Everyone’s on their Hand386 so I dusted off my PocketChip and look at that, I’m running System 7.5.3 thanks to Mini VMac! It’s delightfully quick!

Could I build Mini VMac for Pocket Chip myself to include the LocalTalk over UDP option?? How hard could it be?! 🤪

After making some really sketchy repository changes and doing an incantation, I got some X11 sources installed and Mini VMac actually compiled without issue!

And look! It’s speaking AppleTalk (UDP) on my network!! Hahaha this is so weird to me. Should I print something to my AppleTalk ImageWriter II from my handheld? 😅

my poor LC 475 from 1993 would probably be slower. Even with the Ethernet card.
