Hi Eric,

Could you send me a .sit of ElWhip 06??? I have no modern Mac... so .sit is more easy then tar.gz....

Thanks!! I will test it on my Mac 128K

Another test on a Macintosh 128K. Now with a rock bottom System 1.0 and Finder 1.0. Works!!

One strange thing.....

It comes up with a 404 ...not with the index.html as you should expect.

What could be the explanation?

See for yourself:

Did you use your own html or the ones that came with the program? Double check the http header of the html, and make sure it is 200 report code. Telnet to port 80, and

GET /

enter, enter

I connected my 128K to the Internet. You can see ElWhip up and running at this address:

http://128k.macip.net/

If you have seen the page...honk!

Works in a "normal" browser....not in lynx. Probably something with the port forwarding.

Please don't hammer it.......

Will be up today.

Nice Job! This has been a 2 month project of mine, so it is really great to see it up and running on a real Mac 128K.

FYI: Safari is stalling about 3/4 way through that page and keeping the connection open.  If I use TELNET, it looks correct, except I do not see the HTTP header (which may be the problem with Safari).

You should consider putting a fan on it it you are running it full time, like a Kensington System Saver or a Fanny Mac.

I will close down the 128K web server. My 128K is having trouble to start. Sometimes the screen stays black. A slap helps.....

I did some soldering this afternoon. It is more stable now but, I had to boot more then ones, so it is not over. I'm afraid I have to do this soldering over and the very carefully..... So I'm giving it some rest for now.

I have a log on the port forwarding and can see that my web server is visited 160 times. But...half of the visits are mine... :)

It was a nice project and hope to see more of these TCP/IP Mac stuff. It is really my peace of cake!

Looks like you got bitten by the hardware failure related to age bug. Time to service the analog board. 

This is one bug that not 1 person in this entire world collecting these machines will avoid. ;)

I had a very similar problem with my 128k a while back.  A slap would make it work for a while.  The transistor (?) at CR-1 had a cracked solder joint.

Thank you guys!

I have been soldering the three connectors and it seems to do the trick. I'm not that good in it but.....it works!

I will give the machine some rest now!

I shifted a bunch more PPP code into a segment that I can unload.  I will see if I can fit dynamic headers in.  This will make serving images easier.  I also have an idea for fixing the crash on quit on 128k.  Any other requests?

I may have enough memory to fit a small web browser.
