No affiliation with the seller, but there's a guy on eBay selling TOPS FlashBoxes. I bought one of them, and of course the very first thing I did is take it apart. It's just a 2 layer board from what I can tell, nothing but traces on the backside. There was a sticker on top of the PAL chip, I...

I don't particularly blame them. Fortunately there's a job title called a technical writer. Some of the manuals (like A/UX manuals) that have been written in the past are actually quite good at blending the line between technical nerdery and something a common man can understand and follow along...

I think without clear examples showing common usage scenarios a man page is almost worthless and I'd be just as well off with --help flags and trying to decipher those. Some man pages are good. Example: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/nfs.5.html Probably too good though, it almost...

That won't change anything concerning the network stack. MacTCP is old and they made a lot of mistakes with it, but some improvements were made with OT. On the other hand, OT is a huge memory hog, bloats up the size of the System Folder, cannot run on floppy disks, drags down system...

Nevermind.

ya I try to shy away from Mac Repository for ... "reasons" and usually refuse to even go there unless that's the only place that has something. If you need help testing to make sure it works, I can offer a sick G3 that has weak capacitors, battery bomb damage, all HDDs DOA when I got it, the...

I guess I'm confused. The default instructions do not include it, so I'm guessing webmin is optional, which it should be. I feel like it should be default to -Dwith-webmin=True -- if someone doesn't have it, it doesn't really harm anything. If they do, all is well. If they don't and change their...

Do you have plans to offer a retrofit service to upgrade the GALs to something else to keep up with the updates?

http://applefool.com/se30/moreinfo.html#dataencoding I would expect the .sea archive to be a writeoff. The loss of resource fork data can sometimes be unrecoverable.

Demo'd an installation with Linux Mint 22 in a VM. Broken link here at the bottom, it links to https://github.com/Netatalk/netatalk/blob/main/INSTALL which doesn't exist. It's probably supposed to be INSTALL.md I'm not sure if -Dwith-webmin=true needs to be included? When I built it the first...

If you are using WiFi, then what could be happening is DDP isn't being passed through because of a well-known issue with EtherTalk frames. https://68kmla.org/bb/index.php?threads/what-is-the-technical-reason-why-ddp-appletalk-doesnt-work-with-wifi.45811/ I'm not familiar with the PiSCSI, but...

You can't really test an oscillator without a power supply and an oscilloscope, with a good reference of what is in spec and what is not. Oscillators also sometimes require certain capacitors to go along with them, if I'm not seriously mistaken. If the card is having "issues", it's been a safe...

Pretty much like LocalTalk Bridge. Interesting in that it runs under System 6, but not much else I found interesting about it. If you'd like a speed test, I can do that too but given that LocalTalk struggles to go beyond 20KiB/sec even on the best of times, I wouldn't expect much. I'd imagine...

ya the Nubus ones are different. It's basically a MacCon 30ie just a bit different. Try this. Boot up the TroubleShooter with the Asante 5.6.1 driver disk and see what it says. I got 5 bacon cheeseburger frosties that says that 20MHz crystal is on its way out. I love the soldering hack...

Asante's part numbers are sure all over the place. Can we get a picture of this card, the MacNIC II/E? Only two results are returned by google for this card. You appear have the collision light on. This means that the card is experiencing an issue itself or something else is transmitting at...

RAMDisk+ cannot preserve the contents of a RAM disk when a machine is rebooted. Only Q700+ that have the RAM disk allocation in the Memory control panel can do this. What you're probably thinking of is the automatic hot-swapping of the active volume that RAMDisk+ v2 likes to do automatically.

The WRT54G is a great unit, and lasted for many years. However I had a big argument on the DD-WRT forums which basically led me conclude that the WRT54G firmware available with DD-WRT is not truely compatible with 10BASE-T forced speed and mode. It's compatible with it, and works with 10BASE-T...

You must be a resilient individual to consider 8.0 "is not that bad". I was just using 8.1 yesterday on the IIci and ... no way I could put up with that on a daily basis. You shouldn't need any driver. Most MacCons are picked up by System 7 and up's Installers because most of them use National...

1. There is, but not significant enough to specifically choose RS422. Based on what your top statement was, I'd recommend RS232. 2. 230400bps. There is a difference in the serial ports. Early Macs used interrupt based SCCs; starting with the IIfx, certain models used I/O Serial DMA chips which...

I got a maximum of 866KiB/sec on a AsanteFAST 10/100 with a Rocket under System 6 for a download and 606KiB/sec upload. Agree with Unknown_K that the networking performance is mediocre, but still very easy to set up compared to NFS...
