You can try adjusting the 5V rail. My own classic has intermittent issues with voltages, where it'll be wobbly, then the 5v rail voltage gets high enough to boot. It'll eventually stabilise and the screen stops shaking. I do need to delve into why mine does this. I recommend this article for...

I used this today to quickly convert a .dsk to a .sit. It's a great tool, thanks

Wow. Thank you very much. I was trying to get this to work earlier this week and failed. This worked perfectly! I can't believe it was so simple

From my personal experience learning how to use Think C and ANSI C, Claude produced the best code, and had the best understanding. I used it as a 'smarter Google'. I can already program, so I'd ask it questions to help me understand the differences from what I know (Java/TS/php). At the time...

I'm not sure how I missed this post. That is very cool. I'm a Java programmer, but I've never touched hardware, so it all seems like witchcraft to me. What's your process for implementing something like this?

That is very cool, great work

I recently got one of these awesome boards https://www.tindie.com/products/feralfirmware/tashtalk-usb/ it's made moving files between my Macintosh Classic and my iMac much easier, and quicker than using FTP. I wanted a little case which would look nice next to my classic. For those who may have...

Hey @eric I was referencing this today http://129.158.56.21/thinkc/Inside%20Mac%20-%20Basic%20Toolbox/667.html it looks like the parsing of the code sample is missing a comment start /* instead it's showing [TOKEN:12074] Below is the same in Think Reference

I had similar issues on my own classic. Leaking capacitor fluid, I reflowed most of the analog board after replacing the caps too. The voltage it was delivering was not 5v. Sometimes if it's cold it'll still take a few seconds for the voltage to climb up enough so that it'll boot. I've never...

A colour Se/30 sounds like an awesome rig.

If you're planning of coding directly on classic hardware, or an emulated classic macintosh, the output will be black and white so syntax colouring won't exist :) It's a massive mindset change to go from a modern IDE to a very small screen which may not even fit the entire method in the screen...

While not using CodeWarrior, I've gotten to grips with coding on my Macintosh Classic using Think C There are various books here. https://vintageapple.org/macprogramming/ I also heavily recommend jcs' website as a resource. https://jcs.org/system6c along with his project amend hub which has...

I am not on the latest, that's a handy feature!

I've been using Snow for the last few weeks to code with Think C. I've been (slowly) developing a Slack client (using a proxy to handle the API requests and send back plain text) on my Macintosh Classic, working on the native hardware was very time consuming. Since Snow emulates network...

I'm a Java/Typescript dev in my day job, who is beginning to program on a Macintosh Classic. Alongside having read several old Mac programming books, I've made use of AI to help me learn the Macintosh toolbox and ANSI C in general. Just like modern code, the answers AI gives me and it's...
