Mac 128K, BBS & The Internet? — #7
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.

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

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…

Unix for 8-bit Apple — #43
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.

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…

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.

yeah, but you can also write 8-bit code because the 65c816 also knows about the 65c02.
