I'm guessing some of this tooling dates from NeXT or early 90s Apple and never updated. DHCP was around for quite some time when the iMac came out.

The current release of Netatalk 2.4 and 4.0 should work out of the box. Just un-comment the "cupsautoadd" line in papd.conf and away you go.

Chris Edwards just put up a video about this with details on the refill. One gotcha is that one of the how-tos online had the wrong replacement o-ring size for the water blocks.

PPP can carry more then just IP as it is a Layer 2 protocol. AppleTalk-over-PPP is native DDP, although you'll have to use Apple's remote access software as a server since the Linux kernel long since dropped what little support it had for PPP based AppleTalk. As for serial port speeds, people...

Given that folks are running LocalTalk over barbed wire fence..... and thru water...... I'm guessing it doesn't matter too much.

Instructions below are Debian specific (should work on Ubuntu) and may need tweaking for your distribution. The janky solution used in A2SERVER involves a systemd service file. https://github.com/NJRoadfan/a2server/blob/currentdev/files/macipgw.service.txt Copy this to...

What is the maximum theoretical transfer speed of NuBus? The bus alone presents a huge bottleneck. Add in that these cards are likely polled I/O driven and not bus mastering DMA (read: Cheap) attached to an OS not exactly known for its I/O throughput.

In other news, all the UAMs in Netatalk now use libgcrypt, simplifying configuration (one library does it all), and satisfying the internet lawyers being 100% GPL compatible*. It only took like 15-20 years for it to happen. *Fun fact: Netatalk bundled with Debian was always compiled with the...

I wasn't able to get Jason's example working on my network. Even when I got the kernel forwarding enabled, packets wouldn't correctly route to the subnet from my main network. I suspect that my home router had a faulty RIP implementation. What does work is what @mactjaap did for the macipgw VM...

If the Ethernet connected Macs aren't seeing a reply to their GetNetInfo packets, you are running into the infamous Linux AppleTalk broadcast kernel bug present in any kernel before 6.9. Move the eth0 line to the last line in your atalkd.conf from my example if it isn't there already. Like this...

Only thing I see in the source that comes to mind is the ProDOS Info Block that contains the File Type/Aux Type information.

The "short name" is the one explained starting on page 13-13 of Inside AppleTalk. It is requested using bit 7 in the file or directory bitmap with a GetFileDirParams call. Apple only specified its usage for MS-DOS clients. Pretty sure ProDOS clients do not use it as the Workstation Card and...

Going to have to figure out a bridged networking solution for AppleTalk packets. In other news, Netatalk does not work with the Apple (and later Farallon) MS-DOS clients. A minor bug in the client causes it to not detect RandNum UAM support on the server, but even if you get logged in, you...

Its the world's most generic PCI Ethernet card, the DEC Tulip. Supported by virtually all OSes and emulated by all fine virtual machines everywhere.

@twelvetone12 There IS a command line AFP client that supports AppleTalk: https://github.com/demonfoo/afp-perl Written in Perl of all things.

Matrox did put higher quality DACs on their cards. My G400 looked nice and sharp on a CRT running 1280x1024 at 70Hz, vs a much newer ATI Radeon card. The ATI was noticeably blurry and smeary. Its a moot point if you are using a DVI connection though, which I eventually did with the Matrox since...

Standard TI OHCI Firewire card. Should just use stock Apple drivers.

Orphaned as in, the data is still in the .AppleDouble folder, but won't be accessed anymore. Note, the extended attributes I am referring to are the ones created by macOS, such as the infamous "com.apple.quarantine" and other metadata. Off hand, I don't know of any applications that store...

To maintain 100% netatalk 2.x behavior with 3.x and newer, you need to setup the share with the following options. appledouble = v2 ea = ad The first option saves resource fork data and classic attributes such as FinderData to a file to the .AppleDouble directory. The second option saves MacOS...
