A Minor MARCHintosh Moment
Mar. 1st, 2026 06:08 pmAfter noticing a new “stable release” of the Snow emulator I took a look at the Mastodon account of its developer. The release was promoted there with the comment it had been prepared for “MARCHintosh.” Recollections of having seen a different “month for working with old computers,” “SepTandy,” came to mind.
I had been daydreaming about another small excursion involving Snow, but as I looked up the “MARCHintosh” hash tag I noticed people making a big deal of setting up their actual hardware. Managing to clear off the one table I can set projects up on, I got out my SE/30 and powered it up. Playing some “MacFlims” already loaded on its memory-card mass storage, though, amounted to most of what I could think of doing with it. A major “MARCHintosh” project involves long-distance online networking, but I’m still sorting out how that works, including the potential risks to the rest of your home devices, and might not have all the hardware to “do it for real” anyway. Snow itself promises the potential to “connect to the Internet,” but I haven’t quite tried that either.
