I just recently stumbled over FuseHFS for MacFUSE. Runs great in Mac OS Ventura.
Quite honestly, a Raspberry Pi is probably your best bridge machine. As others have mentioned, running a netatalk server via A2SERVER or a RaSCSI will let you share files easily between modern and vintage Macs. I even send files to my Apple IIgs with Uthernet II card that way! If you go with the RaSCSI, you'll also have the advantage of being able to print to modern printers on your network via CUPS.Curious to hear the community's thoughts/recommendations. I would like to build an environment that has, at one end, a machine capable of operating on the modern Internet for downloading apps, etc. from, e.g., Macintosh Garden. The other end would be any number of vintage Macs on which the downloaded apps, etc. would get installed.
In between, I would like to put a machine that speaks Ethernet to the modern machines and LocalTalk to the vintage machines. Suggestions?
Ok I have got to try this.If you go with the RaSCSI, you'll also have the advantage of being able to print to modern printers on your network via CUPS.
Yeah, you should! It was pretty slick when my modern Cannon MG6200 inkjet printer showed up in Chooser under the Laserwriter driver and then proceeded to print in color.Ok I have got to try this.
would it work with an HP ENVY 7800 printer??Yeah, you should! It was pretty slick when my modern Cannon MG6200 inkjet printer showed up in Chooser under the Laserwriter driver and then proceeded to print in color.
It must be CUPS (Apple AirPrint) compatible to work.would it work with an HP ENVY 7800 printer??
I use Brother DCP-L2550DW laser printer and it works great. The old method to install it is here, but I believe it's an Easy Install option now with the latest version of RaSCSI. Another option is to print via LPD (TCP/IP) which is described here.Can you link to a tutorial for this? Would a modern Brother laser printer show up using the Raspi method?

I wasn't aware that Windows 2000 Server supported Mac/Appletalk file shares. I learn something new all the time! Thanks!!I used to just set up a Windows 2000 server with Apple network support and everything 68K/PPC was good to go. Make sure you use NTFS or you lose file forks.
I'm on board with the first few steps, but I cannot figure out the queue name for my HP printerI use Brother DCP-L2550DW laser printer and it works great.

I think Windows 2003 Server (a bit newer) supports it as well ("Services for Macintosh"), but I'm not sure.I wasn't aware that Windows 2000 Server supported Mac/Appletalk file shares. I learn something new all the time! Thanks!!
Windows Server 2003 supports Services for Macintosh, yes. I used it contemporaneously, but the clients were virtual Macs (Basilisk II) running 7.5.5. Not sure on other supported client SSW versions.I think Windows 2003 Server (a bit newer) supports it as well ("Services for Macintosh"), but I'm not sure.
