Thanks!

Reading more into this topic - no wonder its "unintuitive" since even Apple used, changed and renamed these protocols. Currently I'm heading down several rabbit holes at once and will have more questions in the future ;-)

Apparently I don't know enough about Classic Mac networking. I was under the impression that AppleTalk was using TCP/IP whereas LocalTalk used something different? So what's correct then - LocalTalk is only used with the initial serial connectors and AppleTalk on Ethernet connections?

Oh, I forgot. As far as I have understood, Netatalk 4 does support LocalTalk again after it was dropped from v3.

Thanks this is helpful and more to the point than anything I found before. It isa also pretty condensed. I will have to think through everything and likely come back with more questions ;-)

Thanks for the answer - yes I also believe that netatalk is only using IP and not AppleTalk - might be some config wrong and/or missing. I also know that minivmac cannot connect to IP withouth some form of a bridge. Although I am not sure if macipgateway is the correct one to use in this case...

It seems that noone here as successfully done this setup and I am not too surprised. I'll ask somewhat differently then: Can anyone explain how LToUDP networking is supposed to work and how all the software packages around AppleTalk and TCP/IP work together or what they do. What's covered by...

Thank you this was very helpful! Recompiling with -speed z fixed the problem and all versions i tested work now. Would be interesting to know why the Mac Plus did boot at 8x speed before, but anyway - it works!

Hi! I am running minivmac on a Raspberry Pi (Zero2 W) and want to bring it online (Internet, Filesharing). I have spent two evening reading everything I came across - The long netatalk and tashtalk/router threads, multiple websites, Github Pages, Wikis and so on. But I still cannot get my head...

Hi! I built a tinyMac for this year's MARCHintosh. So far so good, I compiled minivmac and it works with a System 7.1 install that I have been using on many real or emulated machines for over 10 years. Usually I emulate a Mac Classic (because I have a real one too) or Mac II if I want color...

Your best bet is always a Compact Flash to IDE adapter because CF Cards speak IDE natively. But if you want something bigger, more modern or available: I have something like this in a Powermac G4 and a Mac Mini G4 that boots MacOS 9: Amazon Link (German but you get the idea) For slower machines...

I also don't understand the use of Discord. There is a Forum already and Chats are completely useless regarding documentation. Don't take this personally, it is a more general rant and you can of course do and use with what you are comfortable with. In my case I tend to stay clear of any...

10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 This simple oneliner in Commodore BASIC has become quite famous for its nice complex output: For this year's #MARCHintosh I asked myself, why should only the 8-bitters have all the fun? Sure, the Mac promised to not ever bother users with all that...

It "should" work as you describe but I always go through an emulator where I mount the image from the SDcard. It's much easier to preserve the File Forks that way. Basilisk2 SheepShaver, Minivmac.. pick one

This is great to hear, since I am a Debian person anyway. For 68k Macs (your other post), I'm not so much interested in running Linux anymore, but on a Quad G5 this is another story. I also have a Sun Ultra 45 (their last SPARC Workstation) where Debian is no longer really feasible. OpenBSD is...
