Apple IP Gateway uses proxy ARP with a pool of configured IP addresses in the Ethernet network's subnet, thus no IP masquerading/NAT is involved. IPNetRouter is a full blown router with NAT that supports port forwarding and likely has it setup for FTP by default. The Linux nftables firewall can...

I managed to get brew to compile almost all the prereqs on a 4GB mid-2012 MacBook Air running Catalina. It errored out on MySQL and I think one of the things required for Spotlight. It was slow, but didn't take 24 hours. What makes it take so long is the brew scripts insist on running all the...

During my testing of Netatalk and various versions of MacOS, I came across a rather interesting bug. If the File Type for a given file is all null values (0x00), the Finder will refuse to update any of the Finder Information about the file. This includes information like the label color, icon...

My recommendation, since this is a desktop, try testing a modern SATA SSD with a SATA-to-PATA adapter. Its entirely possible the cheapo SD adapter doesn't properly support UDMA modes. As for CF adapter cards, many also have problems going into UDMA mode due wiring issues on the adapters. The...

Right now I'm openly sharing files off my APFS formatted Catalina machine with MacOS 8 and 9 clients, which is the primary use case for this integration. Unlike Apple's server, Netatalk is fully AFP2.x compliant and supports legacy UAMs, not just DHX2. No more hacking in some older version of...

If you happen to run Netatalk on a macOS host, some significant enhancements are on the way. This should nearly replicate the functionality of Apple's now deprecated AFP server in macOS. The big one is that resource forks are now natively stored in the file system as opposed to using "._"...

GPIO pins 16 and 17 likely need to be remapped to RTS/CTS. Adding gpio=16-17=a3 to your RPi config.txt will address that.

Apple's drivers only support the CD-SC drives. Make sure the Media Control toolset (Tool038) and drivers are installed, particularly the AppleCDSC driver. The MediaCtrl.CDSC script in the GS/OS installer can do this for you.

Stuff-It Expander 5.1.4 on MacOS 9 and The Unarchiver on macOS.

Guess AE took a page from Commodore (or was it the other way around?) with slowing down the rotation speed to meet the data rate requirements with an older controller. The same method was used with the FDHD drive in the Amiga 4000 to work with the Paula controller. Looks like the original AEHD...

The AppleShare 3 printer and file servers appear in folders after extraction. The archive is working fine and I have installed on System 7.1 without issue.

Before I even got this far, I knew that Apple chip would be the same as the PC Transporter disk interface. Applied Engineering also had the "AE HD" drive that allowed Apple IIgs machines (with driver) to read and write GCR 1.6MB floppies. AE had an "AE HD+" drive for the Macintosh that allowed...

Its common to handle tasks on clock ticks with emulators. Its not surprising that most emulators the int main() is just one big loop :). Somehow the GSport SCC emulation was able to handle this without a problem along with bridging to EtherTalk (with Ethernet speeds).

minivmac's LToUDP implementation has some bugs. Through testing with tashtalkd and TashRouter indicates its a problem with minivmac itself. The emulator's ability to transmit data onto the network seems to be speed limited, roughly to the speed of a modem. This is very noticeable if you ever try...

Cheap generic PICkit clones have no problem programming a TashTalk. I managed to get one for under $20 on ebay.

The PowerBook still isn't seeing all zones, but a complete shutdown of both TashRouter and atalkd and then restart should clear that up. Its completely normal for routers to develop stale zone tables when you are starting up and shutting down routers one at a time.

Most Mac emulators patch the ROM to an extent. Its one reason why the machine is fairly easy to emulate! It wasn't until efforts like MAME or QEMU that there was any attempt to emulate the machine with actual hardware.

Motorola had a different approach to Intel in that the newer generation CPUs weren't 100% compatible with software written for the earlier generation. Apple got away with this by not supporting older OS versions on newer hardware. The Amiga worked around it by having loadable CPU libraries in...

I think I know what might be going on. Change the MAC address used by TashRouter for the tap interface, it should not match the one NetBSD assigned the interface on creation. For A2SERVER, I just use a completely bogus address (AA:BB:CC: DD:11:22) since its a virtual interface anyway. ie...

This is an invalid configuration. Both atalkd and TashRouter both need the same zone list configured on tap0. The atalkd line should be as follows in this case: tap0 -seed -phase 2 -net 3 -addr 3.33 -zone "Danger Zone" -zone "EtherTalk Network" Anyway, one more thing to try. TashRouter had a...
