Okay, here are binaries and a write up. Have fun, let me know how it goes. I also tried it on one of the IBM RS/6000 laptops, too. The biggest trick was finding a name. I settled on Harpoom, because ANS Doom sounded too much like A-n-u-s Doom, and ...

Yeah, that sounds like the optical drive is shot. It should be okay with a DVD drive for reading.

Well, Mac users fight amongst themselves a lot less than Amiga users ...

No, any system can burn the .iso to disc, and the USB keyboard shouldn't make a difference (though avoid connecting it through a hub). Are you sure the optical drive is in working order? A few things you can try. Hold down Command-Option-O-F on the USB keyboard as you turn it on. When the Open...

Progress! Still need to do more testing, but the basics work. (The colour isn't quite right because this monitor's red gun is dying, but it's no longer a mess either.)

So I took up the challenge to port Doom to Harpoon AIX. After some feverish late night hacking on Doom Generic and a sprinkling of PowerPC assembly, it builds with the existing 4.1.5 egcs and starts up. It's playable (with bugs) on remote X but it's a big mess on the ANS 500 console, probably a...

Well, replacing the heatsink compound on my flaky WGS 9150 didn't work, and neither did installing a Peltier, so I think the caps on the 9150 are probably busted (or at least it's the next thing to do). Looking to see if anyone would be willing to pick up the job. I don't need it done in a hurry...

Saw a Holden SS on the road *stateside* the other day. My wife has still yet to give me one. (Yes, I know the Chevy SS is practically the same car, but we want a Holden.)

Damn, how is it that everyone else has an SMP card? I've had my 500 since 1998!

John, what ANS goodies are those? Also, I'd love to pick your brains about the Shiner team - see http://www.floodgap.com/retrobits/ans/ for what I have so far, including my (sadly non-functional) ESB prototype. I also know a lot of people would really love to find that Mac OS version that...

I just ran MkLinux on my 9150 when it was working (now it's flaky, but that appears to be hardware related).

Historically the blue version of the Best of The Art of Noise (all long 12" mixes) and Chris Abbott's Back in Time II were my primary long-drive go-tos. Today's long drive was with the new Q Lazzarus compilation and the soundtrack from Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Good to see you here.

There might be something under the memory daughterboard that would give you a clue. Otherwise, yeah, what Trash80 said: install it, see what TattleTech pulls out of the decl ROM.

My Mystic has a pretty good tube (though I've not done the VGA mod to it), and even it shows some degredation. They're not young machines anymore.

Not bad. Looking forward to seeing it develop!

Some screenshots might be nice.

There were, IIRC, FireWire thumb drives back in the day. They were expensive and sold poorly. Something like one of the FW Lexar CF readers will get you about as far, and those can be daisy-chained, too.

I could totally have seen myself using this. Heck, I actually do like working in Rhapsody. The only thing I don't like about it is the slightly different Charcoal font which falls in the typeface uncanny valley.

Unfortunately 68K Macs as a rule aren't good at TLS. For Crypto Ancienne, I ran into problems getting below 40MHz on any architecture: most servers just won't wait. It's really only practical (as opposed to just plain fun) on higher-tier '040s. Fortunately you control your server, so you can...
