Maybe they don't acknowledge them in the 'general' sense, but they know that the people keeping their platform viable – the developers – remember and appreciate. See these two Tweets from WWDC22 (held just five months ago) as an example, where Apple had a TAM in attendance even: There are a...

Specifically sounds like the second screenshot on the Garden's entry for Encarta '95, which is not necessarily period-correct for Mac OS 8 but still should have run just fine on a Beige G3: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/microsoft-encarta-95

Only somewhat decently sourced, but I typically use Wikipedia for this sort of research, at least as a springboard: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Studio_Display_(1998%E2%80%932004).

Enjoy it, man! I keep trying to buy Tadpoles every time they show up on eBay, and I'm always massively outbid. I already have a collection of Sun workstations, but a laptop is "easier" to bring out and hack on.

It looks like the issue may be your version of Macsbug is too new for the Mac II ROM? From old Usenet thread:

I know this is probably blasphemous, but I have idly wondered about finding a panel that could actually drive an actual Compact Mac's innards. A 1024×768 panel could probably be coerced to do 512×384 somewhat reasonably since it's a clean 2:1 map, too…

I don't have a clue scientifically, but anecdotally: I always put cards atop the anti-ESD bags they come in to visually inspect them before installation. I haven't had a card (NuBus, PDS, CommSlot, ISA, PCI, PCI-e) fail on me due to this practice in the past 24 years I've been installing cards...

My line of thinking would be: Could you use the SE for parts? Does it work? (Do you have another SE or similar that could need spare chips some day?) How much is the card with to you? If SEs are going for 50-100 € and this seller is asking 120 €, is the card worth 20-70 € to you?

10.6 was the last with Rosetta.

10.6 was a nice release. An '08 mini was my first Mactel box, so while I hate the things (it suffered through four dead nvidious GPUs before Apple gave up and sent me a unibody to shut me up), they are a bit of nostalgia for me. Have fun with it!

I ran the click of death verifier on my Zip disk collection some time around 2006. I have no idea if any of my new(ly acquired, old stock) drives are going to read them or not, but since I have three internal IDE and only one SCSI, I think one of the IDE drives will be the sacrificial test to...

MacsBug SS (Step Spy) is mostly equivalent to gdb's watch, though SS takes a range while watch only takes a single address. I'd try a few different times and see if the address changes each time. If it does, we know it's some sort of noise on the address line. If it doesn't, perhaps it's...

It looked something like this. The colours spun inside. It may have been an app; I’m going to try and install what I remember from that iMac on my ‘Book this weekend and see if I can find it…

The thread on nostalgia made me remember something that I swear I experienced when Jaguar was the current OS, but I've never been able to make Jaguar do on any of my hardware since. When I was messing with Netscape 6 with said friend on her lamp, I swear there was a different beach ball cursor...

My first Mac experience was some time in the late 90s with a Quadra running 7.5, so I'm super nostalgic for that. And somehow, both PB 1400s I have require 8.0, so I'll probably end up refurbishing one of my 5300cs laptops for that… I do feel some amount of nostalgia for Mac OS 9, but I have a...

Just a silly theory, but `51c8` decodes to `andw %a1@,%d4` as an 68K opcode… `fff2` is nowhere near valid, though.

Funny, that's the one C99 feature I don't use. Years and years of targeting Visual C++ taught me to never rely on that working. I can't find any reference back to CW 10 Gold about when the feature was added to CW. Now you have me wondering: could this have anything to do with the version of...

It's probably not helpful for your case, obviously, but I standardised on CW Pro 6 and have it installed on my 1400c (with G3 upgrade), beige G3, and various G4s. I can still build for 68K, but I have no interest in hosting on 68K. This is also the version of CW I used in 2011 to port some of...

I'm still learning the ins and outs of 68K Macs, but I do know more than any decent person should about old Unix drivers. The main flaw I can see is if the SCSI controller differs. A/UX, being a SysV / BSD derivative, would not support what is now called a kernel extension (kext) like Darwin...
