#system6 — Public Fediverse posts

🖥️ Oh, look! Someone reanimated the 80s Mac OS like a digital Frankenstein, minus the Apple brain. 🎩 Because who wouldn't want to endure the charm of pixelated #nostalgia and System 6 crashes without the actual experience of retro hardware? 😂

Such a shame that MarcoMaker never works in Mini vMac or Basilisk II...

Been something I have wanted to try in System 6 for a while now but never works.

EDIT: I finally got it to work! Read the thread

Think InBox - frühes AppleTalk-basiertes Messaging-System von 1986, für Mac 512k und später. Hier in einer Version mit einem „Message Center“ (Server) und drei Clients („Personal Connections“).

Driving me absolutely insane how this, at first glance, seemingly lovingly crafted #MacOS #System6 blanket is a non-integer nearest neighbor resized screenshot. Downright painful to look at...so close, yet so far. https://throwboy.com/products/classic-desktop-knit-cotton-blanket

@vga256 Thanks.
No, not really but the only #68k mac I own nowadays and the first classical mac I've ever owned. So it's also the first time I use #System6.

About 20 years ago I had two maxed out #Quadra950 I sadly threw away.

Got a free #Macintosh #Classic with 4MB RAM. Cleaned the motherboard up with some alcohol and it boots. Installed #System6 on the #bluescsi

Such a nice feeling working with a completely #silent computer like this.

I re-discovered how to enable 32-bit addressing in System 6.

Get ahold of "Optima 32" (I use v2.0 from Macintosh Repository). The .sit archive there is a format that cannot be handled by StuffIt Expander 3.5.1; I worked around this by using unarchiver on Linux and renaming the resultant .rsrc file to match AppleDouble nomenclature.

Drop that in the System folder, change the Finder version resource to 6.1.7 in "vers ID = 1" with ResEdit, reboot, and *done*.
