Mac OS X's command line hdiutil is pretty solid. It's the command line tool that Disk Utility is invoking under the hood when dealing with disk images of any form. There's a convert option under `man hdiutil` that describes its capabilities as such:

Calling out one thing that the Radius cards can do, specifically, looking at those benchmarks. Are any of these numbers with the QuickColor control panel and a Radius NuBus card? I don't think I see any Radius cards listed there. My current setup on my Quadra has QuickColor accelerating the...

I've definitely had a Rocket under RocketShare running 7.1(.3? .2? Similar timeframe as 7.1Pro) under Mac OS 8.1 on the Quadra. I don't recall if I went as far as RocketShare under Mac OS 9.1 on a Nubus PM 7100, but I might have.  :)  I know I had a Rocket running on that hardware.

Rockets should work great with the IIvx PSU, I had a fully loaded one working fine with the less beefy Q700 PSU. If you have any problems with starting the IIvx while they're connected, you can remove a few of the RAM modules to reduce the power draw and the HEAT those things give. I'll admit I...

Pardon me, the USA Copyright Office has an interesting concept of sessions and limited resources. If you're willing to brave their system, search for document number V3435D122, there are three entries with the title "Apache Strike". From the link in "Title appears in document #[...]", you'll...

Exactly right. CodeWarrior had two major releases a year, and the "Pro" suffix was a good way of avoiding the 20s.  :) CodeWarrior Pro 4 is solid on a 68040, any later and they start gradually PPC only, Carbon only, Mac OS X only... I don't recall if CWP4 works on a 68030, but there were...

Maybe, but they're large enough that it's likely hard to get through to them. The best resource I can find from searching the U.S. Copyright Office involves a bulk reassignment to a very large video game company in 1999. They have titles on GOG but not this one, in any form.

Though I was about to blame LEM.com (again), it turns out that dishwasher advice is as old as the pickle's Low-End Mac FAQ. Although that should have only applied to cases and not logic boards. I like that he's raising awareness of the Mac caps problem, perhaps my standards are low for YouTube...

I think you are exactly one step away from banging on the reason why FileMaker* and its contemporaries don't make much sense today. Namely, when a modern Mac already comes with Xcode, SQLite, and front ends to SQLite are as easily found as books to start programming for Mac OS X. Does a...

It does help to give the browsers more RAM (highlight the apps in Finder, select "Get info" from the "File" menu, adjust the memory allocation as desired) and to have the very helpful Netscape Defrost extension installed. The stability is a bit typical of iCab and Netscape. Though I find with...

For practical purposes, it really doesn't matter as long as you never strip the resource forks from your Macintosh files by copying them to a not-Macintosh formatted disk. I suggest taking a look at the resource fork Wikipedia for all these details. It should answer all of your questions.

If you have OpenTransport you are probably slightly better off using DHCP rather than manually entering an IPv4 address, then restarting the Mac to save your networking settings and get a new DHCP lease. That lets your router handle automatically configuring the Mac on your local network. From...

FWIW, if you want an SMTP e-mail client that can handle plaintext e-mail well, the freeware Musashi works well on 68k Macs against System 7.5 and later. It's better than Eudora. No SSL support, but no software that's more than ten years old can handle today's SSL, for reasons already mentioned...

Just standard questions for diagnosing a problem. Both your earlier post and this one don't say much about the exact errors that you're seeing: What exactly is Netscape telling you when you try to connect to an http(not s) website? Don't expect much from trying to connect to any reasonably up...

There's nothing I'm aware of that won't require a CSV export. Even the old AppleWorks/ClarisWorks databases had no good export story besides exporting to a comma separated plaintext ASCII file. HyperCard might be your best bet. Between the flexibility of its scripting language HyperTalk (a good...

Yes, Asante cards usually required drivers. Their website used to have a great driver and documentation archive but that's gone now. This driver from AppleFritter might help.

The word was, specifically around the Macintosh SE/30, that the Astec PSUs were less reliable than the Sony PSUs. I can't really give you a good primary source around where that knowledge came from. Of the PSUs I've owned for modular compact Macs, the Astec ones ended up running into problems...

Whether this is relevant for the Houdini, I recall for the SoundCanvases and their derivatives, the mini DIN pin outs for the PC and Mac cables were different between each other. As said above, Mac one is indeed a standard beige Mac-compatible serial cable. QuickTime 2(.1?) and OMS do a...

If you really want to get to this level of identifying a performance issue in Leopard with your software, try downloading Xcode 3.1.4 from the download archives at developer.apple.com and look at the OpenGL Profiler (official documentation) that's installed in one of the /Developer/...

That makes perfect sense. Thimbleweed Park also uses SDL 2 on Windows and Mac though apparently not for rendering. I don't know if it's defaulting to a software renderer, or using the OpenGL APIs in a dumb-as-bricks way (draw to texture, copy texture to framebuffer levels of basic) that's...
