    Anyone have BeOS Developer Releases?

    Does anyone know if BEOS PPC source or parts of it are somewhere available? A good source of inspiration for HAIKU to run on G3/G4 macs.

    A/UX distinctives...

    there is a lot of MAC ROM Internals Information available on the web. The toolbox rom is not reentrant,so multiple apps need some locking, that is why "copland" provided preemptive multitasking to background tasks only. The oldest mac that I have is a 6100,so I can't help much. Oh and I...

    A/UX distinctives...

    I looked into the A/UX 0.7 archive: -no sourcecode beside the kernel, a "less" program and GUI samples -has some kind of interface to the Toolbox ROM that contains the GUI routines -contains code from Sun OS,BSD,and System V r 2.2 -supports multiple file systems -I believe that A/UX 1.44mb...

    Power Macintosh 4400...Your Thoughts?

    Apple called the board also "Tanzania" and it was used in clones but these have PS/2 ports while the 4400 used ADB. The 4400 is not that bad as a 5200/6200 from my view. It is a really cheap machine to test the logic boards and and make a alternative to a cheap PC.

    Favorite Keyboards!

    I liked the old IBM PS/2 keyboards with magnetic plastic. I own a Apple Pro keyboard and the older bondi blue one and a design keyboard. I had a broken looking 1640,that keyboard was really different.

    Why no Contiki for Mac 68K?

    UIP is to much reduced for me. I would better port something like the uc/ip or the KA9Q that coherent and DOS used. Contiki and the UIP stack are very different from what we know of OS working. The Mac OS is able to being hooked by experts in various ways. TCP/IP on 16bit systems is no...

    Sawtooth Motherboard

    The sawtooth mainboard fits in a G3 but the cables to the front panel are different. Sawtooth heatsinks are a example of a not-so-good design,perhaps a prototype overheated and they needed a fast solution. Its a good idea for a rev 1 G3 and performance goes 20% up according to lowendmac.com

    Why no Contiki for Mac 68K?

    Contiki is not really a full OS. Its some embededded device firmware with a text mode UI added. No multitasking is possible and even no program main loops because apps need to poll the event kernel regularly. For apple IIe I recommed writing something like GeckOS/A65 that supports preemptive...
