An old Hackintosh — #3
I thought I'd offer parts here, if anyone wants them after I find out what's working and what's not. It doesn't look bad except on the outside. I doubt anyone would pay shipping on…
HQX Files TYPE AND CREATOR — #3
.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…
Unix for 8-bit Apple — #47
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 original CRT iMac's popularity today — #16
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…
Dayna Mac Charlie - IBM on Mac, vice versa — #1
I just saw an old ad for this thing, the Mac Charlie by Dayna, from 1984/85. Whatever happened to this thing? It was expected to be released in '85 for ~$1,200 but I can't find out…
The original CRT iMac's popularity today — #15
Maybe this ebay auction will give us a better idea of the original iMacs Popularity and value.
MacOS 9.1 vs Ubuntu 9.10 — #17
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…
MacOS 9.1 vs Ubuntu 9.10 — #16
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…
iBook Dual USB Hell — #19
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 …
PPC Mac Clones — #28
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…
An old Hackintosh — #2
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.
An old Hackintosh — #1
I dug my '86 vintage Hackintosh (Yes, that's what we called 'em back then) out of the barn and took some pictures. Unfortunately, it's the worse for its years in a cardboard box wh…
iBook Dual USB Hell — #18
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…
Network Games for Apple II? — #15
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?

Right. I don't want both Apples to be trying to "talk" at the same time, or conversely…
Network Games for Apple II? — #13
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…
Network Games for Apple II? — #12
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…
Network Games for Apple II? — #11
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 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…
Network Games for Apple II? — #10
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…
Network Games for Apple II? — #9
I don't think that the cassette ports generate interrupts.

Network Games for Apple II? — #8
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…
