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 it was a G3 iMac, I would install NetBSD. But it isn't. If I didn't already have half a dozen 9.1 machines, I would install 9.1. But the hypothetical situation has me owning …

Personally I'd go with 9.1 - being able to run Ubuntu isn't really all that special when you can easily find a PC on the side of the road that'll run the x86 version of Ubuntu (whi…

...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…

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 …

Apparently, they all STILL require foolin' around waaay more than I want to do! BLEH! Click to expand... Only the machines with Old World ROMs. Anything B&W G3/Pismo an…

As much as I love Linux, my vote goes for 9.1. I'm getting old and just want my computers to work with minimal fuss. I don't really use OS 9 for browsing on an extended basis, ju…

http://68kmla.org/wiki/C/C%2B%2B_Programming_for_68k

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…

Very nice. On a PPC using CodeWarrior (can't remember the exact version) you can definitely build 68k apps (and a few other platforms including Palm IIRC).

Thank you so much for this!! I've read both pages and I'm eagerly awaiting more!

I did the eMate-wireless trick from geektechnique and it works! Dead thread or not, suckers like myself keep reading them every now and then. Jelle

I received a reply from Otherworld Computing (on a Saturday, no less!). I'm posting it in its entirety for future reference... PowerPC 750FX and 750GX upgrades support a fea…

Yes, after a little trial and error, I had mine at full speed for both OS 9 and OSX. If OWC doesn't solve the problem, I'll get my machine out of storage later this week and check…

If you enable dynamic power management, doesn't that mean the CPU drops to half-speed when possible, as in idling while you look at a CPU speed screen? CPUD and other speed sensing…

Okay I emailed OWC's tech support. In the meantime... Metronome indicates that my bus speed is indeed set to 100MHz. I double checked my jumpers and they are correct for that sett…

I have a PowerLogix 1.1 ghz processor that's in a B&W G3. It ignored the motherboard jumper settings as far as processor speed went. I never did try changing the bus speed …

Hmm, for some reason I'm getting no quote button at the bottom of messages. Anyway, if you're getting 650 MHz when set to a 11:1 ration, then the bus speed of your B&W mus…

You can try contacting support at Powerlogix or OWC.

No dice. I moved the number one jumper to the number four position as shown here to no effect. Apple System Profiler and Metronome still report 650 MHz. TattleTech, interestingly, …

The Jumpers are most likely the problem. Switch 'em to a higher config (450) and see what happens.
