A program to create and unpack binhex ( .hqx ) files.

.HQX files are BinHex, and most archive/dearchive utilities can handle them. BinHex is a text file format converting BINary to HEXadecimal, making it easier to send a file via emai…

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 G3 iMacs will never truly become collectors items. After all, they are awfully hard to stack a hundred and twenty to a pallette. } If anything from the PPC onwards has las…

Maybe this ebay auction will give us a better idea of the original iMacs Popularity and value.

If it was a G3 iMac, I would install NetBSD. But it isn't. If I didn't already have half a dozen 9.1 machines, I would install 9.1. But the hypothetical situation has me owning …

all going well, issue two will be out at the start of May, the 1st was the plan, but we are running behind a few days. anyway, by the time we get to issue three we want to then st…

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
