Hey everyone; I'm back for another round. I seem to look into all this every 5 years or so.
https://www.macip.net/macipgg-vm-3-0/ has an old reference for a "software-based localtalk bridge" For software solution see:
http://68kmla.org/fo…&t=22036#p21405 - but of course, the old link was never archived and points to nowhere now.
I'm looking for the nuts and bolts because, in the current dearth of Pi boards, I decided to go for an x86-based Mini PC, so I'm going to have to set up everything from scratch, and want to bridge LocalTalk without an AsanteTalk bridge.
Does anyone remember what's needed for this step in the whole process? Once it's done, I'll likely spin up a MacIPGW VM, upgrade A2Server on it, then upgrade to the latest Netatalk 2.x or the recently released Netatalk 2.2.8, and finally add in Avahi for forward-compatibility with Bonjour-capable devices.
What could go wrong? Please tell me so I'm more prepared
And if anyone knows what the software bridge solution was that way-back made me bookmark it and go "well, of course!" please let me know.
I'd love to get all my networking-capable hardware on the same network yet-again, for the third time.
