An updated preview release of the utility, which now has a name, "GetDown Classic" is available for download here: http://www.68k.party/software/GetDownClassic-0.99.5b.sit. As per @MindWalker 's request, there's now a proper stop button.

Thanks for the feedback, @MindWalker. Were you using the original one I posted about in the first post, or the updated one I subsequently posted. I ask because that dialog box thing is something I encountered, and thought we had already addressed in the subsequent preview. We've already got an...

It's on the wishlist :)

An updated preview release of this utility can be downloaded here: http://www.68k.party/software/HTTP-Downloader-0.99.3b.sit. In this build, the preferences pane is fully functional. It's used to save a list of URLs, to be used as presets. Testing is appreciated, particularly from someone...

An updated preview release of this utility can be downloaded here: http://www.68k.party/software/HTTP-Downloader-0.99.2b.sit. In this build, error handling (timeouts, etc) has been much improved, and there's the not-yet-functional skeleton of a preferences pane that will be used to save a list...

Hi folks, is anyone here aware of any of the standard web browsers which were available in the System 7/8 era, which either have no SSL support at all, or have the ability to entirely disable it?

Yes, it is/was a commissioned work. Luigi30 did fantastic work.

Yep, but I have a plan there, and the utility will eventually have some bookmark-style functionality. In the near-term, I intend to releasea build with a collection of known-working links to some of the most commonly-downloaded applications, such as Stuffit Extractor, some common 68k web...

It isn't yet known to work with MacTCP, but that's a goal. If someone is interested in trying to add that functionality, let me know and I'll share the source with you in advance of its official open release.

It's now been tested on an LC III running System 7.1 and OpenTransport 1.3. It works with 6MB RAM. OpenTransport doesn't load at all if you have fewer than 4MB RAM, which isn't surprising, given that the OpenTransport 1.3 installer won't let you install it, unless your system has 5MB RAM total.

Hi folks. I wanted to share a new utility. It's working title/name is simply "HTTP Downloader" and it does what it says on the tin. It was designed to use minimal resources, and if you try to provide it with an HTTPS URL, it will tell you so. If you provide a URL which redirects to an...

Does anybody know which ersion of Classic MacOS introduced "FileSharingLib"? I suspect it was somewhere around 9.2, but I can't find a definitive answer. Googling 'macos "FileSharingLib"' nets only 27 results.

I'm looking for a list of capacitors/sizes/values for the Delta SMP-220DB PSU,as used in the PowerMac 8100/80 and Quadra 800/840AV. If anyone has created one, if you'd be so kind as to share it, that would be greatly appreciated. My 26-year-old PowerMac 8100/80 thanks you in advance :)

Attached is a seven-page excerpt from the Apple Developer note PDF, which is 94 pages, and contains the authoritative info I was looking for.

Does anyone here have or know of any reference documentation from Apple for CommSlot II specs, and pinouts? and CommSlot I? I found the original CommSlot I pinout documented on Apple's website, as TA31498

Agreed, way off topic, but I think it'd be very interesting to perhaps see if you could add modern wireless connectivity to CSII machines by way of an RPi Zero W, or other low cost SBC with wi-fi. It would need to use the serial interface, hopefully at a reasonably high speed, since most low...

This isn't an accurate depiction of the current state of things, these days, in all circumstances. Most consumer SD cards do have some form of simplistic wear leveling, although the specifics are considered industry secrets. Many SD cards now exist for custom write-heavy uses, which may have a...

It's actually still a true statement, even if it's not for you. The numbers don't lie. The good news for you, though, is that we envisioned this use case (V5.5+IDC50) long ago, and have a couple of very straightforward solutions to it, along the lines of what you're referring to:

Apparently they meant MacSD, which shares no firmware or hardware design with SCSI2SD at all. I have one, and they're nice, but I ran in to some of the same issues as @cheesestraws did, and while it has a nice feature set, it's not the most affordable solution. Since someone brought it up...
