I know those IEMs-- that cable is instantly recognisable. KZs?Went to Starbucks with my PowerBook. Did some coding and web browsing while listening to music and trying different things from their menu View attachment 2021552
You guessed right, those are the KZ ZSN Pro X. They are very nice for the price.I know those IEMs-- that cable is instantly recognisable. KZs?
How much power does it use in stand-by?fax-machine, an iBook-G4, is also on standby.
I forgot to ask:
Does VPC emulate an i686-class CPU with the CMOV instruction? This is another requirement for many recent Linux distros.
You can check this in Linux by running
cat /proc/cpuinfo
Does theflags
line containcmov
?
If it doesn't you need to look for distros/OSes that say they work on i586 or lower-class CPUs.
Virtual PC for Windows does not emulate a CPU. It presents the same CPU as the host to the VMs. So unless you're running it on a CPU that doesn't actually have CMOV or SSE you're not going to run into this problem. The rest of the hardware is emulated.I mean VirtualPC for Windows emulates a Pentium 2 or 3 class machine.
Very cool... had no idea images could be send by sound ! What is the soft receiving the image on OS9 ?Made a video of some silly inter-powerpc communication
It's MultiMode from Black Cat Systems - it can decode many digital radio data protocols.Very cool... had no idea images could be send by sound ! What is the soft receiving the image on OS9 ?
MultiMode, Ok thks. something else I'll have to tryIt's MultiMode from Black Cat Systems - it can decode many digital radio data protocols.
TurboGopher in Classic - out of my depth here though, think I need to set formatting up.

Any data can be encoded as audioVery cool... had no idea images could be send by sound !
Well before the days of DRM! That is very cool.This subject reminds me of the old C64 with cassette tape.
Damn it was so easy to copy games......🤣

Could you copy them using the high-speed dubbing some decks had?Damn it was so easy to copy games......🤣
I think so.......🤔Could you copy them using the high-speed dubbing some decks had?
A modem is shorthand for 'modulator/demodulator'. Data is either 0 or 1, which is easily converted to sound and back again. When you send data then, it's sound that is modulated by the modem. When it gets to the destination it is demodulated back into data by the receiving modem. The speed at which a modem does both is the baud rate and 56K modems (56,000 bits per second) were the highest speed reached. You can bond two 56K modems for double the baud rate, but each modem is still maxed at 56K.Very cool ! I do remember saving stuff on a cassette with a Thomson TO7, but wasn't realizing it was sound at the time
So that's how these worked too ?

This is also how fax machines work, and fax modems on computers just send image data.
Well…I wrote it with dial tones in my head.Is it just me, or did I read your post with dial-up tones going through my brain?
Heh!Well…I wrote it with dial tones in my head.
I come from the generation that cut it's teeth on the BBS, modems and war dialing. My first modem was a 300bps modem for my C64 and you called the BBS, waited for the tones and then connected the modem. Anyone else picking up the line after that would hear all the warbling (and your data would drop off).
Fax machines are a little different, they scream instead of warbling.
Heh!
You've got only a few more years experience on me, my friend. I was fortunate enough to have "Internet" in 1997, although we should have had it sooner (Thanks Apple for the original iMac convincing my father about the Internet). Since then I have tried to educate people on the original technologies that actually made Instagram a thing...
