| CAD for a 512ke |
Posted by: John8520 on 2010-01-20 14:21:29
Do any CAD programs for this era machines exist? I'm taking a drafting class at the community college and have been on a bit of a CAD/Drawing bender duplicating some of the things we've drawn in class and it occurred to be that doing CAD on a 512ke (and then printing on the IWII) would be incredibly cool.
I'm aware of MacDraw though that's not exactly the same as what I'm looking for.

There should be. Have a look here: http://macgui.com/downloads/?cat_id=272

ClarisCAD sounds incredibly promising. I suppose I should set up my Centris 650 to actually floppify this stuff though, heh!

Aw bummer - I got ClarisCAD 1.04 from that site (it was a ~650KB sit) and it expanded into a 1.9MB DMG. Not exactly something I can work with on a centris 650, or something small enough for a 512ke... Back to looking.

It's from 1989, so it has a fair chance of working. I can send you the files if you want.

Yeah, if you've got a good way to get the files out of the DMG - presumably that stuff could be split across three 700k disks for the 512ke. That'd be great.

Well, since I'm on an OS X machine now, I do! OK.

1985Diehl Graphsoft, Inc. is founded and the first version of MiniCAD is shipped in the same year. MiniCAD will become the best selling CAD program on the Macintosh. something to look for...

Thanks. It looks like ClarisCAD is meant for the SE/30 and newer machines. The main application file was 1.1 MB.
