    Netatalk 2.3.0 available

    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...

    Netatalk 2.3.0 available

    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...

    Mending severed threads

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

    Mending severed threads

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

    Mending severed threads

    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...

    Hanging Out with a pack of Wombats

    #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.

    ADTX SCSI IDE 2.5 inch Adapter Compatibility and Performance

    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.

    Netatalk 2.2.9 Released

    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...

    Netatalk 2.2.9 Released

    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...

    SUNSITE ftp mirror?

    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.

    SUNSITE ftp mirror?

    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...

    Netatalk 2.2.9 Released

    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"...

    Good OSes for your 68k Mac

    ...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.

    Displaying external VGA signal on an SE/30s display

    I probably shouldn't lend a hand for such an atrocious deed, but anyway... VGA has a minimal resolution (and associated timing) of 640 x 480 @ 60 Hz. Your SE/30's monitor hardware supports a resolution (and associated timing) of 512 x 348 @ 60 Hz. Naively feeding VGA timing to the poor SE/30...

    I am finally a Macintosh II owner again

    The German magazine c't had a project for a small 68020-68030 adapter board, which might be a more viable alternative to finding a PMMU chip: Hochsitz Adapter für 68030-CPU in 68020-Sockel Holger Zimmermann, Carsten Meyer Projekt, 68020/030-Adapter, PAK68/2, 68000, Prozessor-Austausch c't 7/93...

    Great, thanks! pkgsrc net/netatalk22 has been updated. Cheerio, Hauke

    IIci ROM options?

    No, I wouldn't expect so. The IIci was the first Mac II model to use the 68030 MMU during boot for setting up its address space, ISTR for re-mapping the internal graphics into Nubus slot address space. This created a lot of compatibility issues at the time, to the point where journal articles...

    Netatalk 2.2.7 Released

    IBTD. The above sentence needs some qualification: I found 2.2.6 completely usable on NetBSD. Not all of us confine themselves to Wind^WLinux. ;-> But that doesn't take anything away from the achievement that is 2.2.7.

    Andy’s PowerBook Problem

    I had a TiBook (GbE, 550 MHz, the second series) in the early 2000s. While on my Pismo, the only time the fans ever came on was when it hung in MacsBug and I put it into the neoprene sleeve, during summers the TiBook would roast my finger tips. Putting it on my thighs was unthinkable. Bases...
