BlueSCSI supports a mode where you can plug a hard drive directly into it and it'll automatically image the drive. https://bluescsi.com/docs/Initiator-Mode That will give you a full image with partition table intact and will allow you to bypass reading the a/ux filesystem on a Mac. I haven't...
Ahhh you rock! I have one too and was wondering if i could ever get it to work. Does your card always show up in the slot manager or does it need a monitor connected to it? I've never been able to get mine to show up, so hopefully it's something to do with the sense line.
I assume it needs no...
The AsanteTalk?
I have one and unless there's some configuration i don't know about it doesn't do any IP over DDP translation. Actually I kinda hate them as they do a very poor job of updating their routing tables when new devices come online and generally are very flaky. I have to reboot...
Here ya go!
I found this on the the staticky site mirror on the Internet Archive. Search for "APDA_HyperCard_Toolkits" on https://ia800702.us.archive.org/view_archive.php?archive=/33/items/staticky.com/staticky.com.zip to see the other toolkits that were mentioned on the page you linked.
I got my LocalTalk to EtherTalk adapter working so here is a WireShark capture of the actual ethernet packets. A simple print of draft quality text that ends with the ImageWriter reporting no paper cause i was using one sheet of hand fed paper. This setup is working pretty well so if you need...
Ah cool. Well I got the files off my PowerBook and uploaded here in case you're interested. There's a capture of printing plain text, a print with "failed formatting" that i don't remember the context of, and renaming the printer. I have the text exported file format and the netminder capture...
I can help too. I have a LocalTalk ImageWriter II and a TashTalk and I can try and get something setup this week.
Also, I have a couple old LocalTalk captures taken with NetMinder from a failed project trying to understand the IW protocol. Would those be useful? There is also a text file export...
You have the three plug images at the bottom labeled as 2P2C, 4P4C, and 6P6C but the jack listing below all say 6 position. Aren't all of the plugs 6P? I honestly don't know the right answer, but I am confused ;)
With a pile that large it might be worth looking into the Applesauce https://applesaucefdc.com/ Not only to get flux images, but also for a faster workflow. Sadly they're still out of stock due to supply chain issues, but the developer hopes to have more early next year. It might be worth asking...
Congrats! That's so cool to see the packet, what a great feeling. I want to say I really appreciate all the documentation and explanations you've put in your source code. For someone with only software knowledge, it's been quite enlightening.
