Ok, I successfully installed 7.0.1 on a virtual volume.
THINK C opens up but wants 4 mb of RAM preferably. But it seems to go well, you should have no difficulty.
I tried VERY HARD to make a new volume with a fresh System 7.0.1 installation in Basilisk using the Apple recovery CD, but it's asking to insert the Fonts disk at the end, even though it's mounted right there, just like all the other install disks. The dialog is modal and I can't quit out of it...
I just created a new article based on Symantec THINK C development. If you have any interest in programming C and want to target System 7 Macs, all the way down to the first System version, this is a good way to get a jump start on that. The coding environment (emulated or real machine) that you...
Ok, so Basilisk II mounts a .toast right away. Check this out!
oh yeah, I must have gotten it here (Mac Garden): https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/mactech-vol-1-12
This can help you get quickly set up for Macintosh C programming, targeting a wide range of macs (System 7.5.5 all the way down to the earliest macs around System 1).
The included resources are:
The compiler/linker/builder of choice is Symantec THINK C v6.0.
Resource editor done with ResEdit...
I'm making a resource that combines several of my posts atm
The new article is here:

now, to remember how I dealt with a .toast file in the past.
can anyone easily convert it to .iso file (that can be mounted in RaSCSI or basilisk...
I will update my website (see signature) foray into 68k to make these more easily available, but here are the direct links:
30 Mb HDA file (BlueSCSI, RaSCSI, Basilisk II):

30 Mb HFV file (Basilisk II, mini-vMac)...
Thanks to @retr01 , I just prepared my starter dev HDA. I think I won't bother with a HFV volume since basilisk II can easily deal with it. So can mini-vMac. scratch that - it doesn't open at all in mini-vMac, it asks to initialize it (sys 6.0.8 and 7.5.3) so I'll have to make a HFV as well...
I'd like to make some resources available for all:
I can make: a 30 mb HFV file containing Symantec THINK C v6.0, THINK Reference Viewer, Popfuncs, ResEdit and Resorcerer
I can't make: a HDA file of the same
HFV: runs well on emulators such as Basilisk II (recommend) and mini-vMac (don't...
Requirements for Retro68
Cygwin...yeah, not touching that.
And I say this as someone who learned how to use git on the fly back in 2017, has more than 100k lines of code in a java project repository that I've come to lead. Just learning the intricacies of the vintage Mac toolbox is already a...
Just for funsies, here are the results when I use a x86 system-on-module from ICOP, the Vortex86DX running at 800 MHz (warning, this is not matching a 800 MHz cpu; the closest equivalent in processor power is more akin to pentium 2 233 MHz) in my WeeCee

100 = 0.00

I'm sorry to have caused confusion with the markings of my screenshots.
Here's why they happened:
I took photos with my phone. The photos synced up in Google photos after a short delay.
I took lower res partial screen caps of them before I pasted them in this thread. This causes me to catch the...
I don't understand your post. I've posted 6 screenshots, all ordered as I wrote in the text part.
Screenshot 1: pi-ibmpc for 100 and 1000
Screenshot 2: pi-ibmpc for 3000
Screenshot 3: pi-pc386 for 100 and 1000
Screenshot 4: pi-pc386 for 3000
Screenshot 5: pi-pc486 for 100 and 1000
Screenshot 6...
All my tests were done on the same machine.
What program do you recommend to check the processor id? Can you provide a link to it? It's just a normal Intel 486 dx2/66. All tests were performed on a compact flash card (512 mb), booted by a real 320mb hard disk (on drive C) containing mdsos 6.22.
@Vol , here you go
Results from my 486 IBM 425 SX/S ValuePoint (no L2 cache; but upgraded to a 486 DX2/66 cpu) with 32 mb RAM and MS-DOS 6.22
Results in text format:
pi-ibmpc:
100 digits = 0.00
1000 digits = 0.55
3000 digits = 4.61
