That screen's nice and bright!

I've actually got my career in mind already, so that's out of the question. Real point of the story is, if I didn't make this clear enough before, that I don't actually want it. I don't like intel Macs. 68k is the way to go! On the other hand I can't resist any free computers. So much for dad...

Correction: It's a lot easier if you have a floppy drive (I don't :p ). I've got a hard disk now :) .

Well it's not available for a few weeks still.

I remember reading of one guy who infected all his applications by mistake when trying out a "new" (i.e. beat-up) II-series machine. I've also heard that vanishing icons can be an early sign of disk failure.

Just had another thought... Have you dumped the ROMs? And have you got more copies of the disks? When last did you give them a run as well, by the way ;) .

Well, dad's work. One of his clients are giving it away because they're finished with it apparantly. Mom says it's a waste of space (but then she says that about every computer except the main one), and dad says it'll be good for "learning to use a Mac". I'm looking forward to trying to...

Reminds me of my StyleWriter II which complains that there's no cartridge even when there is. I did a full strip-down and clean-up and it still does it.

I know AU/X doesn't work. Now I'm glad to know why. Any idea why no one's tried to make it work? EDIT: I've looked into NetBSD before, but I can't seem to understand how to install it.

If you turn it on, what happens? If you get a chime, then attempt a ressurection. If you get a sad Mac, send it to uniserver. If you get a big bang, send it to the tip.

Just that. I've been bitten by the UNIX bug and now I want a good ol' terminal on my Mac. And preferally one which can run Mac applications as well.

I think they allow two keys because that's enough for key rollover (what happens when fast typists type too fast :lol: ). Other than that there's no real need for more keys from an office point of view, which was, after all, what Macs were designed for...

So it looks like even that won't work. Oh well, I suppose it's not possible then.

But surely we could just run a standard application to dump the RAM contents to a file on the hard disk, and then another application which can be run after bootup (or an extension which does the same thing during bootup) to restore the RAM contents and automagically make the former state...

Those aren't keyDown events; they're modifiers. They're passed differently. I'd thought of that, but all I can find out is that it needs some sort of a "mask", and I don't know how the heck one is supposed to know what that means.

Hi! We all know that our old Macs start up pretty quick, but still, I'm curious... Wouldn't it just need to write the contents of memory to disk, and then, at a later time, read it from disk and write it back into memory? Or would the system crash during the re-write process? Has anyone done...

It would be better to copy the icons from the original file than to remake them manually.

Hi! As I'm sure you are aware, the Macintosh system will only send keyDown events for up to two keys. If one presses more than two keys, they will not receive any more events. Is there a way to somehow read more keys at a time, even an unlimited number? Thanks, onlyonemac

No, they started a thread on a similar project which ended up going off-topic to discuss this one.

How did you know what to do so that it didn't timebomb the disks? EDIT: Where are my WDEF resources?
