    Bitcoin Mining on Mac Classic

    In my view, Haiku with AMS or MACE running in it would tick all the boxes. Assuming Haiku could be made to run on older PPC Macs as well as Intel and ARM systems.

    Assimilation Process trackball

    Shrink tubing over the roller? The problem is, if you abrade it you’re making it smaller and more uneven.

    Howto : Get MOD music INTO a resource file for PlayPRO Dev Kit

    Does opening the mod file with a hex editor, copying the content, and then pasting over the hex in the existing resource not work? I thought that’s what I did in the past.

    EBD_IPKVM - An all digital approach to Classic Mac Video Capture and Control

    That's great! Is this 1-bit only, or does it handle RGB as well?

    G4 Powermac Graphite and Silver (?) with display for 50 bucks. Fires up anyway.

    Seems to me the solution is to run leads to an external pack that mounts behind the unit. That way, if it leaks/explodes, it doesn't do so all over the internals. Bonus would be to have a little sealed plastic case it all goes in, so that when it destructs, the carnage is still contained...

    68040 mhz

    I still remember looking at the Turbo buttons incredulously and thinking "Why would I want to NOT have it in Turbo mode?" The public messaging was sometimes way too simplified back in the day.

    OEM iBook G3 "Custom Software Restore" discs

    From my faulty recollection, custom hardware configurations could be provided if the orders and renewals were large enough. So you could get an entire fleet of Macs with the same non-standard HDD and memory configuration, or with an institution proprietary card installed in all of them direct...

    Emulation: Infinite Mac

    So @mihai, are you planning to change the default all in one emulator from Mini vMac to Snow?

    How do I install Mac OS X Server 10.4 on a Mac mini 1,1 (Early 2006)?

    The main difference between Server and Client is the configuration pane that locally or remotely manages all the settings; most of the actual software is fully present on Client, it just doesn't have a front end UI to manage it. WebObjects is the obvious exception to that -- it comes as a...

    Power Macintosh PPC ROM DIMMs

    Is there generally enough physical space to add a border to the top or end of the cards? I'm just thinking that some routed throughole contacts and a JTAG programmer could allow for an "almost" original board, but with the ability to use an external programmer for the chips. Obviously...

    OEM iBook G3 "Custom Software Restore" discs

    TI sounds like Technical Institute, and Apple definitely did custom discs for research institutions.

    Would someone with a Quadra 700/900/950 be willing to test a program for me?

    Doug, by the time you're done here, your application will be the only thing people will ever need to run a hardware test (assuming they can boot to Finder)! Move over Tech Tool!

    How do I install Mac OS X Server 10.4 on a Mac mini 1,1 (Early 2006)?

    I installed Server 10.4.7 on a 2007 C2D Mini by creating an 8GB partition on the internal HD and restoring a CD image to it via target disk mode.

    68kMLA Classic Interface

    It's been years since I've used it, but I seem to recall the default fonts on MacWeb being gigantic, and I needed to dial them down in the settings? Do you have other pages where MacWeb is displaying fonts at an appropriate size?

    System 7 - Extension that shows internet connection status

    The Internet doesn't really have a concept of "being connected to the Internet" -- you can check route and quality of connection to host, and with some specialized code and hardware can query BGP tables and do large volumes of traceroutes to map existing connectivity, but that's all going to...

    Bitcoin Mining on Mac Classic

    I have to admit though, I'm enjoying reading everyone's responses. One problem with AI is that it's able to generate new content faster than humans can consume it. So people taking the time to comment on all the different angles of this "project" results in a good time capsule of thoughts on...

    System 7 - Extension that shows internet connection status

    If you're using OT, the async I/O tends to work; there's just a split-second lock-up IIRC. With MacTCP, I seem to recall some block on buff stuff going on, where you need to fill/purge the input buffer to pass control back to the system. Not so much sloppy programming as all that could be done...

    1bit games with music

    I'd love it if others would update https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1wg45xflCn8MAPvE0H4un7OmbavRNW5qlSHbeZg39Q9A/ - and adding a column for "background music" would be perfectly fine :)
