1008com....

Every once in a while I see some really cool software.  One that I like is called "Network time".  It runs under OS 7 and I am running it under 8.1.  It runs on a 68030 and a 68040 and maybe others.
 
Here is a link:

If you post it to your web page, be sure to ad a time clock.  I like the apple one called "time.apple.com".

I actually remember that control panel. But isn't the ability to sync time over the internet built in to OS 8?

I don't currently have a 68k setup to explore this on, but CNN has a text only website. Anyone tried it? http://lite.cnn.io/en

I am not a 8.0 or 8.1 expert at all.  But I did just read the "read me" files for 8.0, 8.1 Opentransport and PPP.  I could not find antyhing about auto the computer time.  It may be, but it was not in the read me files and I found nothing in the control panles to set.....

Their site seems to be serving up the CGI script itself (yes, the source code) right now rather than running it...

Greetings all! To all the users of my Vintage Software Library, please note the URL has changed to:

http://obsolete.macfixer.com/vintage-software/

This will let me implement SSL on my main site without killing the vintage software library for old browsers.

If it's possssssible for you to edit your posts, could ya? The old link redirects now, but one SSL is up and running, old browsers loading the old URL will fail spectacularly.

Edited.

http://vtools.stenoweb.net/ is the site for my project. I need to get with my ISP, to set RDNS, it'll be vtools.68kmla.org eventually.

Also, http://vtools.stenoweb.net/~/ experimenting with individual/personal web spaces.

I'll see about putting a copy of all the links from this thread up on that page.

Are you running the above on a classic Mac?  I found some guy who has been runing a server on a Color Classic.  The thing has been up for years now!

Yes thanks for thinking of us Classic computer users, it is really appreciated 🙂  1008com

without your site i’d had never have been able to my PowerPc up to the level i needed to get it on to Macintosh Garden, but even more importantly your site got my se/30 up and running!

Yes, a Quicksilver 2002, running Mac OS 9.2.2 and ASIP 6.3.3 v1.3.

I've got a couple of gigs of largely system 7 to mac os 9 stuff hanging around on there. The machine is eventually going to receive some additional hard disks.

I intend to allow read-only access to the software and public shares to any forum member who requests an account, and accept donations or other funding or perhaps assistance with other aspects of the project (organization, curation, for example) for access to other aspects, such as a personal home directory, email, web site, etc.

The system will be available via FTP and appleshare.
