    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    I have been testing the SQLite backend with A2SERVER. Already found a few minor issues that should be fixed in the next release of Netatalk.

    5 Power Macs configured by AVID

    9600s were still being used (with AVID IIRC) by the post production team of the Maury talk show back in 2003. They were "old" even back then, but still cranking out trash TV for the masses. :p

    What is the technical reason why DDP AppleTalk doesn't work with WiFi?

    If you can see servers and connect to them, AARP should be working, which is what is usually mishandled by the WiFi access point. There may be other issues with multicast not working, which would screw with things like RTMP and ZIP packets. Does your ZuluSCSI machine properly acquire a node...

    TashTalk: Single-Chip LocalTalk Interface

    None of these emulators support "real" LocalTalk output. GSport does LLAP-to-ELAP translation (the emulator handles AARP) with hooks into the SCC emulation. The rest all use LToUDP hooks. It may be easier to just hack away at the SCC emulation itself to properly support a TashTalk device. GSport...

    What is the technical reason why DDP AppleTalk doesn't work with WiFi?

    On the mail interface selection screen use filter "atalk" for all DDP packets. I generally set this as "atalk or aarp" to get all startup traffic. Once sniffing, you can use "afp","asp","atp","aarp", and "pap" to isolate specific protocols as well. Wireshark does not have dissectors for MacIP...

    Any tips on using an ImageWriter II with a Lisa?

    The escape sequences/command set is backward compatible with the original ImageWriter and the "Apple Dot Matrix Printer" (basically a parallel port equipped lightly rebranded C-Itoh 8510), so yes... it'll work with the Lisa. Also of note, the Lisa supported color printing with the Canon PJ-1080A...

    Fun with userspace AppleTalk

    ASP isn't exactly a fast and efficient protocol. As you noted, the payload size per packet is limited. AFP over TCP is much faster.

    Do any current low-end laser printers play well (or poorly) with older (post-Classic) OS X macs?

    What model is your old printer? HP's old LaserJets are pretty serviceable. Many are impossible to kill, only being EOLed by lack of toner cartridge replacements. OS X 10.4+ is guaranteed to work with a printer that supports PCL or PostScript. Auto discovery via Bonjour/mDNS should work as well.

    Fun with userspace AppleTalk

    Just as long as its running OS 9. AFP 3.0 has a ton of changes that could complicate things in a trace with an older client.

    Fun with userspace AppleTalk

    The malformed packets may be a problem... or not. Gotta love the lack of error handling in classic MacOS though. When trying to root out bugs in Netatalk, I've found it helpful to do packet traces using one of Apple's AFP servers to see how the communication should progress. The built-in file...

    Fun with userspace AppleTalk

    You need to return error -5018 for ObjectNotFound. -5012 is for ItemNotFound.

    The Japanese D-Terminal component video socket uses the same connector and plug. The EIA-J specification document has the dimensions of both. Looks like the 3M MDR socket is a match per the datasheet...
