I'll have to dig out the Powerbook 180c and run this.... when I have time.

The problem is macOS doesn't support AppleTalk at all. You are limited to TCP/IP file sharing with Netatalk 4. The issue of resource fork and FinderInfo storage has thankfully been solved though.

There used to be much more in the way of optical-based imaging and burning tools for MacOS X from the 00s, but I suspect none of them made the leap to Intel, let alone ARM based versions. Imgburn on Windows exists because there is a strong community of folks who archive and burn optical media...

The Classic environment is notorious for having issues with timing sensitive operations, hence why so many people want machines that can natively boot OS 9.

I guess the PowerMac G5 still retained the SCC core for interfacing with the modem? The developer's notes don't mention this at all. I don't see much of a point of a stealth serial port vs using a KeySpan USB adapter though. Mac OS X doesn't support LocalTalk, which is pretty much the only...

Do these cards have compatibility with newer SATA 300 and 600 devices? I know back in the day these VIA6421 cards hated newer drives and you have to force the drive to 150Mbit mode (via jumper) for it to work on these cards. Later SATA drives dropped the SATA-150 mode jumpers and won't work at...

Is 32-bit addressing turned on? If not, the OS can't use more than 8MB of RAM and the rest will appear to be used by the OS.

Ugh.....its worse when its actually shill bidding. Thank you for the scans. A lot of detail in here that is missing from Inside AppleTalk 2nd Edition. @Tashtari and others writing AppleTalk routers will find this helpful.

So the auction ended at an eye popping price....

That be "No low ballers, I know what I've got!" pricing. It also shows that this thread fulfilled its purpose.

I always found it hard to call BASIC.SYSTEM a true "command shell" given it lacks many built-in commands (ex: you have to load the utilities program to copy files). The reality is most 8-bit Apple II users didn't have a hard drive or used a GUI. The vast majority booted off of a given 5.25"...

There is a PiStorm32 for the 68020 based Amiga 1200. So far a version for the 3000/4000 CPU slot hasn't appeared.

Apple IIgs accelerators do the same thing. Any time something hits the I/O range of the memory map, its back to 1Mhz since its all timing sensitive.
