    IIfx | IINTX 64-pin SIMMs

    Hopefully I don't annoy anybody since I can't answer directly to your questions. But I have worked with/on IIfxes in the early 1990s. I always prefer original sources, which means Apple in this case. Apple's Memory Guide: https://www.macintoshrepository.org/24780-apple-memory-guide states (p...

    Need advice on software for a Macintosh LC original

    I have to correct myself. Memory tends to make the past better then it was. For example here the refresh rate of the original Apple High-Resolution RGB Monitor and related displays at 640x480. The original specs sheet reads: Scan rates: 35.0 kilohertz horizontal, 66.7 hertz vertical Original...

    Need advice on software for a Macintosh LC original

    I don't know about the specs of the LCs VRAM SIMMs, but I wouldn't expect that a 512k from a LC III or later would work on an LC/LCII. Back in the early 1990s I bought a specific LC 512 kB VRAM SIMM and it works, giving 256 colors/grays on 640x480 or "Thousands" on 512/560x384. The video on...

    Will this RAM work in a Classic II?

    This is now decades since the last time I bought RAM for a 68k Mac, but I never bought 9-chip SIMMs, since Macs do not use the parity bit, so need only 8-chip configurations. But the reliable Jag's House website at https://www.jagshouse.com/ram_guide.html says, that the parity-chip is just...

    NEW GAME for 68k based Macs - VergeWorld: Icarus

    Your demo looks very promising. Some thoughts: A monochrome variant for the original 68000 is a completely different beast than colour games for the later models. However considering the original Flight Sim ran on an Apple II a game like yours is surely doable on a 68000. The demo seems to...
