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…

To be honest: I gave up. I don't really care about this system and will be parting it and it's 600MHz brother out very soon. I busted out the 5300 and minus the Zip Drive issue …

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…

Actually from the video you posted, the corrosion does not look too bad. Certainly repairable. Of course not seeing it in person means that I don't know too much about the system.…

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

What does the metal shield touch? Maybe if it only needs to touch certain parts you could mask the rest with electrical tape and see if that works? You might also try sticking a cl…

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…

http://68kmla.org/files/ Click to expand... I find it rather amusing that the last word in that path is used in the plural! Are there no other "how to" works worthy of placement…

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.

Hello folks, I am the owner of the "sleeper Mac 128k" that Mac128 is writing about. I just joined the forum; this is my first foray into vintage Mac ownership! I haven't taken th…

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…

The Gemini Accelerators were VERY cool. Are there SIMM slots on the board? IIRC, the later '030 Geminis could address 32 MB of additional RAM as Virtual Memory on the SE and had a…

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 …

google macguivault, there is a ton of software on there including apple // ps: that is a fine looking machine Click to expand... Indeed it looks quite nice, I'm thankful that i…
