I still have no way to bridge the output from MacTerminal to the Internet and vice/versa. Which was the whole point.

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…
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.

To do any expanding of the funcationalilty of the 128k like you describe you are going to have to do real programming ( Pascal, C or assembler ).

For many non-UNIX users on this forum, these kinds of projects usually die a quick death since it involves some advanced configuration of tools which are not familiar to most Mac u…
For me, it's about expanding the functionality of a 128K (and bragging rights)......it's a fun idea that's beyond my skill set.

Here's a vt100 terminal emulator that supposedly runs on a 128k Mac.

Just use a terminal emulator!

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…
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][.

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.

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.

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 ///.

There is a little bit of info on the Disk III and its use on a III+ here:

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…
