    [System 6] [RaSCSI] [SOLVED] CD ROM support

    No matter what already made HDA file that allegedly works for mac plus, I mount it, boot with it but can't copy even small files to it. It just freezes at the midpoint. I can't bring the patched CDROM extension to @Mac84 HDA file he shared on Macintosh Garden here...

    [System 6] [RaSCSI] [SOLVED] CD ROM support

    I'm trying to load a CD ROM image using RaSCSI. I don't care about special extra features such as playing a CD audio, I'm mainly after loading up a volume in a cd image format, containing Mac HFS data. Which exact driver will let me do this? Sometimes, the drivers you can find on Mac Garden...

    [RaSCSI] [Mac Plus] [Silverlining] I need 2 HDA files made

    I have seen and perused this file depot in the past: Pro: -there's a nifty 1 Gb HDA volume formatted for Mac Plus that avoids HD drivers such as LIDO, AFAIK, it uses SilverLining. Cons: -When a 1 Gb volume crashes, it can go into a "corrupted" state and never be able to boot from it again on...

    The Influence of Steve Jobs

    Yes, but counterpoint with this to establish limits, because there are legions of people trying to push the boundaries of what is normalized these days: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradox_of_tolerance

    [RaSCSI] [Mac Plus] [Silverlining] I need 2 HDA files made

    anyone with an access to a modern Mac use Disk Jockey and could make me a Mac Plus friendly (ie SilverLining instead of Lido) 40 mb System 6.0.8 HDA disk, then another 7.1 40 mb HDA? I received a 2Gb version of the Mac Pack extraordinarily stuffed disk with a bootable System version that...

    Mu0n's Color Classic thread

    an idea on good sound at first, followed by bad sound: not much has to be energized at the time of the chime sound. The screen image doesn't have to come on right away. Maybe there's badly regulated/filtered power that makes its way when Finder sound clips are played. Just a thought. I can...

    Mu0n's Color Classic thread

    I appreciate the side discussion about deoxit and what should and should not be used on each type of potentiometer. I will run into that conundrum for sure one day - but it doesn't seem to be today. I know what scratchy pots feel like, but my machine doesn't suffer from it after testing them out...

    Mu0n's Color Classic thread

    You can only control the background for the red (ie, there's no Red Drive), unlike the other 2 colors.: So maybe my G2 value is at the frontier of the red not kicking in maybe? Edit- G2 did not help. Same result I got from a few months back. Source...

    Mu0n's Color Classic thread

    I followed (a few months ago when I last worked on it) the CRT adjustment utility I got for the color classic, following the maintenance guide pdf specifically for that mac, in the right order for its adjustments. But it's very possible the pots are scratchy and I should use something to...

    Mu0n's Color Classic thread

    Now that my tinkering space is coming together gradually, putting up the Color Classic is no longer such a pain with the previous limited space. I'm working on stabilizing it some more. I can fire it up and profit from somewhat balanced colors, but the red suddenly stops after a few minutes...

    BlueSCSI SD Transfer Utility - Alpha Testers Wanted!

    You're not wrong. I use a PC since 1991 and I have no problem dealing with Mac Garden .sit or .dsk files despite a transit through my PC. Stuffit expander works fine with .sit. Mini-vMac and Basilisk II work fine with .dsk files. FloppyEmu also deals with .dsk like a champ.

    ThinkC [Study Group 1] Drawing on the Macintosh

    Can you post the code in a CODE block in a reply here and set its language to C, we'll be able to spot a missing part of the code if it's that.

    ThinkC QuadWindows - going a bit beyond [Study Group 1] with event detection

    @Crutch Thanks a lot! It all worked. Here's the revised version I have to set PenMode(patXor) when it's black lines on white background and notPatXor when it's white lines on a black background. New Code: #define kBaseResID 128 #define kTopLeftWin kBaseResID #define...

    Sony Trinitron - one of the GREATEST TV and monitor technologies in history 📺

    It was my girlfriend's. The only CRTs I kept when I left my parents' house a couple decades ago were the 1701 C64 monitors I bought off from my older cousin. I used it as a TV for my PS2 and a small amount of time for cable TV for a few months. I'm not maxing out my gf's TV's capabilities...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    One more day of progress while I help train a 7 week old puppy and grade a small test... The shelving unit is assembled and quite sturdy + it's tied to the bench with 2 screws. The pegboard is just propped up on the bench against the wall, not mounted yet. Once that's done, once my tools are...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    Looking sharp @Drake. I may need these kitchen organizers later on. We got a new 7 week old puppy today, so I started banging on the frames quite late and stopped shortly after (don't want to piss off my semi-detached neighbors). Here's what I had time to do by hand before calling it a night...

    Dedicated tinkering space (soldering and other)

    I finally received the last of my shipment today (after 3 weeks) and started clearing out my corner. Heavy Sony CRT is heavy. Nvm the 2 compacts and lots of crap on my bench, this is not how I'll set it up at all. Just need to create chaos before I arrive at an ordered state.

    ThinkC [Study Group 1] Drawing on the Macintosh

    I made an offshoot program that goes a bit beyond this QuickDraw chapter with some light event detection and a 1-item File menu. One thing that's immediately apparent is the lack of mouse-over-in-a-region pre-programmed event. There's none, contrary to modern environments/OSes and you have to do...

    ThinkC QuadWindows - going a bit beyond [Study Group 1] with event detection

    I have a question about detecting mouse-over event management. There's no MacTrap function destined for it so you have to poll the mouse location with GetMouse (gets you local coordinates) and compare it to something related to the GrafPort you're using (window, whole screen, etc.). My question...
