    Transformers for homemade LocalTalk/PhoneNet dongles

    The design for the single port adapters is different than the twin port adapters. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/anybody-want-to-look-over-my-phonenet-helper-image.46451/post-519198 That's all I've got for a twin port adapter. I'd have to break open my single port adapter to find out...

    Appletalk wiring

    An Apple "printer cable" is shown at the bottom of this image.

    Damaged my System 7 System folder with an HD20 running System 6 - Help!

    Just make a normal install of System 7 / 7.1 inside Mini vMac, pack it up into a CompactPro archive, then shuffle it over via LocalTalk. Unpack it and copy it over.

    Nullmodem Cable RS422 to RS232 ...

    That's an interesting arrangement. I'll probably reference that when I update that image soon. E: note that the image above for ADTPro is a crossover cable, which arguably the better choice is to make it a straight cable and then use a null-modem adapter thingy so you can use it for "other...

    Nullmodem Cable RS422 to RS232 ...

    Alas, they are but gone. Those Mini-DIN-8 RS422 to DE-9 RS232 adapters from Palm are gone. I got two off Amazon roughly 12 years ago. Can't find any more on ebay. Ugh anyways if you're looking for a generic RS232 adapter, the 3rd one from the bottom of the image on dochilli's post is how the...

    Need help with iMac G4/700 (Flat Panel) 700 MHz PowerPC 7441 (G4) M6498 (EMC 1873)

    It takes machine-specific OS 9 install discs with I believe can restore some version of OS X 10.2.7 Jaguar. They're readily available to download and burn. The machine doesn't need a physical screen to operate. You can make a button to plug the hole on the top and get a Mini-VGA to VGA adapter...

    AppleShare via AirTalk between Mac Plus and MacBook Air

    You can use IPNetRouter, although I'd probably recommend a newer solution like macipgw. AppleTalk bridges like the AsanteTalk bridge cannot forward IP packets. They only do DDP AppleTalk and nothing else, but they should still work just fine with MacIP. MacIP is just encapsulation of IP packets...

    .img vs. .image Files (and Writing Them To Disks)

    MacIP is pretty easy to set up actually. You literally just set MacTCP to "Server" and a few other things and it's done. You can use macip.net's baked up VM servers to do that stuff for you. I like his stuff, but I want to cook up a VM that actually has a GUI one of these days. A lightweight...

    .img vs. .image Files (and Writing Them To Disks)

    Why not just use a MacIP bridge so the Plus can also use FTP?

    .img vs. .image Files (and Writing Them To Disks)

    1400 is fine as a bridge box. Pizza boxes -- meh. They don't do anything remarkable for me to worry about. The best bridge box is a PM G3, which can boot OS 9 and OS X. OS X is slow on 300MHz G3s, even Jaguar is barely tolerable. But it has serial port, ethernet, floppy drive and CD drive. As...

    .img vs. .image Files (and Writing Them To Disks)

    I recommend networking. It's a good method to ship stuff around without fudging around with Sneakernet. Bonus: A good bridge box can unpack archives and stuff rather than having to decompress archives and shuffle stuff around on a 68000 CPU. Most of the time when I'm doing extended fudgery I...

    Macintosh NUBUS Ethernet card with video

    Add me in as well. cheesestraws is right: if you plug in a DB15 monitor cable in there, you're looking for problems.

    Struggling to connect ethernet on my iisi

    Really? Huh, yeah I saw those a bit after I bought mine, and wished I bought that kind instead. Here's what mine does: Maybe I got a discount model? It's just an Asante MacCon.

    Struggling to connect ethernet on my iisi

    ...true to an extent I'd argue? You'd probably know more than I do. However I wasn't referring to whether they'd be compatible with Auto MDI but rather what they can actually handle. I don't know if if a 68030 box can handle 10BASE-T full duplex. The reason I'm suggesting an AUI drop cable is...

    Struggling to connect ethernet on my iisi

    7.1 is the earliest you can install OT on. MacTCP works fine for most cases. You only really want OT if you want to connect to 10.3 or 10.4. Otherwise, if you're doing FTP or something, MacTCP is fine and I would recommend that instead. Your router may have an option for setting the speed of...

    PSU compatibility for my IIci question.

    I have an AA15830 power supply in mine. What's wrong with your AA15831?
