    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    Haven't noticed the think c issue but come to think of it I haven't tried running it with 32-bit addressing. Dock hiding - yes, it just tucks halfway down. Pops back up when you go into the MacDock program -- admittedly not how modern macOS works. It was a simple way to help me when I had...

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    That is awesome that you still have the books. The pdf versions make it a little easier to search I think but I’ve never done it with the books! MacDock has a “hide” feature that sinks it down halfway but the idea of using the smaller icons has its own advantages, makes sense, and wouldn’t be a...

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    Wonderful! Thanks 🙏 for filling my curiosity. Yes you should go for it! Think c 5 should build it no problem. Def let me know if you have any issues. Ive tried building it on 3 different computers but that is not much of a test😂. i would love it if you or anyone contributed to the source so...

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    Absolutely. The git repo has a .sit that contains all the same files as the repo but with resource fork preserved. That includes the think c 5 project file Why do you ask?

    This will help you get MacintoshGarden files from your Mac via ftp

    Hey all, I hope this is the right forum for this - please correct / delete me if I'm wrong. Since I got my blueSCSI v2 with wifi running I've wanted to get files from Mac garden directly from my SE/30. FrogFind isn't enough to help me navigate either Macintosh Garden or Macintosh repository...

    SE/30 RAM Banking QUESTION

    Ah thanks! Makes sense. So a “master pointer” is a structure that includes a pointer to a pointer. That inner pointer points to the memory for the application to use. When you call GetHandle(..) you are returned a handle that is the pointer to the pointer and the memory manager will have...

    SE/30 RAM Banking QUESTION

    You're probably right -- My reasoning was that I got a bunch of games and such for my SE first and many of them were from the time or earlier when the SE was the new computer (so like before 1987). So as a result a lot of the applications I have installed on my SE/30 were just copied over from...

    SE/30 RAM Banking QUESTION

    I just got 4x16MB simms for my se/30 last week. I put them into B bank IIRC. I left the 4x1MB SIMMs in Bank A which must have saved me because I had no problems with the install and it worked fine -- Really glad I didn't get caught up in the situations well documented above that could have...

    So you wanna start an SE/30 Reloaded group buy...

    Thanks for reporting. Naming and shaming, imho, is well within reason given your experience and numerous (bad) interactions with them. Thanks for all that work - and I'm saying that not even having participated in the buy! I'll give my working se/30 board an extra kiss tonight :)

    Driving a miniscribe motor to make vintage sounds

    Here she is hooked up to BlueSCSI v2 pico w! @eric This is no slight against an amazing feature that is only in BETA but I see once a network application is launched, the BlueSCSI activity light just about pulses forever— must be some sort of network upkeep activity that the daynaport driver...

    BlueSCSI v2 - DaynaPORT WiFi!

    my router serves up two networks One is the “xyzblah_5G” and then just the regular “xyzblah” i couldn’t connect to the _5G one but I could connect to my regular non-_5G one. My log.txt confirmed it never connected to it. just a heads up to anyone who has trouble— try the non-5G network! Sorry...

    BlueSCSI v2 - DaynaPORT WiFi!

    Holy smokes this thing zips on my se/30 (using frogfind to access wikipedia pages) with 7.5.3 Netscape asks for 4+ MB of ram but man does it pay off for web browsing over the leaner MacWeb!! Ordered 64MB today as Ive been meaning to beef up the /30. Great stuff!!

    BlueSCSI v2 - DaynaPORT WiFi!

    Really awesome stuff -- Soldered a pico W on myself and I used the MacTCP way (no open transport) for both System 6 and 7 on my SE. I'm going to try it on my SE/30 as the 4MB of ram on the SE is just a tad low to reliably browse wikipedia articles using MacWeb. The DNS settings weren't happy...

    Driving a miniscribe motor to make vintage sounds

    Ok now I (cheaply) hooked it up to the activity LED on my raspberry pi so it makes the hard drive make noises when the activity light flickers. Gotta say it’s sweert—- next I’ll do this on my blueSCSI and put the drive back in my mac and get that miniscribe feel with blueScsi speed. @eric -...

    Driving a miniscribe motor to make vintage sounds

    Tweaked it and made a few functions to emulate the sound of hard drive initialization and then bootup. i set the audio recording to a few stills of a mac starting. I think it sounds alright!
