On Multitasking
Sharing a Computer with Friends

The Motorola 68030 was a decently powerful microprocessor for its day. It is a fully 32-bit processor with 16 general-purpose registers, separate instruction & data caches, memory management unit, 18 addressing modes, over 100 instructions, pipelined architecture, and was available rated up to 50MHz. It was used in computers by Apple, Amiga, NeXT, Sun, Atari, and saw further life embedded in devices such as printers, oscilloscopes, and network switches. It was the kind of microprocessor used for desktop publishing, 3D CAD & animation, photo & video editing, etc.
In short, the 68030 is a microprocessor that can do some serious work. That's part of why I like it so much. It's a real workhorse chip but as far as 32-bit microprocessors go, it's dead simple to build with.
But running a single quick & simple BASIC program hardly seems like an adequate exercise for such a capable chip.
There is a prevailing claim that the 68000 architecture was heavily inspired by that of the PDP-11 or VAX minicomputers — powerhouses of the previous generation of computing. These machines ran entire businesses, at times servicing many simultaneous users. Surely the 68030 with similar capabilities but significantly faster instruction throughput than the decade-older machines would be more than capable of handling such a workload.
As I've mentioned before, one of my end goals for my 68030 projects is to run a proper operating system. Something like System V, BSD, or Linux; a true multi-user system befitting of the 68k's architectural heritage. My programming skills are limited, and getting such a complex project running is still outside my reach. But I am learning, and slowly inching myself closer to that goal.
Recently I built an expansion card for my Wrap030 project to add another four serial ports to it. In the context of the old minicomputers, another serial port means another terminal, which means the ability to serve one more user. My new 4-port serial card should give me the ability to add four new user terminals.
If only I had software capable of doing so.
Excluding symmetric multiprocessing and today's multi-core behemoths, supporting multiple user processes on a single computer processor means dividing time between them. The computer will run one user's program for a little while, then stop and run another user's program for a little while. Do this fast enough and neither user might ever notice that the computer is paying attention to someone else — especially since the computer spends much of its time just waiting for user input.
There are a few ways to accomplish this, but the simplest is to just make sure that every user program is written to cooperate with the others and periodically yield to the next user program ("Cooperative Multitasking"). A good time to do this is whenever the program needs to wait for input from the user or wait for a device to be ready to accept output.
Enhanced BASIC (68k EhBASIC), which I have been running on all of my 68k computer builds, was written in such a way that lends itself well to this sort of cooperative multitasking. It runs a tight loop when waiting for input or output, and while running a BASIC program, it stops at the end of each line to see if the user has pressed Ctrl-C to stop the program. This means that EhBASIC never goes too long without needing to check in with slow I/O devices. All that would needed is a simple kernel to set things up and switch to another user's processes whenever each time one of them is waiting for I/O.
So I set about creating such a minimal multi-user kernel. On startup, it initializes hardware, sets up some data tables for keeping track of what each user program is doing, loads BASIC into RAM, then starts running BASIC for that first user. Whenever a user process needs to read data from or write data to its terminal, it asks the kernel to handle that I/O task for it. The kernel will save the state of the user program to the data table it set up in the beginning, then switch to the next user to let it run until it too asks for assistance with an I/O task.
The kernel works through all user processes round-robin until it loops back around to the first user. After restoring the state of the user's process the kernel will service the I/O task that user process had originally requested, and return to let that user process run for a little while again. So all of the other user processes get their chance to run while one is waiting on data, and each process makes sure to allow the others a chance to run for a while when they are in the middle of running their own program.
I was able to throw together a quick proof of concept using the EASy68K simulator. What followed was days of catching all of the tiny mistakes I made, such as saving register A0 to the memory location reserved for register A1, overwriting the value previously saved for A1 and effectively losing both in the process — an error which resulted in BASIC printing only the first three characters of its startup header followed by a long string of null characters.
Tumblr media
Debugging was tricky. I was starting from the bottom. No standard library, no existing structure or frameworks to rely on. The kernel process relied on the very same registers the user programs were using. Any changes to register contents by the kernel would affect the user processes. I ended up adding assembly macros to print short statements and register contents to the kernel console to try to get some insight into what was happening. I was able to track when registers came out of the user context save/restore process different than when they went in to find where I had bugs in that process.
