Here's the classic Mac port of Nethack 3.7 I've been working on.

There are still some bugs remaining and some clean up to be done, but I wanted to put this out there for you to play.

It should run on Macs running System 7+ with at least 5 MB of free RAM and a 68020 processor.

@robotspacer Thanks to you and your fellow devs and testers for making #TransferPoint. It was a nice ray to round out #Marchintosh.
@evil4dmin every single year I tell myself that I’ll get an old Mac and join #MARCHintosh and then I always forget!!!

Does anyone remember ObjectSupportLib and the problems it could cause?

let's say, not entirely hypothetically, that we have a ResEdit TMPL. We want to convert it to an MPW Rez types file, so we can DeRez resources instead of mess with the GUI editor. Anyone got a tool handy for this?

@vkc shares some BlueSCSI love in this video - installing LinuxPPC on a 9600 (one of my favorite Macs!)

Linux on a Mac (but it's 1999)

cap ripple disappears with the motherboard load, but switching noise gets worse

~400mv seems like a lot but if it runs it runs, not sure my probing isn't bunk

there's an adjustment for the 5v and R81 says +5V Overcurrent Adjust right on it, and that other pot on the high side regulator card appears to be a high side current limiter

this supply has high side and low side current limiting

let it run for a while, +5v regulation looks pretty good, +12V seems to ride a fixed multiplier off the 5v with even worse ripple and just kinda wanders up and down

they don't seem to have been too worried about it

-12v seems to do its own thing

oh well Quadra goes back on the shelf for now to make room for the next thing until i can find the damn VGA adapter for it...

remembered it had reset and interrupt buttons on the back

moar bongs just to be sure

(kinda thought it would bong louder over the music but didn't want to retake the video)

Okay, I was wrong the other day. Couldn't waste half of an iron-on transfer sheet, so there's one more #MARCHintosh #GlobalTalk Canvas fashion piece up for grabs.

This one is for the iron-on transfer to make one of your garments *infinitely* more fashionable! It's even “keepin' it real,”as I'm sure the kids still say, by coming fresh out of an ImageWriter 🖨️

Reply to this toot with ‘fashion' for a chance to win.

The hat-o-matic will make its decision tomorrow, Friday 3 April.

A few final #marchintosh prints arrived via #GlobalTalk this week. Thank you @virtualoak , @jack68k , and @2kcompliant ! The last two were sent anonymously.
