Directory Opus, is the most advanced file management system on the M68k Amiga platform. It has served me for more than a decade and a half
The programmer has also ported this software suite to win64

There are so many things you can do with Directory Opus that you should just get the win64 version yourself and run it in a virtual machine. It's much more than a file manager. Directory Opus is pure joy on the Amiga

As you can see I am the owner of an original version of Directory Opus. DOpus 5 was worth every penny

Is there an equivalent of DOS for 68K? In thinking about this a bit—considering 68K workstations like Mac, Atari ST, Tektronix 4404—i came to realise that i was probably a bit harsh on DOS (i grew up very much in the DOS period, but never had a DOS machine). Like, i love command line, and DOS is a command line available on a very broad range of machines, all x86 based (right?). Was there any sort of semi-portable command line system that was available on any sort of non-x86 architecture? (i'm thinking small, not like UNIX which could run on 68K, or MVS/TSO which ran on IBM mainframes).

[edit: contenders are CP/M-68K (which isn't vaporware), OS-9, and maybe Human68K]

I’m not into Amigas, but I’ve always been interested in their architecture being 68k. Perhaps in the future I may if one crosses my path. However this Amiga A6340 accelerator clocked at 25mhz has a full XC68040RC40 installed! Equivalent of $30 incl shipping. Stoked. Will take better pics once it arrives. #VintageApple #amiga #68k

Got the first alpha of BomberTalk working - a networked Bomberman clone for Classic Mac.

Played a game across a Mac SE (1987), a Performa 6200 (1994), and a Performa 6400 (1995). One C89 codebase, three builds, three machines on the same LAN.

No sprites yet, just coloured blocks. But the networking works - all three find each other and play in sync.

I played a networked Bomberman game across a Mac SE, a Performa 6200, and a Performa 6400. Three machines spanning 1987 to 1995, all talking to each other over TCP and UDP.

16-bit/early-32-bit was my favorite era. (Basically, the #68k era ;)

Computers were just becoming capable, but not too big for their britches.

Free to a good home: A nine-page booklet HyperCard Version 1.2 Update, a single-page addendum to the Macintosh System Software User's Guide, Version 6.0, and the packing list from a Mac Plus, dated 1988.  📮

「 NCR Corporation, in a move to capture an increasing share of the OEM computer market, has announced a new small computer based on the Motorola 68000 microprocessor. The 16-bit multiuser and multitasking computer is called the Tower 1632. It runs an operating system derived from UNIX III and provides data storage with fixed Winchester disk drives 」

Usagi’s New Computer Is A Gas!

[Dave] over at Usagi Electric has a mystery on his hands in the form of a computer. He picked up a Motorola 68000 based machine at a local swap meet.  A few boards, a backplane, and a power supply.…