This was a challenging project resulting in nearly a thousand lines of very low-level 68k assembly code, all of which I wrote and rewrote multiple times before figuring everything out. I've written small pieces of assembly code over the years, but none which required such deep dives into the CPU documentation to discern fine details of how the chip operates. I got there eventually though and now I have an 8MHz 68030 homebrew computer with 2MB of RAM that can run four BASIC programs simultaneously.
I'm going to need more terminals.

The Macintosh Plus computer is the third model in the Macintosh line, introduced on January 16, 1986, two years after the original Macintosh and a little more than a year after the Macintosh 512K, with a price tag of US$2599. As an evolutionary improvement over the 512K, it shipped with 1 MB of RAM standard, expandable to 4 MB, and an external SCSI peripheral bus, among smaller improvements. It originally had the same generally beige-colored case as the original Macintosh ("Pantone 453"), however in 1987, the case color was changed to the long-lived, warm gray "Platinum" color. It is the earliest Macintosh model able to run System 7 OS.
Bruce Webster of BYTE reported a rumor in December 1985: "Supposedly, Apple will be releasing a Big Mac by the time this column sees print: said Mac will reportedly come with 1 megabyte of RAM ... the new 128K-byte ROM ... and a double-sided (800K bytes) disk drive, all in the standard Mac box". Introduced as the Macintosh Plus, it was the first Macintosh model to include a SCSI port, which launched the popularity of external SCSI devices for Macs, including hard disks, tape drives, CD-ROM drives, printers, Zip Drives, and even monitors. The SCSI implementation of the Plus was engineered shortly before the initial SCSI spec was finalized and, as such, is not 100% SCSI-compliant. SCSI ports remained standard equipment for all Macs until the introduction of the iMac in 1998, which replaced most of Apple's "legacy ports" with USB.
The Macintosh Plus was the last classic Mac to have a phone cord-like port on the front of the unit for the keyboard, as well as the DE-9 connector for the mouse; models released after the Macintosh Plus would use ADB ports.
The Mac Plus was the first Apple computer to utilize user-upgradable SIMM memory modules instead of single DIP DRAM chips. Four SIMM slots were provided and the computer shipped with four 256K SIMMs, for 1MB total RAM. By replacing them with 1MB SIMMs, it was possible to have 4MB of RAM. (Although 30-pin SIMMs could support up to 16MB total RAM, the Mac Plus motherboard had only 22 address lines connected, for a 4MB maximum.)
It has what was then a new ​3 1⁄2-inch double-sided 800 KB floppy drive, offering double the capacity of floppy disks from previous Macs, along with backward compatibility. The then-new drive is controlled by the same IWM chip as in previous models, implementing variable speed GCR. The drive was still completely incompatible with PC drives. The 800 KB drive has two read/write heads, enabling it to simultaneously use both sides of the floppy disk and thereby double storage capacity. Like the 400 KB drive before it, a companion Macintosh 800K External Drive was an available option. However, with the increased disk storage capacity combined with 2-4x the available RAM, the external drive was less of a necessity than it had been with the 128K and 512K.
The Mac Plus has 128 KB of ROM on the motherboard, which is double the amount of ROM in previous Macs; the ROMs included software to support SCSI, the then-new 800 KB floppy drive, and the Hierarchical File System (HFS), which uses a true directory structure on disks (as opposed to the earlier MFS, Macintosh File System in which all files were stored in a single directory, with one level of pseudo-folders overlaid on them). For programmers, the fourth Inside Macintosh volume details how to use HFS and the rest of the Mac Plus's new system software. The Plus still did not include provision for an internal hard drive and it would be over nine months before Apple would offer a SCSI drive replacement for the slow Hard Disk 20. It would be well over a year before Apple would offer the first internal hard disk drive in any Macintosh.
A compact Mac, the Plus has a 9-inch (23 cm) 512 × 342 pixel monochrome display with a resolution of 72 PPI, identical to that of previous Macintosh models. Unlike earlier Macs, the Mac Plus's keyboard includes a numeric keypad and directional arrow keys and, as with previous Macs, it has a one-button mouse and no fan, making it extremely quiet in operation. The lack of a cooling fan in the Mac Plus led to frequent problems with overheating and hardware malfunctions.
