The instructions show up in MiniVNC when you run it.

Timbuktu works flawlessly on everything from a Mac Plus through to something that can run 32-bit Intel binaries -- so everything up to macOS 10.14. If you don't have a device in that range, it also functions flawlessly in an emulator. If you want to go the MiniVNC direction...

The display appears to be a Goldstar-built 14" shadow-mask CRT. These types of monitors were generally using the 1.8-gamma color space. The choices you list are all incorrect; most are for non-Mac devices, with the Trinitron being the exception -- but your display is NOT a Trinitron display...

That was one thing I really appreciated when I eventually changed companies :D I got to deal with other people's bodges and left mine to other people to clean up!

Funny thing about that line: long haul trucking was one of the first industries impacted by AI. But yeah; the barrier to entry has always been there. The problem (as I see it) is that you graduate with your shiny CS degree, and are looking to do something transformative in the computer design...

The TP-Link Archer AX series runs a bog standard Linux kernel under the hood, with DDP properly handled at the kernel level. But as @NJRoadfan says, depending on the configuration, the router OS could still be mishandling certain packet types.

Ever tried HyperCard? I did a 2D top-down game in HyperCard in 1989. Once I figured out the techniques, it wasn't very difficult. You can even manage open world if you want, by programmatically generating the terrain, loading in sprites dynamically.

I don't think Snow does NuBus either; MAME's the best bet, although QEMU also supports NuBus.

Do you have access to another Mac with Firewire? My solution with an iMac DV SE (slot loading) was a Firewire connection to my Mini, from which I was able to partition the internal drive and restore the install DVD to the partition. Hold down option to select boot partition, run the...

Anyone other than me still have a bunch of Deluxe Music Construction Set files kicking around? The only annoyance for me there is that I don't have the Korg synth I used to use around anymore, so there's no replicating the exact results. I've also still got Aldus SuperPaint files, but those...

Hah! I remember trying to get some electronics (with a slot) through the FCC process in the late 90s, same issue. For the test piece, we wrapped it in copper, but for the production pieces, we did the same thing with coballoy. Amazing how many problems "slot antennas" can cause.

Now you've got my mind whirring; I encountered that at university too; the labs used it to boot from a basic boot floppy to a netboot volume. You'd pop in the disk, it'd do the boot and reboot, and eject the floppy which was then shoved into the next Mac in the line, to get them all to a...

Hmm... does FWB CD Toolkit do block copies? I haven't used it in 30 years now, so forget. I do remember it was less featured than HD Toolkit. LaCie also had a CD burning program IIRC, as did Astarte.

There's two different enablers: one for 7.5.0 and up, and one for 7.1 and up. If you copy the resources directly into the System file, it also boots System 7.0 and up. On a PPC Mac. That's because the CHRP ROM includes the ability to do full 68k emulation at the OS level, so fully 68k OSes...

So at that layer, do you side-step the audio FPU issues altogether? I'm curious how portable that approach would be to non cycle-exact emulators.

Here's a question: NDIF supports raw image files. Which means that, at least theoretically, if you can write something into NDIF format, Disk Copy should be able to write it out to disk. The problem currently is that Disk Copy tries to be "intelligent" about how it images a disk into NDIF...

Never remembered, but vaguely do recall something to do with a bad SIMM slot contact (or possibly trace). I think that's all I've got; I haven't thought about that in a good 32 years. But limiting your search to things that could affect the top nybble might bring you closer to the solution...

Hmm... with the backporting of HFS+ as low as System 7.1, I wonder if we could use a similar approach to backport UDF and DVD support? This, of course, would only work for PPC Macs, unless Mac OS 8.1 actually has full 68k support (which would be awesome if true). Has anyone looked into this...

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.
