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 …

the gen nex is a marvelous looking piece of kit though

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…

The PDP-7 was an 18-bit machine. Has a "real Unix" ever been developed for any 8- or 16-bit machine? Doesn't seem a big stretch to run in 16 bits. Click to expand... The orig…

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.

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…

I would appreciate seeing a photo of this sticker residue.

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

Try Goo Be Gone or some other glue remover. Adhesive will keep any whitening chemical from hitting the plastic.

My old Mac SE, which I just finished de-yellowing, has a sticker stain. The sticker itself was from an aftermarket computer upgrades store, and the majority of it was transparent. …

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.

I think you might be underestimating the requirements for a UNIX like OS. An 8Mhz 68000 struggles, so how a 6502 is supposed to cope I'm not sure. Click to expand... Is it more…

Might want to investigate Minix. It's designed for teaching OS design, so even if a porting effort failed, it would be an educational fail . It is to some extent unix-like. …

OK, maybe I'm just talking to myself by now, but I found this site in Linux Journal magazine: http://www.freertos.org/ There's no port for the 6502/Apple yet, but I'm going to tak…

I read quite a few Usenet posts last evening on this subject, most from the late 80's. It looks like co-operative multitasking is going to be the way to go, unless one can get a ca…
