In THINK Ref Viewer, in the page named "Keyboard Compatibility" you get the following advice; the cursors first appear with the Mac Plus keyboard (they are not part of the original one). Unless you program for System version before 4.1, you should stick with this above advice. You can use the...

In MSDOS, it's very easy to get a list of files with a restriction in the name, for example its suffix. dir *.txt and you can send the result to an output stream other than the screen, for example, a file dir *.txt > results.txt I already know how to use the olden Macintosh file retrieval...

The next logical blind step would be to just use Symantec THINK C 7? I don't recall dramatic differences between the 2.

There are some Macintosh time management functions that are ideal to use here. TickCount will give you 1/60th resolution timing - not perfect, but works in a pinch, especially if you suspect that your operations are relatively longer than the screen refresh rate. If you need to test bench short...

1) Interrupt functions (InsTime, Vinstall) + timing measurements 2) Offscreen graphics for moving fluid objects with CopyBits, BlockMove, or using a low-memory address for the reserved offscreen whole screen bitmap (only works with earliest compact macs) 3) Sound (square wave synth, 4-tone...

visual on the problem it hangs near the mid point during any copy of any file from any source (CD image, dsk from FloppyEMU, etc). I can't exit out of this dialog, but I can move the cursor and see it moving. This only happens on the Plus, not on any other machine (ie SE/30, etc)

I copied over the exact HDA that was working 100% in my BlueSCSI to my RaSCSI (not the first time I do something like this in the last months) and 'lo and behold, with the Apple Recovery CD, since I had a verifyable win, it mounts in RaSCSI! so: CDROM mounting tests: Mac Plus: BlueSCSI YAY...

The oregon "cd" I had comes from mac garden and is instead an .img file (inside a sit inside a bin) - I forgot about that. RaSCSI seems to pad the file just right to still treat it as a CD. Thanks to @eric for sorting this out on the Blue/RaSCSI discord server. The archive.org 600 mb hybrid...

Summary: of CD loading capabilities Mac Plus: BlueSCSI NAY.. RaSCSI NAY.. Mac SE/30: BlueSCSI NAY.. RaSCSI YAY! Mac Plus: Accumulating lists of tests on BlueSCSI: RapidCD installs in System 7.0.1, boots but silently doesn't mount CD10_Oregontrail.iso. Apple CDROM driver (patched) 5.3.1...

No matter what already made HDA file that allegedly works for mac plus, I mount it, boot with it but can't copy even small files to it. It just freezes at the midpoint. I can't bring the patched CDROM extension to @Mac84 HDA file he shared on Macintosh Garden here...

I'm trying to load a CD ROM image using RaSCSI. I don't care about special extra features such as playing a CD audio, I'm mainly after loading up a volume in a cd image format, containing Mac HFS data. Which exact driver will let me do this? Sometimes, the drivers you can find on Mac Garden...

I have seen and perused this file depot in the past: Pro: -there's a nifty 1 Gb HDA volume formatted for Mac Plus that avoids HD drivers such as LIDO, AFAIK, it uses SilverLining. Cons: -When a 1 Gb volume crashes, it can go into a "corrupted" state and never be able to boot from it again on...

Yes, but counterpoint with this to establish limits, because there are legions of people trying to push the boundaries of what is normalized these days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

anyone with an access to a modern Mac use Disk Jockey and could make me a Mac Plus friendly (ie SilverLining instead of Lido) 40 mb System 6.0.8 HDA disk, then another 7.1 40 mb HDA? I received a 2Gb version of the Mac Pack extraordinarily stuffed disk with a bootable System version that...

an idea on good sound at first, followed by bad sound: not much has to be energized at the time of the chime sound. The screen image doesn't have to come on right away. Maybe there's badly regulated/filtered power that makes its way when Finder sound clips are played. Just a thought. I can...

I appreciate the side discussion about deoxit and what should and should not be used on each type of potentiometer. I will run into that conundrum for sure one day - but it doesn't seem to be today. I know what scratchy pots feel like, but my machine doesn't suffer from it after testing them out...

You can only control the background for the red (ie, there's no Red Drive), unlike the other 2 colors.: So maybe my G2 value is at the frontier of the red not kicking in maybe? Edit- G2 did not help. Same result I got from a few months back. Source...

I followed (a few months ago when I last worked on it) the CRT adjustment utility I got for the color classic, following the maintenance guide pdf specifically for that mac, in the right order for its adjustments. But it's very possible the pots are scratchy and I should use something to...

Now that my tinkering space is coming together gradually, putting up the Color Classic is no longer such a pain with the previous limited space. I'm working on stabilizing it some more. I can fire it up and profit from somewhat balanced colors, but the red suddenly stops after a few minutes...

You're not wrong. I use a PC since 1991 and I have no problem dealing with Mac Garden .sit or .dsk files despite a transit through my PC. Stuffit expander works fine with .sit. Mini-vMac and Basilisk II work fine with .dsk files. FloppyEmu also deals with .dsk like a champ.
