techno-archaeology aux: I just published a decoder for Installer VISE archives (mac installers from the 90s). it's a rust crate called unvise, and it's MIT licensed: https://github.com/jpt/unvise

"MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS"

Downloaded it to the #iBook running #MacOS9 and started MacSurf. I could browse sites like #osnews pretty well actually.

Для #MacOS9 нашёлся #VNC, глюкавый до невероятности: коннект переодически отваливается, экран не перерисовывается, цвета куда-то пропали… Но, всё-таки, кое-что и кое как работает

Sadly it looks like enough parts on this are missing that it’s not easily usable. Would sure love to Mac OS 9 again.
