It took me almost 2 years of experience with coding and playing with it, finding the right words, but I finally condensed it into a 15 minute video of why I got a F256K back in 2023. I also got a F256K2 back in late 2024, but that's a story for another day.

Thanks for taking a stab at it, Chris. I think the bridge is the fail point of all this. No pinging works from inside QEMU so it's definitely that tap adapter v9 "network device" that is failing to do the trick here. I've tried uninstalling openvpn for windows a bunch of times, trying again...

I tried spinning up QEMU in windows 11 again in preparation for this year's marchintosh but couldn't get to see the other zones at all. things I did: -reinstall openvpn -bridge my regular LAN to TapQemu1 -open udp port 387 to an unclaimed LAN IP -use that same unclaimed IP in MacTCP in system 7...

I realized I hadn't made a post directly on the topic, but here goes. I started a series on using THINK C (technically Symantec THINK C++ 6.0) where the dev platform is Basilisk II running on my PC but the target machine is the Macintosh Plus, often for System 6, sometimes earlier, sometimes...

I got a copy as well. I tried a few levels and let my son play as well. He's into it! I'll for sure sit down and do the rest soon.

MIDI has been on my mind since at least May of 2024. Here's a recap of the timeline of things I've accomplished: Why am I doing all this? -Fun programming challenge -A very potent path to add rich music to game programming; no need to invent a format, piggy-back on this well-established one...

After the classic Mac game Glypha got a remake on steam recently, here's Chipwits (1984)'s turn: Its first version could only run on the Mac 128 or 512 and it took the v1.2 update (that I never knew about back in 80's, 90's, 00's and most of the '10s...) to run on a Plus. I wanted to get my...

eXoDOS 6.0.4 is released today, big update Download the torrent in the same place as previously, it'll auto add the delta The media pack is also updated So is the demo scene pack Depending on your situation, once the torrent is either downloaded from scratch (if you're starting from...

I made a PCB recently using EasyEDA and ordering from JLCPCB. It can be purchased from here: https://jcm-1.com/product/pc-gameport-party/ The PC Gameport Party allows you to use your vintage PC’s gameport to its maximum use case scenario. Instead of having separate cabling solutions that would...

Office Lens straightens the pages right after taking pictures with it. I use the free PDFGear on my PC to assemble images and/or merge PDFs.

Anyone with access to Microsoft Office Lens (a phone app) and a bit of patience can scan imperfectly aligned books and force the app to auto-realign the result and export to PDF. The length lies in powering through the inevitable errors that seldom happen.

You can find 2 other books on THINK Pascal here: https://vintageapple.org/macprogramming/ not the same, but they probably provide examples of similar scope.

can you paste everything in your autoexec.bat and your config.sys files?

Here are my config.sys settings for when I need to use expanded memory so I can run SoftMPU. DEVICE=C:\DOS\HIMEMSYS /testmem:off DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\EMM386.EXE 2048 AUTO (you can change the number 2048 to your needs - some rare programs complain when I had too much allocated RAM from my 256 mb...

TIL that HFS volumes have an extra dot. (won't show up in System 7.5.3, but still does in 6.0.8)

I'm currently looking to run this server on my Windows machine through WSL and I'm getting my behind kicked thoroughly. I'm very untrained in all things linux/ubuntu/whatever distro you want and I try not to mess with network stuff if I can help it usually - sadly, this project requires a HEAVY...

so this video made the rounds, and in it, Hunter Irving exposes how a linux flask server can act as a proxy for his Mac Plus using the very old MacWeb2.0c browser (but any old computer that can set up a http proxy is fair game, ie a SE/30, a windows xp machine, etc) Places that work with it...

This is my own MIDI cover of the piano solo from "Clubbed to death" by Rob Dougan, famously part of the Matrix motion picture soundtrack. This was captured from a vintage PC using a VGA to HDMI converter, and audio line in from the Roland SC-88ST. Software used: Cakewalk 5, MS-DOS version...

@Kai Robinson graciously provided an equivalency in discord. Here it is for posterity. 000 = 8086, 020 = 286, 030 = 386DX, 040 = 486DX, 060 = 5x86/Pentium 60/66, PPC601 = P75 - P120, PPC603 = Pentium MMX/P2 (ish), PPC604 = Pentium 2, PPC750 = P3
