I'll try to respond the best I can here and on the github issue request. To put it simply, I don't have an AsantéTalk bridge to do actual testing of the various Netatalk services. The only AppleTalk "bridge" solution I have ready access to is Apple's LocalTalk Bridge running on a Mac. The rest...

A lot of those Dell monitors have GENESIS "Display Perfection" video processors in them. Seems that supporting down to 15khz is an undocumented feature of them. Believe it or not, I have TVs that support 15khz, but only via the HDMI port. This is mostly only available when using something like...

AFP has a function called FPCopyFile that can duplicate a file 1:1... well at least it should. Its dependent on the server's file copy routines, which at least with Netatalk DOES produce an identical file. What I see here is a Finder bug..... and there are MANY. Not surprised there are bits of...

Does the drive work on a real Apple IIe 5.25" card or IIgs? I'd rule out if the drive is working first if you haven't tested it elsewhere.

The Apple IIe card only works with the later "Apple 5.25 Drive" (model #A9M0107). If you have the identical looking "Unidisk 5.25 Drive" (model #A9M0104), it will not work with the LC IIe card since the card doesn't output the required -12v on its 19pin connector.

Either do the above, or implement proxy ARP in macipgw like the hardware MacIP routers do.

These were so called "QuickDraw" printers. All the rendering was done on the machine itself and sent to the printer as a raster image. Generally no 3rd party drivers exist for these printers. The best printers to find are the ones that use Postscript and hopefully have Ethernet along with...

The ImageWriter doesn't reply back as a plaintext papstatus response. It outputs 2 bytes, and the various bits need to be decoded to get the current status. The current versions of papstatus now decode this, but the output might not be what this script is expecting. Sending PostScript to an...

Can you post the contents of the check-maciprpi.sh script? Its likely assuming the printer is a LaserWriter.

Quadras are going to get a bit of a boost in transfer speeds as they have newer SCSI chips along with SCSI Manager 4.3 drivers.

This isn't going to work with Ethernet. The IIe card software likely only has support for LocalTalk. AppleTalk is a two part system on the Apple II. One part of the stack is resident in ROM (or the IIe card software in this case) and supports all the lower level protocols, while the OS loads...

Its likely MAC locked, looking for the Apple OUI (MAC starts with 00:05:02 in the example above). Looking at OUI registration dates, it could also be 00:10:FA too.

Quite possibly the second most generic 10/100 card out there, one of many based on the DEC "Tulip" chip. Its likely Apple's driver has limited PCI device IDs programmed into it... on purpose.

Netatalk 2.x supports this. Support was removed from Netatalk 3.0 to simplify the codebase.

This might have been a side effect of the fixes made for RTMP or the ImageWriter LocalTalk card. Watching actual traffic from AppleTalk routers, the only packets that must always use Short DDP packets are the RTMP broadcasts from the router itself. Everything else uses Long DDP packets on a...

The pinout is documented in the ImageWriter LQ technical reference.

The GEM screenshot is actually 640x200 stretched to 640x400 to correct the aspect ratio. The ST did support 640x400, but only with a monochrome monitor. All three of the 16-bit micros offered GUIs running on 640x200 (hence why I mentioned the IIgs as a "what if" situation), so it was a...

Yes, you can using the PAP backend for CUPS, which now ships with Netatalk. The biggest limitation with ImageWriters is that they only have black and white support, but a color driver is in the works.

As I've said before, I'm surprised Apple equipped a 600dpi PostScript printer with only 2MB of RAM. The 4MP came with 6MB stock with 2xSIMM sockets to add up to 16MB more. They are very versatile printers, one reason why my 4MP is still on my desk... albeit a paperweight at the moment since it...
