I first knew about this yesterday as I browsed Hacker News to spend the time while compiling BasiliskII for bare metal on the SE/30 replica I’m building, so it was… strange.
I spent so much time using 680x0-based Macs and reading about the design choices for the ROM and built-in drawing routines that Atkinson’s stuff made a profound impression on me even before folklore.org was a thing, and of course I know most of the anecdotes involving him by heart (especially the lines of code one).
