    Solved: RaSCSI and CD-ROM images from the web - how to make it work?

    what format image did you use? iirc, I had to convert to .ISO before my RaSCSI made it (Oregon's trail) work for my SE/30. I also put the proper system 7 extension so that cd roms could be dealt with and mounted.

    ThinkC [Study Group 0] Getting your Development Environment Setup & Hello, World!

    I appreciate your help but I'm thinking Extreme Long Term about this website (after all, it started out in 2004) and I don't want to impose further recurrent work on you, nor be forced to seek out helping hands. It's really braindead simple to edit in its current form. Anyone familiar with basic...

    Meh, I'd waste a lot of time because a web developper, I'm not.

    ThinkC [Study Group 0] Getting your Development Environment Setup & Hello, World!

    Powerbooks are solid machines for programming in THINK C, I've done it a lot when I was working in another city during the week. Brought my trusty Powerbook 180.

    Have an IBM PC compatible on the 486 or the first Pentium? Please run it for me!

    I've included my config.sys and autoexec.bat (renamed as .txt so that they can upload here) so you can see what's running. Right now, it's set up to accomodate Wing Commander 1, so I need expanded memory so I can run SoftMPU, in order to tap into some sweet Roland MT-32 music. I run a CPU cache...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    I'm ok with computer *storage* at the moment, I have my collection set up in another room. This is aiming for soldering tasks and using a Mac at a time. I'll post a better pic shortly in my last reply

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    Got my first shipment so I can start thinking about the bench space. The rest arrives in early September. This is just 0 seconds after shoving the bench in its space. I'll have to think about what will go on the pegboard (on hand, not installed yet) , what could go in upper shelves, etc. The...

    ThinkC [Study Group 0] Getting your Development Environment Setup & Hello, World!

    as the target machine on which your compiled + built-into-app code will run, no problem. as the development machine, no. you'd have to go way back with an old C compiler, like MegaMax C, with less pre-programmed goodies and keywords (some globals we take for granted in THINK C, you'd have to...

    Oops, I actually ran pi-log7 on my WeeCee. I went back and copied 7 through 12 to my 486 and I even tested back some of the old ones. The output changes between tries. Is that normal? For instance, pi-log5 will output: 0000 0000 25A4 0000 0000 and running it again right after will give: 0000...

    Both are practically the same for our purposes. In essence, Symantec C++ 6 is much like THINK C 6 but with (pseudo) C++ added as a bonus if you want it (I don't use it). The regular C portion is pretty much the same. There's no fear of missing out by using one or the other for this study group!

    ThinkC [Study Group 0] Getting your Development Environment Setup & Hello, World!

    I REBELLED right on week 0 and made a Mac Toolbox variant of 'Hello World' to show how challenging the learning curve already is when you step away from the comfort zone of ANSI C. For those not used to programming in C, it'll look very awkward and inefficient and you'll wonder why it's so...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    This looks TOP NOTCH @Drake . Are your shelves 40 cm (which is necessary if you want to integrate a cabinet inside the frame) deep or 55 cm ( which is necessary for a compact mac + keyboard + clearance in the back for scsi cables)? Which shelves + support did you use? I might add a drawer at...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    I've been thinking about doing a reorganizing of a corner of my basement for a while. If I don't do it, this is the kind of thing that happens and drives my girlfriend and kids nuts (well, not so much the kids, for now...). Every piece of equipment is brought from various places from the...

    ThinkC Movie Crawl

    it looks SO GOOD @Crutch Meanwhile, I completely firebombed my v2 by trying to use an offscreen GrafPort. I had old code from 2005 on it with some personal library files with routines to set them up. I can't explain why not only do they not work, but I can't even do a simple DrawString in a...

    ThinkC Movie Crawl

    This implies 3d objects, either one for each letter or manipulating a flat texture on a slanted 3d slate. This is an order of magnitude above my skills ATM. Someone can feel free to be motivated and go all the way with quickdraw 3d or whatever that's used on macs.

    ThinkC Movie Crawl

    https://amendhub.com/mu0n/MovieCrawl/files/MovieCrawl.c I just started a small project for fun, it imitates a movie crawl. Here's the state of it after 2 hours: -Will set up a compact mac sized centered area of 512x342 where the action happens, on a black background (works regardless of the...

    It probably means you have something to learn from all this.

    Have an IBM PC compatible on the 486 or the first Pentium? Please run it for me!

    My 486 doesn't have any connectivity (no network card). Its only link to the world is via a compact flash card (regular disk drive is busted).
