Didn't you only recently move up from dialup anyway, LCGuy?

Surely it must be acceptable. Not much different from using any other router. Having to use a period modem would be rather inconvenient.

If you use a software/hardware clock, you could keep track of time. Using that you could handle the following scenario: T=Time, C=Computer (1/2), A=Action Taken R=Receive new coo…

Your trying to prevent collisions during serial communications, right? Click to expand... Right. I don't want both Apples to be trying to "talk" at the same time, or conversely…

I don't know if you noticed my post earlier, but I recently purchased an apple IIe so hopefully in a little more than a week (I wish it were less) that should reach me. Really look…

Is there a reason you can't write a program that will check the cassette port and signal the SSC? Maybe the program could send data to cassette line that were indicative of the ne…

The Apple IIe doesn't have software interrupts, unfortunately, and that's my target platform. The newer models, the IIc and IIgs, do have software interrupts. I'd want to get an i…

I was proposing something along the lines of a software interrupt based on the input on the cassette line. I don't know much about the computer or whether it can handle that quickl…

I don't think that the cassette ports generate interrupts. See my blog for further details: http://macgui.com/blogs/?u=2&month=7&year=2009

Okay, that's not much of a surprise. It should be somewhat less difficult than modern games because you're screen is very low resolution and has limited color. So that's a lot less…

It's taking a pause. Keeping real-time games in sync on modern hardware with full networking protocols is hard enough. The whole game needs to be rewritten in assembly language an…

I see this is about a year old, anything new on this front? Sounds like you need software flow control written into it.

Speaking of IPNetRouter, according to this page http://www.sustworks.com/site/news_promo.html, you can use the original version for free. Of course you'd need a 68k Mac/Powermac as…

Yeah, definately something to look into. For now, I'm just saving the iBook as a rainy day project xx( .

Not sure if anyone else has mentioned this directly, but the early Dual USB iBooks with Rage graphics did not suffer from the GPU problems that the later Radeon models did. In fact…

I don't have access to an external HDD.. (well I do, but its over 128GB..) Click to expand... That wont matter if it is an external HDD - If it is a firewire HDD then it could …

Thanks, I was thinking the HDD. The machine acts virtually normal when booted off the 9.2.1 CD. I don't have access to an external HDD.. (well I do, but its over 128GB..) so I don'…

The machine has the basic 64MB RAM, which would be the chip soldered. Nothing has been added. Would buying a RAM stick help? Click to expand... Adding more RAM at this point is…

Well im not sure what the problem is, I think you should throw it in the garbage tonight.

Thanks for helping me with this, I'd like to get to the bottom. I've reinstalled the OS (9.2) several times, with no avail. Last time I completely reformatted it and preformed a c…

After a complete reformat and reinstall of OS 9.2.2, it still won't launch Stuffit Expander (type 3 error.. save work & restart) and it won't let me open some system files …

Anyone still have any ideas why this Mac won't open applications? After a complete reformat and reinstall of OS 9.2.2, it still won't launch Stuffit Expander (type 3 error.. save w…

I actually just ordered a CF-IDE adapter. Apparently these work very well in the 2300c. CF to SCSI would be a bit of a trick. Maybe I should look into that one for 280c owners.

Here's another idea: build a card that replaces the HDD with a CF or SD card, wifi and bluetooth... and then send me two of them for testing purposes ;-) There are cards like th…

If you ever get that working, I'd happily pay far-too-much for one, if my budget even remotely permits. (Sadly, right now, my budget for such things is ZERO.)
