The Canon PX engine is rated for a whopping 4 pages per minute. I have a LaserJet 4MP with the RAM maxed out to 22MB and its still slow.

Resource forks should be stored in AppleDouble format. Use the OS X standard (._Filename) which specifies an entry for FinderInfo and the Resource Fork (in that order). It works with Netatalk out of the box and macOS should handle it as well. Also... you could port Adlib Tracker 2. :P

Manually specifying the printer name via papd.conf circumvents the name mangling and truncation that the CUPS support does automatically via cupsautoadd. Basically, if your CUPS queue had that long name already, papd would have cut it off at 31 characters.

That would do it. The parsing of papd.conf is based on ancient code that was used to parse printcap files back in the day. They used the same formatting to ease administration in the pre-CUPS age. Note, I don't think you actually need to specify a PPD file for CUPS printer queues. They are...

The Linux kernel used to support the PAS16: https://git.samba.org/?p=jlayton/linux.git;a=blob;f=sound/oss/pas2_mixer.c;h=a0bcb85c39046a8c4878b6367e6bd2cc938e2140;hb=c3c9897c63ebb0b93b7f78724e38d6ee1da04041...

Heh, talk about a lazy design. They seem to have told someone "Take this ISA card and make it work on Nubus". Some x86 ASM samples for the mixer can be found in this zip: http://www.symphoniae.com/soundcard/MediaVision/SDK/PASSDK_201.zip check the PAS\SUBS\MIXER directory.

Passing packets doesn't require the kernel to have DDP support, even then its the AARP packets that get mangled. Kernel support is only needed if file or printer sharing services are running on the device itself.

The Airport Extreme might be too new to have any AppleTalk support since it was released after Apple dropped DDP from OS X. The onboard file and printer sharing would be the only functions that would need such support.

My beige G3 detects onboard as primary only if a monitor is plugged in. You could also turn off the onboard video entirely with some OpenFirmware settings.

Yeah, jrouter uses libpcap to get its packets onto a network adapter. Those packets won't be visible to Netatalk's atalkd running on the same machine.

QuickDraw has limited support for color prior to the Macintosh II. It mostly existed for color printer support.

You should be able to connect the two via a tap interface. Looking at jrouter, it can be configured with an alternate MAC address to allow for this. https://gitea.drjosh.dev/josh/jrouter/src/branch/main/jrouter.yaml I would try uncommenting the ethernet_addr: line as a first step. If that...

Apple did build a machine that did this in 1986...... the Apple IIgs. Technically the 640x200 SHR mode can only support 4 solid colors, but you can have two different palettes staggered across every other column of graphics, leading to 16 dithered colors...

Not likely. If its using something similar to libpcap to inject packets into the host's interface (like VirtualBox's "bridge" interface option), other VMs on the machine can't "see" those packets. Many VMs have provisions to allow this to work properly with TCP/IP, but it doesn't extend to other...

Sorry, meant afp.conf, not netatalk.conf. Note that atalkd will not "make up" a zone name. If no router is found, it will pick an address in the startup range (network in the 65000 area). Running jrouter on the same machine in another container is likely an issue. The two containers likely can't...

If you have a seed router on the network (in this case, jrouter), just enter a network interface in ATALKD_INTERFACE and leave ATALKD_OPTIONS blank. This will force atalkd to issue a ZIPGetNetInfo packet to request network information and automatically configure the interface for use. By...

A GatorBox is still useful as a LocalTalk-to-Ethernet bridge. AIR 3.0 implements a somewhat more complex tunneling protocol to cut down on bandwidth use by RTMP packets and such over the bridge. The GatorBox tunnels were fairly simple, just forwarding any AppleTalk traffic over the tunnel. Bad...

The 74A cartridge in my LJ4MP has the opposite problem. For some reason it doesn't deposit toner at all onto statically charged portions of the drum. Printer itself is working, I can see a light ghost of the test page on the paper.

Apple later expanded this concept in HFS and AppleShare with the Catalog Node ID, giving every file a unique identifier alongside of the file names. Its a key part of how alias work.
