How about moving all the custom chips to a daughterboard, and then making a replacement daughterboard with a CPLD/FPGA? Then you'd be able to make new Macs.

I've been writing a thing with the MacZoop framework (which I'll release real soon now), I started a small article about it here: rven.se/maczoop. I have a few more notes and I'd also like to add an example project setup for CW5. All in all I'm quite happy with. I've worked through the...

I've got two of these I should do. Is there a list of how many and what type/size somewhere?

There is this: https://github.com/classilla/cryanc Although it looks like it's at an early stage as far as the Mac goes. It's based on a different TLS library than the Windows project linked. I don't know if it'd be easier to get WolfSSL to compile and turn that into something usable. But as...

I don't know but it's perfectly possible that the Mac driver only looks for the tablet at the ADB port, in which case you're out of luck.

Haha, might give that a try. For a 32x32 icon it seems like a lot of pressing enter, though.

For my todo list app, which targets OS 7-9, I'm looking for a few small, generic icons for a toolbar - a pencil icon, a wastebasket, and a checkmark, maybe one or two more. Short of just nicking some from an app I like, I wonder if there's somewhere I can look for pixel icons in an appropriate...

So with this I'd be able to keep a bunch of audio CDs on the SD card and play them with any Mac app that lets me play CDs? Even on old, slow models? That's pretty good. How do I change the CD, though?

Urgh! Hopefully now with AI you'll never have to read a book again... (Jokes!)

Greystash said above it's written in RealBasic 5.5, which is available on the Macintosh Garden. I've not used that myself, but as I understand it combines an approachable language with good support for making Mac-like UIs (as LegacyAI shows!). I personally have always heard bad things about...

Finally got a chance to try it out. This was also my first GPT session. I asked some programming questions, it was genuinely helpful explaining what a bit of PPC assembler did (line-by-line explanation and a summary). I did get some "confidently incorrect" answers in some cases, but I suppose...

That's pretty interesting! Well done. To be clear, you are running some sort of proxy, so all prompts go (in cleartext) via a server that you control, and from there to OpenAI's server? (Also, as someone who also dabbles in Mac coding, can I ask how it's made? Compilers, frameworks etc.?)

Interesting! First I've heard of it, do update us if you find out more.

Not sure what you're asking. Altivec is a set of extra "Single instruction, multiple data" aka SIMD or vector processing instructions in G4 PPC processors. It's not an ASIC, it's an ISA extension. There's no secrets at all, lots of PPC apps use it. You can start from...

> I can take a picture of the inside if anyone wants to see it. Are you, umm, asking the 68k Mac Liberation Army if any of us want to see the inside of a NASA-upgraded IIfx?!

I'm writing my first MacOS application, a to do list, using C++ and the MacZoop framework (2.5.1, pre-Carbon) which reads and writes simple plain text files. My first language uses a few non-ASCII characters, so I'd like to keep the on-disk format as UTF-8 so I can share the files with more...

That's very nice work. I have a spare Performa 475 that I might do this with. What are you using the machine for?

For some reason I'd always thought setting this up was difficult, but it turned out to be no trouble at all. I now have AFP access to my NAS and little web server. Though the UTF-8 Markdown format I normally put online is a little unwieldy on OS 9, maybe I should get into Dreamweaver or finally...

This is so great. I wonder how many of these treasure troves are still out there, with people who think that nobody cares anymore. Do you know much about the company? How big a market was this, how many people worked there? I'd love to know more about the history, a lot gets written about Apple...

If you want to change the admin password, boot into single-user mode (cmd+S), you should be dropped to a text prompt. Type "passwd" and hit enter. It will ask you twice for the new password. After that, type "reboot" and hit enter.
