Hi Joshua,,

First of all...you are absolute right ....my 512K is a 512Ke with 1024MB ram
on board!

As you told me I looked at LAMP and Genie. I'm affraid that this is too much
for a Mac Plus or Mac 512Ke. I tried it on a virtual Mac with System 7.6 on
Basilisk II but I got a -192 error. But maybe the bare bone HTTP server
would be a great plan. I could increase my memory on the Plus to 4 MB

With a small C program I mean something like this:
http://www.sics.se/~adam/miniweb/
But my knowledge of programming is too small to know if you can port this to
System 6.

And yes... the part of red and blue is true :-)
I'm glad I found at least one men on earth who thinks the same about this!
I like to combine Mac together and I love TCP over localtalk!
I hacked HTTP4Mac with ResEdit to let it listen to HTTP/1.1 calls in stead
of HTT/1.0... thats also crazy..but fun!

Kind regards Tjabring

Are you sure it's not a 512Ke?  "The original 512K could accept Macintosh
system software up to version 4.1...  With the OEM 800 KB Drive and ROM
upgrade kit a 512Ke could accept up to System 6.0.8."

I have a bare bones HTTP server and a POSIX layer to run it in, currently
ported as far back as System 7.1 on a (virtual) Mac Plus -- except that it
only supports Open Transport, not MacTCP.  In addition to adding MacTCP
support, it would need to be patched for System 6 compatibility, and even
then it's not likely to run with less than 4 MB of RAM in its current form.

Though if you just want a static page and not CGI scripts, that simplifies
things...

You might take a look at Lamp (Lamp ain't Mac POSIX).  Run it on your Quadra
(with Open Transport), choose File->New (which creates a new shell window)
and enter `inetd`.  That runs httpd on port 80 (and a remote shell server on
port 23, so you might want to edit /etc/ inetd.conf first to disable that).
The Web document root is /var/ www.  You could also try it on a Mac Plus
running System 7.5.5, though you'd probably want to quit the Finder:  `quit
MACS`.  I don't know if you'll have enough RAM, though.

Red is the rose,

You are insane.
(And so am I.)

Besides adding MacTCP support, I'd have to patch Lamp for System 6
compatibility and create a separate distribution which is stripped down to
the bare essentials.  It might even work.

Do you mean Mac applications, command-line tools, or something else?   
And ported from what?

I'm sure there's at least one. ;-)
