I'm pretty sure FutureBASIC 2 can access the serial ports. It's free, so no harm trying it out.

RS-422 is basically just higher-speed RS-232. It can be programmed just like RS-232 for basic serial communication. The two big differences are in speed, and speed control. A 165…

Really? If the Mac didn't have a programming language then how was it programmed? Click to expand... I believe the original development system for the Mac was in Pascal, but t…

Geo, Glad to see you're getting some questions answered! Speaking of writing software. Dos systems usually had a simple programming langauge called "BASIC". Did the Mac …

Where did one originally obtain the software? Was it on an Apple CD?

Unfortunately it seems to be a rare bread. If anyone might have a source could the PM me.

No. If you use a non-Apple hard drive, then you need to use a non-Apple utility to format the hard drive. Or the hacked Apple utility. So, Apple hard drive: use the Apple ut…

Hello Trag, The most common failure we're currently reading about in the forums for the SE/30 is leaking electrolytic capacitors on the logic board causing what is termed si…

effort! sweat! blood! tears!! but response so far suggests an issue two would go down well. baby steps....

Both iCab and Netscape 4.0 will work on DeviantArt. I have accessed it via my LC475 in the past. It ain't pretty and it ain't fast, but it's better than a kick in the nuts. Just…

After my initial searches for the classic style Macs, it seems that one model, the SE/30 comes to the forefront because of the 68030 processor and 128meg upgradability for the RAM.…

Hello all, I am looking into getting a classic Mac to just 'play around' with in terms of games and I/O control. I never had a Mac before and I want something that is small and p…

No sweat. I really appreciate this. As for versions, I think System 4.1 was the last version to support the 512k M0001, am I right? Whatever is supported will be cool. Thanks aga…

No misunderstanding with me. However some people bristle at the idea of paying for these things when most of us are willing to donate what is essentially a very inexpensive item fo…

My experience is that digital boards rarely fail, and a classic Mac that doesn't boot nearly always has analog problems. Click to expand... All of the dead 128k digital boards …
