    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    You're welcome, though that was just self-preservation. I would have gone mad trying to merge later updates without a clear understanding of the intended changes.

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    Hmm. My only other comment is that in TenFourFox, I used a third-party library called CTGradient to give me proper convenience functions. This library works on both 10.4 and 10.5. I don't know if that's worth looking at, but if you want to, it should be in gfx/2d/ in the TenFourFox source...

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    I seem to remember a problem with alpha blending and gradients but not failing to render entirely. You mentioned it only occurs on 10.5. Are your previous builds linked against the 10.5 SDK affected?

    Asante Technologies 09-00061-00 Ethernet NuBus card Rev A

    Some old cards will not handle 10/100 (let alone GigE) ports with auto-negotiate. The usual solution is to stick a 10Mbit hub between the card and the switch.

    Can you get AAUI sockets anywhere?

    Love those scarab beetle dongles. :-D

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    Nicely done. Yes, I remember having to dink around with pixel offsets to get Australis working. If you have a build, I'll try it on the G5 this weekend.

    Que Drive for iMac G3

    Yes, the non-working one I have also has a USB/FW interface. I think someone looted the OP's unit for parts.

    Interview with Bob "Dr. Macintosh" LeVitus

    I have a real Sluggo poster on my wall, including the tube. One of the best Mac ad campaigns.

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    How much video memory do you have in the system? ISTR that Action Retro tried the 10.5 build on a G4 and had to upgrade his graphics card or he'd get a similar startup crash. (I'm not sure how he determined that was the problem, but it worked after he did.)

    Reconnaissance: Modern Diagnostics for your Classic Mac

    Excellent! I look forward to source (my Linux box is a POWER9).

    Looks like he pushed out a new update.

    Shopping for Power Macintosh 7300 ram

    I have a full gigabyte in my 7300. Works fine.

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    That guy has a lot of great Tiger stuff. I'll need to try some of it this weekend. Saves me building it myself.

    Snow EMU - Emulator for 680x0-based Macintosh computers

    Ah, Bob Siebenberg's music. Not exactly Supertramp, but it will do. :)

    Reconnaissance: Modern Diagnostics for your Classic Mac

    Yup, so was I. I have a whole bunch of transcripts for this from my own TechStep but only had basic code working. Good to see someone got this over the finish line.

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    I'm not sure I understand the question correctly, but you're likely going to end up linking against *$UNIX2003 symbols when you build against the 10.5 SDK, meaning the build plain won't run at all on 10.4 because those variants don't exist there (you'll get "symbol not found" errors from dyld)...

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    Good question. A large part of it was the compiler I was using, which was still gcc 4.8 (I was intentionally very conservative with the toolchain). You are using a much more advanced compiler, so you should have fewer problems. Cursorily, if you wanted to do a Tiger build (from a Leopard...

    MacWEEK preview of prototype ANS 700

    Wow, nice find! Yup, those look like the 10Mbit ANS card, and that is definitely an ESB Shiner. I have two of the 10Mbit cards and one of the 100Mbits, but there never were very many. Not sure what they mean by greased skids in the front drive trays (ewww).

    PowerFox - new web browser for Leopard on PowerPC!

    Because UXP's widget layer is not too different from TenFourFox's, it should be possible to port the rest of the 10.4 changes (and there are quite a few), and it should "just work" without a lot of fuss on Tiger. The JIT is a different story. The basis would still transfer, but it would require...
