    ThinkC Creating dynamic lists in ThinkC

    I’m sure I can find a reference. I remember doing this in college and at work for a “database” I created for a program - back before we had relational databases for DOS programming. You essentially allocate memory for each structure. You add a couple of pointers to your structure, one for the...

    ThinkC Moving code from version 5 to 6 then to 7

    I am attempting to work through the examples in Macintosh C Programming Primer Vol. 1 Second Edition by Dave Mark and Cartwright Reed using Think C 6.0.1. I'm running into some issues with the code. While looking for answers I ran across this article in MacTech by Dave Mark. Odds and Ends -...

    [Idea] Macintosh 68k Programming Study Group?

    This is great! I’ll be using my IIci as my dev machine and maybe my PB 150c PB 520c for portability. Although I may need to swap out my SD with A/UX to do it. I’m not sure if I can run Think C v6 under OS 7.0.1, or can I?

    [Idea] Macintosh 68k Programming Study Group?

    I like the idea of some structure and being able to post questions, have discussions, toss ideas for projects around, etc. I think this is an opportunity to eat our cake and have it too.

    Hi there!

    Right. SD cards are going to eventually fail from the activity. I'm not sure how long and what the failure behavior would be like.

    Think C is on my "to do" list. I like the idea of perusing multiple areas so I can switch back and forth. The HyperCard thing is going to take a couple of years to do.

    Hi there!

    I once had a SCSI2CD and have switched to using exclusively BlueSCSI. The kit price is reasonable and they are dead simple to setup and configure - especially since the latest firmware supports USB.

I've also recently started working on a project for installation, administration, and development of/in A/UX. The sysadmin thing isn't in my wheelhouse and will take some time...

    USB Mouse for iBook?

    Looking for a recommendation for a USB mouse suitable for an iBook G3/800. I have a Pro Mouse and really don't care for it. Too short of a cord and having the entire body move to click feels awkward. Would like to have something "matching" in style. If that's a Pro Mouse then so be it.

    I will be attending the Vintage Computer Festival Midwest in Elmhurst, IL. This is the first For me. Thought I’d start a thread to discuss what it’s like, who will be there, any swap/sale items you might bring or what you are hoping to find. I’m looking for a Macintosh IIcx compatible...

    Which Macintoshes, NuBus Video Cards Only Do “Sync on Green”?

    Interested in hearing if the inexpensive multi-switch adapters worked or not. I'm getting a IIci in the near future and would like to find a solution that doesn't require hard to find monitors and/or expensive video scaler equipment.
