The 3 looks like a near-perfect match to Helvetica Black, but the G doesn’t quite line up. There are a few adjustments, condensing it slightly and straightening the lower stem of the G.

There’s a Yahoo Auction for just the metal casing, with this photo: It still looks like a very near match to Helvetica Black to me. Not perfect, but I can’t tell if it’s just the angle of the photo or something more.

It looks a lot like Helvetica Black to me, though maybe slightly more rounded on the G.

What are some examples of apps that you think this would be suited for? I think the best approach would be to decide on the apps, and work back from there to figure out what the essential features are. The proposal reminds me of GetDown Classic (but of course that already exists).

I added a Pioneer CD image here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/kanjitalk-7xx-system-software-install-cds Unfortunately, I don’t remember the context for it and have since passed it on.

That looks like good information too. It matches the “elderly MacOS computer” cable from https://whitefiles.org/tec/pgs/h10b.htm as well. Although now I’m confused by that ImageWriter II cable. I still think it was designed for this use case, but it seems weird (for any use case) that it omits...

I think that’s the correct serial cable for connecting a 512k’s DE-9 to a Plus’s miniDIN-8 over AppleTalk. But, as noted on the blog, the wiring of the cable matters, not just the shape of the plug. LocalTalk or PhoneNET adapters would be another way to do it, as long as you can find ones that fit.

I imagine that green/red map to the common A/B accept/cancel behaviors, but I don't know for sure. That's a positional match to SNES/PS, right? You could check if any hybrid Pippin/Mac games (Tunin'Glue, Tamagotchi?) support the controller.

Canadian Multilingual?

Oh, weird. When I have the window open it's constantly updating.

Data Buffer Contents of $03 FE is consistent with left-dragging down and to the left, I think. If the mouse is perfectly still, I’d expect $00 80 for left-click, $80 00 for right-click, and $00 00 for both.

I find it easiest to open up “ADB Record” from the Window menu. When I move around my Pippin controller (which acts as a 2-button mouse by default) I see something along the lines of: Poll Data Count: $02 Data Buffer Contents: $80 80 It looks like the data being sent is something like...

I was sure I had written a LToU dissector before, but I couldn’t find where I had put it. After a good while of struggling, I finally got far enough to understand the question I wanted to ask (how to delegate to the built-in DDP dissector), and Google immediately found this thread for me...

In that era, I believe I used Desktop Manager or Virtue Desktops.

Saw this (The Apple Story — マンガApple物語) and snapped it up. It sure is…something. Looks like it was a special publication from Mac Fan, a Japanese magazine (still published!) on 2003-03-01. Read right-to-left.

Apple Color Emoji is 188MB right there. Another seven preinstalled fonts (for CJK languages) take more than 10MB each. You probably don’t need these, and in System 7 you might have been content with ����, but who would buy a modern computer without emoji support?

For the price of round-trip shipping from Japan you could probably buy your own… But in another thread cheesestraws alerted me to the existence of the ADB Parser tool. Using that I found: The media keys use command $7c (instead of the $2c command used for normal keyboard input) The key codes...

FWIW, the Apple Adjustable Keyboard has volume up/down/mute buttons and these work with 7.5. There is audible feedback but no visual feedback, so the overlay is an improvement. If there’s some way to intercept those events and handle them the same, it would be nice. These don’t seem to be...

What does file flimmaker say about the file type?

In Total Replay’s GAMES.CONF, 30% of the listed games require a joystick. So, there’s a lot of them, but plenty of games that don’t too.
