Is there a decent way to change the colors of the menu bar/window borders/etc. on Mac OS 9? There were tools for older versions e.g. Greg's Buttons. I'm guessing this isn't possible with Appearance Manager. Or, could someone point me towards a resource on doing this with an Appearance Manager...

I was looking at 6.92. It's in /usr (usr.tar.Z), so the full path would be /usr/src/boot/Mac2. That's a mistake in my post above, whoops.

From https://www-ftp.lip6.fr/pub/mach/cmu/FAQ/obsolete/MacMach.FAQ: Looks like I need to get my SE/30 up again.

This is awesome to see finally out! From a cursory look inside, the necessary control panel to boot seems to be located in /src/boot/Mac2 in Mach.Hqx. I'm not near any compatible Macs right now, but it'd be awesome to see someone try this out!

The stack is in the first download here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/professional-machten-68k You're going to need to install the man pages as directed on that CD as well. Thanks!

For anyone else who needs to find it, look up "mackbd_m0110a.zip".

Is there a dump of the firmware of the 8748 chip that's used in the M0110A keyboard? I have an M0110A with a damaged chip and would like to restore it to working order. Online I've found dumps of the M0110 ROM but not the -A. Are the ROM contents the same?

It isn't in the stack script, through another error I was able to get to this, but I have no idea how to get to it without seeing the error ("File not open" if usr isn't at the root of the disk still). Sending a message such as "edit script of field id 42" results in "There is no bkgnd field id...

I believe Tenon may have shipped a broken version of ManTen with MachTen 2.3. Professional MachTen is basically a 4.3BSD running on top of Mach on top of Mac OS. ManTen is a HyperCard viewer for the man pages shipped with the distribution. If you don't know about the structure of MachTen, then...

Indeed, I've had it working fine on 8 even, just not X.

Indeed, they seem to have basically disappeared. I wish someone had a backup of their FTP server, or someone eventually shows up who used to work there. I wonder if the domain will be renewed in 2025 and how much longer the site will stay up.

Thanks for making those images! MacIPgw-VM is working perfectly in this instance, it's just something to do with how MachTen needs to be configured. As an aside, it seems that the VM has quite a few things that depend on the name of the interface being `enp0s3`. I was trying to run the VM in...

I'm trying to get a network up using macipgw and an AsantePrint, and it actually fully works on the Mac side of things, but it doesn't seem to work through Professional MachTen. I have the networking pane configured properly (at0 IP 172.16.2.2, gateway 172.16.2.1, DNS 8.8.8.8, search domain...

  X11R6 server running on 10 MB of RAM!

Had time to poke at this again. I installed 7.5.3, OpenTransport 1.1.2, and MachTen 2.3 and X is working on the 610. I'm wondering if it didn't work because it seems maybe an update was needed to work on 7.5.5 (http://ftp.tenon.com/pub/updates/2.3/X11-755.tgz); have you tested X on 7.5.5? It...

Nope, see the datasheet for the MC68882 (specifically page 5-98/PDF page 3). The CPU and the MC68882 work fine together at different clock speeds.

I sent these all with no response: From another address on a totally different provider: I think it's decently safe to say they're defunct.

I got it to boot with this: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/23373-mac-os-9-2-2-boot-kit-for-booting-your-g3-g4-from-an-usb-stick The CD-ROM drive and hard drive are working perfectly fine. I installed OS 9.2.2 off of a CD while booted off of USB and the machine is working perfectly now. Weird.

I took my iMac G3 out and it boots up to a blinking folder, but it won't boot anything. If I try to boot any CD I get a DEFAULT CATCH code 70, and it won't boot off of the disk either. I used my G5 and Target Disk Mode to install Tiger on the machine but it won't boot from that or find it in the...

Okay, I checked and the first time I emailed them (at least on my current address) was at the beginning of February 2020. I've tried a few times since then, and I know others have as well. I feel like it's pretty safe to say they're defunct at this point and it should be considered abandonware.