The applications MacPaint and MacWrite were bundled with the Mac Plus. After August 1987, HyperCard and MultiFinder were also bundled. Third-party software applications available included MacDraw, Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint, as well as Aldus PageMaker. Microsoft Excel and PowerPoint (originally by Forethought) were actually developed and released first for the Macintosh, and similarly Microsoft Word 1 for Macintosh was the first time a GUI version of that software was introduced on any personal computer platform. For a time, the exclusive availability of Excel and PageMaker on the Macintosh were noticeable drivers of sales for the platform.
The case design is essentially identical to the original Macintosh. It debuted in beige and was labeled Macintosh Plus on the front, but Macintosh Plus 1 MB on the back, to denote the 1 MB RAM configuration with which it shipped. In January 1987 it transitioned to Apple's long-lived platinum-gray color with the rest of the Apple product line, and the keyboard's keycaps changed from brown to gray. In January 1988, with reduced RAM prices, Apple began shipping 2- and 4- MB configurations and rebranded it simply as "Macintosh Plus." Among other design changes, it included the same trademarked inlaid Apple logo and recessed port icons as the Apple IIc and IIGS before it, but it essentially retained the original design.
An upgrade kit was offered for the earlier Macintosh 128K and Macintosh 512K/enhanced, which includes a new motherboard, floppy disk drive and rear case. The owner retained the front case, monitor and analog board. Because of this, there is no "Macintosh Plus" on the front of upgraded units, and the Apple logo is recessed and in the bottom left hand corner of the front case. However, the label on the back of the case reads "Macintosh Plus 1MB". The new extended Plus keyboard could also be purchased. Unfortunately, this upgrade cost almost as much as a new machine.
The Mac Plus itself can be upgraded further with the use of third-party accelerators. When these are clipped or soldered onto the 68000 processor, a 32 MHz 68030 processor can be used, and up to 16 MB RAM. This allows it to run Mac OS 7.6.1.
There is a program available called Mini vMac that can emulate a Mac Plus on a variety of platforms, including Unix, Windows, DOS, classic Mac OS, macOS, Pocket PC, iOS and even Nintendo DS.
Although the Macintosh Plus would become overshadowed by two new Macintoshes, the Macintosh SE and the Macintosh II in March 1987, it remained in production as a cheaper alternative until the introduction of the Macintosh Classic on October 15, 1990. This made the Macintosh Plus the longest-produced Macintosh ever, having been on sale unchanged for 1,734 days, until the 2nd generation Mac Pro, introduced on December 19, 2013, surpassed the record on September 18, 2018. (it would ultimately last for 2,182 days before being discontinued on December 10, 2019) It continued to be supported by versions of the classic Mac OS up to version 7.5.5, released in 1996. Additionally, during its period of general market relevance, it was heavily discounted like the 512K/512Ke before it and offered to the educational market badged as the "Macintosh Plus ED". Due to its popularity, long life and its introduction of many features that would become mainstays of the Macintosh platform for years, the Plus was a common "base model" for many software and hardware products.

Linux Life Episode 47
Tumblr media
Hello once again and welcome back to Linux Life. Well since our last episode I have upgraded the graphics card in the i7 desktop from the GT 630 that was in there to a more modern GTX 1030 although both have 2GB texture memory the 1030 has GDDR5 and many more graphic units the 630 had 64 the 1030 has 512 so a much faster card overall.
The reason I got the GTX 1030 was it was capable of Vulkan as it’s a DX12 compatible card which the GT 630 wasn’t.  So many more games are playable now.  Not that I am a huge games player but I do like to have an odd game or two now and again.
Tumblr media
So major graphics upgrade meant I tried a few games obviously I tried a few of the native Steam games and sure enough they work fine.  Things look good in things like Castlevania Lords of Shadow.
OK on to more daring moves.  I used to play Unreal Tournament 2004 a lot in the olden days when I used to play regularly.  I was never good at FPS games but an occasional blast is fun.  So I know Unreal Tournament 4 is free to download but obviously it uses the Epic Launcher which is Windows and Mac only at the moment.
