    Bringing 9.x extensions back to 8.6 (including Radeon 9200 drivers!)

    That's ... a bit of an oversimplification. For 9.0 and 9.0.4 that was probably true (especially if you consider CarbonLib "OS X junk"), but 9.1 is actually technically different under the hood (requires an MMU, for one thing, which is why SheepShaver can't run it). It would be more accurate to...

    Hiding "dot" files in Classic?

    I look forward to the source code! That sounds like a clever solution.

    Mac OS System Identifiers discussion thread

    Patch the system without modifying the system file? Absolutely. You can alter the vectors in RAM, for example.

    IIgs Expansion Card Recommendations

    My GS has a TransWarp, an AI InnerDrive and a GG Labs 8MB RAM card. Thinking about a proper SCSI card or network, though. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2020/11/not-refurb-weekend-apple-iigs.html https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2021/02/the-quest-for-wolfenstein-3d-music-on.html

    The KIM-1 that sounds like Stephen Hawking

    The KIM-1 was the first 6502-based computer, with 1K (actually 1152 bytes) of RAM and a 1MHz clock speed. It has serial routines, but the DECtalk Express it's connected to as a speech synthesizer (using Perfect Paul, which famously was the basis for Professor Hawking's voice) only talks at...

    Radeon 9200 PCI card issues in Beige Power Macintosh G3 w/OS 9.2.2

    Probably the best approach, but what about the card wasn't working with the 8500 extension not loaded?

    Radeon 9200 PCI card issues in Beige Power Macintosh G3 w/OS 9.2.2

    It looks like you have all the necessary extensions. While the 8500 extension shouldn't make you crash, you can just disable it and the card should still work fine.

    Crypto Ancienne 2.2: TLS 1.3 in an MPW tool

    In addition to an AmigaOS with ixemul port, you can now use carl, a mini-curl clone, as an MPW tool for TLS 1.3 from classic Mac OS. It compiles with MrC. More here: https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2023/04/crypto-ancienne-22-now-supported-on.html Next step is to make an inetd clone that can run MPW...

    PowerMac 6500 PCI graphics card options? (Feeling overwhelmed)

    I use a Twin Turbo in my 6500, but for a specific purpose: it's 2D accelerated in BeOS, which is its primary OS. My TAM just uses the onboard Rage.

    USB / FireWire PCI combo card for a Power Mac 6400 ?

    ISTR (perhaps trag can elucidate) that there is some issue with cards with PCI-PCI bridges and the 6400/6500. That said, my TAM had a Sonnet combo USB-FW card in it and the TAM is basically a 6500, so I can recommend one of those.

    What's this ADB dongle?

    I think they used the plastic from an Alcon container. I agree this is a homebrew device.

    I like what you're trying to do with Vision BASIC, and I'm sure for more modern users looking back it's a smooth way to start playing with the platform and doing "stuff." For me, though, I had a C64 in 1984 and I rapidly hit the limitations of things like Toolkit BASIC back in the day, and the...
