What a weird decision.

Yes, I thought it was something like that. I'm using the netatalk systemd service that comes with the Arch package, but I didn't check if that's straight from upstream or they fiddle with it, so it might be the packaging. At any rate SQLite is a thing I know and trust so if you think it's mature...

Ah, very cool, I meant to see if I could get in touch with you to add it to the documentation. I don't log in to Github anymore, so I can't add this, but as stated, I also had trouble with the default CNID backend. Here's a snippet of what my logs looked like before I switched to the sqlite...

Adding the icon worked! Thanks a lot. Now I have file sharing. Cool.

I've got System 7.6.1 on a Quadra 700. OT 1.3.1 and AppleShare 3.8.3 (latest as per System 7 Today). Netatalk 4.4.2 on x86 Arch Linux with AppleTalk enabled. I can share a CUPS printer and print, but when I try to mount an AFP share, the Mac crashes with a bus error. I can log in, see the list...

It sometimes works but sometimes it either freezes the machine or leads to weirdness later. I only ever use it to get a chance to save and reboot in an orderly fashion.

It looks like the Q650 has the same port layout as the 700, but obviously has the extra Nubus slot. The port layout of the IIci is a little different. A shame, I'd like the extra slot (and... cheap RAM) in my 700, but I don't want to chop up the case.

I'm just happy some version has been preserved. I couldn't find anything at all beyond that manual. It's a bit niche, but everything deserves to be documented, doesn't it? I'll grab it if I ever find one, that's certain.

Where did I put my AAUI adapter?!

I don't know a whole lot about ADB, but the manual mentions "secret" codes - so to a first approximation, is it just sending a fixed code for each button, which then gets translated by the software? Because that seems... simple to redo.

https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/jlcooper-cs-1-controller-driver Ah! Cool. I couldn't find it because I was expecting a space in JL Cooper. Have you got one? I wonder if it would be easy-ish to clone it.

Have you ever seen a JL Cooper CS-1? It's an ADB controller specifically for early audio editing software such as ProTools and SoundEdit. Manual here: https://www.jlcooper.com/_manuals/legacy/CS-Series/CS-1_Mac_User_Manual.pdf But no software.

They're not image files, the card has a readable Apple partition map with actual partitions much as if it were a SCSI HD. I'm able to mount the Mac partitions on my Linux machine if I just plug the SD card into a reader, that's why I thought dumping the whole thing to a file would work. The...
