    BeOS Install

    I've got a partial solution to the HTTPS problem here, but it's dreadfully slow on my BeBox. (It might be better on a faster Mac.) https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2022/10/going-where-beos-netpositive-hasnt-gone.html I still need to finish that Gopher client for BeOS.

    Pocket(CHIP) Macintosh

    Now you're making me want to dig mine out. I have two rotting in storage that need a project.

    DVD Burning in OS 9

    I don't recall which version of Toast, but DVD burning works fine with Mac OS 9. Early versions of iDVD even ran on OS 9.

    The Macintosh Application Environment on a PA-RISC laptop

    Good to see it works. My issue wasn't running the AppleTalk drivers on real hardware: it was running it on the wrong version of the operating system. This PA-RISC laptop runs HP-UX 11.00, not the 10.x or 9.x that MAE is expecting. Since these are kernel modules, I didn't want to make the machine...

    Very interesting!

    Apple Network Server MacOS based ROMs found

    Wasn't it h# ffc00000 h# 00400000 dump ? Or are the h#'s unnecessary?

    Assemble a TransWarp GS CPU cable?

    Here is how it looks in my IIgs. Does this help you at all?

    Apple Network Server MacOS based ROMs found

    For those unclear on the historical context (there were even Windows NT ROMs promised), I did a summation here. https://oldvcr.blogspot.com/2025/10/the-apple-network-server-macos-roms.html

    Running MacOS on NeXT hardware

    Pretty neat. I vaguely remember this back in the day. Still, MAE has everything else beat, at least for running 68K apps side by side with X/CDE ones.

    Eric's Apple Network Server 700 tinker log

    Nice to see you here. Apple called them mezzanine interconnect boards, or mezz boards for short (though this probably doesn't help you much).

    PowerMac 8600/250 BEOS Woes

    Pretty sure there wasn't a PowerPC version of BONE, though I'd love to be proven wrong. I think it was only ever x86 only. I wrote up my own inetd-like system so that R5 on the PowerPC could do some of the same Internet server tasks.

    Mini-project: Booting Linux on an iBook, without repartitioning

    Nice work. Seems like an analogous approach should work for, say, NetBSD.

    I resurrected an old Hotline client

    Excellent work!

    PowerMac 8600/250 BEOS Woes

    Hi, nice to see you here. Unsure what else to add though - my BeBox and 6500 don't exhibit this behaviour. But I don't have any other BeOS systems running right now.

    Announcing BlueSCSI Toolbox – Web Edition

    There is a ZuluIDE. Not a full substitute yet, but very promising, and may work as a storage medium for basic use cases. https://www.zuluide.com/

    Eric's Apple Network Server 700 tinker log

    Yup, Eric started that thread (or if E-mail is better, ckaiser at floodgap dawt com). It is not difficult, just slow, to dump the ROM from OpenFirmware over a serial port. I had heard similar things about the SMP card, though I thought that was also a 604 or 604e. I know early work on it...

    First official C64 in 36 years

    I'm glad these exist, but my preferred Commodore is still the 128DCR, and I have plenty of spares. It is the finest 8-bit computer Commodore ever made.

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    Yup, that's usually all they are (a PATA drive fitted to a converter board).

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    I'd look for an old FireWire enclosure. Since nothing supports those anymore, they can sometimes be had for cheap, and most of them are bootable. It will be much faster than USB 1.1.

    TiBook G4 1GHz stopped recognising any ssd/hard disk

    When you say "doesn't see its disk," what appears on screen? What do you see when you issue a "boot" command from OpenFirmware?
