    TashRouter: An AppleTalk Router

    I run an IP mesh with some friends (done with normal VPN protocols and a little BGP), and we definitely run weird protocols on top of that. The whole AIR abuse is really cute, but not sustainable over the previously mentioned approach from a reliability, security, and performance standpoint. I...

    Reading a GCC UltraDrive driver formatted disk

    Mt. Everything hangs badly trying to mount it. It does seem to recognize the structure of it. Norton Disk Editor also seems to recognize that there's a partition there. What did work is using CiderPress 2 (not the original) - it does recognize the weird encapsulation just fine. I was able to...

    Reading a GCC UltraDrive driver formatted disk

    I got a Mac SE with some very interesting contents on the disk, so I plugged a ZuluSCSI into it into initiator mode. Now I have a disk image. Great! ...except for the fact I can't get this image to mount at all. If I look at a hex dump of the disk, I see some stuff that implies it's using a GCC...

    Apple YOINKS everything good... Let's fix it

    You're talking about without proposing anything concrete. Running older software in virtualization has been done for years. What are you trying to accomplish here?

    FUN CHALLENGE: 2006 iMac in 2019

    My parents are using a Core Solo MacMini1,1 with Windows 10. It's usable if you have patience.

    Can't get BeOS burnt properly

    BeOS is weird and uses two data tracks; one for the ISO+HFS part, and another for the BeFS part. Chances are your burning software might not be able to cope with this.

    Lost icons for applications on OS7.5.3

    As for associations: Mac OS is ignorant of file extensions. What matters is creator type (the application it belongs to) and file type of a file; each are four character codes. You can use ResEdit to reassociate files as a result.

    .TTF and Mac OS 9 Problems

    Make sure the fonts have the proper creator types - that's what matters to the classic Mac OS.

    68K/early PPC with onboard AAUI 100mbps ethernet?

    The Mac was never going to be a gaming platform due to Apple's apathy towards it post-II and the Mac's poor suitability towards gaming. Big framebuffers + no acceleration features like sprites + slow CPU + slow I/O between those = bad gaming platform. For the audio you got, mono was a silly...

    F-Secure SSH Client for MacOS 9

    Keep in mind this won't last forever; OpenBSD upstream aggressively removes support for older busted crypto. The ideal would be for someone to graft a newer lsh onto MacSSH, graft a modern SSH stack onto MacSSH, or just backport protocols.

    Looking for Text Conversion Software, Maybe

    MacLinkPlus allegedly handles everything you'll throw at it.

    Lightweight browser

    The Web sucks anyways. Use gopher.

    Lightweight browser

    Netscape 2.x wants 10 MB RAM and an 68020.

    Lightweight browser

    iCab, but it won't run on 4 MB or System 6. The browser you want doesn't exist. Either upgrade your system to handle a larger one (you couldn't even run Netscape) or learn to live with the minimal formatting of the 3.2 and lower world.
