Speaking of the waveLan driver (of which I know nothing except that it exists), what was the last version you tried? The last version available on the site is 1.08a and Mark Hoekst…

Ah.... so it's actually the paper copies before (and including?) Vol VI that are worth picking up, assuming you want to do any development for System 6 or lower? The hardware info…

I've got the opportunity to pick up the paper edition of Inside Mac vol. VI - the huge one. Click to expand... It contains all the System 7 introductions, eg process Manager, A…

Just as a whiney aside, I'd love to find PDFs of "Inside Macintosh" volumes IV and V, IV particularly. My Google-Fu has failed me miserably on those... no, wait, I'd never just Goo…

While we're on the subject: I've got the opportunity to pick up the paper edition of Inside Mac vol. VI - the huge one. Is it worth it, compared to a PDF? Yes, I do prefer to re…

I'm going to be putting some old Mac tech notes which had been posted in comp.binaries.mac on my site later this month, but there's probably all of them on Apple's site already. Th…

The second post mentioned "The device I saw looked much like a VT-100 (same form factor)" which at first I took to mean the Macintosh, but now that I am looking at some pictures of…

Speculation about an unannounced Apple product. Some things never change.

Thanks for the tip. Works perfect!

Here is my Mac 128k connected to retro-net.org using MacTerminal. It runs lynx to browse the web and I can get email using pine. Very nice free service from them. The lack of arr…

Here are a few final things: You can do file transfers back and forth from MacTerminal (I still use v 1.1) to Mac OS X with a few command line utilities (macutils) available on Ma…

it looks like it only has F keys and a numeric keypad. weird.

MacTerminal .......... The lack of arrow keys on my keyboard appears to be an issue though. Click to expand... Doesn't the keypad menu drop down to give you some?

What about a Localtalk-Ethernet adapter, like the Farallon Etherprint? Click to expand... On a 128K? No room for MacTCP.

Just as an aside, well... I was fuzing with this out of curiosity, and I never was able to make a USB serial adapter spawn a console out of /etc/ttys automatically. The oft-quoted …

Wonderful blast to the past. Sounds like a stealth recon mission. GOOD JOB!

If it ran on a 120, I'd use it. That'd give a purpose to my Newton that's sat on a shelf for the past couple of years.

The pinout is the same as all the Duos and PowerBooks that use a "stereo headphone" plug. Tip - serial data for intelligent PSU, n.c. for other PSUs Click to expand... On the D…

Basically, ANYTHING in the way of a PowerBook AC/Adapter connector manufactured after the Duos will work with the single exception of the idiotic choice Apple made for the 5300's p…

A 6.5mm stereo headphone jack will fit, but won't line up with the internal contacts. To correct this, I have heard that all you need is a small rubber grommet around the base of …
