You can add a new startup sound pretty much like changing the startup screen, but it's not likely your friends did this if they weren't ResEdit type hackers.

Turns out it wasn't MacBottom's disk I had; it was LoDown, the guys who copied MacBottom. Also turns out Wally Wallstreet's drive can't read half these old diskettes. :'( I'…

Apple used to brag at the time that the /// was a 16-bit machine because there was a state machine appended to the 6502 to handle 16-bit words and the data buss fetched 16 bits at …

In fact I have a perfectly functional serial MacBottom for use with a 128K, but cannot find a copy of the driver software anywhere. Click to expand... I'll look see what I've g…

I second this - hopefully we can find someone with enough spare time to scan the entire book. Click to expand... "Macintosh Hacker's Bible" is apparently available from a libr…

Like Flash and Real Audio and VideoWorks, the player program was free. The movie encoder program was for sale. So the MacMovies on a BMUG disk won't make a movie, but will play bac…

Hi trag, yes you remember right, but why anybody'd want to add ROM code to a 25-year old Mac is beyond me. In the day, we needed to add code to init our SCSI port and support the …

I'm not 100% sure I understand your point. In 1984, such a thing took hours and hours with 128K RAM, 400K discs and your Imagewriter printer with Thunderscan. Which explains why we…

As for dates, Apple sent us a prototype a few months before release. There were other developers who were seeded with prototypes much earlier. Click to expand... PICTURES

I guess I'll have to dig the old Mac out of the closet and put the 64K ROMs back in it. I was under the impression that the 1.4 drives only worked with the SWIM chips, and didn't r…

The only way to get anything like full frame video on a 68000 was to literally scan each frame of video one at a time, dither it for 1-bit, and then string them together in an anim…

It's been a while so my memory may be fuzzy, but I got my first Mac at work in Nov '83, and bought my own Mac in May '84. A bit later Apple came out with the first 3.5" Apple][ dri…
