Bam, it’s on Macintosh Garden. Thanks so much @Crutch — very much appreciated. Slow AI programming incoming! Mac Garden ExperLogo

Thanks so much @Crutch — understand life gets in the way of these things. Don’t let it stress you! As I said in my response to your DM, I have some archiving of my own to do… :)

Reason I ask is that this book showed up today, which has its examples for some reason in ExperLogo. PDF of the book at Vintage Apple.

Apologies for revivifying an old thread, but did this ever get archived @Crutch ? Can’t find it in the usual places.

Does anyone know if the source code disks to any of the early assembly books are preserved anywhere?

Really good idea. I use original hardware for the most part, but Inside Macintosh on iPad.

Nice. I managed to get my hands on the Apple branded one last year — have had an eye out for this. I probably don’t really need both. I’ve been trying to learn it using Dan Weston’s book — volume I of this guy...

Thanks olePigeon — haven’t opened her up yet, but I’ll get to it over the Christmas break. Fingers crossed.

Thanks CC — good advice. I’ll keep the forum informed!

Ah. Sounds like ROM and RAM issues: https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/unhappy-macintosh-128k-thick-vertical-lines.22538/page-2 Siiiiigh.

Also, the most perfect keyboard cable ever:

A new 128k! Virtually perfect case, keyboard and numeric keypad, external 400k drive and mouse. Original Macintosh with red battery compartment interior, but boots to this: Any ideas? Pina has this symptom but for a 512k. Haven’t opened the case yet — it may have been upgraded.

And at the other end of the spectrum, the 68000 Development System assembly programming environment. Quite pleased with this one.

Whelp, as is my wont it's been a while between drinks, but time to go through some of my recent software conquests. First we have a game I've wanted for ages: Thexder, here photographed poorly.

Another drive to Sydney over the weekend. This time for this *immaculate* platinum Plus, in its box, with accessories, manuals, and external floppy drive. There are even two yellow plastic disk head protection inserts! Warms the cockles of my heart because this is exactly the computer I had when...

One thing that confused me for a while: it seems you need to launch the desk accessory the installer installs before it’ll work. Each boot. I assume that loads some resources in pre-init System Software.

So, we know that power supply works. Note also the complete in box one on US eBay at the moment. If someone buys it, please scan the manual.

Thanks Volvo and Frank. There are a few companies selling US plug equipment in Australia. I’ll have a hunt to find the cheapest option. I will get there.