Tried running it with Wine it failed to install.  So off I went looking around the net apparently UT4 has a Linux test application which is 10GB of download.  So I downloaded it read the thread on how to install it and run it.
Sure enough I now can play Unreal Tournament 4 on Antergos.  I have yet to play it online but I am sure having fun getting my skills back with the bots.  
Tumblr media
With that under my belt I went one step further... As I mentioned earlier this new card has Vulkan capability.  So I downloaded Lutris and decided to try Path of Exile.  I am a sucker for a good Diablo-style game.  I spent hours with Diablo, Diablo II, Torchlight and Torchlight 2.
Now I tried PoE in its early days in Windows and it was quite fun but got sidetracked and never played it again.  It has vastly improved since I last played it.
I also had to install DXVK which is a tool which converts Direct X calls into Vulkan instructions so Linux can run these games.
So I download the script, install the game using it and set it to go.  I wish I had checked the script as it set the desktop on PoE to 1920x1024 and it was off the edge of my screen.
A few tweaks later I have it running full screen at 1280x960 and I can now see all of the screen.  I also turned off the FPS counter as to be honest I don’t really care.
However the mouse on the menu I have to move under the item I want by quite a bit to select it which is odd.  I get the game going and the mouse is fine in game until I open my inventory screen.  Once again the mouse pointer is out of sync regarding objects.
It seemed it was am issue as the game was not running in full screen.  It still has issues but I can at least correct it.  Bit fiddly but it can be done.  Not ideal but playable once it is sorted.
Moving away from games I have been playing with the Hatari emulator.  I admit, I never owned an Atari machine of any era.  Not at all.  I have used many of them due to other people owning them but I myself have never actually had any.
Now Hatari is an ST/TT/Falcon emulator.   So I managed to get the basic ST setup and games running which is pretty standard and easy to do.  However I decided to attempt running a Falcon Demo.
Having never used a Falcon or a TT but a bit of a read through the manual I tried to run a 68060 demo which I did not get manage to get it working.  However I did manage to get a 68030 demo running.
I have an i7 3770K with 24GB of memory and it struggled to run the demo without frame skipping.
What is odd is I can run an Amiga emulator such as FS-UAE, as a 68030 with no major performance hit so why does Hatari struggle.  Especially since I believe both FS-UAE and Hatari use the UAE core base for their 68K series emulation.  So they should be comparative but not the case.
However I do admit I think the major slowdown factor was having to emulate the Falcon DSP sound processing as opposed to the issue of the processor emulation.  Sound emulation is always a headache in any major project involving emulators and is always one of the last things implemented as it takes a lot of work to get right.
So I may be able to forgive Hatari in that respect as in time someone will figure out the DSP stuff to be optimized.
Well I think that’s enough for this episode.  So until next time... Take care.

2004 imac operating system
Tumblr media
2004 IMAC OPERATING SYSTEM FOR MAC
2004 IMAC OPERATING SYSTEM MAC OS X
2004 IMAC OPERATING SYSTEM MANUALS
AppleScript is part of today’s Automator and offers a way to automate operating system and app functions.Ībout this time, Apple started using PowerPC processors in the Mac line. It was a big improvement over earlier versions, offering more stability, virtual memory support, cooperative multitasking through MultiFinder, and the AppleScript scripting language. Of all of the original System releases, I remember System 7 as being the most long-lived. System 6 also brought support for the Motorola 68030 CPU and the 1.44MB SuperDrive floppy. That bootable diskette was a direct ancestor of the Disk Utility we still use today. One of these diskettes, “Disk Utilities 1”, came with Disk First Aid and HD SC Setup.
