a collection of random thoughts -------- I have heard of some people using Hypercard for this. I thought it could be cool to try it with FileMaker pro. Not that thats the BEST tool for the job. Just it fits with the theme of the project. the way you did it is probably more practical /...

i basically don't. but I thought it would be nice to do something like what you are doing. like what price did a get the item at. if the PRAM battery is removed etc....

I played Doom II on my Quadra 610. got it as a birthday present. i prolly played with a small window. but it worked.

at the risk of being OT. is that forum dead? i seem to get redirected to something weird when i try to visit it.

OH i think I got it now. maybe... i think i got stuck on teh resource fork thing. because you were showing manipulating the menu's via it. But you are trying to be a lot more generic then that. I love everything about this project. its quintessential tinkering.

sure. but i woudn't want to use TextEdit to edit binary data. for one, not everything is printable. i'm sure i've corrupted some files that way. interesting. .. separate not connected questions. are you trying to implement something like Mac OS X app bundles? are you trying to replace the...

https://www.json.org/json-en.html >JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) is a lightweight data-interchange format. It is easy for humans to read and write. its the first sentence. there. and its that way in wikipedia. .. But i'm not an expert in it. I was just pointing out that the idea that json...

isn't the entire point of JSON is to be human readable? Also i feel like it would limit the editors users could use. or apps one might use. (which might only support text) Maybe what you are really trying to create is BSON ? would it be hard to create both ?

YES, in theory. some SSD's don't work in older computers. so .. thats the only sticking point. (that is, if it doesn't work, its prolly a incompatible ssd drive) .. thats what eric was talking about up there ^ when he mentioned 'sil3112' So try it. and let us know.

looks like 400 too me. it should boot OS 9 fine. I do remember when Apple removed support for booting OS9 . and it was connected to when they updated to FW800.

on the back of the mac, The firewire port is either 400 or 800. If its 400 it can boot OS9 so look on the back. If its the one that is 800, then it prolly won't boot os 9 native. (i think there is a way to hack it, but I don't know off the top of my head)

Oh the blog that @tt-30 linked tells you how you can do it. follow the instructions at 4. Creating your own hard drive / removable drive images (to initialize, edit or just as a backup) from that link they provided. that would prolly work? if not maybe with some modifications it could. Idk...

you got me wondering and i started to look around. I didn't really find anything. ... I wonder, if the desktop Mgr was created to solve for the problem of using CDROMs and network shares. The fact that it also resolves the system 7 is a side benefit ? or maybe when designing system 7 they...

or make a new one ? (like what OP is talking about ;) )

that was my understanding. It was more about protecting other equipment than protecting the computer itself. But I do NOT know for sure. However, some computers require it to even turn on. Because its used as ground. I think maybe the color classic ? Adrian Black found this out the hard way as...

I love everything about this post.

I think the advice in the video was specifically targeted to people new to the hobby. and in that case i thought it was great advice. Better to dip a toe in first and swim, then jump into the deep end and drown. I have a soft spot for the powerbook 190 becuase it was the first computer that I...

So looking at that update to the repo @JDW it looks like its fixes for the sound thing you are talking about. or at least sound related. Which i just thought it was funny because you brought out how thats an issue. heh. i think zane said previously that they don't always follows this thread...

Thanks for the link. thats a really neat resource. are their a few you particularly like?

There is also the IIgs keyboard. but thats prolly hard to find now?
