Getting started with hacking and development.
Posted by: Guy Madison on 2022-10-30 09:21:11 Hello all, I was able to purchase a MacII ci on eBay, now I need to figure out where to start again. It's just a base MacII ci with a mouse, no keyboard, no display, no networking... Can I get a recommended development setup for hacking? (most likely for NuBus card development) Are the Inside Mac books available in PDF somewhere? I purchased a MacII ci in 1990(?) so I have a bit of an affection for that model, in college I wire-wrapped a couple of NuBus cards and wrote a few drivers / some f-code along the way. I retired from Apple in 2012, I worked on the OS X kernel for years but I have vague memories of System 7 and NuBus. Thanks ahead of time, Guy
Posted by: nightingale on 2022-10-30 12:22:27 All of the Inside Macintosh volumes are still available as a pdf on the apple developer website. I don’t think they’re linked to from anywhere, but if you google the name of the volume you want, it comes up on page one. I have bookmarks for all the ones I use frequently. Probably not a bad idea to save them before apple takes them down like they did with the old software ftp server years ago…
