So, the only thing I hate more than people forcing me to published unfinished work because they are redoing what I spend nights already doing, is people wasting time doing what I already did…

@kalleboo @me_ What always made me wonder (not having programmed System 6/7 back in the days): There _were_ applications that handled memory allocation dynamically (e.g. some versions of Graphicconverter), and some text editors where I forgot the names, where it was _not_ necessary to adjust the memory allocation for an program in the Finder manually.

This dynamic memory API/functionality capability seemed to be added to System 7 back then. It always occured to me that RAM Doubler was a cure for programs that didn’t use newer APIs but the “old” pre System7 way of allocating memory fixed through settings in the Finder.

But, this is obsevation is deduction and guessing. Would be great to read here from someone with actual knowledge of the memory manager of System 7.

Perhaps @Cdespinosa can help or reach out?

So now I have some things I could sell, but where do I set up online shop?

I've heard #Tindie has several problems (like, not allowing different things in the same order)… I never ordered there, any experience on that ?

#eBay is probably even worse I think…

I've seen mentions of lectronz.com/ also, any comment?

Another option is to install some WordPress + WooCommerce but I already have like 3 or 4 WP installs that are lagging on updates… 😩

Hey all, I ordered a set of new 512k VRAM SIMMs for my Mac LC 475. I've got one of those 10 DIP switch Mac to VGA adapters. It works fine with 512k of VRAM but once I install 1024k I can only get "Input not supported" out of my VGA compatible flat panel displays. Does anyone know how adding VRAM changes video output on the 475? Is it possible to force a 68k Mac into a video safe mode? Thanks! #retrocomputing #mac68k #macintosh #vintagemac

Two sticks of purple VRAM from Silicon Insider.
A Mac to VGA adapter. It's currently set 1458 for a 16 inch multiscan monitor.

New blog post! If you're setting up a BlueSCSI image for your classic Mac, there's lots of little tricks and traps for the first-timer. I'm hoping this entry will make things easier, and you'll also learn how to change your hard drive icon... in Japanese. #retrocomputing #mac68k #bluescsi
