Cool. I somehow doubt that was approved by Apple management, particularly seeing as http://www.apple.com/emate didn't exist (I verified that link with Archive.org). So it was probably some web designer or the website administrator that threw that in. Designer would be my guess, since a lot...

Go with what QuadSix50 said: NetBSD, OpenBSD, or Linux. There are good reasons for that, but I think that the main one that you're going to run into are a limited number of daemons for the older operating systems. I also wouldn't waste your time trying to get NextSTEP running on a Mac. It...

@Mike: Did it use special terminals, or was it something that you accessed via a communications program on a computer. @Bunsen: Well, most terminals (all?) did include a microprocessor, RAM, and ROM. It's just the firmware was very, erm, firm about what it could do. I wonder if it would be...

Well, printing can be quite expensive. Distributing new directories can be quite expensive. Either trashing or recycling old directories can be expensive. Compare that with a low end terminal that will last several years (instead of one year) and yeah, it may end up cheaper. But this...

If Disk Utility can mount the System 7 floppies, then it should be able to write those disk images to the floppy diskette. Assuming, of course, that your floppy drive is compatible with the OS. (Is this true with OS X?) At least with respect to DiskCopy 4.2 images, the software creates an...

Minitel was available elsewhere, either as a lasting service or as a trial service. It was kinda fun reading the Wikipedia article about it, because it offered some insight as to why English and German appeared to be dominant languages on the 'net in the early days, while French was not.

There are really three things to be concerned about here. The first is the boot drive. The Apple II scans for a bootable device starting at slot 7 and working towards slot 0. From my recollections, it doesn't matter which slot the bootable device is in, though you'd probably want to put a...

I did a Google search for Minitel. If sounds like that's a terminal for an online service that was offered through some telephone companies. It used a different protocol for the modem (hardware level is v.23) and it used a different protocol at the software level (X.25). So I'm guessing that...

IIRC, undefined symbol would be a linker error. It may mean that you're not using the right version of the library, or that you didn't tell the compiler to link against the library.

That's a nice collection of games, but I do hope that you won't have to write about your bizarre adventures with zebras after zipping to the zoo. :) For some reason, I've been feeling the urge to pull out an Amiga for the last couple of weeks.

I can't speak for the original poster, but some of us really, really, really like System 7.1. :D

To my knowledge, the Amiga hasn't been implemented on a single chip. It's chipset has though, and it's called a Minimig. To my knowledge, the original PacMan would have been a much, much simpler machine than a Mac Plus but I have no doubt that the Plus would be relatively simple to clone with...

On the testing SIMMs one module at a time bit, I'd say the LC since it's easy to work in and can accept memory in banks of two. Most Macs that use 30-pin SIMMs need memory installed in banks of 4.

It wounds like you have a bad install disk then.

Sexy? Fetish? Well, make sure you don't get the wrong hardware jammed inside the drive. The slot is kinda the wrong shape. :p

It has been a while since I used System 7.1, but I'm pretty sure that the install floppy has a System Folder. Since it seems semi-bootable maybe the folder got renamed. The System Folder will be the one with the System and Finder files.

I think this is the file you need. You will have to unarchive it prior to copying it to the system folder of your boot floppy...

It has been a while, so I could be wrong here, but I think that you also have to change "slot 6" to "my card", otherwise it will assume that you're trying to boot from the internal floppy controller.

http://web.archive.org/web/*/http://www-personal.umich.edu/~rpettigr/stuff/macplustour.mp3 will get you to an archive of that file. And when is the music from the "dreadful hippy bands"? All that I caught was the 80's corporate video music. (Granted, I pretty much scanned through the MP3 file...

Cool, the second best 68k Mac. }:) But why all of the emphasis on No HD? You got a HD with it. They just gave you the opportunity to pick the one that you wanted off the shelf and install it yourself. Now try doing that at an Apple Store. ;)
