Thank you! black friday approaches, a 3d printer is in my future.

Not to be a noob derailing this thread, but is it possible to print this on a smaller printer? Like a 256mm print bed?

I don't even have a 3D printer, but i have been watching this thread as it looks so good. Well done on your continued updates (the launcher looks excellent). This feels like justification for a 3d printer...

Well that answers that question. Thank you!

This is one of those software projects that may be useful only to me, but I thought I'd share if there's interest. This is an extension (INIT) that allows read-only access to HFS+ formatted volumes on System 7.5. I have tested on 7.5.5 and 7.5.3. I don't believe 7.1 or 7 will work as it lacks...

I "wrote" a Palm app over the weekend with claude code. I put that in quotes as I was just giving instructions. My C experience is minimal, my Palm dev experience is zero. As a software dev, I've always been interested in retro development, but sitting down to learn something I'm not that...

I did NOT expect to come across a massive solar cooker in the middle of a hard drive discussion! 😄

These kind of posts are what makes the forum here. I love your tenacity, the detail and best of all the success at the end.

Nice work, I love projects like this! Got any more pics?

I always enjoy a good giant stash of old Macs. Good on you for being willing to take it on!

Mac OS 9 requires a powerpc processor. Mac OS 8.1 is the last to run on a 68k-based hardware. The 575 never ran 9 unless you had a PowerPC upgrade card.

You're not version-capped at 7.1/7.5, with a little light ResEdit work you can run up to 8.1, which is what I run in my mystic color classic, purely for ease of access to HFS+ formatted drives. See 2.1.3 here: https://colourclassicfaq.com/mobo/mystic.shtml

Don't forget David Pogue's 'Hard Drive' novel, featuring lots of Macs. Not technical (being a novel and all) but still relevant subject matter.

This is fantastic. Congrats.

SHINY! Nice work!
