Re: Classic Macintosh: New TCP/IP and Apps

This is cool, is it based on MacTCP? It might be relevant to this thread that the last few months I’ve been developing a VNC Remote Desktop server for the Macintosh Plus. The idea is that I could control the Mac Plus remotely from another computer, using a RaSCSI as an Ethernet adapter. It’s been sl...

Any expert device driver developers out there?

Hello all, Short Version: I am wondering whether there is anyone out there with experience with writing device drivers on classic Macs? I have encountered a strange situation where a device driver (a desk accessory, really), keeps getting periodically flushed from the Device Manager's list of active...

Re: Mouse & Shared folder

It doesn't seem like I can attach files here, but I was able to get the desktop icon to show up by making the following changes in ResEdit: - Created a new BNDL resource (I did this in the INIT, but it should be done in the resource used for the build) - Set the Signature field to USBT - Selected &q...

Re: Mouse & Shared folder

The icon shows when the extensions are loaded during boot. It does not appear in the System Extensions folder though, there “USB Tablet INIT” shows a blank icon as before. In order for the icon to show up on the desktop, you need to set a unique creator for the file, then add a BNDL, FREF, and crea...

Just curious, which sample did you end up using? The ChromiVNC or the Extension Shell?

Re: Mouse & Shared folder

Another piece of code which *DEFINITELY* is PowerPC compatible is ChromiVNC https://web.archive.org/web/20070209043056/http://www.chromatix.uklinux.net/vnc/ Inside the source directory there is an INIT, called vncPatches.c. They specifically say that INIT does not work under 68k, so it has to be PPC...

Re: Mouse & Shared folder

I have recently come across an INIT starter project for CW8. It appears as if it might be PPC compatible. It is called "extensionshell1.4.sit.hqx" and you can download it from here: It seems to be 68k exclusive. Is it though? There are bits of code like: #ifndef powerc SetA4(oldA4); #endi...

No worries! I still have the source code for a lot of those XCMDs. Which ones did you use?

Thanks you for your effort and your posts in the other thread. I’m curious whether kanjitalk755 can use it. I was very active in the 90s writing Shareware, and I archived *all* my files, so I got tons of code samples doing all sorts of fairly sophisticated things like INITs, CDEVs, XCMDs, etc. I co...

Re: Server mode Ethernet in Basillisk II not working

I wonder how hard it would be to just create a virtual second monitor for the Plus via SCSI port, and in reality make it an Arduino or rPi board that takes the framebuffer data and presents it as a VNC session....

It looks like you use that code and then you declare the following two routines elsewhere to do the actual work: int EventInit(Boolean *ShowIcon) { // Initialize your stuff here, return TRUE if you want the system traps to be installed return TRUE; } int EventTrap(Boolean isEvent, EventRecord *TheEv...

Unfortunately the samples are not suitable. It should continue to receive null events until the OS shuts down. Here is some old code I managed to dig up.
