Hey all, I hope this is the right forum for this - please correct / delete me if I'm wrong. Since I got my blueSCSI v2 with wifi running I've wanted to get files from Mac garden directly from my SE/30. FrogFind isn't enough to help me navigate either Macintosh Garden or Macintosh repository...

Monte Carlo 4the win

Ah thanks! Makes sense. So a “master pointer” is a structure that includes a pointer to a pointer. That inner pointer points to the memory for the application to use. When you call GetHandle(..) you are returned a handle that is the pointer to the pointer and the memory manager will have...

You're probably right -- My reasoning was that I got a bunch of games and such for my SE first and many of them were from the time or earlier when the SE was the new computer (so like before 1987). So as a result a lot of the applications I have installed on my SE/30 were just copied over from...

Getting excited about this -- I'll be there first thing Saturday morning for several hours!

I just got 4x16MB simms for my se/30 last week. I put them into B bank IIRC. I left the 4x1MB SIMMs in Bank A which must have saved me because I had no problems with the install and it worked fine -- Really glad I didn't get caught up in the situations well documented above that could have...

Thanks for reporting. Naming and shaming, imho, is well within reason given your experience and numerous (bad) interactions with them. Thanks for all that work - and I'm saying that not even having participated in the buy! I'll give my working se/30 board an extra kiss tonight :)

Here she is hooked up to BlueSCSI v2 pico w! @eric This is no slight against an amazing feature that is only in BETA but I see once a network application is launched, the BlueSCSI activity light just about pulses forever— must be some sort of network upkeep activity that the daynaport driver...

my router serves up two networks One is the “xyzblah_5G” and then just the regular “xyzblah” i couldn’t connect to the _5G one but I could connect to my regular non-_5G one. My log.txt confirmed it never connected to it. just a heads up to anyone who has trouble— try the non-5G network! Sorry...

Holy smokes this thing zips on my se/30 (using frogfind to access wikipedia pages) with 7.5.3 Netscape asks for 4+ MB of ram but man does it pay off for web browsing over the leaner MacWeb!! Ordered 64MB today as Ive been meaning to beef up the /30. Great stuff!!

Really awesome stuff -- Soldered a pico W on myself and I used the MacTCP way (no open transport) for both System 6 and 7 on my SE. I'm going to try it on my SE/30 as the 4MB of ram on the SE is just a tad low to reliably browse wikipedia articles using MacWeb. The DNS settings weren't happy...

Released code with ref. circuit on Git for the benefit of the community

Ok now I (cheaply) hooked it up to the activity LED on my raspberry pi so it makes the hard drive make noises when the activity light flickers. Gotta say it’s sweert—- next I’ll do this on my blueSCSI and put the drive back in my mac and get that miniscribe feel with blueScsi speed. @eric -...

Tweaked it and made a few functions to emulate the sound of hard drive initialization and then bootup. i set the audio recording to a few stills of a mac starting. I think it sounds alright!

Why? To hear the miniscribe sounds while I use my blueScsi wtf? My miniscribe never worked and I gave up on it, so I figured I’d try to drive the stepper motor with some modern circuitry with the hope being that one day I could signal it by the activity indicator on a blueSCSI. how’s it going...

Found one more thing worth noting here for future aspiring colorists: For the case when the screen is set to a color mode but I'm trying to get an app's icon using the PlotIconMethod(...,IconGetter,..) methodology - It will call IconGetter twice (as discussed in my recent wave of posts), once...

Oh man - Caracho! yes! I remember after Hotline went MIA (or somehow wasn't the place it was, Caracho was what I used next.

v1.3 released. Edit: v1.3.1 released. See MacDock git repo. This release adds color! But still faithfully supports b&w screen bit depth as well. A *lot* of the conversation for v1.3 was held over in this thread all about working with color screens. It got pretty meaty... I really didn't...

Thanks for confirming! I had no idea someone had code like this out there. And yes I hear you loud and clear on how the code assumes the buffer for the icon has its second half with the mask. This is quite interesting (funny?) because from what I've read in Inside Macintosh indeed the mask...

I had some really bizarre issue -- Unless I call NewHandle(s) inside of IconGetter() function, the resulting plotted icon would have some artifacts (white streaks on the otherwise correct icon). I was trying to call NewHandle just once way outside in Main() knowing that I'll be using that...
