@Zane Kaminski For the life of me, I can't get my 1.44MB floppy to NOT boot now, even with my BlueSCSI attached. It boots every time I try it! In fact, I can boot into System 0.95 and Finder 1.0 using that floppy, and both of my 2GB drive volumes on my BlueSCSI will mount. Takes a very long...

More than 50% of that 4-5 seconds is the AppleScript "application" launching. It's almost all AppleScript. If a knowledgeable person were to write a one-trick pony Extension in Assembly language that would put selected items into the Trash when CMD-DEL is pressed, that would likely be the...

The dot also doesn't appear in the windows of HFS volumes while booted into very old System Software, such as System file version 2.0, which is not HFS aware.

You are speaking about my post here, under the heading: "I made a NEW DISCOVERY!" The key difference in my testing at the time I wrote that old post and my most recent testing yesterday is that in my testing yesterday, I had the BlueSCSI completely removed. In both cases, I tested using my SE...

@phipli Easy Keys works well to invoke the Application saved with AppleScript. CMD-DEL throws the selected file(s) in the Trash without emptying the Trash, which is perfect. I've not tested it on a real vintage Mac yet, but it works perfectly in Mini vMac (Mac II version). By the way, I...

Drat! You're right! Please accept my humble thanks for spotting my typo! All is well now. I can save it as an Application. But further testing will need to wait until tomorrow because my brain is thoroughly fried right now. o_O

And on that note, I would say it's best to avoid YouTube if you ponder the numbers because unless you're a lovely and scantly clad lady, you won't be pleased with view counts and subscribers. My YouTube work is a labor of love, which is also why I keep Ads switched OFF for a better viewing...

Boy! I'm hoppin' mad at myself and deserve a real punch in the nose. All this time, I've been sharing photos of my board taken in the past in this thread because I felt confident I never touched the chips after making my videos. But when using a lens this evening, I discovered that...

Yes...

@phipli Thank you. Sadly, there's still trouble. I installed AppleScript 1.1 using these disk images. During the install, it told me that it would install an older version of the Finder. Not sure why AppleScript should even be replacing the Finder, but it did. It installed 7.1.3...

I tried typing in your script manually (since the text of your script was not available). I merely left out "empty trash" because I don't need that. CMD-DEL in S7.5.5 works by merely casting your selection into the Trash without emptying the Trash. Unfortunately, it won't compile and...

When doing all that in Mini vMac (Mac II edition), it looks like a little TV during the boot sequence, but when you open the Extensions folder and try to spot the same icon, I couldn't find it. You have to delete this one: But to start off at the very beginning... I did a clean install of...

Instead of working on WarpSE on my lunch break today, I took my standard 4.5km brisk walk. That usually gets my aging brain working a bit better. I believe what the documentation must be saying is to copy only the DRVR resource from the NEST suitcase (via ResEdit) into the System file, but...

Eric, thank you. Here are some screenshots... App and Driver "suitcase" icons: "Nest" suitcase opened in ResEdit: Copying ONLY the DRVR from the Nest suitcase into a given System file is easy. But I'm curious what leaving out the other 5 resources will do.

I feel very sad. 😢 Folks, APATHY is our worst enemy. Think of someone in this hobby you dislike profoundly. Now consider this: APATHY is worse than they are! I started this thread to INFORM and FIGHT APATHY. As such, I can't help be feel a deep pain in my heart when I hear that "people...

@Kai Robinson Nobody else so far who has been using WarpSE has had the same result as me, so that IWM chip you shipped me could very well be unique in the world! Later today, I will remove that “IWM” chip from my SE Reloaded motherboard and install it in the stock SE board to see what happens.

I cannot answer that question until I receive the SWIM replacement from Kay Koba. Right now, I don’t have a SWIM chip to test.

@Zane Kaminski Very impressive little oscillator based on my brief look at the Datasheet. This article presents a nice overview of the company, which seems to have been a spin-off from Bosch: This article talks about the trade-offs between MEMS and Crystal Oscillators. And this article takes...

@Opualuan Thank you for your suggestion. Hidden Finder Features does indeed enable CMD-DEL, but only for System 7.5.2 through 7.6.1. The aim set forth in this thread is to find the best way to gain that CMD-DEL functionality in System 7.1.

I've known about this Nested Volume Manager article (by Mike Schuster of Adobe, April 1986) since 2007. I've always thought it was a neat concept, which I will summarize thusly: Format a HDD like the Apple HD20 (serial interface) and then use the special Desk Accessory (DA) and driver...
