You will need to binhex/macbinary/applesingle any files with a resource fork, since modern (>= CVS) VCSes have no support for Macintosh forks. Alternatively, run the resource file through SaDeRez (ISTR it ships with Think Pascal) before committing, then SaRez after checking out, and add the...

The IIci was also the first Mac that supported the '030 burst mode, allowing to fill a 1st level cache line / four long words in one go. That mechanism would profit from a fast 2nd level cache.

The correct name would be "netatalk-appletalk", but that is a bit hilarious. For which value of "incorrect"? The Makefile's MASTER_SITES variable expands to "https://github.com/Netatalk/Netatalk/releases/download/netatalk-2-3-0/", which works when you append netatalk-2.3.0.tar.xz - I just...

As always, thanks for your work! I nstalled the updated 'net/netatalk22' pkgsrc package on my home server a few days ago, and (after minor debate on the package name - back when the package was generated, nobody reasonably expected any further release on the branch...) just committed it to the...

Awesome - just what I had hoped for. Thank you! Now I only have to find a quiet evening...

I stand corrected - "threads" didn't feel right, in fact. Maybe I was thinking of mending too much. ;)

Hi, I was wondering what techniques people employ to repair damaged and severed threads? There is a IIcx board here that needs attention and I could use some ideas...

#2 - Quadra 650 -- They seem to do that... my Home Mac is a '650 with two MacPicasso 340 cards, and I only accidentally noticed that the long-unused onboard video was dead.

Note that the internal SCSI Powerbook drives have to be terminated to work. I learned this the hard way in the nineties, having picked up a 500 MB drive for my Duo 280, and then having to source and solder on 603 size (IIRC) SMD resistors - I still had the eyesight then.

Interesting - if there have been any local changes to the netbsd-10 openssl 1.1, they went past me. What worked for me in the end is -uamlist uams_clrtxt.so,uams_dhx2.so which allows Mac OS X 10.13 to create an encrypted connection, while System 7-9 Macs will use plain text authentication...

Thanks, I just updated pkgsrc net/netatalk22. An issue that I noticed recently: It looks like openssl 1.1 (on NetBSD 10, at least) has deprecated either algorithms or ciphers to the point where a System 9 client will not be able to set up an encrypted connection. When I disable all UAMs for...

FTR, <ftp://sunsite.icm.edu.pl/pub/mac/> has UMich and info-mac mirrors. sunsite.cnlab.switch.ch apparently morphed into <http://mirror.switch.ch/ftp/>, but archive.org unfortunately decided not to mirror the directories below /ftp/software/platform/ ... still looking.

On the odd chance that somebody is reading here who squirreled away the files in time: I was looking for a mirror of <ftp://sunsite.cnlab-switch.ch/software/platform/macos/>, specifically for Matthias Neeracher's tools, more specifically for his mpw tool ports, most specifically for the cvs...

Did you per chance 'cvs checkout' the stable branch? I guess that would have an earlier version. One can request pull-ups to the quarterly release branch, but it's mainly done for serious bugs or security issues. That sounds like FreeBSD (who copied NetBSD's rc.d startup system, then "improved"...

...requires a MMU - Macintosh II + mc68851, 68030, 68040. Same goes for all VM based unixes - A/UX, Linux/mac68k, old OpenBSD releases. There is Minix 1.5, but that runs on top of the Macintosh system. There are rumours of a CP/M 68k port, but I have never seen it.
