Title: Macintosh PLUS Lives Again!
Post by: CaptBill on December 20, 2015, 07:48:59 am: Anyone remember the Mac PLUS? It lives again on an FPGA! I cannot find any info on any Freepascal port to the Mac Plus. Does anyone know of any efforts made to port this old legend? Anyone know of ANY pascal compilers for the old Mac Plus?

Look familiar?

Thank you Mischi!

I found the bitfile for ThinkPlus 4.5 which should be all that's needed, all in a 1MB .bin file. It lead me to the 'vault' that has about 20 different Pascal implementations for the Mac+.

I am going to see if Magnus can install ThinkPlus and make a video or something.

Can you clarify what "MPW" stands for?

Regards
