True true, I just submitted it with the casing of the original title. Though actually if you read the page they've tested support down to Mac OS 7.6!

It's really a great time to be a classic MacOS developer - tons of resources out there such as Retro68k, AmendHub, and a small but active community of people interested in sharing examples and help.
Back in the day when this stuff was modern I didn't have many resources or people to talk to about it, so exploring what could have been is an interesting endeavor.

Uh, did an editor change the title? I's MacOS 9, not macOS 9 ;) This is classic Macintosh. Please change it back to the original.

Maintainer of BlueSCSI here - this is really early/gathering info to implement, but glad there's interest! If you have one of these adapters and would like to help out please check the details in the ticket.

Was great to see the video[0] you did (and production quality, humor, etc) showcasing MacProxy Plus. As the BlueSCSI maintainer it's always exciting to see it being used the wild in cool new things like this!

This app started from our retro programming study group[1] where we're going through the 1992 book "Macintosh C Programming Primer" (come jump in anytime!). Some of us are using real machines (we collect them, also I'm working with SCSI so I need real hardware) or you can grab a premade image and start coding. There's also gcc cross compiler Retro68[2] where you can develop on a modern machine.

How does the dev tooling work? Rebuild & restart the app each time? I find working on any sizable codebase this can take minutes even on the latest spring-boot. Quakrus has an interesting live reloading classloader.

A few notable releases in the past year are Flappy Mac, a flappy bird clone, and ssheven, a ssh client with modern protocols for system 7 and above.
