Over the past few weeks I've been working on something to share peripherals between multiple old Macs (keyboards/mice/whatever). Here's what I've come up with: This supports five ADB buses (4 computers and 1 set of peripherals) via a Pico W. I've got (very) basic ADB keyboard and mouse...

As of right now there really isn't much in the way of CD-ROM specific features. I had a prototype in development but wasn't happy enough with it to merge into the main branch. I got much more familiar with CDs during the audio playback work I did on ZuluSCSI and I think it's definitely doable to...

Version 0.5 is up, including: Fixes for bugs I discovered during testing on older systems, Minor user interface tweaks. Available here. At this point most features I want are present and I'm OK calling this the first 'beta' release (for whatever that's worth). If you try it let me know how it...

Awesome! Most of the memory changes were minor, just efforts to free up SRAM. It should (hopefully) have no obvious changes in device behavior. The only 'feature' added was a check and flash code for stack overflow, which could be a risk on the poor 64A3U if I make a mistake in the firmware...

Yup, recap is needed. You're better off doing it now before electrolyte leaks and corrosion sets in.

I'm also new at Mac programming but as I understand it you're best off using short and long explicitly instead of relying on int, and if 16 bit performance is faster use shorts whenever appropriate. The compiler may promote the types if appropriate, which is a complex subject I do not understand...

Great to hear and thank you too, that's very kind :)

Dusting off this old thread, I've just pushed a minor update to scuznet that adds support for downloading files directly off the memory card using scuzEMU. As of now it only supports downloads, not uploads or file images, and is only lightly tested. If you want to try it out, make sure to...

Lacie made external SCSI burners with Yamaha drives; those shipped with Adaptec Toast, might be worth trying out the Toast extension as well and see if that works.

Doesn't seem like it'd be pointless at all, I think the use case @LaPorta has seems quite reasonable. The way Wikipedia describes it, it might be technically doable. For sure it would require work on the emulator side to avoid clobbering the metadata and/or update it as needed. Seems like a...

It shouldn't matter as long as the file prefix matches the "hdX" syntax and the suffix isn't a known archive format. On ZuluSCSI I use .img as my normal suffix and I think that code is (more or less) identical to BlueSCSI.

I haven't personally tried it, but their wiki indicates you can mount them in 10.5 and lower if the image files end with .img. https://github.com/BlueSCSI/BlueSCSI-v2/wiki/Transferring-Files The Basilisk option is what I use with more modern systems, it works reasonably well. As an...

This would be fantastic, thank you for your ongoing effort on it!

Version 0.4 is ready! This includes: Support for uploading files to the memory card, Keyboard navigation of the list, Mode page parsing of the API version (see below), Included support for Compact Pro archives. Future versions of the toolbox API may break backwards compatibility so I've added...

This problem seems like a good match for a RP2040 with an Ethernet chip hung off it. The second core and/or PIO could handle LocalTalk's timing critical code. Like noted earlier this would probably have more horsepower than a period router solution It's also a nearly from-scratch solution...

Excellent, thank you for pointing that option out. I spent a head-scratching half hour last night trying to figure out why a function was returning only the bottom half of a long. Like here, I had a missing include. I had some choice words for why it wasn't an explicit error, explains what I was...

Looks simple, just one magic number and files with the .cpt suffix according to this reference; the other pages in there have been a gold mine of data for anyone who needs to dig into the internals of Mac archives. Thank you! To help streamline installation, I've attached a disk image that...

I'll try it out, it'll be a good excuse to explore the non-Stuffit world :)

Good idea, I'll add that format. I haven't used them much myself, is the general consensus that Compact Pro itself is the best at handling the files?

Version 0.3 is up on Github, featuring some general quality of life improvements: Automatic disk switching! No more dragging CDs to the Trash, that's handled for you: just double-click and the new disk should appear. Type/creator will be automatically assigned to downloaded files matching a...
