He left this forum a few years ago, I think. c

The lengths some people will go to.... c

Ouch! I'd been wondering where you've been. Now I know! c

Well, there are indirect solutions, since ADC is basically a fancy DVI port with Apple-specific features. So, you could, for example, convert ADC->DVI and THEN convert DVI->HDMI. Are you sure that's not DVI->ADC? There's an Apple adapter that can convert an ADC-equipped display to accept...

Neat! Did you actually participate in the development of what became the Raspberry Pi, or was it basically a blatant ripoff of your board's form factor?? c

Has anyone actually tried booting System 7 on a G5?!?! I would think that the architecture of the G5 is different enough that nothing before Mac OS X will work? c

It might not be feasible with what you have in mind, but maybe it would gain a wider audience if it could run on modern platforms? c

@olePigeon Your Bitcoin explanation is by far one of the most sensible ones I've seen! I like it! c

You may have landed on one of the relatively few genuinely helpful uses I can think of for LLMs. I'd be lying if I didn't say I wasn't just a tiny bit curious, but I'm a Luddite who looks at this newfangled technology (and the companies behind it) very distrustfully, and I don't want to give...

I've been working on revamping my stream, and at this point, I think I might as well just post it and hope for the best. Given the Lounge is only viewable by registered users, it ought to be safe enough as long as y'all don't go around spreading it everywhere. You can find it in the Lounge...

Huh, OK. I'll try that. I tried the Finder from 7.6.1, and it didn't work either, probably because it's too new. c

I actually did! Alas, like everyone else they only go up to 4.0, which is the latest available version. After 10 years, I've pretty much lost interest in using my RTMac on anything newer than what driver 4.0 supports (I might try using it on Mac OS 9 for the novelty), but I was recently...

10 years later, I try searching again, thinking maybe someone would've found and posted MatroxRTMac4.1.img.sitx by now, but no! The search still leads me back here! The search continues.... c

I tried booting System 7.1.2 om my Pismo today. To my amazement, it actually did boot, but the Finder won't load, so it's not very useful. But it basically works, so the Finder is probably fixable! c

It would be! When that article was written (not sure when, but probably early-mid 2000s), 3D printing wasn't available, but now it is, so a custom LC-style case could conceivably be created from scratch without sacrificing an existing machine, as the writer of the article did. I don't have the...

I remember reading an article years ago about an iMac ATX conversion that was hacked into a Mac II enclosure. Do you have similar plans (putting the thing into a pretty and tidy box, basically) or do you intend to leave it bare for testing and experimentation? c

That stinks! I may have a 366 MHz iBook motherboard somewhere, but the connector for the display backlight is broken with a torn up trace or two. I suppose if that could be repaired, it could work (it was fine otherwise, and I could see normal things when I shined a flashlight at the display)...

Ah, I see. Well, at least it's interesting (especially in the early years, Apple had some pretty whimsical naming practices). I don't find the industry's current naming conventions to be particularly exciting. I've heard that term ("giblets") used to describe random leftover turkey innards...

I think 'gbly's are basically the designated resource type for system enablers. Why Apple chose 'gbly' is beyond me, however. How does one go about creating an enabler? Can one simply take an existing one, strip it of any unneeded resources, copy in the HFS+ stuff in the right places, and...

I see. That makes sense. However, it won't harm them now to develop the HFS+ patch into a backwards-compatible enabler, so hopefully it can be done, especially since copy-pasting things in ResEdit is kind of tedious and error-prone, especially for beginners. c
