Just bought a new bike. And an Amiga 1200. The bike cost more! Wondering if I now need a QL to complete the 68k set! (Probably not!)

I don’t imagine we’ve ever gone above 220v. I think that the power sometimes drops to… well who knows, but it’s got to be pretty low when LEDs start fading and flickering. Last weekend, the lights seemed okay, but that proves nothing.

After years of faithful service (I bought it brand new), my Macintosh Color Display seems to be giving up the ghost. The tube itself still produces a bright… Well. Image is probably the wrong word. Mess. And it's just about possible to determine that the Mac is doing something in the mess...

You’re welcome. Let me know of any bugs that you find.

How odd. It works for me. But my Itch account is still young - and apparently it can take some time for it to become fully live. Maybe also it needs to be zipped up? There'll be a new upload within the week anyway. I thought it might be a good idea to have an old-skool style manual and disk...

For your gaming pleasure. The download can be found here… https://45rpmsoftware.itch.io/innecto-ii

As I work on the Apple II port, it occurs to me that a link to Itch might be useful. https://45rpmsoftware.itch.io/innecto

Not to mention their headphones, HomePod, laserprinters and what not. But if there’s no screen on it, if it isn’t easily accessible to the average enthusiast, then I don’t think it’s a rabbit hole that I want to scrabble around in!

Writing software for ancient Apples. Will anyone ever run it?

Well - that’s the danger. It will already run on Apple /// in Apple ][ compatibility mode. I’ve been careful to keep it under 48K. It will already run on A/UX because, well, Macintosh. It will also run on Lisa, because, er, MacWorks. I’ve prototyped, very roughly, an Apple 1 version, but...

I feel almost as if I’m spamming this poor forum. I hope nobody else does. But I seem to have gotten stuck in a rabbit hole - and I don’t think I can get out of it until I’ve seen where it goes. I have a game on sale for modern Apple devices, Innecto, and a new version will be coming out...

I have an LCIII+ that I bought from new and played Doom and Duke Nukem 3D on. At postage stamp sized resolution. I love that machine - but it seldom sees use these days - although it's been recapped and upgraded as far as it will go. Because… Now I also have an LC475. And, as my son would...

You have my sympathies. I think there’s an ointment you can get for that though.

Civilization. Every version. Although given that they play differently, and run on different machines, I'm not sure they count as the same software. The same concept, perhaps. It's like claiming that VW have made 37 million Golfs. The original, 1974, car is so different from the car of...

Back in the dark ages of the 1990s, before I became a full time software developer, I used to work for an Apple Centre* as their PowerBook repair geezer. I went to Apple's training centre in Uxbridge to learn how to service a PowerBook (although quite a lot of the time seemed to have been spent...

Well, if they're anything like me, maybe they are the source - I have my own floppy discs for Think C (and the manuals) - and I used my own media to install it. If my media were infected then only I could fix it. That said, I have scanned my computer - and it's all clean. And I scanned my...

It's a good idea to scan everything on your computer with the most up to date virus checker it can handle. I use Virex on my '030 and '040 Macs, and Disinfectant on my 68000 Macs. On my OS X Macs I use ClamXAV. Be paranoid. They are out to get you.
