This looks TOP NOTCH @Drake . Are your shelves 40 cm (which is necessary if you want to integrate a cabinet inside the frame) deep or 55 cm ( which is necessary for a compact mac + keyboard + clearance in the back for scsi cables)?
Which shelves + support did you use?
I might add a drawer at...
I've been thinking about doing a reorganizing of a corner of my basement for a while. If I don't do it, this is the kind of thing that happens and drives my girlfriend and kids nuts (well, not so much the kids, for now...). Every piece of equipment is brought from various places from the...
it looks SO GOOD @Crutch
Meanwhile, I completely firebombed my v2 by trying to use an offscreen GrafPort. I had old code from 2005 on it with some personal library files with routines to set them up. I can't explain why not only do they not work, but I can't even do a simple DrawString in a...
This implies 3d objects, either one for each letter or manipulating a flat texture on a slanted 3d slate. This is an order of magnitude above my skills ATM. Someone can feel free to be motivated and go all the way with quickdraw 3d or whatever that's used on macs.

I just started a small project for fun, it imitates a movie crawl.
Here's the state of it after 2 hours:
-Will set up a compact mac sized centered area of 512x342 where the action happens, on a black background (works regardless of the...
Contains lots of workflow related tips, they walk you through steps that are specific to the very same THINK C version from this resource article here on Tinker Different.

Ok, I successfully installed 7.0.1 on a virtual volume.
THINK C opens up but wants 4 mb of RAM preferably. But it seems to go well, you should have no difficulty.
I tried VERY HARD to make a new volume with a fresh System 7.0.1 installation in Basilisk using the Apple recovery CD, but it's asking to insert the Fonts disk at the end, even though it's mounted right there, just like all the other install disks. The dialog is modal and I can't quit out of it...
I just created a new article based on Symantec THINK C development. If you have any interest in programming C and want to target System 7 Macs, all the way down to the first System version, this is a good way to get a jump start on that. The coding environment (emulated or real machine) that you...
Ok, so Basilisk II mounts a .toast right away. Check this out!
oh yeah, I must have gotten it here (Mac Garden): https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mactech-vol-1-12
This can help you get quickly set up for Macintosh C programming, targeting a wide range of macs (System 7.5.5 all the way down to the earliest macs around System 1).
The included resources are:
The compiler/linker/builder of choice is Symantec THINK C v6.0.
Resource editor done with ResEdit...
I'm making a resource that combines several of my posts atm
The new article is here:

now, to remember how I dealt with a .toast file in the past.
can anyone easily convert it to .iso file (that can be mounted in RaSCSI or basilisk...
I will update my website (see signature) foray into 68k to make these more easily available, but here are the direct links:
30 Mb HDA file (BlueSCSI, RaSCSI, Basilisk II):

30 Mb HFV file (Basilisk II, mini-vMac)...
Thanks to @retr01 , I just prepared my starter dev HDA. I think I won't bother with a HFV volume since basilisk II can easily deal with it. So can mini-vMac. scratch that - it doesn't open at all in mini-vMac, it asks to initialize it (sys 6.0.8 and 7.5.3) so I'll have to make a HFV as well...
I'd like to make some resources available for all:
I can make: a 30 mb HFV file containing Symantec THINK C v6.0, THINK Reference Viewer, Popfuncs, ResEdit and Resorcerer
I can't make: a HDA file of the same
HFV: runs well on emulators such as Basilisk II (recommend) and mini-vMac (don't...

Cygwin...yeah, not touching that.
And I say this as someone who learned how to use git on the fly back in 2017, has more than 100k lines of code in a java project repository that I've come to lead. Just learning the intricacies of the vintage Mac toolbox is already a...
