Re: MCL 3.4 for Mac-on-a-stick?

I'd be very interested in this as well.  In fact, I'd love a copy of  
MCL 1.0 or 1.1 or something as early as possible to run on MOAS.

MCL 3.4 for Mac-on-a-stick?

I'd like to try out the legendary MCL environment, but I don't have a Mac and have had no experience with one. I
have managed to get installed a Mac-on-a-stick implementation, which uses the Mini vMac emulator to give
you a portable Mac System 7.0.1.

Now it seems that all I need is MCL 3.4. Any advice on where to get a copy? Also, possible problems running it on MOAS?

Cheers

I might have my Coral disks somewhere, but even if they still work I 
think that was System 5 or 6...

Re: MCL 3.4 for Mac-on-a-stick?

I just got my hands on the MCL 5.1 distribution, which includes  
2.0.1.  Haven't tried it yet, but will soon...

Wow, that's a blast from the past.  I guess the next question is  
whether you have any way to get the bits off of them!

Re: MCL 3.4 for Mac-on-a-stick?

I found my copy of the 4.3 disk. 2.0.1 definitely works. It wasn't  
difficult to set up on OS X, either.

Photographic evidence: http://www.quicksnapper.com/chandler/image/mcl-2-0-1-on-vmac-running-system-7-0-1

I don't know if anything newer will run with only 4MB of RAM. The  
largest blank preformatted disk on the Mini vMac site is 24M, and  
after installing 7.0.1 I didn't even have enough space to extract 3.0.

Nope.  But surely USB floppy drives can't be that hard to come by even  
now.

Don't give up hope, but you might have trouble finding a USB floppy
drive that will read Mac double density disks. I've used drives in the
past that don't seem to like anything but MFM disks. It might be easier
to find someone with an old Mac with a SuperDrive that can make images
for you.

I actually have an old Quadra in the garage, but digging it out and  
setting it up would be a chore.  How badly do people want this?
