Good gawd, $2500 in 1989, a $7000 video card

I found at least the binaries on macintoshgarden! Definitely worth a look.

I'll see what I can find! Any peek into source code would be useful, or if I can find a executable for System 7, maybe I'll figure out how to write a filter as you mentioned. Though TBH the only reason BBEdit or TeachText don't cut it is twofold: neither in system 7 know anything about...

Say more about that? I thought about BBEdit and custom syntax (BBEdit 4.5 is already 99% of what envision) but I didn't see a way to do it. I've not heard Alpha as a text editor. I see the wikipedia article and it even should have source code available somewhere (though that seems to be broken)...

What a fabulous notion! I wish I’d done something like that. They’re teens now and fighting the screen is real. Old computers are glorious in their focused constraint and lack of distraction. I consider doing actual work on my Se/30 to be almost meditative in comparison. I want to code a...

If that prince of Persia still has the manual I’d buy it. I know you can find all this stuff online but I like the box.

Really cool to see this unfold! TIL that the Macintosh Garden is accessible via Netscape… maybe it would be worth getting my SE/30 online.

Thank you for sharing the source code. The comments are fabulous and are really going to help me learn. In a past life I made a side shooter in Java but that was so long ago and I'm not familiar with the MacToolbox. This is going to be a blast… or rather a PewPew

I'd forgotten that perhaps the version matters… :P I'll get 7.1 running on my SE/30 and vMac and use 5.5 to see if that helps, can't wait to try it out! Would you be able to share on Github? I want to write a markdown editor for my own use and will share eventually.

This is just the kind of stuff I was hoping to see, someone writing software just for funsies! I can't seem to unstuff the archive, though. I run into this issue a lot with vMac — I'm using StuffIt Deluxe 3, does the version even matter? I'd love to see the source code as I want to jump into...

Wow playable or not, this is really impressive, and I learned a few things from the whole discussion.

There was a fair bit of gunk on the board, maybe mostly dust, but I've gathered it wise to recap anything more than ~20 years old from the forums. Either way, It was easy to source them with the help of Console5.com. The only caps I didn't replace are the tantalums and the ones on the CPU board...

After I pulled one of the pads I wasn't sure if I could bring this dusty beast back to life… but I bodged a tiny wire to the copper lead and it chimed after a full recap!

FWIW I came into all this Mac resurrection just a few months ago knowing little to nothing, got super afraid of offing myself with voltage but took all the precautions I could, following the alligator clip disharge every single time I unplug. And now I work back there like I'm cleaning a fish...

Wow. Now I see what you really want to be working on! Awesome stuff.

wow, TIL! I pulled mine from an Asante Maccon, somehow NIB still sealed. Also didn’t know it could be used elsewhere.

I heard from zigzagjoe he’s not making any more but it sounds like bolle is still at it…

I joined the party too late, it seems. I'd really like to pick up one of these but it appears that the two makers have moved on. Registering my interest here all the same, in case more show up.

Indeed. It’s a fancy 7

Glad I could confirm the compatibility! I picked up a red 7 with an interesting typeface.