2004 IMAC OPERATING SYSTEM MANUALS
For $49, users got three manuals and four diskettes. System 5 and 6Īpple began charging for operating system upgrades with System 5. ADB also worked with adapters to connect Macs to AppleTalk networks. It also supported Apple Desktop Bus, used for many years to connect keyboards, mice, and other devices. System 4.1 was notable in that it supported the Motorola 68020 CPU, expansion slots, and color display of the Macintosh II. System 3 brought 800K startup drives, SCSI for connectivity to scanners, printers, and storage, AppleShare (early networking and file sharing). For example, System 2 brought multiple folders and screenshots (Command – Shift – 3), while System 2.1 added support for the Apple Hard Disk 20 (that’s 20MB, not GB…). System 1 through System 4 (1987) offered a few enhancements along the way. Overlapping, resizable windows the Finder, folders, a mouse-controlled pointer, the Trash can, and the top menu bar anchored by the Apple icon. In the two years that the Lisa was on the market, it sold only 10,000 units.Īs crude as the System 1 desktop looks in the screenshot above, it introduced many concepts that still exist in macOS today. Apple had released the Lisa with a GUI in 1983, but it was ridiculously expensive ($9,995, equivalent to almost $26,000 in 2020 dollars), slow, and used unreliable floppy disks coupled with a 5 MB hard disk drive. It was the first popular consumer OS to use a graphical user interface. For those of us who were around at the time the first Mac was released, System 1 was a revolutionary operating system.
2004 IMAC OPERATING SYSTEM MAC OS X
On that day, twenty years ago, Apple introduced the next generation of the Mac operating system – Mac OS X 10.0 “Cheetah.” The introduction was no small matter, as it marked a change in how Macs work that remains up to this day with macOS 11 “Big Sur.” Let’s take a look at the history of Mac operating systems from 1984 until now, starting with the “Classic” operating system introduced in 1984 and ending with Big Sur.Īt the beginning (1984), there was System 1.
2004 IMAC OPERATING SYSTEM FOR MAC
March 24, 2001, was a banner day for Mac users.

Well it’s not going to win any beauty pageants but the #MacIntosh IIci deserves a little love for being the long-lived business workhorse of the Macintosh line. Manufactured by #Apple Computers from 1989 to 1993 and retailing for a substantial $8,798 USD ($18,793 today) the #IIci was powered by the #Motorola 68030 processor, 40-80 MB #HDD and 1-4 MB (up to 128 MB) of RAM. The IIci #ROM also has an interesting #easteregg where if you set the date to September 20, 1989 (it’s release date) and hold down the Command+Option+C+I keys during boot time an image of the development team will be displayed!

Day 13 : Apple Macintosh machines I would like to own...
Hello ladies and gentlemen, here we are at Day 13 of the daily blog challenge which is ongoing through the month of January.
As the topic says I am looking at Apple machines I would like to own.  I have never been a large collector of Apple products but I do own three Macs currently.  I own an Indigo iMac G3, a Powerbook 1400 CS and a 2006 Mac Pro (upgraded to X5355 Quad Core Xeons).
However there is various machines I would like to get hold of ...
Tumblr media
1. Apple Mac G4 Cube
I used to own a 2002 Quicksilver G4 Mac and I admit I have always found the G4 machines to be far more useful than the G3.
They also are less power hungry than the G5 and far more reliable than those evil machines.  I really never want another G5 as long as I live.  Anyway I'm drifting off course.
I remember seeing the G4 Cube in a computer store in Tottenham Court Road, London.  It looked so cool.  I remember thinking it was a great aesthetically looking machine.  I think it also included the Harman Kardon speaker set with it which added further elements of style.
The G4 Cube is definitely not a fast machine if I remember.  If you want a decent G4 go for the Mac Mini or MDD models.
Tumblr media
2. Mac Classic
I have always wanted a Mac Classic but I refuse to pay the silly prices they now go for.
There is something about having the original 1984 Mac which started Apple onto the main road.
Normally these machines need a lot of work to get them working and probably require constant maintenance to keep them running.
The design is an absolute Classic and even though the 9" screen is black and white only and the 4MB is your absolute limit when it comes to memory.  Not forgetting it's a 68000 running at 8Mhz.
I would probably just use it as word processor but thats because I'm weird.  
It's just something I would love to own as I consider it a piece of computing history.
Tumblr media
3.  Color Classic (Mystic upgraded)
Moving on from the original Classic to probably one of my favourite macs when it came out.
It was like most of the Apple products far out of my price range.
Now the Color Classic is one machine I have actually used due to setting one up for display for the Museum of Computing, in Swindon.
