    Color Classic power issues

    I'd like to test known voltages on several transformer output pins (or zones elsewhere) but I need to double check what pins do what first: (I'd love to have some semblance of idea about which rating each pin is supposed to give me; fattest traces should be ground, maybe?) By the time it...

    Color Classic power issues

    I recently posted a thread over at the conquests section, where I detailed my purchase of a CC1 from Yahoo Auctions Japan, which turned out to be a effectively upgraded to CCII with a LC550 logic board. It featured a cracked case thanks to the shipping and the sting out of the ordeal is greatly...

    'Boing!' demo remake on Macintosh - such fluid animation

    I came across this demo I had forgotten in some nondescript collection of graphics applications folders I had laying around. Some people in the Boston Computer Society took it upon themselves to recreate (in 1986) the 'boing!' demo from the Amiga which features a fake 3d bouncing ball animation...

    A Color Classic saga

    So........ buyee refunded both the machine ($135 CAD) and the shipping ($223) - the part that was paid by paypal appeared immediately, still waiting on the normal delay for the part that was done with my bank account. Wow. Ok. Thanks for the keyword searches, I'll check that out for the repair.

    A Color Classic saga

    Still waiting on a 1-2 week long decision for a refund claim, but I thought I'd check out if my pieces fit the cracks. I'm missing an important one. I'm considering acetone (I'll just use a nail polish remover) to try to bond those pieces together. I'd love a rundown on if it's a good/bad idea...

    A Color Classic saga

    What games do you recommend for it in 512x384 mode for starters? So far in my first tests, I launched Oregon Trail, Prince of Persia, Crystal Quest, Indiana Jones Fate of the Atlantis. I'll also pay more attention to the color supporting games in The Secret History of Mac Gaming as well.

    ResEdit and WIND resources

    Ah, Pascal, just outside the scope of my direct help. Here's the code I used in C ages ago, probably lifted from a MacTech article as well: https://mu0n.github.io/ForayInto68k/code/NoMenuBar.c.txt I suppose one could port C to Pascal by using the same addresses and ROM trap names.

    A Color Classic saga

    My knowledge of that era of mac is extremely sketchy and fragile, thanks! LC*coughcough*something

    A Color Classic saga

    After fretting over the onslaught of available color classics over at Yahoo Auctions Japan and seeing amazing prices from time to time, I attempted to nab one, fully prepared to have to put in some serious rework on the logic and possibly analog pcbs if I ever won an auction. I've read multiple...

    Capacitor list for SE/30 analog board

    Today, this thread was really useful to me as I ordered a cap kit in my attempt to make my SE a little more rock solid in its video output. Thanks!

    NuBusFPGA: HDMI on NuBus Macs

    Really cool project. I love using a RGB2HDMI on my monochrome macs and I'd be all over this if I even owned a nubus equipped mac, but I don't. I might land my hands on a working color classic soon, so I'll have to research my options to bring its video to the modern world.

    Entry to Programming

    For old school macs, I recommend these steps: -Hypercard: it'll make you aware of the graphical interface elements that need to interact with each other (ie text input box, buttons, scollbars, icons) and you'll have the keyword list in mind. You don't need to mess with the initialization of...

    How to get software on a Mac Classic?

    I just tried these steps and it worked on my end. The disk was even MSDOS formatted, but I was able to copy a mac file to it. I'm using Basilisk II 1.1 with the year stamp 1997-2008. Another alternative you can use for file transfer is HFVExplorer...

    How best to showcase classic Macs to non-believers?

    My take in 2022 is pretty much what I'd have written at the start of the this thread: Games: Dark Castle, Glider, Uninvited Software: MacPaint, Studio Session or even Cubase if you have a midi module with the adapter to connect it to serial modem/printer, VideoWorks with an animation (see the...

    How to get software on a Mac Classic?

    A FloppyEMU is: -a bit more expensive to buy -very easy to use, almost no possible snag to hit compared to BlueSCSI -slower -more humble space wise in hard disk mode, but for Classics that's alright - this means if you have ideas of grandeurs, it won't be your go to solution! I own a pair of...

    How to get software on a Mac Classic?

    I've been a PC user since the early 90's since I switched away from Macs and been using Mac emulators since 2004. This is exactly my home turf. If you have a working Mac Classic disk drive that can deal with 1.44mb disks fine: get a USB disk drive for your PC and deal with .sit files inside an...

    Ancient Art of War (1985)

    I went back down memory lane and revisited this game that I had back in the day in the halcyon years of having so few choices (a handful) of software that you would have time to turn every stone in each of them. AAoW was one of those. I was inspired to capture the gaming session straight...

    Mac Classic Quality Of Life improvements?

    depending on if you can use it for other machines, go full RaSCSI (good luck finding a rpi right now if you don't have one) and get internet access (through an emulated dayna port image) and incredibly useful storage, as well as hosted cd images. It's a bit overkill for a Classic (can it even...

    Mac-a-Mug Pro, from Shaherazam (1986-87)

    In order to promote my channel (I have no serious intentions for it, I just mostly want to capture direct video footage out of a Plus with a RGB2HDMI), I'll launch a contest of the type: post a comment in the video, subscribe and I'll do YER FACE, lucky winner :D Most portraits have taken...

    Mac-a-Mug Pro, from Shaherazam (1986-87)

    here's a 4th mugshot attempt to recreate the face of Steve (aka u/Mac84tv ), youtube channel https://youtube.com/channel/UCW-HHEyt67RhZ6q21n4p2zQ. Again, I ensured I had permission before I posted this.
