13:45 🔗 SketchCow On it
13:54 🔗 JohnTalen There are some redirections which might be possible to get with wget -r -k -l 3 where 3 is the depth of the indirect retrieval hyperlinks.
14:33 🔗 JohnTalen if anyone know of in depth information of old Windows 95 drivers from a programmers standpoint and how to interoperate within them please send them my way.
14:36 🔗 JohnTalen Aparently VFD.VXD is a floppy drive controller. The depth at which I find single sentences that say this. I tried disabling the floppy. still no good.
14:38 🔗 JohnTalen perhaps i have to patch win95.
14:38 🔗 JohnTalen but qemu likes this setup just as is. no issues there.

17:55 🔗 JohnTalen setting up network in qemu for convience in file copying.
18:32 🔗 JohnTalen my startup script is as follows: qemu-system-i386 -boot order=cda -cdrom Microsoft_Windows_95_000-04404_Microsoft_1995.iso -hda sfile.img -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user
18:32 🔗 JohnTalen this is under linux.
18:33 🔗 JohnTalen is there a bug in qemu for this under linux?
18:42 🔗 godane has joined #jsmess
18:49 🔗 JohnTalen compiling from source, the latest qemu.
19:07 🔗 JohnTalen SketchCow: If v86 doesn't work why don't I just convert qemu to emscripten. It supports an SDL option!
19:08 🔗 JohnTalen and it's GPL!
19:09 🔗 SketchCow or both
19:09 🔗 SketchCow I welcome all
19:09 🔗 JohnTalen ok
19:09 🔗 SketchCow Hey guys....
19:10 🔗 SketchCow The Prime Minister of Canada linked to the mac emulator
19:10 🔗 SketchCow https://twitter.com/JustinTrudeau/status/873600926128504832
19:10 🔗 bai haha nice
19:12 🔗 JohnTalen cool!
19:54 🔗 d1r7y has joined #jsmess
19:56 🔗 d1r7y hello
20:01 🔗 JohnTalen hello d1r7y.
20:02 🔗 d1r7y i read The Atlantic article of the Mac emulator on the IA and I wanted to help out.
20:09 🔗 bai awesome - welcome! what's your main area of interest?
20:10 🔗 d1r7y well, i was thinking about adding copy&paste support.
20:10 🔗 d1r7y if no one was already working on it.
20:10 🔗 d1r7y from guest to host.
20:10 🔗 d1r7y and vice versa
20:11 🔗 bai that could be interesting....I know javascript has some ways to programatically copy stuff into the clipboard, and events to paste...there are some weird security restrictions about it though
20:12 🔗 bai even if it doesn't go directly to the user's real clipboard though, maybe when you copy in the emulator it could put that text into an html element, and you could copy from there
20:13 🔗 d1r7y yeah, i can't speak to anything about javascript, but I did a lot of Mac development. I was thinking of writing an extension which ran on the Mac, which communicated via a paravirtualized channel to the emulator. Do you folks already have such a mechanism in the emulator?
20:14 🔗 bai hmm, I'm not as familiar with what capabilities PCE.js exposes, most of my experience is with msdos (em-dosbox) and mame (jsmess)
20:15 🔗 d1r7y can someone point me to the code for the emulator? i could look and see if anything like that exists.
20:15 🔗 bai the closest I can think to that sort of thing would be dosbox's serial emulation, we used that to hook it in to a virtualized dial-up ISP running on AWS
20:15 🔗 bai https://jamesfriend.com.au/pce-js/
20:15 🔗 bai code is here https://github.com/jsdf/pce
20:17 🔗 d1r7y thank you. let me pull it down.
20:18 🔗 bai I believe it's based on this project http://www.hampa.ch/pce/pce-macplus.html
20:19 🔗 d1r7y got it, now i have something to look at. thanks for the pointer.
21:25 🔗 JohnTalen wow, welcome to the world of, 'we specify it for you to do and it will absolutely not work.'

23:50 🔗 JohnTalen Sorry, my manners. To the Emularity team. I'm an old mac I go way back. Last time I was doing serious c/c++ code was back in 1993 for a HPOS company. but many gigs and projects between then and now. I'm at JohnTalent.com. If you have any questions or need assitance I can be reached at that emails or in this chat. I'm also at @_johntalent_ on twitter.
23:51 🔗 JohnTalen atm. I'm tearing about qemu code, looking for the net card parsing.
