Is there any way to transmit data through the microphone and headphone ports on a mac? I don't have any way to connect the SCSI HDD to my PC, and serial/ethernet adapters are too expensive. I also accept other alternatives for getting shit into my mac.

software radio on such a small cpu might be difficult/slow
i have found this, though;

there should be a couple compatible modes between them

I'm going to build a Super Socket 7 based Win98 gaming PC with 3dfx Voodoo 3.

I know it's pretty retarded because I used to have AMD K6-2 back in the day and it was damn slow in games but SS7 is so interesting platform because of the wide variety of CPUs available (Intel, AMD, Cyrix, IDT, Rise).

Too bad finding a decent SS7 motherboard seems to be impossible since the prices have reached ridiculous amounts in ebay.

makes me mad I ever sold my K6-2 450 rig. I had it all the way up to 2003, sold it with 256MB RAM, a S3 Savage 4 Pro+, a SBLive, an external SCSI CD burner, and a pair of 9GB AV rated UWSCSI drives.
>>
>>56703062

Your best bet is to burn everything to CD and transfer it that way.

... you DO have a cd/dvd burner of some sort, right?
>>
>>56705546
the cd drive was optional, his might not have one
>>
>>56705580

Apple 1X external SCSI CD drives exist. I used to have one for my old Roland JS-30 sampler. SLow as shit but it works. But, you should be able to hook up any old external SCSI CDROM drive to it plus you could just get an internal SCSI drive (and it's waaaay cheaper than externals these days)

>>
>>56706541

that's the tube itself, as for the device, it's a tektronix 4010 series video graphics terminal
similar to later text terminals which display incoming textual data, but also capable of arbitrary drawing commands, thanks to the aforementioned storage tube display, which doesn't require any framebuffer memory to hold an image

Anyone have any old Sun Microsystems hardware? I really want an old Sparcstation but they are so expensive. A complete system costs as much as a new Xbox One or PS4 once you factor in replacement parts and especially a Sun CRT--even without the screen it's expensive.

I don't know what supports such prices. Is the collectors market really that strong or are they still valued by niche enterprise?

Go for the 1200 if you can find one, if you get a 500 you will soon realize that you want a AGA machine too.
>>
>>56709103
Thanks, what's the difference between 500 and 600? how much better is AGA?
>>
>>56709118
The 600 is newer, ECS chipset, built in hard drive controller, PCMCIA slot, it's also smaller.
There's a bunch of stuff that uses, games, etc, AGA, it's generally better, 256 colors and all that.
>>
>>56709118
AGA is used by some software and games, but not a lot. A 1200 might be easier available/cheaper depending where you are however. The 600 was released as a replacement for the 500, but is in fact more limited.
>>
>>56709230
alright, thanks but they seem to be quite hard to find
>>
>>56709239
Luck and/or money are the only things that will help you.

>>56709233
I see, haven't ever seen one for sale here
>>
>>56709233
>A 1200 might be easier available/cheaper depending where you are however
Don't think that the 1200 would be easier to cheaper to find anywhere then a 500.
>>
>>56709233
>but is in fact more limited
Depends, it's not more limited hardware wise, it's not more limited software wise, it's only more limited by the expansion port that the 500 has on it's side.
The 600 still got fair bunch of expansions like the 500, everything that the 500 got.
>>
>>56709291
1200 didn't sell well and NOS was available for quite a while. You could still get brand new one a few years ago. UK/Germany is drowning in Amiga's.

If rand(1)=1 of course works. Damn, why didn't I write it that way!?! I guess i've not enough practice or my brain is leaking. Btw. If rand(1) doesn't work.
>>
>>56710580
If you have the MID$ available, you could further shrink it to:
1 print mid$("/\",rand(1)+1,1);: goto 1

ok, I'm putting way too much thought into this. Here's an even smaller version of the print statement.
print chr$(47 + rand(1)*45);

I'm going to bed now.

In all this I'm assuming the IC35's implementation of RAND(n) returns an integer from 0 to n.
