>> If my friend finds any, I'll let you know. OK, thanks. I'll be looking too. -Mitch
>> The Macintosh editor on the magazine for which I write here in >> Belgium has just received a C-64 emulator for the Mac/PowerPC! Yeah, I have that. Know where I can find and software to run on it? -Mitch
I don't know about AFE. I use PC Exchange, and with it, you can open up the disk just as if it were a Mac formatted disk. You can run files from it, copy file from or to it, and otherwise use files on the disk as you would any…
You're welcome. About that file called !MACCRYS.TAL. Don't worry about it. It's just a text file I forgot to take off the disk befor I zipped it. The file is available in the Mac new users forum lib 7 now [DOS2BH.ZIP]. It has a README and a batch file to…
>> it is now emulating the MMU properly (we hope), so we'll start testing >> out OS/2 and it's memory protection. 🙂 Oh yes! This is getting better all the time. If it could run OS/2, and at least as fast as my DX-40, I'd be in heaven. -Mitch
>> As Jonathan so properly put it, "we are out to unseat" Insignia. Our >> 486DX emulation is being written in 100% PPC RISC assembly. Well, they need some competition. Good luck, and if you have a mailing list, put me on it. -Mitch
I'm e-mailing you a zip file. Put a dos formated disk in drive a: then unzip this file with the command: pkunzip -d binhex.zip a: This assumes a 3.5" drive is a:. If it's b: use that, of course. I tested it, and it worked over here. I even tried…
>> Thanks for the info. Would I find that in the Mac or DOS sections >> here? Regards, Phil COmbs Both, I think. I have a listing that shows ver. 3.1 in MACCOM LIB 8. The version I have is 4.0b. I don't know if the latest version is there.…
Re: Chicken/Egg situation There is a DOS program called macsee [shareware] which will do the translation for you. The non-registered version will only allow you to process files 16k and under, but that is big enough to do BinHex. -Mitch
>> If it's a Mac-format file on a PC-formatted disk, would I _want_ to >> strip of the Mac header? Well I was kind of over simplifying, but yes. Mac files have a resource fork and a data fork. Other systems know nothing about them and the files just get…
>> I believe ARM is the company supplying the processor used in the >> Apple Newton. Apple is also an investor in the firm, if this is the one >> I'm thinking of. Yes. They the 3DO machine also uses an ARM processor. -Mitch
>> Is there a way to turn off the translation, and simply copy the file >> verbatim from the PC-format disk onto the Mac? There is a progam called BinHex that will strip the Mac Binary header out of the file, then it should work fine. Mac comm programs know…
>> Btw, what on earth -is- a dust bunny? * Dust Bunny: Dust bunnies burrow in obscure corners and under furniture, and defend their territory by multiplying. They can clog a passgeway in seconds, filling the air with dark suffocating particles. Static electricity and lemon-scented sprays are their only natural…

I'll be sending you my dust bunny collection then. No need to thank me. -Mitch

>> I would think those would be a "worse" case power consumption. You >> could get an IDE HD in there and still not max out the supply, however. Yes, I just wonder how much headroom the gave themselves. >> So, does anyone still carry the A600? Or have they…

>> And where do they lurk at…Topeka, San Francisco, Tigard, Albuqerque? Last time I saw them they took a left turn at Albuqerque… or was that they grabbed the last train for the coast. The day the music died. -Mitch
I had an internal NEC drive that failed also. I'm not sure why but my computers fan was sucking a lot of air through it, and it was getting pretty dusty inside. Now I am using a CDR-74 external. -Mitch
8x = internal 7x = external I had an 84j, it had no dust door. -Mitch

[>> Continued from previous msg] kind of interface it will include. -Mitch
Tony, the PAS-16 only comes with a SCSI interface. I'm not sure about the package you refer to, but I bought a kit from MediaVison which contained the following: NEC CDR-84J PAS-16 sound card Comptons MM encyclopedia Action! (an out dated version) Kings Quest V One of those Nautalus CDs…
