After a few tries I was able to fully print from Quark XPress to the ImageWriter II over #AppleTalk with the #AirTalk from the #PocketChip! It wasn’t quick but it worked!

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? 😅

How about browsing the ✨ Internet ✨ on the emulated Mac? 😅

Using MacIPGW here for MacIP. Writing up a blog post about all of this later today!

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!

I couldn’t resist any further and got one of those mini BTLE thermal printers. I didn’t get the cat printer so I added googly eyes to it for some personality. It’s definitely a mood 😅

And what better things to print than #VintageMac ephemera 🥰 #MARCHintosh

Ps I blame @billgoats

New post! I documented my weekend efforts to run #Rust on classic Mac OS in case it's useful to others or if anyone has ideas of additional things to try.

Trying to Run Rust on Classic Mac OS

I recently acquired a Power Macintosh 9500/150 and after cleaning it up and building a BlueSCSI to replace the failed hard drive it’s now in a semi-operational state.
