wow yllan! This is pretty cool. It's kind of mind blowing seeing my neighborhood in maps in OS9!

Couldn't make the mastodon one work though for some reason the form that requests the auth token and instance doesn't accept any input.

Would you mind trying the new version 1.2.0? I’d like to know whether it fixes this issue:

well thank you, i certainly did not know that before you said it. i will check for a BLA modded 002R in this case.

"version 2.5 FireWire extensions" if you have them, please attach to this thread

edit: compatibility is as follows: digi002 CONSOLE x Pro Tools 5 LE x OS 9.2.2 = go

Vol 1 Iss 2/3/4 but i gotta sort em maybe there is more but i got mostly mac world and a few others again with the magazines its a logistics battle. imagine as it happened to me twice someone is giving away for free all of them. like 10 big and heavy boxes. how do you get them to your place.

Macintosh Garden seem to have a good amount here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/icons

Also Iconfactory still have their archive available here: https://freeware.iconfactory.com/icons

I have a huge collection (thousands) that I've been collecting since I was a kid. I've been meaning to upload it for years, I'll try do it tomorrow. If I forget feel free to message me to remind me 

What do you have? I pretty much only read MacAddict back then.  MacWorld seemed stuffy to me as a kid. 

I didn't have a PC but would oggle over the gaming magazines they had...

Those MacAddict CDs introduced me to software/games that would become extremely influential on my personality, so the magazine has a special place in my heart.

Anyone have recommendations where to find some good icons?  I used to use Iconfactory back in the day...

I’ve just tested it again with a G4 tower—same configuration, OS 9.2.2, M-Audio FW410. It’s exactly the same as on the Pismo: it plays, but the sound isn't right—there’s always that high-frequency interference signal. I even got a second M-Audio FW410, but that made no difference either. Which FireWire interface works without issues under OS 9? Maybe the Digidesign Digi 002 Rack?
The M-Audio interface works without issues on OS X, but not on OS 9.

logistics... the amount of mac magazines that were thrown away last month simply because time and logistics was painful... i have a pretty nice but not too big 90s collection myself of various magazines and they are awsome.. cds are all on archive.org i guess gotta crossreference... back to archiving digidesign

Thanks for your answers, I also checked your progress report today. ;-)

... Keyboard volume keys are unstable ...

Regarding the keyboard volume key problem, under Mac OS 9, only some PowerBook and iBook models could control the sound volume by keyboard keys.

Link #2 mentions a method to assign a function to a keyboard key via a 'FKEY' program (maybe an alternative to your component approach?):

FKEYs
By pressing ⌘-Shift in combination with a specified number key you can launch a special kind of mini-application known as an FKEY. This is really a kind of function key that was invented prior to the introduction of real function keys on Macintosh keyboards. Like real keys, FKEYs can be used at any time, no matter what application is running.

Standard FKEYs
The following FKEYs are built into the standard System file:-

FKEY   Function
⌘-Shift-1   Ejects ​diskette ​in ​drive ​1 ​(usually ​internal)
⌘-Shift-2   Ejects ​diskette ​in ​drive ​2 ​(usually ​external)
⌘-Shift-3   Saves ​desktop ​image ​in ​a ​SimpleText ​PICT ​file
⌘-Shift-Ctrl-3   Copies ​desktop ​image ​to ​Clipboard
⌘-Shift-4   Saves ​selected ​part ​of ​desktop ​in ​a ​SimpleText ​PICT ​file
⌘-Shift-Ctrl-4   Copies ​selected ​part ​of ​desktop ​to ​Clipboard
In the latter of these, an area is selected by clicking and dragging and can be constrained to a square by pressing Shift whilst dragging. There’s also another FKEY, activated by pressing ⌘-Caps Lock-Shift-4, which creates a SimpleText PICT image file of a selected window. The bulls-eye that appears should be dragged into the required window and clicked. If you press Control as well, or continue to hold this key down whilst clicking in the window, the image is copied to the clipboard.

Should you use ResEdit to look inside the System file you’ll discover that the first two of the FKEYs listed above aren’t actually kept as FKEY resources, whilst the other four actions are in just two FKEY resources, known as FKEY 3 and FKEY 4, since keys 3 and 4 are used to activate them.

Adding FKEYs to your System
An FKEY can be installed in one of three ways:-

By adding it to the System file’s resources by means of special application or control panel. This is slightly risky as it can damage your system.
By modifying the file containing the FKEY so that it looks like a font suitcase file. It can then be placed in the Fonts folder, inside the System Folder and should then be recognised by the system. Unfortunately, this method doesn’t work with all versions of the Mac OS.
By launching a ResEdit version of the FKEY file from a utility such as OtherMenu.
