    What’s the best way to archive old Apple install discs?

    using actual data gathered from users and doing an investigation into the problem that results in a piece of automated tooling? that's crazy talk, we should all just follow the advice of some randomer on the internet pulling opinions out of their dvd drive (I didn't know about the shell...

    What’s the best way to archive old Apple install discs?

    lucky you. also, methodologically, "works for me" is a terrible reason to advise someone to do something, though i appreciate it can be difficult to tell the difference between an opinion and an empirically grounded truth

    What’s the best way to archive old Apple install discs?

    because it mangles partition and boot information, and is generally a bad idea. this is how all those mangled images on mac garden get made. please don't add to them, or advise other people to.

    What’s the best way to archive old Apple install discs?

    imgburn on windows is the easy way. Using dd can be more of a pain because you have to make sure you have the right partition, especially for bootable disks. Using disk utility for bootable CDs is a good way to get mangled images, don't do it.

    Lines on the SE/30 screen after recapping

    Yeah, that's pretty typical. Glad you got it sorted! Yeah - once you've got it clean then it should be largely stable but the act of cleaning can dislodge stuff that was marginal.

    Getting CPU Speed Using the Gestalt Manager

    I mean in the application, sorry. This isn't some neat system-level facility.

    Getting CPU Speed Using the Gestalt Manager

    Yes. Specifically, I assume, in the AffichFrq2 function in 'CODE' 4. Which looks like a bit of a mess, if I'm being honest...

    Getting CPU Speed Using the Gestalt Manager

    No pclk for me on an 040 either; it seems to make a wild guess based on some magic involving the contents of the kFrq resource. Too tired to take it to bits to work out exactly what.

    Getting CPU Speed Using the Gestalt Manager

    Look at the text box at the bottom: it says it's a pseudo-selector, which means it's synthesising it from other Gestalt data.

    Lines on the SE/30 screen after recapping

    They're every 8 pixels, which means that one bit of each byte of VRAM isn't making it back out again. Probably some damage or corrosion somewhere around the row of chips UA8-UG8, they'te notorious for getting knackered by any corrosion going around.

    Basilisk II - Odd FPU Behaviour

    Can you upload your test program? I don't have the mental wherewithal to dig deeply into this (or anything else) at present but I can try it out here and check that it's reproducible and try to have opinions about it, for what little those are worth...

    Emulation: Binaries for Mini vMac 37 with LToUDP

    Ah, hello! You found us! Yes, your work was absolutely key to getting LToUDP off the ground and working and I was hoping at some point I'd have the opportunity to thank you for it - it was very easy to drop in another protocol layer on top of the work you did in mini vMac.