The machine has a crisp 10" Colour Sony Trinitron display and is really quite a nice machine to use. The machine comes with a 68030 processor and maxes out at 10MB of RAM.
However to get the best out of the Color Classic it is recommended to do the "Mystic" upgrade.  Basically you take the motherboard  from a LC 575 machine modify it slightly to sort out graphic compatability.  I believe that's done by adding or removing certain resistors.
Then the machine is upgraded to 68LC040 running at 33Mhz and can take up to 36MB of RAM.  It is even better if you can update the LC to a full 68040 as I believe you can get it up 66Mhz that way.
This increases the machine speed by multiple times (some say upto 5x)so it's definitely worth doing.  However I do believe LC 575 boards are getting harder to come by.
Color Classics are equally not the easiest machines to find outside the US as they were not huge selling machines in the rest of the world.
Tumblr media
4.  MacBook Pro 15" i7 laptop
I really have a soft spot for Intel i7 machines.  I own an i7 3700K desktop machine.  I own a Dell M6800 laptop with an i7 4310QM and my previous laptop was a Samsung i7 3530QM machine.
So actually finding an Apple Macbook Pro with an i7 processor would just be ideal for me.
However I don't believe they made many of the i7 models.  Apple primarily sold most of their MacBook range with i5 processors.
I have no idea why they did that, maybe they got a batch lot from Intel.  
Admittedly I think most of the Apple Macbook Pro range use Intel graphics cards but people have managed to use them for video editing so they can't be that bad.
Apple no longer produce Intel laptops and even the refurbished models are going from between £1200+.
Which means it's not something I will invest in lightly.
So those are the Macs that I would like to own but more than likely never will.
I hope that’s been enlightening to someone out there...

Building a Faster SE
The Macintosh SE was the first Mac model to support internal expansion cards, by way of its Processor Direct Slot. As the name implies, the PDS connector exposes most of the 68000 processor signals. This makes it an ideal candidate for a CPU upgrade card. Many such products were available in the early 1990s, offering faster and newer processors, cache, additional memory etc.
The Motorola 68030 is a great option for accelerating an existing 68k system. It has the same instruction set, with a few additions, so all the same code will run. It also supports dynamic bus sizing, so it can easily interface with 8-, 16-, and 32-bit peripherals. And it supported clock speeds up to 50MHz. All around, it's a fairly easy 32-bit processor to start with, and it can be adapted to the 68000 bus with minimal additional logic.
Tumblr media
So I tried my hand at making a 68030 accelerator card for the Mac SE. It has a 68030 CPU & 68882 FPU, and uses an Atmel ATF1504 CPLD & some 74'245 buffers as glue logic adapting the 32-bit bus of the 68030 to the 16-bit bus of the 68000 and SE.
I've not added any cache or extra RAM. I thought it best to start small and get the basic bus translation working first. Ideally, this little card would be transparent to the OS, perhaps only needing a small init to enable the 68030 L1 cache or announce presence of the FPU.
If I can get this basic card to work, I might move on to adding L2 cache or 32-bit-wide RAM to help further accelerate the system.

TRANSVERSAL TRACE
Tumblr media
Intelity: #14, C-type matte photograph by Maximilian Tomozei (2015), showing a closeup view of a scratched and degraded electronic security chip. The piece highlights a transversal site between a physical trace and the trace of digital identity as stored in or via the chip. http://www.tomozei.com/intelity/
Tumblr media
0h!m1gas, an audiovisual installation with a plexibox housed ant colony, turntables, audio, camera, monitor, variable dimensions, by Kuai Shen (2012). The work shows an example of transversal media practice as something more than ‘multi,’ ‘convergent’ or ‘mixed’ media in that new, bizarre or experimental channels of signal feedback between disparate spheres of communication are facilitated for new knowledge.

Every so often I boot up my PowerBook 160, when was released in October 1992.
At the time it was mid-range Apple laptop, with a 25Mhz 68030 processor, 4 MB of memory, a display capable of 16 shades of gray, and an 80 MB SCSI hard drive. It can't hold a charge, there's no way to connect it to the Internet, so I can create documents, but can't send them anywhere.
I'll be sad when the day comes that drive fails.
