Using a period modem would be the least of your problems. Good luck trying to find a dial-up provider, much less know whether or not your modem will work with their service. Not on…

Yeah, back in November...it had to happen eventually. And hopefully soon I'll get a job and move out, so I can make the final move from 3G to ADSL.

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.

Any idea when Part 3 will be online?

A program to create and unpack binhex ( .hqx ) files.

.HQX files are BinHex, and most archive/dearchive utilities can handle them. BinHex is a text file format converting BINary to HEXadecimal, making it easier to send a file via emai…

No, it was 16bit but could address 256Mb of memory with 18 address lines. A 6502 has 16 address lines but that doesn't make it a 16bit computer. If you went by that argument an 808…

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…

...and we've already got a Java VM for the Apple II, so we're all set.

The other approach is to simply virtualize the 6502. This is not as ludicrous as it sounds, but it is definitely slower. OTOH, by making stack and the virtual memory manager softwa…

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

Considering the relatively open design, someone could probably make an MMU card for the Apple. Although you might only be able to effectively use memory that was only addressable …

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…

I added a basic 68k programming guide to the wiki. Click to expand... Got a link?

If there are any tips on targeting specific CPUs, e.g. how to make use of '040 features with or without leaving out '030 machines, that could be interesting as well. I'm more inte…
