... if the Macintosh 512K computer came with an AM/FM/SW radio built in. A coax jack on the back -- near the powerswitch -- for you to plug the included, rubbertipped telescope an…

I was afraid the speed might be an issue.

I had no idea the transfer rates were so high Click to expand... IBM PC's, even with an 8088 (wow!) used a DMA controller for floppy disk because of the data rates. You could j…

IWM in the Macintosh is similar but not identical to the Apple ][ controller. There's a / device out there that emulates a physical floppy drive and works with the Apple ][ / calle…

Incidentally, you can make your own view new posts URL that excludes other parts of the forum (or, more properly speaking, only includes certain parts of the forum) by mucking arou…

That can be simplified a bit by enabling the sub-forum search option (&sc=1) since phpBB doesn't distinguish between forums and categories – so the forums listed on the ind…

This seems to work, the major drawback being that changes to the forum may break it. Code: http://68kmla.org/forums/search.php?fid[]=1&fid[]=3&fid[]=4&a…

This is probably a "doable" project, but it's going to involve at least some hardware. (IE, I don't think you'll be able to get away with just a cable linking bare pins on the para…

You could do a really crude approach where you actually format the "disk" using the Macintosh and simply record the output signal at a suitable resolution, it's still a digital sig…

Perhaps a combination of a parallel port and a soundcard for the analogue waveform. Sounds horrendous, but it would be a good stepping stone on the way to a microcontroller based …

A floppy port is expecting to talk to spinning media with sectors and tracks and critical signalling and timing. It's expecting to receive a waveform taken directly from the read …

Try looking up information on the Apple II disk controller, then find out what the differences between that and a Mac are. If I recall correctly, they are quite similar.

The idea was that I could write a program to run on my box that takes a mac disk image, and serves it to a real mac via the parallel port through the mac's floppy port. This would…

Great score, the AppleVision 1710AV is a fine display, I've had one for about 6 years, and its probably my favourite CRT, though mine only works properly at high resolutions (1024x…

This AppleVision 1710AV display was intercepted at the local recycler for $10, and it's a real survivor. It has minimal discoloration, a near perfect screen, and it even had the o…

My Retrochallenge blog will be at: http://conceitedjerk.tripod.com/retro09.html Nothing's there yet, will have something up (likely) tomorrow! :b&w:

cool, I went to my dad's house and got his "the applesoft tutorial", which has been sitting in the same drawer since his apple //e was brand new except for a tiny wrinkle on the d…

Oh yes, I am ready to get started. I have been studying the "Programming the 6502" book which I obtained just for this project. I now know the equivalent of Applesoft's PEEK, POKE…

yea i saw that after i posted and the cheesefactory 404's cause i havent put anything there (yet) thanks

you are linked on the blog page but cheesefactory 404s i would say you are good to go!

i sent an email to enter in, how do we know if were good to go?

Competition starts in two days. Sign up... Focus... Flounder.

When will you be posting the Apple II stuff on there that you have? Click to expand... Hopefully in July or August. I need to update the Vault page, though. I've done more work…

I don't post. I just read the news on my site. See this topic: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=9839 Click to expand... Yeah I saw that thread. It looked like a simple way to check up…
