    ThinkC [Study Group 2] - Events & Menu Management

    Thanks yes! I was just reading up on this in Inside Macintosh! Had gotten as far as how to produce a list of running processes but hadn’t seen yet the part about PBDTGetIcon to get the icon. Thanks

    ThinkC [Study Group 2] - Events & Menu Management

    I cannot seem to get my EventTracker to respond to the AppleEvent generated by EventTrigger. I made sure to set the Creator code correctly in Tracker and to use ‘Prmr’ as the appSig that is the destination in Trigger… I’m a bit stuck!!

    SE/30 - black screen

    I was going to suggest reflowing the solder pins on all of the muxes if OP felt comfortable doing that. It’s not too hard and it could help. But yes replacing the muxes may be necessary. Really I think the recap is step 1.

    4.5V Battery Replacement for Early Compact Macs?

    I used a cr2032 cell at 3.5V in my se. I understand the old macs tolerate a wide range of voltages for this purpose and many use 2032. I got this one https://console5.com/store/horizontal-holder-for-2032-coin-cell-batteries.html But many exist. Some with wire leads built in (which I think makes...

    Help please - MAC Classic refuses to boot from BlueSCSI (DB25 form)

    What this guy said. Please try again but changing the hda filename so that it is not a signed scsi I’d zero as thst conflicts with your hard drive. Or you could unplug your hard drives’ scsi cable but a lot easier to just rename a file on the sd card.

    Ok - I'm game! I was only a little further in using the Macintosh C Programming By Example book but I'll do the study group thing with this C Programming Primer book. It looks good. The timing will encourage me to stay motivated. I'm using either an SE or SE/30. Think C kinda of flipped on...

    ThinkC [Study Group 0] Getting your Development Environment Setup & Hello, World!

    Just a shout-out to Macintosh C Programming by Example as being a good book to teach yourself C on Macintosh using THINK C 5.0 It came with a disk with some skeleton programs used in the book -- and macintoshrepository has the disk. I've used it to build a very simple program but hope to...
