Just for funsies, here are the results when I use a x86 system-on-module from ICOP, the Vortex86DX running at 800 MHz (warning, this is not matching a 800 MHz cpu; the closest equivalent in processor power is more akin to pentium 2 233 MHz) in my WeeCee ibm: 100 = 0.00 1000 = 0.05 3000 = .33...

I'm sorry to have caused confusion with the markings of my screenshots. Here's why they happened: I took photos with my phone. The photos synced up in Google photos after a short delay. I took lower res partial screen caps of them before I pasted them in this thread. This causes me to catch the...

I don't understand your post. I've posted 6 screenshots, all ordered as I wrote in the text part. Screenshot 1: pi-ibmpc for 100 and 1000 Screenshot 2: pi-ibmpc for 3000 Screenshot 3: pi-pc386 for 100 and 1000 Screenshot 4: pi-pc386 for 3000 Screenshot 5: pi-pc486 for 100 and 1000 Screenshot 6...

All my tests were done on the same machine. What program do you recommend to check the processor id? Can you provide a link to it? It's just a normal Intel 486 dx2/66. All tests were performed on a compact flash card (512 mb), booted by a real 320mb hard disk (on drive C) containing mdsos 6.22.

The pc-ibm version may seem faster but it starts with this strange V180 and I don't recognize the sequence of decimals afterwards.

@Vol , here you go Results from my 486 IBM 425 SX/S ValuePoint (no L2 cache; but upgraded to a 486 DX2/66 cpu) with 32 mb RAM and MS-DOS 6.22 Results in text format: pi-ibmpc: 100 digits = 0.00 1000 digits = 0.55 3000 digits = 4.61 pi-pc386: 100 digits = 0.00 1000 digits = 0.55 3000 digits...

Can a mod move out this interesting discussion on video wrangling in a new thread? it feels like it deserves its own, easily searchable thread.

You could VIOLENTLY overwhelm parts of the motherboard SO MUCH, that the electromagnetic reaction in the analog board is just so... although some permanent damage may occur.

Resedit is excellent to make your resources, it's what I'm familiar with since the 90's. And I'm fond of resorcerer to poke around code in hex format and read data files that way, with strong search features. Porque no los dos?

Possibly. I'm not the best one to answer after only having done baby steps in the world of INIT programming but if I was a betting man, it would be to set up those "patches" it the base toolbox routines of the ROM to run your hacky code.

I highly recommend not sticking to any single book. We have access to many, MANY sources of material: Mactech articles: http://preserve.mactech.com/articles/index.php Treasure troves of programming book PDFs: https://vintageapple.org/macprogramming/ Inside Mac (old)...

The difference between every week or every other week might make a huge difference for me, but ofc I'm in!

and I got a new special boot disk out of it: You can try it out yourself here, on Macintosh Garden: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/init-fakes-a-windows-95-startup file 1 is a .sit archive that can be used in a real machine, just drop its content to your System Folder file 2 is a DSK file...

Crossposting from another thread, this is a list of my ongoing goals: Black and white compact macs targetting mostly 512x342 in 1-bit color depth field BUT -must not crash if a more recent machine is used -System 7.5.5 is the most recent that I target -When possible and not too feature rich...

I'd love a PC version of this. I'd live with no GUI at all and it running in pure MSDOS6.22. As it stands, I must bug a modern Mac owner to build images for me and must wait normal business hours to bug them (just kidding.............orami)

I used it ALL THE TIME (iirc) way before System 6 back in the day. I still use it to this day; make a face in mac-a-mug, screen cap it, continue in MacPaint

I'm pretty set on a specific era of retro Mac programming. Black and white compact macs targetting mostly 512x342 in 1-bit color depth field BUT -must not crash if a more recent machine is used -System 7.5.5 is the most recent that I target -When possible and not too feature rich, System 1.1...

I watched the video and it was near the end in your thanks section, mostly (maybe elsewhere as well). So, it seems like you needed something resembling a button activated slide pusher for giving talks, but of course you're activating it in post while still displaying the image as faithfully in...

a MacPaint file is: a 512 bytes header; then packed data that is dealt with the Mac ROM trap UnpackBits and it unpacks into rows of 72 bytes (so 576 b&w 1-bit pixels), which is larger than the screen estate, and up to 720 lines of it (way longer than the 342 lines of the target machine). I...
