  • Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X
    1 Chapter 1. Origins of Mac OS X "Most ideas come from previous ideas." Alan Curtis Kay The Mac OS X operating system represents a rather successful coming together of paradigms, ideologies, and technologies that have often resisted each other in the past. A good example is the cordial relationship that exists between the command-line and graphical interfaces in Mac OS X. The system is a result of the trials and tribulations of Apple and NeXT, as well as their user and developer communities. Mac OS X exemplifies how a capable system can result from the direct or indirect efforts of corporations, academic and research communities, the Open Source and Free Software movements, and, of course, individuals. Apple has been around since 1976, and many accounts of its history have been told. If the story of Apple as a company is fascinating, so is the technical history of Apple's operating systems. In this chapter,[1] we will trace the history of Mac OS X, discussing several technologies whose confluence eventually led to the modern-day Apple operating system. [1] This book's accompanying web site (www.osxbook.com) provides a more detailed technical history of all of Apple's operating systems. 1 2 2 1 1.1. Apple's Quest for the[2] Operating System [2] Whereas the word "the" is used here to designate prominence and desirability, it is an interesting coincidence that "THE" was the name of a multiprogramming system described by Edsger W. Dijkstra in a 1968 paper. It was March 1988. The Macintosh had been around for four years.

  • Enablers, Installers, and Apple Extras
    Chapter 5 Enablers, Installers, and Apple Extras IN THIS CHAPTER: I The other crud in your System Folder: Enablers, System Updates, and more I Details on the automatic System Folder subfolders I A few words about the System file I Apple Extras I The Installer nobody knows That handful of control panels, extensions, and DAs described in the preced- ing two chapters doesn’t completely explain why a System 7.5 System Folder can consume 30MB of your hard drive — 80MB or more if you have, for example, a Language Kit or most of System 7.6’s goodies installed. Your Mac comes with a lot of other fascinating software, too — and the flood doesn’t stop: Every few months, Apple releases some Updater or other, which you’re supposed to know about, get, and install. Your Mac even comes with some software the Installer doesn’t install; those additional programs get left behind on the original System software disks, or dumped into an unex- plained folder on your hard drive called Apple Extras. All of it is worth know- ing about. 181 182 Part I: System Software Revealed THE SYSTEM FOLDER FOLDERS System 7 greatly reduced the cluttered, no-nested-folders setup of System 6. System 7 introduced a set of standard folders within the System Folder (see Figure 5-1): one each for Extensions (INITs), Control Panels, Preferences, Fonts (in System 7.1 and later), Apple Menu Items, PrintMonitor Documents, Startup Items, Shutdown Items (System 7.5), and Launcher Items (System 7.5). Depending on your model and System version, you may also have folders that collect things such as Speakable Items and Control Strip Modules.

  • 176: Macintosh Memory Configurations
    Macintosh Technical Notes ® Developer Technical Support #176: Macintosh Memory Configurations Revised by: Jack Robson April 1992 Prior Revisions: Mark Baumwell, Craig Prouse, and Dennis Hescox Written by: Cameron Birse November 1987 This Technical Note describes the different possible memory configurations of all models of the Macintosh family that use Single In-line Memory Modules (SIMMs) as well as the non-SIMM memory upgrade options of the Macintosh Portable and Macintosh Classic. (Special thanks to Brian Howard for the Macintosh Plus and original SE drawings, and for the inspiration for the other drawings.) This Note also describes the obstacles to using four megabit (Mbit) DRAM SIMMs in Apple Macintosh products to date. Changes since November 1991: Corrected error on the RAM configuration chart (page 2); additional information added to Quadra 900 section (page 15). Developer Technical Support receives numerous questions about the many different possible configurations of RAM on the different Macintosh models, so we’ll attempt to answer these questions in this Technical Note, as well as to provide a showcase for some outstanding Macintosh Plus and SE artwork by Apple engineer Brian Howard. Interested readers should refer to the Guide to the Macintosh Family Hardware, Second Edition, which contains much more detail on the memory configurations and specifications for all Macintosh models released to date. For information on the newer Macintosh models not mentioned in the Guide to the Macintosh Family Hardware, please refer to the companion developer notes for those particular products. #176: Macintosh Memory Configurations 1 of 22 Developer Technical Support April 1992 RAM Configuration Chart Caveat: The upper physical RAM totals expressed here assume the use and compatibility of 4 and 16 MB SIMMs.
