Personally I'd go with 9.1 - being able to run Ubuntu isn't really all that special when you can easily find a PC on the side of the road that'll run the x86 version of Ubuntu (whi…

Gah! That laptop is super ugly. However the Skylab sounds like it truly was the Holy Grail. "As far as Mac Prototypes go, one of the most glorious I ever saw was the Radiu…

I can't believe I missed this. Any chance of a PDF? Looks like all kinds of awesome.

If you use a software/hardware clock, you could keep track of time. Using that you could handle the following scenario: T=Time, C=Computer (1/2), A=Action Taken R=Receive new coo…

Your trying to prevent collisions during serial communications, right? Click to expand... Right. I don't want both Apples to be trying to "talk" at the same time, or conversely…

I don't know if you noticed my post earlier, but I recently purchased an apple IIe so hopefully in a little more than a week (I wish it were less) that should reach me. Really look…

Is there a reason you can't write a program that will check the cassette port and signal the SSC? Maybe the program could send data to cassette line that were indicative of the ne…

The Apple IIe doesn't have software interrupts, unfortunately, and that's my target platform. The newer models, the IIc and IIgs, do have software interrupts. I'd want to get an i…

I was proposing something along the lines of a software interrupt based on the input on the cassette line. I don't know much about the computer or whether it can handle that quickl…

I don't think that the cassette ports generate interrupts. See my blog for further details: http://macgui.com/blogs/?u=2&month=7&year=2009

Okay, that's not much of a surprise. It should be somewhat less difficult than modern games because you're screen is very low resolution and has limited color. So that's a lot less…

I can't believe the guy actually sold it for that much.

It's taking a pause. Keeping real-time games in sync on modern hardware with full networking protocols is hard enough. The whole game needs to be rewritten in assembly language an…

...and we've already got a Java VM for the Apple II, so we're all set.

The other approach is to simply virtualize the 6502. This is not as ludicrous as it sounds, but it is definitely slower. OTOH, by making stack and the virtual memory manager softwa…

Yeah? That company seems to have an index.html site and an index.php site (the one I listed), it's a little confusing. If you ever try buying some disks from them, let me know how …

They really are quite rare. But this auction was asking too much. 500$-1k$ would be too much for me, but for a complete setup a more reasonable price to ask. Consider that once the…

hm that is the same price i see everywhere, but at a lower minimum quantity, thanks

I see this is about a year old, anything new on this front? Sounds like you need software flow control written into it.

Considering the relatively open design, someone could probably make an MMU card for the Apple. Although you might only be able to effectively use memory that was only addressable …

Speaking of IPNetRouter, according to this page http://www.sustworks.com/site/news_promo.html, you can use the original version for free. Of course you'd need a 68k Mac/Powermac as…

I think Leopard on a B&W G4 is a bit adventurous for my blood. It seems to be running stable at 400mhz (using the jumper block from the original Rev. 1 board) on a clean i…

when I added a G3 500 DV to my collection... My daugther (8years old) immediatly said it will be her computer... so I think this line of imac is still attractive... (now she finds…

Yeah, definately something to look into. For now, I'm just saving the iBook as a rainy day project xx( .
