    CodeWarrior MacSSL - A port of Mbed-TLS for the Classic Macintosh OS 7/8/9

    This is a very nice effort, though it's worth noting the readme implies it doesn't support TLS 1.2 yet (just 1.1). It shouldn't take a great deal to add that. TLS 1.3 will be a heavier lift, though.

    CodeWarrior MacLynx beta 6: back to the Power Mac

    I've ported my fork of MacLynx (itself a fork of Lynx 2.7.1) back to the Power Mac with all the enhancements intact, including GUI support (menus, scrolling and Standard File package) and UTF-8 translation. This version also fixes problems with cookies and various bugs. The Power Mac build is...

    powebook 1400c freezes when I have an HDI-30 cable plugged in

    Yeah, don't do that. Have it all plugged in before you power on. Also make sure you have the bus correctly terminated.

    A (mostly) successful IIsi restoration

    Ah, then, I'll wait and see on that. Good to see they're getting upstreamed. Thank you :)

    DEC Professional 380

    Got around to upgrading my DEC Pro 380 (an incompatible desktop PDP-11) with an MFM emulator and a full 1MB of memory. It runs PRO/VENIX, the only official Unix option. It's going to be a lot of fun hacking on this thing in the future. Pictures and guts in the blog entry...

    A (mostly) successful IIsi restoration

    Where is this MacOS driver? What patching did you need to do, just change the ID?

    Macintosh IIfx nostalgia

    Every time a IIfx boots, an angel gets their wings. Or something like that.

    List of LocalTalk games?

    Doom and Doom II, but you'll need a patch for later versions of Mac OS, and I don't know how laggy it would be on LocalTalk. Bolo and Marathon, natch.

    This came into my life this week

    Nice! Those antediluvian systems can sometimes be the most satisfying to restore.

    Workgroup Server 9150 Freezes Without Additional Cooling - Can anyone check their WGS VR temps?

    Well, I think my 9150/80 is running into heating issues also (random quits and system errors after a few minutes of uptime). RAM repeatedly tested good. The heat grease had indeed turned into heat not-grease, but a not overly generous application of new compound only made it marginally better. I...

    What I've received as of late...

    I'm rather fond of the 7100 since I used one to edit the university newspaper as a grad student until I talked the dean of students into buying a brand spanking new Sawtooth G4/450. I managed to get it from surplus and stuck an HPV card, a G3, max RAM and a better CD-ROM in it. Naturally I call...

    G5 pro. Chime, no display

    Depending on the G5 model, there are also diagnostic LEDs on the logic board towards the front that could be helpful.

    Blackbird PDS expansion cards?

    Only if you install the PC Card Cage, which was an option. My own 540c doesn't have one.

    Blackbird PDS expansion cards?

    Seems like just making more of the PCMCIA card cages would be more useful in the long run, I should think.

    Managing your collections

    What *I* need is something to keep track of all the damn cables and what I actually have in stock.

    SheepShaver and BasiliskII building for BeOS

    I was able to build at least portions of this on my BeBox with BeOS 5.0.3, but you can get a full build of SheepShaver and several versions of BasiliskII from gopher://gopher.floodgap.com/1/archive/be-power - it's in the emu/ folder. If you have a lot of RAM and SheepShaver or BasiliskII...

    Cleaning up Family Apple "Collection"

    It's a Rage Orion, which is a Mac-specific Rage 128GL. Not a monster video card but not a slouch. I agree with Nycturne: I wonder if something else is going wrong. G4s aren't in general toasty chips. Have you been able to get any sort of temperature reading off it?
