     * Cross-Development
          + [14]xa 6502/R65C02/65816 crossassembler for Unix/DOS/Atari/Amiga (last
            update 5 Mar 2024) -- A high-speed cross-assembler system for most Unix
            systems (including *BSD, Linux, OS X), DOS, Amiga and Atari computers.
            Includes linker utilities, documentation, and support for Rockwell CMOS
            and Western Digital '816 variants. GPL open source.
          + [15]Plua Revisited: Lua 5.0.3 for Classic Palm OS (last update 20 Aug
            2022) -- Plua was a port of Lua 5.0.3 to the classic Palm OS, lost since
            the primary source for it was removed. Now not only is the onboard Palm
            version and runtime available again here, but also ports of its
            "cross-compiler," including our original one to PowerPC Mac OS X plus
            new ports to several modern 64-bit platforms. Documentation and example
            code are provided. MIT open source.
     * Software for Retrocomputing Platforms
          + Commodore Software
               o [16]Small vi Clone for Commodores (svicc) (last update 15 Mar 2003)
                 -- An extended subset of nex/nvi for the Commodore 64 and most
                 Commodore 64 emulators. Features built-in documentation, along with
                 instructions for configuring svicc as a standalone document viewer.
                 Freeware.
          + Classic and Power Macintosh Software
               o [17]3C589/EtherLink III Driver for Macintosh PowerBooks (last
                 update 14 Nov 2020) -- A MacOS extension for most NuBus-based
                 PowerBooks allowing 3Com EtherLink III Ethernet cards to be used
                 for networking. Includes compatibility matrix, workarounds, and
                 additional utilities. This is a hacked version of a Farallon
                 driver, and is not officially supported by Farallon. Offered as
                 freeware, as is.
               o [18]SieveAhl Simple Macintosh 68K Benchmark (last update 23 Sep
                 2002) -- A simple benchmark for 68K based Macintoshes running
                 virtually any System or MacOS version to evaluate integer and CPU
                 performance. Also of limited value for Power Macintoshes, but see
                 the disclaimer. Partial source available, with annotations.
                 Freeware.
               o [19]MacLynx "Resurrected" (last update 20 Aug 2023) -- A mirror of

               o [20]Copperweb, A Self-Hosting Mac HTTP Proxy (last update 9 May
                 2011) -- If you can't fix your browser, fix your browser's input.
                 Try Copperweb as a proof-of-concept to shore up browser support on
                 classic Macs and A/UX. BSD open source.
     * Emulators/Simulators
          + [21]The KIM-1 Page and the Amazing KIMplement (last update 27 Apr 2024)
            -- Information on the Commodore and MOS Technologies KIM-1, a 6502-based
            1970s single-board computer. Also includes the KIMplement, a partial
            emulation of the KIM-1 in software for the Commodore 64 and most
            Commodore 64 emulators. [22]FFSL-licensed freeware.
          + [23]The Little Orphan Tomy Tutor (last update 18 Mar 2024) -- An homage
            to and growing information resource about the orphaned Tomy Tutor,

     * Classic Computing Environments
          + [25]Floodgap's Power MachTen Hacking Page (last update 5 Aug 2009) --
            Run Unix on a Mac without OS X, under OS 9! Look at Power MachTen, an
            "inside-out" Unix running Mach natively as a VM under the classic Mac
            OS. Learn how to compile packages and patch it up to modern standards,
            and even roll your own web browser.
          + [26]Installing A/UX (last update 29 Jan 2023) -- One man's installation
            document -- YMMV. Under construction with more resources to come.

          + [27]The Woz iBook (last update 20 Nov 2005) -- Yes, Virginia, there *is*
            a Woz iBook. And I felt just like bragging outrageously.
