Just to note that I really appreciate your writeups, @Realitystorm! It's a lot of work to track all the various instances of these documents down...

Since some of these links and images have since disappeared, I scanned in the MacClip/PowerClip Jr manual and imaged the June 1995 benchmarking disk: https://archive.org/details/newer-mac-clip-power-clip

Wonderful, thanks so much!

My inspection of the c code so far has delivered the insight that "RasterOps blue/green" is defined as #00dfaa. Still working on the rest of it. :) The logo in the 8LC board code, for example, is defined as a 31x37 array...

Wonder how easy it would be to extract the bitmaps from the c code? If I’m understanding correctly, you used to only see these flash on the screen at boot — it would great to have them as actual files…

I owned a IIsi back in the day and yes, I think this card would have been really compelling if it was in the office and not at home (still had LocalTalk there!). But agree the cost could have been an issue. I only became aware of this kind of card very recently, as part of a project to scan and...

Probably the earliest possible version of JPEGView, as you note, or possibly GraphicConverter? Another option would be to see when DeBabelizer shipped. All of these could be System 7-only, of course. JPEGView predates QuickTime but am not sure about System 7. Anything from around the Fall of...

Interesting new development: http://hackaday.com/2017/05/01/the-raspberry-pi-becomes-a-scsi-device/ The project itself (in Japanese):  http://www.geocities.jp/kugimoto0715/rascsi/index.html Change over to low-density port, and pair this with some disk images on a SD card, you could build a...

So when booting from an external FloppyEmu, and thus having an empty disk drive, I get an audible "disk seek" noise at about 0.5 second intervals.  This noise abates once I launch an application, but returns once the program has fully loaded.  The disk drive itself seems to work fine otherwise...

A few ideas: 1) Are you in 256 colors mode, or 256 shades of grey mode?  The latter is optimized for greyscale monitors and, at least in System 6/7, would display the Apple Menu icon as solid rather than shades of grey. Confusingly, many color elements remain on screen when you use this...

The 68000 on one of my Mac 512k's seems to have had three pins connected to something at one point.   Curious if folks can guess what device/upgrade might have originally been installed?

Anyone know if the original, non-backlit Mac Portable has a fuse on the motherboard? I've seen references to one, but don't know if they might have involved the revised model, and I can't seem to locate any fuses on my motherboard...

A common problem when rooting around on old media is the tedious process of converting MacWrite files for viewing. Oftentimes these are ReadMe files that explain exactly what the software is, or provide other crucial information about what's on a disk. Unlike pure-text documents from...

So actually on the 3.5" CF AztecMonster there's a special note in the manual: Mac Plus does not boot from this card normally. You must cut #40pin RST fuction from flat cable. CF card volume is recommended under 2GB.

Ah, wonderful to get closure on this, and thanks for submitting the fix! I had trawled the mailing list for netatalk but didn't think to check the git repository. Out of curiosity, do you have any thoughts on 7.6.x clients and large (> 2gig) shares? I know it somewhat depends on both of...

I think Netatalk 2.2.2 may actually fix this -- my install of 2.2.0 was failing to support DDP shares, but 2.2.2 works great. (Of course, since this is all dependent on a kernel module, it may be somewhat system-specific.) 8.1 does a great job of dealing with big volumes, and 7.1 seems also to...

Just following up to say that Netatalk 2.0.3 works over DDP with 7.6... with 7.1.1... all the way down to an unenhanced Mac 512 with System 4, Finder 5.4 and AppleShare Client 1.1(booting from a 400k floppy disk with HD20 Init to support HFS). PhoneNet routed through a PowerBook 520 using...

Nope, just did an install in VMWare with the ISO of Ubuntu 8.04. I specifically held off on any downloaded updates so that I could test a baseline config. Only changes made were to the config files -- type afpd -V to see where they reside on your particular system. (I believe -transall is the...

Someone else reporting the same problem with 2.2.1 last month: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=28258710 I see the same error in my logs (Signal 11)

Not exactly a scientifically-controlled test, but I can confirm that sharing over pure AppleTalk DDP works on Netatalk 2.0.3, at least under Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron. My test client is a PowerBook 1400, Mac OS 8.1, AppleShare Client 3.7.4 on top of OpenTransport 1.3.1. I'll next test against...
