I'm doing a bit of development which might interest users here - and not just users of old Macs either.  The problem that I'm trying to solve is making the Internet, and specifically the Web and Email, available to old Macs - many of which can't do ssl secured email or browsing. There are...

I've just released a new game on the iOS app store, in both free and paid for versions (although, for some reason, the free version isn't showing up yet).  The game is called Innecto (https://www.45rpmsoftware.com/innecto.php) and, ordinarily, I wouldn't post anything about it here because it...

I found that A/UX 3 was fine on my SE/30 - I was even able to get on the net (via an Asante Ethernet card).  Performance was fine (64MB in my SE/30).  But there are two provisos that you must be aware of.  Firstly, sound doesn't work in most applications - so you'll have to get used to computing...

Very Interesting (GrayBox) - but also very dead.  It doesn't seem to have been updated for six years.  I'd love to have an emulator which permitted the running of 68k and PPC Classic apps in an interleaved environment - Classic for modern Macs.  I'd pay for that!

@galgot What's Alpine?  Ideally, though, I don't want SSH on the 68k Mac at all. @IPalindromeI What software would you recommend for an open relay?

I still use my old (68k) Mac for work, mainly because it has some handy software that I paid hundreds for a couple of decades ago, and I'm too cheap to update to newer versions.  Besides, I really like my old Mac - the aesthetic, the way it feels. It's a pain to have to switch from 68k land to...

@Bunsen Simple to write = nice and relaxing to play with!

@PowerPup Why thank you.  I'm very glad that you like my little effort - and feel free to modify and tweak it to your hearts content!

@techknight Why?  Why not?  You might as well ask why I wrote it for the 68k Macs at all.  The reason is that I needed a break from writing my latest app - and writing something for an old computer, using an old compiler, seemed like a pretty good way of resting my brain without letting it...

@techknight The RTC shouldn't be a problem - as long as you can cope with never setting the date and time backwards.  The system would need patching and updating so that, on going, dates that the RTC reports get incremented by 28 years.  So if the RTC thinks that the date is 26th March 1994 the...

And here it is!  Some brand spanking new 68k Mac software (and source code).  Feel free to mirror it, throw it around, fiddle with it, do what you will - but if you make any changes, please send the updated source code back to me for merging into the main branch...

Poor 68k Mac.  It's two decades since you could buy one new, and I'd be prepared to bet (albeit not too much money) that it's several years since any new software was released for it.  I was seeking a bit of a break from a project that I'm working on for OS X, so I decided to rectify this...

My SE/30 is almost perfect.  It has a 32bit clean ROM, a 1GB hard disk, 68MB RAM, an Asante Maccon ethernet card - and A/UX 3.01 installed.  The only fly in the ointment is the noise it makes.  The fan is silent now (I fitted a Silenx fan to it), but the hard disk is rather shrill. Does anyone...

I am the proud possessor of half an Asante Maccon SE30i ethernet card.  I have the main card, but I do not have the daughterboard.  Is it, as I fear, utterly useless?  Or is it not entirely impossible to transplant the daughterboard from another ethernet card (I have a Farralon as well)?  Or can...

The only thing I miss is the ability to install the OS by drag and dropping the System folder. A massive backwards step from the classic MacOS.

I was challenged to up the ante and use my LCIII for a couple of days. With Mulberry, BBEdit and MS Office I was able to work quite happily - although I did later run into some difficulty when importing my older MS Office work directly into the latest version. I used Gopher instead of www, and...

I have a Quadra 650 running A/UX and hence System 7.0.1. Question is, how do I switch monitor resolutions - the monitors control panel doesn't show different resolutions, it just says Apple 21" Monitor (it isn't - it's a Samsung LCD). At the moment, I have to switch to MacOS 8.1, switch...

A cunning plan and one, in fact, that I'd considered. It didn't work though - which is why I suspected it was expecting at 800k disk (despite being 2k too large, although this is within the realm of fancy formatting)

Bump!  Sorry to bump a (relatively old) thread - but does anyone have a disk image for the Dayna installer?  I'm trying to get my SE/30 up and running with the network - but no dice because I can't install the Dayna drivers.  The files don't quite fit on an 800K disk - and it's repeatedly...

Really not much of a challenge.  I did just this (involuntarily) last month, and it really wasn't too painful.  My Retina MacBook died (the backlight would come on, the fans would spin up, it got hot, but other than that it did nothing) so I took it to Apple for repair.  That took a week.  Given...
