    Running NetWare on the 6100 (and Apple Network Server)

    No, not the client - actual NetWare. It looks like this: This is NetWare 4.11 running on a Power Mac 6100, though the project (codenamed Cyberpunk) was actually intended for the Apple Network Server. Incredibly, there is still a Forth word "setenv-netware" in the production ANS ROM. Cyberpunk...

    CodeWarrior Creating "symbiotic" applications between Macs and the Apple Network Server

    The Apple Network Server's implementation of AIX had a secret weapon, and that was a full Unix-side implementation of AppleTalk, Apple events and the Program-to-Program Communications Toolbox (PPC Toolbox). Apple published demonstration applications where Mac clients could offload their...

    6100/66 DOS Compatible

    I love Engrish, but I love bombastic Engrish even more.

    Going mobile

    I have that very bag for my beat-up TiBook G4. I put a little foam spacer in there so it wouldn't bang around so much.

    CodeWarrior Sending and receiving messages between two apps

    It's still Apple Events because they can go from Mac to Mac. The facility you want is the PPC Toolbox (not PowerPC: Process-to-Process Communication). https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/mac/pdf/Interapplication_Communication/PPC_Toolbox.pdf

    CodeWarrior Sending and receiving messages between two apps

    Yes, this is pretty much what Apple Events were designed for.

    Cyberdog 1.0 and the Cyberdog SDK

    I managed to land an unopened copy of the Cyberdog Programmer's Kit book. This included a full CD-ROM with Cyberdog 1.0, the Cyberdog SDK, and many interesting videos and documents. With tweaks it all builds in CodeWarrior Gold 9 and generates real, working Cyberdog/OpenDoc parts. So here they...

    10-14-23 total/annular eclipse

    Kind of a bust in the Bay Area due to the clouds, but got a few decent shots pretty much the same way!

    Prototype Commodore 8250 Mini Drive Board

    What makes you conclude it's a prototype? It looks like it has a daughtercard in, but that could just be a repair.

    Tiger OSX - OS9 not recognized as startup volume

    Did you install the OS 9 disk drivers when you partitioned it?

    Ode to the PowerBook 100

    For me, I found the Portable more appealing than the PB100 because the PB100 is basically a miniaturized Portable - but the Portable was first, and weirder. Then again there aren't many 68K PowerBooks I like. I do have a 540c but it has an iffy display connection I keep putting off dealing with.

    MacOS 9 and system monitors

    I hadn't considered a VBL approach and I agree that makes things simpler, but if something's hogging the CPU, it should still need to yield to let the process monitor actually display anything, I would think.

    MacOS 9 and system monitors

    Back on my MDD Mac. The tool I was thinking of is ProcessInfo.app: http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/processinfo-131 It does have CPU load and a nice graph, but remember, it won't necessarily be accurate if something pins the CPU.

    MacOS 9 and system monitors

    There's a couple nice process explorer tools the names of which currently escape me (not with my Macs at the moment), but I don't remember if they did CPU load. Difficult to do accurately in any case because classic Mac OS is cooperatively multitasked. An application that hogs the CPU, and many...

    FTP Question

    How much RAM do you have? ;) Jokes aside, Classilla prefers to be on a system with at least 128MB of RAM and the default allocation is sized for that. If you have less, then leave it alone (but consider virtual memory or RAM Doubler if you'll use it a lot). If you have more, then you might...

    FTP Question

    If you increase Classilla's memory partition, you may have better luck with large structures like that.

    Macintosh Portable M5120 Display issue

    Boy, it would be something if you could get a dongle working with that. You can take my money now.

    The spawn of AtariLab and the Universal Laboratory Interface

    This is about the AtariLab, but here it's being run on a Commodore 64 using the Hayden software (getting the thermistor recalibrated was a pain!). Also includes a look at the Universal Laboratory Interface, its successor. Warning: contains math and abuse of electronics...
