GS/OS has to boot off of a ProDOS formatted partition. It doesn't support booting off of a HFS partition. By default, GS/OS installs ProDOS 8 and BASIC.SYSTEM to run 8-bit software.
Read the description in the LC 630 tech note on Page 8 (PDF page 22). Also:
The overlay function mixes the output of the video data frame buffer and the graphics data at the output stage (RAMDAC). They never share memory or otherwise interact with each other. A 68040 based machine can't handle...
The Valkyrie chip isn't drawing the output from the TV tuner card at all. The video is being painted onto the Valkyrie's display by a nifty overlay function. Think of it as two screens, the Valkyrie frame buffer with your desktop, and a black screen with just the video output, perfectly sized to...
Hopefully he has some of the other tools released by UMich stored away somewhere. There was apparently a Chooser extension that integrated with netatalk's printer server to view and delete print jobs in the queue, and an INIT to query printers for specific features see...
I wish there was a mirror of terminator.rs.itd.umich.edu. Besides Choosier and the source code, there were apparently a few Mac client applications related to netatalk that were developed that seem to be lost to time now.
I'd still like to know why Apple went the route of using ADSP vs. the established PAP for these. A few possible (likely wrong) reasons:
-The printer's communication with the host couldn't easily support PAP. Looking at the notes on the lpstyl driver shows that these printers are really fussy...
For DOS 3.3 disks, there is the DOS.MASTER software to run them off of ProDOS hard drives. Many classic Apple II games have been deprotected and converted to ProDOS friendly form by qkumba as well. These appear in the "Total Replay" package.
I suspect most everyone used PAP. My EPSON Stylus Color 900N spoke ESCP/2 and used PAP via its EPSON Type B network card. My HP LaserJets will all accept PCL via PAP as well. They just see the PCL magic string or PJL header and do language switching based on that. The DeskWriters are using...
Enjoy it while it lasts as CUPS 3.0 is going to break all that. Serial printing to an ImageWriter should still work with the ghostscript printer application, but nothing exists for pap printers yet.
Can you print raw text to the ImageWriter using the command line?
pap -p "MyPrinter:ImageWriter@My Zone" textfiletoprint
Also Netatalk 2.3.2 should have fixes for ImageWriter printing. You should get detailed output from the papstatus program.
I just did some testing here and can confirm that kernel patch will fix the problem. I also figured out why the HP printer works fine, but the LaserWriter doesn't. HP's JetDirect firmware doesn't broadcast ZIP GetNetInfo packets, it sends them directly addressed to the router, which doesn't...
@RolandJuno try reversing the order of the interface lines in your atalkd.conf file. If it is currently
eth0
tap0
reverse it to:
tap0
eth0
The above is a simplified example. Naturally, leave all the other switches and zone information in the file as-is. This might solve your problem as the...
OK, this appears to be the annoying Linux AppleTalk kernel bug rearing its head. The printer keeps sending ZIP GetNetInfo packets because its never receiving a response. Netatalk is responding, but sending out the response to the tap interface instead of the Ethernet interface! There is a patch...
Is the HP LaserJet 4000 showing up without a problem? The zipgnireply errors are likely due to an unpatched broadcast bug in the Linux kernel. I strongly suspect the printer is the source of the ZIP GetNetInfo packets and that is the problem.
I would need a more detailed tcpdump, or wireshark...
