I am here! Thanks for posting it. I hope it helps others. I'm not so much of a forum person, but I'm on discord. Ask me anything there or masto. -andy

Sure, all that is par for course. IN my experience I used a SCSI2SD and have had no issues. My SE/30 has always had 128Mb so that wasn't ever an issue with either. So- for Mac SE/30 128MB, SCSI2SD, 50mhz 030 Acellerator, ethernet - the ROMINATOR works pretty much flawlessly on 7.5.5. -andy

Rominator in your SE/30 is the super clean way to do this. Works like a charm and can handle all the RAM you can stuff in a '30.

I'm interested and have time this week. It will make me update my BS and test on some systems. I have: 1MB plus, SE, SE/30, Q800.

Ok, this is very helpful. So having a 'live' editable text area on a window (not a dialog) is not The Way. Fair enough. It's a modern convention that we've just become accustomed to I guess. I'm going to play with a menu for the learning and to use it to launch a dialog that will allow me to...

So I've been jumping around, way ahead in the textbook- and took the time to look at the 'big' project in a few chapters- the Reminder App. I really love the 'Going thru the code line by line' portions from Mark as he really breaks this down into small parts to think about. Point is- wow, you...

Thanks- this is exaclty what I was hoping with for this collab. I'll add some logic into my massively hardcoded project!

OK for this week I was able to brute force a mock up of the main UI. Glancing ahead esp with Dialogs, I'm thinking that a dialog would be used to edit each of these fields and writing out the strings to the rsrc file will save them (the "working with dialogs chapter"). I'm looking around to how...

I have a nice vMac zip file with everything you need to run - with think C 5 installed, MAC II ROM - ready to go. Works on my Apple Silicon Mac and my Intel macpro. PM me if you want the file (170MB).

It should be good if you use v5 and not 6. I'm using 5 since if it's good enough for jcs it's good enough for me. For ThinkC 5v: Minimum Requirements: Macintosh Plus 1 MB RAM (2 MB Recommended) System 6.0 Debugger requires 2 MB RAM and MultiFinder.

Ok what is on deck for Session 2? May I suggest we watch this video and do a small GUI App? https://jcs.org/2020/10/05/demo_app In addition to some more reading in the book.

I'm waiting for some real books to come in from ebay. PDF versions are nice for quick lookups but this stuff deserves the real physical paper...

Q800s are very nice machines to restore keep. That is the fastest Mac that can run AU/X. I love these machines and while the plastics are very brittle they are peak 040 (no fancy av) tech in book.

I hope we'll be using Amend to manage our projects in this group- maybe for Workshop 2?

OK, I'm game. I'll be using Think v5 and playing along with some real hardware. I'm hoping to learn enough to build a little config app for the Fujinet - which would be used on older mac's via the Disk drive port (like a floppy emu but mount disks over the net). Two other interesting books...
