-Mac mini G3

    Hi folks, Does anyone know off-hand what happens if you simply remove the built-in LCD from an iceBook G3/600 (or disconnect it) and then connect up to an external display? I've just been trying to google that, but I just get references on using the iBook in Clamshell mode. I'm wondering this...

    NanoMac, a candy bar sized FPGA Mac Plus / PlusToo

    @jgardner : I've searched through all my Zip 100MB disks, but couldn't find it. But it could be elsewhere, I tend to just keep everything I've used so it might be on a backup somewhere or another HD or maybe even my Zip 250MB disks.

    NanoMac, a candy bar sized FPGA Mac Plus / PlusToo

    I'm really amateurish I'm afraid. I have Grade 5 music Theory in the UK and I passed grade 6 Trumpet (a long time ago). I can hack my way through modern worship songs on a piano/keyboard, so you're way ahead of anything I've done. I've had a little look for the Lime manuscript editor on the...

    NanoMac, a candy bar sized FPGA Mac Plus / PlusToo

    I don't get why M doesn't use an external 1MHz clock to drive the SCC. It was never hard to code for that and it's the way interfacing MIDI to an early Mac was intended to be done.

    NanoMac, a candy bar sized FPGA Mac Plus / PlusToo

    After I bought my LC II back in 1993, I bought Cubase Lite, which came with a MidiMan Mac interface (1 in, 3 out). I used it with our keyboards at the time: A Yamaha SY-22 keyboard Synth (8 parts, 16-note poly, dynamic voice allocation); a legendary MT-32 (8 parts + drums, 8-32 note poly, static...

    NanoMac, a candy bar sized FPGA Mac Plus / PlusToo

    From my understanding, an early Mac relies on an external 2MHz, 1MHz or 512kHz clock for the correct timing. That's why early versions of Cubase have a MIDI Interface dialog which allows you to select the timing. (Cubase Lite) An external clock drives the HSk pin which drives the clock for...

    Interesting, I'm going to be at the Everything Electric show in Farnborough in early October, where I hope to pick up a friend's B&W G3. I'll have space, because it can go under a desk. It'll be a cross-over Mac as it can run Mac OS 8.6 through Mac OS X 10.4.

    MODTracker audio replay on early 68k macs

    It's a bit stalled, most of my projects get stalled for a while and then resume. Yeah, the MOD player! Well, it's a good question, because although things like MOVE reg,reg aren't much faster on MØBius (Shift+Option+O); MOVE reg,disp8(An, Am|Dm) are very much faster. MOVEP is also much faster...

    NanoMac, a candy bar sized FPGA Mac Plus / PlusToo

    Thanks! The main reason I'm sure MØBius will work with MIDI is that it dedicates a whole core to continually running the CPU, so it's never timesliced. The second core is for background processing for peripherals and hardware. My intention for Serial data is to map SCC configurations directly to...

    MODTracker audio replay on early 68k macs

    I still plan to make it more usable, but I haven't been working on it for a couple of weeks. It almost plays properly with my current version (which loads .mod files; allocates space + workspace and runs the preparation code from 'C' versions).

    NanoMac, a candy bar sized FPGA Mac Plus / PlusToo

    MIDI will work on my MØBius RP2040/RP2350 based emulator. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/more-pico-mac-stuff.48673/page-2#post-564986 @MIST : I thought there was a difference. On a real Mac, you need an external clock signal (Hsk?) at 1MHz or 0.5MHz and the SCC configured to let HSk...

    PB190 & System 7.1?

    Good point, I hadn't checked. In fact it was in 32-bit mode, but switching to 24-bit mode was the same: 2495kB to 2506kB.
