Software resources for classic Macintosh (system 6/7/8) |
|
|
|
Here are my main sources for (old AND new!) software for classic Macs. |
|
BEWARE: if you use a Gopher browser that doesn't convert https links |
|
(like Lagrange, which is primarily a (very sleek) Gemini browser), you |
|
will not see clickable resources - that's why I always provide the link |
|
in text as well. So better use a REAL Gopher client. I prefer Gophie on |
|
my modern MacOS machine. |

Here we go: |
|
Joshua Klein writes new, modern software on his classic Mac that runs |
|
System 6. He documents and shares a lot of his knowledge and adventures. |
|
Great read and great software. I use his Wikipedia browser, his IRC |
|
client (wallops). He even wrote a complete versioning system for classic |
|
macs, a 'github' for our old machines! He also runs his own BBS on |
|
classic Mac. |
|
His site is https://jcs.org. |

|
A really good source for software is the Macintosh Garden. They even |
|
provide ftp access to their vast collection. |
|
They are on https://macintoshgarden.org. |

|
Closely related (some say it's a clone) to the Macintosh Garden is the |
|
Macintosh Repository. True or not, they even provide their own client |
|
with which you can search and download software on your classic Mac (MR |
|
Browser). Very cool if you have internet access on your vintage machine. |
