    SevenTTY — local shell + terminal + SSH for classic Mac OS

    OS 9 integrates it into the OS; OS 8 bundles Internet Config with the OS. System 7.1+ required you to find and install Internet Config yourself.

    SevenTTY — local shell + terminal + SSH for classic Mac OS

    Hmm. I found this in my cache; thought I'd posted it earlier, but it appears I didn't. I highly recommend retrofitting it for Internet Config/FileType as well, as then you automatically inherit URI and Type/Creator mappings as set in Internet Config (or later by Mac OS, which uses the...

    Innecto. Everywhere.

    Are you going to chase this to the very end, and get it running on the original Apple computer, the ///, and A/UX? :D

    Rediscovering my old obsession

    No problem! I was using Alpha to do TeX markup in 1996. Old page is archived here: https://web.archive.org/web/19990201000000/http://alpha.olm.net/ for version 7.1 from 1998. I also used it with CodeWarrior and with MacPerl; it was a single text editor that could do everything, and due to...

    SevenTTY — local shell + terminal + SSH for classic Mac OS

    Ooh... wget with transparent MacBinary and BinHex would be awesome! You could just pull stuff directly from the HyperArchive and have it ready to go! What's the memory overhead looking like for this now?

    Rediscovering my old obsession

    I was using Alpha as my primary 68k editor through the 90s; that's why it made it to the top of https://web.archive.org/web/20040216191047/http://thunder.prohosting.com/~emanon/code_abs.html back in the day. https://web.archive.org/web/20040121005619/http://alphatcl.sourceforge.net/wikit/ is...

    Rediscovering my old obsession

    My kids used an iPad 2 and a 2008 MacBook Pro in the late 2010s and early 2020s -- new enough that they could get on the Internet, old enough that they couldn't do much. Both had Mini vMac loaded to run old Mac software. It seems to have worked; they still don't use social media to this day...

    SevenTTY — local shell + terminal + SSH for classic Mac OS

    ZMODEM and YMODEM support (and I guess XMODEM) would be really useful, as would support for ScuzEMU from the command line :) I'd think SCP/SFTP support would be the next item though, as SSH already includes most of the required bits -- and then the interface used for SCP and SFTP could be...

    Powerbook Duo 280c + Accessories Maintenance

    The contact ring inside the dome should be conductive, and when pressed, should bridge the two contacts. Things to watch out for with the pen: 1: don't bridge the traces, and 2: don't get too close to the key contacts. I use a pink pearl eraser to clean the contacts -- cleaning the traces...

    MRJ 2.0 and Swing 1.x

    I have to say, you're a glutton for punishment! I tried using JDK 1.1.3 when it came out with Swing, and EVERYTHING was configured for Windows. I didn't have that problem on a SunStation, but on my 68k Mac, it was like I was fighting with Windows at every turn. I eventually gave up and used...

    iMac G3 DV 400 won't power on after taking out the metal shielding around the DVD-drive and HDD

    It has the HDD and DVD on master and slave cable select -- so you need something in the Master slot to boot; it doesn't have to be the original HDD.

    Steve and the laws of physics.. tales from Bandley 3

    Starting AFTER most of the industry had moved from polystyrene to other packaging options, I started seeing coloured polystyrene -- I've seen "red" "green" and "blue" -- in all cases, the colour must have been really concentrated originally, but comes out more as a light tint than a solid colour...

    TashKM: ADB Daisy-Chained Keyboard/Mouse Controller

    From a software perspective, you can do offset from upper left in pixels, but you still have to process resolution somehow, and I don't think that can be done without querying soft values or writing a driver that queries the hardware. Multiple screens makes that even crazier, as hardware mouse...

    multispeed accelerator maximum RAM

    I used to have the equivalent one with the plug in RAM board for the Color Classic, PDS format. Like the Performa, it removed the expansion options for SCSI, Ethernet and video. Same general layout though.

    Is there a SHA-1 verifier for classic Mac OS?

    For some reason, I never realized MacRelix was your project :) Well done on the hand coding!

    Shut Down Scheduler for System 7

    I use OkeyDokey on my system -- it auto-clicks the default button after a set amount of time. If the wrong button is the default, you can go into ResEdit and change that.

    SevenTTY — local shell + terminal + SSH for classic Mac OS

    I for one am happy you've been transparent with it; combined with the previous "I built this with AI" thread on here, it shows both extremes of how the technology can be used. If people started hiding the fact that they used a particular tool when developing something, that would be bad, IMO...

    Ambrosia Software legacy continues with Decoder Ring

    The situation is slightly trickier than it might seem -- because communication over the Internet depends (currently) on the TLS specification -- your hardware reaching out to Apple is going to be using a TLS3 cipher (totally separate from the Apple public key stored in ROM). Guess what TLS...

    Running the A/UX 3 installer under qemu (and in theory shoebill too)

    That looks great; mind if I post it to the Emaculation forums?
