I just uploaded my first batch of 68k macintosh software to a site I have set up to be old macintosh friendly.

Some of the software includes:

Ircle 1.51
SIMS (E-mail server)
Virtual Desktop
Disifectant
SoftwareFPU
Basic Black (Screensaver)
VNC 68k

I plan to upload more at a later time, as well as put a few old machines I have to work compiling NetBSD pkgsrc packages for easy installation. Also if anyone notices any software there that has a license that restricts me from uploading it to my archive, please let me know promptly so I can remove it. Authors also feel free to contact me about removing your software if you like as well.

This post is slightly related to my last one, but i figured why not take one of my old Macintosh computers for a spin using A/UX?

For anyone who doesn’t know, A/UX was Apple’s attempt at creating a MacOS and UNIX operating system together as one before OSX. While it’s no longer easy to find the origional disks to install the OS, it is possible to find images of them on the net, however, I do not recommend this due to the fact Apple still has every right to scream at you for doing so!

Lucky for me I have a Mac that came with it installed previously, so I’m all set. I’ll be combining my A/UX adventures with my Macintosh 68k archive in the next few weeks, so yet again stay tuned!

Digging around in my closet today I noticed alot of old 68k mac machines. Then I remembered: I have several gigs of 68k mac software hanging around too that I should upload somewhere indexable!

So for the next few weeks whenever I get the chance I’m going to upload all the 68k mac software I have, providing the software has a license that permits it, to a subdomain of this server for everyone to enjoy.

So 68k Macintosh fans: Stay tuned for lots of goodies
