    implementing Carbon

    Only if they are already Carbon applications, there never was a carbon for 68k. classic 68k programs call trap instructions to get into the toolbox 68k CFM and PPC CFM applications call via "InterfaceLib" and other libraries. So a 68k binary isn't going to give a damn about your CarbonLib it...

    Dodgy networking software

    Rebuild desktop? Sounds like the finder database is out of whack.

    Apple Remote Access question

    My understanding is yes, assuming you are running a version that supports it at both ends. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleTalk_Remote_Access But also consider OT/PPP. I thought this supported both AppleTalk and IP over PPP.

    You can add anything if you are prepared to write the code! :)

    PCI LocalTalk?

    Well, seeing as XP doesn't have AppleTalk and Windows 2000 does!

    System 6 Browser Development Opinions

    It can be built using Think C5.0 which is apparently available. I've also built it using later MPWs including the current one.

    Unix for 8-bit Apple

    Comparing a PDP-7 to a 6502 is not a bad comparison, especially when the UNIX group were using it, it was already considered obsolete. :)

    Mac Plus won't recognize!

    Have you gone through the termination options? What does SCSI-probe say?

    Unix for 8-bit Apple

    I think you might be underestimating the requirements for a UNIX like OS. An 8Mhz 68000 struggles, so how a 6502 is supposed to cope I'm not sure. What you have to do is stretch the definition of UNIX as much as your brain will allow in order to call the small bit of code you shoe horn into the...

    Clamshell iBook G3

    If you want to get real work done, that rules out OS 9. :)

    PCI LocalTalk?

    MacIP, encapsulates IP in DDP. It registers the types IPGATEWAY and IPADDRESS with NBP. The best solution is Windows 2000 Advanced Server, it has the whole she-bang of Services For Macintosh. I use it as a file server for my macs, including a classic and macplus over localtalk. Also NTFS...

    PCI LocalTalk?

    To use IP over any form localtalk you need a MacIP gateway. There is a rumour that some Asante EtherTalk devices did that but mine doesn't. I use another host to provide this service.

    10.2 Install Disk 1

    Get them while you can. I can't abide having a computer that I can't write my own programs on. I managed to find Apple's X11 on X for Jaguar. It took a bit of searching mind you.

    Mac Plus won't recognize!

    Boot from a floppy and run SCSI probe to have a look at the bus and see if it's advertising itself. You have two problems... 1. As I understand it the Mac Plus requires drives that default to using a 512 byte sector ( or some similar initialisation ), later Macs did a negotiation with the...

    PCI LocalTalk?

    Why? I can't really think of any benefit over using an Asante EtherTalk connected to ethernet. Apart from it's one less gadget.

    IOTech "MacSCSI 488"

    When I used the bus we stil called it HP-IB. We had a ton of HP scientific gear ( plotters, frequency analysers etc ) that we controlled using various HP computers ( HP 85 etc ) and Pets ( 8032 etc ).

    Cheese?

    Cheese, wasting time, getting shot? No? And in the original thread, he did omit Cheddar ( the most popular cheese in the world ) from the poll.
