Found the very first #3D Modeling program I ever used circa 1992, "3D-Edit."
It came with a bunch of shareware on a 105MB hard disk I got from my parents that year. The program itself was released in 1986.https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/3d-edit

March 14, 1984, Susan Kare demonstrates the Macintosh user interface on an episode of The Computer Chronicles. I love how she says “Mac,” not “the Mac.” #vintageMac #classicMac #Apple #Macintosh

Excerpts from Bill Atkinson’s last interview, with David Pogue. The bit about “loser-friendly” software made me laugh. What a brilliant and kind soul he was. #vintageMac #classicMac #Macintosh #Apple

#Macstodon now runs in the latest bleeding-edge build of the Snow emulator! And if you use Snow's built-in HTTPS stripping, then you don't have to configure WebOne or another proxy, just install Macstodon and start using it 😎
Thanks @twvd for the FPU fixes and all the other hard work you put into Snow! This is the kick-in-the-pants I need to get the next version of Macstodon out the door 🙂

Getting System 7.5 natively booting on a G4 Mac is impressive enough…
...but what truly blows my mind is that on the same hardware, the author managed to get System 6.0.8 as far as a Happy Mac, and Systems 7.0/7.1 to a "not supported on this computer" dialog.
The fact that the ROM manages to get that far at all, instead of a black screen or sad mac is bonkers, considering that the processor architecture (and the rest of the hardware) is completely different from anything that would be understood by that era of OS. It's relying on the 68k emulator built-in to the ROM.
Driver support notwithstanding, I wonder how low could you go if you took the resources from the CHRP system enabler and brought them over into the System file directly? Since 6.x and early 7.x didn't support enablers.

GlobalTA/UX’ing tonight!
It's been quite a while since I’ve done something silly with an old Mac so I installed A/UX on my IIfx. It's something I've wanted to do for a while (and tried a few times in the past) but never managed to get it to work until now - turns out A/UX is incompatible with the BMOW ROM-inator - after reinstalling my stock IIfx ROM it works like a charm, even supporting my Interware video card and Asante ethernet card.
Software compatibility is a bit spotty when it comes to network apps - iCab and TurboGopher didn't work, but MacLynx and the Wikipedia app do. And of course #GlobalTalk works like a charm!
Also it's crazy that I can telnet into this thing from my daily driver MacBook Pro 🤣

NetBSD puts out a nice operating system that runs on _all kinds_ of strange hardware. They deserve to be able to keep doing that.
Consider donating -- they're a ways away from their 2025 fundraising goal!
Even if you don't run #NetBSD (I don't), consider donating! They're making an OS that can run on all kinds of of weird old hardware, from #Dreamcast to #PDAs to #ClassicMac, and much more.
Support #NetBSD and keep old hardware out of the dump!

Updated the #Macstodon roadmap today.
It's been a long time since I've touched it, but things slowed down a little bit at my day job this week and I'm getting the itch to do some retro programming again.
I need to tackle the longstanding Mastodon 4.3+ auth issue and I think I'm just going to build a wizard-type interface with screenshots that show you what you need to click (on a modern machine) in order to create an auth token manually.
Also it would be nice to support the new quote posts feature. And polls. And maybe even attachments.
I gave up on the REALBasic/FutureBasic rewrite - it was too difficult to do that and still maintain System 7 & 68K support (and also because someone else is working on a Mac Mastodon client in REALBasic for later OS versions).
I do still want to rewrite it in Micropython but that’ll be a LONG way away and is dependent on Micropython getting all of MacPython's features.
Anyway, hopefully I'll have more to share in a few days/weeks.

And now I wonder how hard it could be to patch a 68K silicon graphics IRIS 3000 to run classic mac os. I doubt I'll have time in my lifetime to look into that, but still making QuickDraw work with a bitplane graphic adapter would be interesting…

For those not following #m68kMicroPython development, a lot has been happening rather quickly in the last couple of weeks!
There's enough support for the Toolbox now that I've been able to re-create the #Macstodon splash/loading screen with it - see below.
Big thanks to @stylus for all his hard work developing the port and making this possible!

The “Looking Inside the Macintosh IIfx” demo that I posted to Macintosh Garden last week has just been cracked by one of the users there, removing the hardware/software checks so that it will now run all the way up through Mac OS 9 (and on BasiliskII/vMac/SheepShaver/QEMU).
(If it throws an error and exits when you click "Inside View”, bump the memory allocation up to 4096k and relaunch).

📣 New Video Drop 🎥
I take a closer look at the seemingly fine $30 Facebook Marketplace Mac Classic. But, as we know, all good Mac Classics go bad and this little guy needs some help.
Let's find out how much trouble I'm really in and the spare parts that I've spend the last month purchasing.

A brand new 68k Mac emulator quietly dropped last night!!
“Snow” can emulate the Mac 128k, 512k, Plus, SE, Classic, and II. It supports reading disks from bitstream and flux-floppy images, and offers full execution control and debugging features for the emulated CPU. Written using Rust, it doesn't do any ROM patching or system call interception, instead aiming for accurate hardware-level emulation.
Download link (Mac, Windows, Linux): https://snowemu.com
Documentation link: https://docs.snowemu.com
Source link: https://github.com/twvd/snow
Release announcement: https://www.emaculation.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12509(Edit: I'm not the author - just spotted this on the Emaculation forum and had to share it!)
(Edit #2: Snow's author, Thomas “twvd" has joined the Fediverse now! Give him a follow at @twvd 👋)

Would anyone here know of any non-test file that uses a standalone `\r` carriage return as a line break?
As far as I can tell, the last system to support these was Mac OS X 10.4 (released 2004), which was the last to include a "Classic Environment" emulator for Classic Mac OS.

Ordered filaments and rest of the electronics from botland have arrived. I'm firing up the printer tomorrow and will be finishing the PiSCSI for Mac SE.

Greetings to the retro computing community. I found an old EtherPrint bridge. I last used it 10+ years ago to connect a LocalTalk printer to an Ethernet network and Mac OS X. I would give it to good home for shipping (from Switzerland). #retrocomputing #localtalk #ethertalk #classicmac
