- DVT also stands for Development Verification Test. I own a number of Newton DVT and EVT (Engineering Verification Test) devices collected over the years.
- This site was put together by a typeface designer friend of mine, so it’s no wonder the fonts are described so distinctly.
- I know, right? It pressed a lot of my buttons.
- I saw a connection with using a hex editor to dive into understanding file formats. Perhaps the association was a bit loose.
- Thank you, John.
The best of the season to everyone, regardless of how you celebrate this time of year.
- +1 It would add another method of discovery.
- But every once in a while, something that you discover at the bottom of one of those holes ends up being very rewarding.

- Nice work.
I wish more sites took linkrot seriously like this.
- Of course this is retrocomputing … have you tried running current versions of Safari or Chrome under macOS 10.7? They simply won’t work. The speed at which obsolescence and lack of support occurs in regards to hardware and software is increasing. Twelve year old software is ancient, especially in the eyes of Apple.
- It’s far more flexible than something that just spits out an .iso image.
From the site:
“… create disk images that work in devices like BlueSCSI, Floppy Emu and PiSCSI / RaSCSI, as well as in emulators like Basilisk II and Mini vMac. The macOS version also analyzes images that either contain a single volume, or entire devices. It can show the contents of HFS, MFS and ProDOS partitions. And it can perform a few neat tricks like converting an existing image that works on Basilisk II into an image that works on BlueSCSI or PiSCSI / RaSCSI, or replacing your Lido SCSI driver by a classic driver that will improve performance in modern solutions.”
And you can’t boot into Mac System 6 directly off an .iso … just saying.

Also. Very jealous about your collection. Protype hardware like that is always fun to see what could have been …
