I do have 4mb of ram.
I am quite uneducated on programming these old macs and am having second thoughts on taking this route.
I am however a backend web developer. Are there any better web browsers that would run on those specs aside from MacWeb? Looking for something with more HTML and...
Very odd... the binaries produced give the same error the RB binaries do.
To clear things up, here is my setup:
Dev environment: iBook g3 with os 9.2.2
Target machine: Macintosh Classic with 7.5.5
So it appears RB creates binaries that need CFM68K and will not do anything else.... That rules it out simply because the built apps won't run on my old machines (specifically my Macintosh Classic, which is my main internet machine). My PB160 needs a recap to be fully useful, and I'd rather...
I wonder if you could expand on this a little more. I am not familiar with programming in RealBasic (or any 68k mac programming), Does RealBasic itself have any networking capabilities that interact with MacTCP?
Well, it was a nice idea anyways.
Both VisualMSB and RealBasic produce binaries that give address errors on both my macs. One running the latest 7.5.5.
Just gives "address error" and forces it to restart... Not sure why, it runs fine on my iBook G3 on OS9
Hello!
I am pondering creating my own chat app for old 68k macs. I've done many different chat apps before, for many different platforms. I've discovered Visual MacStandardBasic which appears to be the easiest way to create gui applications for 68k macs. I'm wondering if it has any networking...

If one of your goals is to just connect to the internet (which it may not be), you can do it much easier using serial. I created an updated guide on doing that. I'm sure it could be somewhat useful at least:
I've been lurking on the development of this... This is a really neat project!
What are the bottom 4 icons for? What state do those serve that the top don't? Or is that just for low res or 1 bit displays?
A good friend of mine is giving away some old apple merch that he was ready to get rid of.
I'll be getting:
a lampshade iMac G4
A book from 1990: "Inside AppleTalk second edition"
Two books from 1994: "Inside Macintosh: Networking" and "Inside Macintosh: Devices"
And a book from 1991...
