    Motorola 68060 upgrade

    I read through quite a bit of the Discord posts about Mac and ST progress. It looks promising. To my knowledge there hasn't been much progress in developing open source FPGA recreations for Mac hardware after the initial work was done a decade ago. There were some fixes when the Macintosh...

    Motorola 68060 upgrade

    It seems I was incorrect, PiStorm has developed quite a bit since I last read about it. What I didn't know about was that it does a lot more on the Amiga including Kickstart ROM mapping, using the RPi RAM as fast RAM, and PiSCSI access to storage devices connect to the RPi. The reason these...

    Motorola 68060 upgrade

    ^That's a cool idea... which is I guess why it's called "CoolBox." As far as the FPGA solutions go, part of the problem is the capabilities of the FPGA used. The Cyclone V in the DE10-Nano used in MiSTer has ~110K logic elements. So far a 68020 is the largest 68K that has been squeezed into...

    PowerBook 1xx Upgrade Questions

    I've done a bit of searching, and while my Google-fu is usually pretty good I haven't been able to come up with any answers to these questions. Are the PowerBooks in the 100 series limited to a max of 8 or 14MB because of a hardware limitation? I ask this because many Macs were limited to the...

    Good OSes for your 68k Mac

    Has anyone ever been able to shoehorn 6.0.8 onto a PowerBook 1xx other than the PB 100?

    Mac OS 9

    I was coming to the same conclusions but thought I'd ask. Perhaps at some point I'll pickup a Mac OS 9 native machine.

    Mac OS 9

    I've got Mac OS 9.2.2 running on a G4 Mini at 1920x1080 with Ethernet and it's generally good. I'm surprised by how much older software from 6-8 runs fine on it, far more than I remember before I switched to OS X. However, there's still quite a few freezes and "pauses" while the system seems...

    RPi3 with a fstab mounted directory to a directory on the NAS with pertinent .sit and .zip content with is all archived software, then Netatalk 2.x sharing that content with the System 6 - Mac OS 9 machines. A separate shared directory only on the Netatalk RP3 that has uncompressed "native...

    Netatalk 2.2.9 Released

    ^ Thank you. I kept researching after I posted the questions, but you perfectly explained everything I hadn't been able to piece together yet. I didn't think about the consequences of the different resource forks, as I've simply been running whatever version of Netatalk is packaged with my...

    Netatalk 2.2.9 Released

    These may seem like stupid questions, but I haven't been able to find the answer anywhere. I've got a Linux Mint PC running as my home server with Netatalk 3.1.12 installed from the distro packages. Last summer it worked fine with Mac OS 9. Now Mac OS 9 no longer sees the server and when...
