It seems to me that since the original 128K and 512K can run BBS software to share e-mail and files via those old networks, and later, services like FidoNet allowed those dial-up n…

I am going to making a mail server, if you want I can let some of you guys in but i need payment for hosting, but i am geting somthing together

The //e doesn't have an MMU. There are just soft switches, addresses in the $C03x range you hit to switch banks of RAM. Works the same as the Language Card on the Apple][. Click…

Anyone heard of LUnix? Unix on a C64 - page seems a bit old though. And uCLinux ideas might be helpful about getting around lack of MMU. EDIT: Doh...didn't remember that LUnix ha…

Nice. Just FYI, you won't be able to make 800k or 400k Mac floppies on that USB drive.

I came across two external drives today, first is a USB2 CD-RW from goodwill for $6. Normally they have no computer stuff, but I found it in the bottom of a bin with the original c…

At a minimum, the pinouts have to be remapped. The first 20 pins of the Disk II & Disk III seem to be identical in function, suggesting that the 6 remaining Disk III pins a…

I am pretty sure that the Disk ][ connects to a set of pins on the back of the ///.The blue port all the way on the left is where it would go. Click to expand... Um, nope. That…

I waited before I replied in case I was wrong, but I am pretty sure that the Disk ][ connects to a set of pins on the back of the ///. See this pic: http://www.digibarn.com/collec…

There is a little bit of info on the Disk III and its use on a III+ here: http://www.vintagemacworld.com/drives.html but as for the Disk II, vintage photos show Apple employees w…

I recall reading a tutorial once about converting a Disk II to use directly on an Apple III, instead of buying the more expensive Disk III mechanism. But in recent Googling, I can …

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…

isnt the GS 16 bit? Click to expand... The WDC 65816 (also: 65C816), a 16-bit microprocessor CPU developed by the Western Design Center (WDC), is an expanded and compatible suc…

yeah, but you can also write 8-bit code because the 65c816 also knows about the 65c02.

isnt the GS 16 bit?

Ah, but that would be the easy route, plus there's already GNO/ME. Click to expand... Bah, that's like MachTen or Mac06 on the Mac. Doesn't count! Targetting the GS first…

csa2p Click to expand... Took me a bit to figure out what that meant. Sounds to me like targetting the IIgs, because it has the most resources, including a built-in source…

Just as update: this discussion is being continued on csa2p. There have been 9 replies since yesterday.

Comparing a PDP-7 to a 6502 is not a bad comparison, especially when the UNIX group were using it, it was already considered obsolete.
