Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet? — #12

I still have no way to bridge the output from MacTerminal to the Internet and vice/versa. Which was the whole point. Click to expand... I thought you had a Mac OS X box in betw…

Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet? — #11

I'd love it if there was a KIP/MacIP based package that you could use on a Mac 512K (no, a 128K will never cut it) to access a Unix box. I've tried it, and I have exchanged mail wi…

Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet? — #10

The way I read it you wanted the 128k to do SLIP or PPP. Both can be done, but you have to basically duplicate the functionality of MacTCP in a small memory space. Click to expa…

Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet? — #1

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…

Disk II & Disk III — #5

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…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #39

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…
