    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    There used to be a way to code the window to float i can barely recall there was also this mini pallet windows with the tiny title bar and you could make those float. maybe that was a system 7.5 thing though. I cant remember. I never liked the hiding thing anyway on the dock. Years ago I had a...

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    That weird "Disk Full" error.. it was happening in several other apps too not just THINK. I am going to try the 32 boot system enabler instead of Mode32 and see what happens but removing the Thread Manager extension solved it.

    Nice that’s much better. Once you resize it remains sticky at that size? I figured out my sim full issue was a conflict on my machine with Thread Manager extension. Not sure if it’s a system wide issue or my repaired logic board is still a bit wonky…

    Ya I figured you were half hiding so you could still see the icons. Pretty cool project. I'll have to step through it in the debugger and see whats going on.

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    I just built it and ran in in THINK C 5. THINK C doesn't like 32 bit addressing enabled from memory control panel / Mode 32. The project builds but then while it's copying the resources it gives a disk full error. weird. With Dock hiding enabled, the dock drops down about half way. Is this the...

    Haha ya I was kidding.. The books will be staying on the shelf. I’m too lazy and spoiled to deal with that anymore. But yeah back in the day I had them all surrounding me in a circle on the floor along with my code listings printed out. Man we used to have it hard. Now I’m asking ChatGPT to...

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    Yeah apps not running would be great. That’s the main reason I want a dock / launcher. And the ability to resize it would be cool. To be able to scale it down to the minimal icon size. I have not programmed in Mac toolbox land since the late 90’s so I’ve got a lot of work jarring it back out...

    ThinkC MacDock dev progress -- Like today's macOS Dock but for System 7

    I’ve been digging up my old projects and have just repaired my IICx and put THINK C on it and put CodeWarrior on my G3 laptop and was going to to start playing around with my favorite IDE and compilers. Though I would grab your project and see if I could build it on the IIcx. And I need a dock...

    Nice work. Is this a THINK C 5 project?

    Mac Classic screen shake

    I can hear your voice and speaking style… IN your posts. 😆 (I have a Sony monitor doing something very similar but it’s waving and rising vertically) I have yet to figure it out. Replaced caps and bridge rectifier and the driver chip.

    Macintosh Portable M5120 Display issue

    These LCDs are a nightmare. I’ve tried to repair two of them end they just got worse and worse. I had one that was perfect then a lone speared one day. Then Another. Then 5 more. Ahhhhg I replaced drivers etc. I think it’s the pads on the glass itself and not the board or the zebra strips.

    Info on RAM and PDS cards

    Cool yeah I’m going to do the portables next. the rocket would be awesome to get running but it’ll be a challenge. It’s in good cosmetic condition. I probed it with the scope and all I see is oscillation from the crystal and the 68040. The 040 gets very warm. I gave up on the iicx board that...

    Info on RAM and PDS cards

    Are you interested in taking a look at it and see if you can make it do something? If so I can ship it to you. My stock pile of bad boards is getting out of hand. I may just sell some unless someone else wants to have a look at them. current list off the top of my head: • this ram card • two...

    Info on RAM and PDS cards

    I got the cards in today. The modem works and the 1MB official Apple RAM card shows up in the finder with a total of 2MB but the other card is not showing up in the finder. I assume it should without the need of any third party drivers or software correct? That would be this card:

    Micro Power Pack for BlueSCSI

    Added a power on/off switch so I don’t wear out the micro usb connector. Now it’s perfecto! I’m guessing it’ll get at least 12 hours of runtime.

    Micro Power Pack for BlueSCSI

    So power banks don’t work to power the external BlueSCSI because they only pull about 20ma and that’s not enough to keep a USB power bank from shutting off after a few minutes. So I took a 300mah lipo, a usb charging circuit and a 3.7v to 5v boost converter I had lying around and whipped up a...
