It isn’t usual to read a B-107 to its subject, but I’m going to set you straight. “Insubordinate. Insolent. A trickster. Perhaps with criminal tendencies”.

Apple UNIX Terminals

Filed under: Computers — ben @ 8:28 pm

All this talk lately about using old Apple machines as serial terminals came to a head this weekend when Johan emailed me these links saying “Seen these?”

Not to be outdone I whipped up my own creation and sent him a picture right back :-

That’s NSCA Telnet running on Mac OS System 7. Thinking that serial connections were now old hat I fitted a TCP/IP network card from an old Performa and installed the Apple Open Transport extensions and hey presto, “it just works” :)

Ok I know it’s not rocket science but it whiled away a rainy sunday afternoon.
