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…

On any list of dreadful Apple printers, the LW 300 will find a place... For drivers, you'll need to provide feedback about OS versions that you plan using. If you are running Syst…

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…

I'd expect any SE/Plus ROM combination to fail. The significant differences between Plus and SE are ADB and PDS, although I imagine there are tweaks around serial and sound too. P…

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…

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 ). Click to expand... You couldn'…

but it seems a little unusual to me for someone interested in "retrocomputing" to be frightened of learning gruesome technical details about how computers "in general" work....Real…

Don't take this the wrong way or anything, but it seems a little unusual to me for someone interested in "retrocomputing" to be frightened of learning gruesome technical details ab…

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. Click to expand... To do any expanding of the fu…

Cool experiment though. Now we know for sure what happens. Click to expand... Yes. It makes me wonder if there is a pin incompatibility or a software one. I should have put th…

Here's a vt100 terminal emulator that supposedly runs on a 128k Mac. Click to expand... And this is where my eyes glaze over. There is no shortage of vintage Terminal and e-mai…

Just use a terminal emulator! Click to expand... Seconded. Here's a vt100 terminal emulator that supposedly runs on a 128k Mac. There are many recipes out there to enable a tt…

Scored a personal laserwriter 300 at a church rummage sale for $5 over the weekend. I don't know if that is a good deal yet, as I have not tried it out but for $5 I figured I'd ro…

Wow, $40 is a bargain, really. I guess it's different over here (they never sold outside the US) but I paid a lot more than that for my system. Although it was more complete and i…

I will run from a 1400/2400/3400/Kanga/Wallstreet/Pismo adapter as well as from a Duo ps if that's any use.

got this monster i dug out of a box, missing lots of stuff, but i forget if the mobo was any good or not. What is the pinout of the DC jack? thanks.

Just use a terminal emulator! Alternatively you could do a cut-down IP stack with PPP and minimized POP3 client.

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…

chances are you'll just get a very unhappy frowning mac in the middle of your screen. Click to expand... Not even. No bong, just garbage on the screen.

Anybody tired SE ROMs in a Plus? Any reason not to try in terms of risking damage? There is some software that will only run on an SE. My SEs are packed away or otherwise disassemb…
