I have a networked SE running system 6 that I'd like to be able to print from. It seems quite unlikely, but here's my setup... USB Inkjet printer connected to a router (lpd://192.168.1.200/L1). I can print to it from my Linux and OSX machines via Cups. I've read the following...

Off the top of my head (ie "maybe wrong"), I think you want CurApName and CurApRefNum.

Thanks everyone. I'm ready to take another crack at it now.

I'm trying to use MPW for the first time. I'm trying to compile some source-code from Mac Tech. It's an MPW project, but the makefile calls for C, and in my MPW tools folder I don't have C, I have MrC and SC. I changed the C to SC and it complains that it can't find a included file. That...

OMG, how did I just learn about this?! *That* would have been very useful to know about 20 years ago. :p

Lol On a serious note, it's a nice but expensive mouse-pad... How much of the proceeds does RetroChallenge get? I'd like to support RC, and need a mouse-pad.

Congrats to the winners. The mouse-pad looks nice. I have to say, I think PrintStar and Pukka should have been co-winners of the programming category and split the mouse-pad.

Congrats. I've got wifi on my eMate. I agree that the drivers are a major accomplishment. I just wish NIE was a bit better. I've never liked it much.

Me too.

...and I'd rather win a gold medal than a silver, but it doesn't mean a silver isn't better than a bronze. Reading Mac128's post, and trying to understand the spirit of what he's saying, I don't think he's advocating you *not* try to get a non-yellowed case, but more, the value of very yellowed...

Hopefully.

I agree with Mac128 about the issue 100%.

Not that I can help, but you might have been better served to ask this in the software forum. You might have gotten more eyeballs on it. Not sure. The vintage-macs mailing list on lowendmacs is another good place to ask questions.

Not that I disagree, but as an observation, this is contrary to TomLee's lowest-syllable-count assertion... "Five two-sixty" and "Six one one six" would be shorter. I bring this up only because I have 20 minutes to kill.

Dennis, Nice info about the roms. Out of curiosity, why do you have the Powerbook 165 listed as "Really Wanted" compared to the rest of the PB1XX series?

A little late, but here's my official thanks to Luddite for running the comp and thanks to Lorance for hosting the BBS. I had fun reading everyone's blogs and look forward to the next round.

Very many routers (and yes, I'm talking about the kind you buy at Home Depot) out there have serial ports *inside* them (note J6 and J7 are both serial ports).... http://devices.natetrue.com/musicap/12%20-%20Serial%20ports.jpg'>http://devices.natetrue.com/musicap/12%20-%20Serial%20ports.jpg...

I get what you're saying. Obviously everyone draws their lines in different places. I won't tell anyone how they decide what makes using old computers worthwhile to them. If one asks, "why not just use the new computer," then that's fine, but I can't relate to why they're trying to get their...

And uIP has SLIP support in it, so that's nice... 128K Mac -> uIP -> OpenWRT -> internet. Easy as pi.

Ok, I see, but I'm unsympathetic. ;) I'll buy that PDS ethernet cards, Scsi/ethernet adapters and the appletalk/ethernet adapters are hard to find, so we need another solution, but how realistic is it to need to hook up an old-mac to a router in a house with no other computers? Surely you...
