does it not work for you?
it should bring up a video of a zx printer running from a zx81 printing the entry list for the warm-up.
as an aside - i am doing quite well thanks - glad the holidays are passed ad things are returning to normal.
that said i have a very nice xmas/new year.
things grand with you i hope.

There *is* a lot of good interactive fiction out there, but a whole month? I'd be afraid of burn out. I'd be tempted to create a page documenting what IF development and runtime setups work with system 6 and/or 7?
I mean, I doubt you can develop Inform 7 on a mac plus, but you should be able to play an Inform 7 game right? I love IF enough to avoid a burn out (i hope).
i can't be 100% sure about the plus but i have a se/30 that has never had any problem with any IF I've tried. I haven't tried to write anything myself however.
making a howto for people that want to use IF on a compact does seem like a nice idea however.
still... using only my olivetti for a month still seems like more of a challenge. i just don't know how i will keep a journal

Looks like a good turnout! I'm spending the next two weeks on my honeymoon, which means no Mac geekery for me, but have fun everyone! 🙂 You got a camera and a laptop right?

LOL!!
But it needs to be a Mac Duo connected to a mid-nineties quicktime camera.

I persuaded the Talking Moose to come out of retirement and wish everyone luck at the half way point.

I'm late, but I am busy making HELLO WORLD programs for the original Apple 1. Although I am cheating because I don't actually have an original Apple 1 computer. There aren't many around, so I built "Isaac" an Apple 1 emulator that runs on my slightly retro iBook to run the programs.

I'm late, but I am busy making HELLO WORLD programs for the original Apple 1. I noticed your first program a few days ago. Nice work. I think small assembler apps are a lot of fun to write. I'm going to have to go find a cheat sheet for those mnemonics.

I've got a 25-diode 3-bit adder designed, but I haven't been able to test it at the system clock because I blew up my function generator's 50-/600-ohm output stage while measuring a 2N2222 switching speed (one of the hazards of testing with non-standard logic levels).
I've repaired most of the output stage, only two 1/4W resistors in the emitter followers were so toasted I have no idea what their original values might have been (they were charred, as was the circuit board underneath). I have to trace out the schematic and figure out what their values should be.

Will you post a schematic of your design?

My new favorite RetroChallenge result...... Nice work MacTV 😉 For the record, that's not MacTV's handiwork... it's a picture he posted as an example of what not to do.

Will you post a schematic of your design? Sure, when it's functioning. I just got my function generator working again yesterday, and that's what has been holding me up.

Hi, All
Real Cool Web Site 😎 .
Well I have been retro computing for the last 5 years daily.
I work for a small company as the IT person and have kept the retro
network going, which is a DOS server running Novell Netware 3.2 and
5 workstations running Windows95. Server is a 350mhz Compaq,
workstations are 233mhz off-brands. We have just upgraded to newer
Dell gx270's and XP and have spend this month getting the old
software to run under XP and have just succeeded.
At hone I keep a fully loaded A/V 6400/200 on my network with an
600mhz Imac and a 3gig pc.
I also have a Packard Bell XT, Tandy 1000lt, 386sx machine and a
Mac Plus with a modem to access the internet, all of which is running fine.

Nice job Equant.
However - in the "About" menu, under the Apple - it says About RCWW2007 instead of 2008.
Then again, I'm sure my Talking Moose version slaughtered the pronunciation of people's names and nicknames.
I'm bummed I didn't get a single comment about it though.

However - in the "About" menu, under the Apple - it says About RCWW2007 instead of 2008. Ah bugger! I'm so bad about things like that. I just wanted to get something posted! I guess I *should* fix it.
I'm bummed I didn't get a single comment about it though. Not only that, I commented on something of yours and made it clear I didn't even read your blog post! 😉
I appreciate your nod of recognition. Maybe not completely gratifying, but you were named in my post about my app. Anyway, it was a blast to see the moose after many many years.
