While you were discussing this on other forums, I started wondering: since it's written in Forth, how difficult would it be to get it to run in Open Firmware? Didn't mention it before since your main effort is to port it to C. Sticking with plain Toolbox and QuickDraw is probably the thing to...

Funny; I still remember the smell of the box I got ClarisWorks 2.0 in. Unpackaging it and sticking the floppy in my Mac Plus for the first time.... As far as the zipping goes -- looks to me like you've got stripped metadata? Not sure if Mihai's zip solution is supposed to capture that. Have...

IIRC, the IIGS was sold from 1986 right through 1993 (although production stopped in 1992), and it used a highly optimized production line, so was able to crank out a lot of units. The IIc used the same style of production, but only ran from 1984 to 1988 -- and was competing directly against...

On my Showoff G4 Mini, I dual boot OS 9 and the Snow Leopard PPC beta -- but I have to admit I spend more time on my G4 Mini that runs 10.4 and Classic. I get a perverse pleasure out of switching between OS 9 and 10.6, two OSes where people routinely say "you can't run that on a G4 Mini!"

Back in the day, I had great luck with FWB HD Toolkit and its drivers, when SCSI Probe could see the drive but Apple's drivers couldn't mount it.

Something I discovered in the late 1990s/early 2000s was that for my older hardware to read/boot the discs reliably, I had to burn them on a speed the older reader could read them at. No idea why, but I got in the habit of doing this, and most of my read/boot issues vanished. Possibly this...

Is the drive the original Quantum 80MB?

I vote for preparing the Zigintosh!

Since it's mothballed now, but I just came across it, let me co-opt the thread to say: I used to use LAN8720! Great little chip! We used it with a 25MHz crystal and a stripped-down Atmel chip that had an embedded but customizable TCP/IP stack. Lots of flexibility there while keeping costs...

Hmm... first one published by Senko and the second by Delta Tao. This led me down a rabbit hole to generate this: Year Game / Release (platform) Publisher (region / notes) Initial date published (by that publisher) 1986 Dark Castle (Mac) Silicon Beach Software (WW / original Macintosh)...

Ah; faulty memory; the DV SE was regular DIMMs, not SODIMMS, wasn't it?

That was on a 1999 iMac DV SE, so not that different from a Rev D.

I used to use unmatched low density 256MB PC133 SODIMMs at 100MHz without issues as well.

I used to have to apply similar tape to hardware we were submitting for FCC emissions testing. After the battery of tests were complete and all the paperwork filled in, then it got replaced with the simple FCC nutrition label with the # provided by the FCC for certification.

It's not in an extension; we'd have to rip it from the system file and build it based on how the 3.0 is constructed.

I'd guess you're probably right with the USB route -- they were probably mid-way through implementing USB when V1 was released, and had been able to free up lines for it without impacting modem functionality, but hadn't actually integrated USB yet. Logic there would be: they could release V1 in...

So here's a thought: since Sound Manager 3.0 patches out the previous Sound Manager, and System 7.5 integrates it into the system... ...could we take the system resources from 7.1 for Sound Manager 2.x, toss them in an extension, label it version 4.0, and have it patch out 3.0 in System 7.5...

How difficult is it to migrate docker images to proxmox? I ask, because it seems to me like a docker build would make a lot of sense here, and then could be scripted to build out a proxmox or other VM config from there. Then there'd only be the need to manage an ARM and an x86 config, and the...

I've got two of the later 1.5GHz 1GB ones, and still use them regularly. One is configured to run Tiger+Classic, and the other multi-boots into 9.2.2, Sorbet Leopard and Snow Leopard Beta -- just because it can. Spends most of its time in 9.2.2 to test/run stuff that requires real OS 9 and a...

Has anyone had any luck running a LWIIf off an RPi running MacIPgw?
