    Getting MIDI to Work on an OASys IPAD...

    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...

    ThinkC Nested Volume Manager DA in Megamax C

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

    macproxy_plus - a (new, revised) proxy for wikipedia, reddit, chatgpt etc for old http bound computers

    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...

    macproxy_plus - a (new, revised) proxy for wikipedia, reddit, chatgpt etc for old http bound computers

    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...

    Cakewalk 5 for MSDOS

    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...

    Mac classes equivalence with PC classes

    @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

    MIDI Selector boards

    I used EasyEDA to design a small board that takes in a number* of MIDI producing devices (Mac, PC, Atari ST, F256K2, keyboard controller, keytar, etc) and pairs exactly one of those to another device among a number* of MIDI consuming devices (sound canvas, MT-32, modules, another computer with...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    I've done that MIDI in subcircuit on breadboard and perfboard a number of times and it worked well with my stock of H11 optocoupler chips from Ali express. A midi interface typically needs to have a 1MHz oscillation signal divided by exactly 32 to get to the midi spec's 31,250 bps. Is that what...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    I asked @Tashtari directly on discord and this was the reply: Personaly, I'm all for an exclusive MIDI interface as a cheap standalone - more people would be after that and it wouldn't force the higher cost of the MacRecorder upon it.

    I made a 23 minute video on building it and messing with it (mostly for Studio Session)

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    Ah, the confusion from my part stems from demik's profile in 68kmla, I must have seen that since some euro currency price was referred at some point in some post, so I was curious, and I just assumed you, as a collaborator, hauled from France as well. My bad.

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    That's very kind of you, but we're based in Canada and the US and according to your profile, you're in France. I've already committed to get one from AliExpress.

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    Don't worry, I don't think you're being negative at all. Getting a project under multiple constraints is always a challenge and part of the fun. I'm well aware that I can bring modern day audacity recorded wav files and bring them to a system 7 mac first, run "Brian's sound tool" and convert...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    I've been able to assemble a group buy of 4 boards being accounted for, so that part about ewaste is solved. The other aspect that isn't solved is the feeling that buying a $30 PIC kit3 that's used for this and never again makes me sit uneasy, but if it's the cost of doing business, then so be...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    I don't see the PIC in this supported list unfortunately: http://www.xgecu.com/MiniPro/TL866II_List.txt however (video example at correct time stamp): but no telling if this particular one used in the project is supported.

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    Another question, the front panel comes up at around $25 in JLCPCB but it has strangely selected a "plugged" setting for the VIAs. My understanding is that those panels are nonfunctional and are just there to provide space for the plugs and knob (a great strategy that was also used in the...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    that's great! I have a TL866 programmer so I'm gonna be looking out for a tutorial on one of these. I guess the workflow would still be to install MPLAB 5.35 to get the .hex and use that in the TL866 software (which I've used in the past for redoing a set of Mac Plus ROMs) Would you be open to...

    TashRecorder: a Farallon MacRecorder compatible clone

    Looks very fun to build and own. I would have loved to use this to make my own sound effects in World Builder rather than rely on poor shareware disks filled with sound clips that were more or less relevant. I'm not clear one the PIC12F1501 programming. Does it involve a special hardware...
