BEOS Flipbook application

Forum thread started by kuecker2 on Thu, 2010-10-14 02:06

In June of 1999 a flipbook application was posted in the BEOS newsletter Does anyone have a copy of the code that could be downloaded? Did anyone use the program to make flipbooks. I really need any information possible.

Recent (23 Sept) OGP milestone

Forum thread started by peroxidechicken on Sat, 2010-09-25 22:15

It's been a while since I last checked in on this project but things have certainly progressed

The boards that have been produced aren't end-user ready - for a start, the asking price is $750 - but I'm pleased to see this project continuing. I'd be even more pleased if Haiku were to gain support for it.

LibPango fails in Gimp

Forum thread started by stellarpower on Fri, 2010-09-24 15:59

I'm trying to make a tilt-os account, but it doesn't seem to work, so does anyone have any experience of Gimp failing to launch? When I run it, it says libpango-1.0.so.0.2800.0: COuld not resolve symbol 'g_realloc_n' returned -214774780

Is an error like this cause by a wrong version of a library that doesn't contain the right functions? And if so, is there any way I can download a new version of Pango without downloading a massive pack of libs?

Thanks.

FS: BeBox Dual 133MHz System via eBay auction

Forum thread started by macsociety on Wed, 2010-08-25 17:22

Just in case there are any BeBox folks here or Haiku folks that have been wanting to get a BeBox for years, I have decided to try and sell mine on eBay. Not cheap mind you but I do have a make offer also on the fixed price ad in case someone wants to make an offer. I hate to sell it but have soooo many projects in front of me and my poor BeBox sits unused which I hate.... I want it to go to someone like me that actually uses it. Time has become an issue for me so I am passing it on. Buy It Now was set at $1999 for my whole BeBox and BeOS collection. Plus like I said I have it also set to receive offers that I can decline or take.

Here is my link. It ends in about 6 days.

Legacy BeOS Developer Edition somewhere ?

Forum thread started by seki on Mon, 2010-08-23 11:20

Hi,

5 years ago Fabien Lusseau published a BeOS Developer Edition 2.2.

It was available from several sites including BeBits (http://www.bebits.com/app/4058) but the linked resource is not more available (and I suppose it is since a long time yet).

The missing file is DeveloperEdition-1-1-boot-and-main.zip. Perhaps that an ancient BeOS dev or enthusiast has still that in a cdrom or a forgotten hard disk partition ?

Thanks.

SATA Addressing

Forum thread started by stellarpower on Mon, 2010-07-19 17:54

Hey, just wondering, how does the OS speak to a SATA drive? I read that with ATA, there's physical, translated and logical CHS, or LBA, but how are sectors mapped on a SATA drive?

THanks .
