    If you are interested in the classic Macintosh and its history during the period from 1983 to 1985, then the Mac 512K Blog is for you! This blog deals with software development, hardware repair, hacking, and the stories of the Macintosh and its creation.

    The most recent article shows how to run System 6 on a standard Mac 512K, something that Apple and the entire world said couldn't be done. Yet it is possible. There is also a continuing series on 68000 assembly language development for Mac, which shows how to use the Macintosh Toolbox routines
    to create an application. A hands-on article shows the official Apple way of opening the compact Mac case with only one tool.

    In-depth research delves into a variety of primary and secondary sources including contemporary magazine articles and Usenet posts, interviews,
    source code, internal Apple documentation, and disassemblies. The articles
    are written both with first-hand verification and rigorous fact-checking,
    and are among the most reliable published anywhere online.
