Hate to be that guy that says "it works for me" because that such a cookie-cutter Linux thing to say. The only issues I had with A/UX in the limited use I have with it is with 1.1.1 corrupting itself in Shoebill, 2.0.1 corrupting itself on a real machine. 3.0.1 and 2.0.0 have been fine, although...

In the link below is a BlueSCSI compatible image of A/UX 2.0.0. Try that and let me know how it turns out if you would. A/UX is kind of a niche topic that isn't really well understood and there's probably only a tiny number of people who are both UNIX experts but also familiar with the "issues"...

I installed A/UX 2.0, 2.0.1 and 3.0.1 (the WGS version or something, idk) on a IIci with no issues, aside from the learning curve associated with it. Can't recommend the floppy approach, but I did do that and the CD install with the BlueSCSI external. Does A/UX 2.0 work?

ya Basic just clips out all that information, Advanced shows you what you see above, and Admin mode just does Advanced but requires a password. You normally don't need to mess with any of that, since usually there's only one "zone", which is just "*" meaning "anything". But if you had zones...

What you're seeing is likely just the network number and the node number assignments. Usually, these are automatically assigned and you don't normally need to do anything. Does it look anything like the left control panel? You probably won't have any zones unless you have an AppleTalk router...

Well if he could, he probably wouldn't be posting here. He also indicated on another channel that he has a difficulty with fine motor control, which happens as you get older. Many old people also have less acuity in their eyes, so it's more difficult to do things that require precision. You...

Already tried that :) Think the only way it might pop up is if Al Kossow manages to get ahold of it somehow and throw it up on bitsavers. Like some of the other manuals I've got my eye on, I know they're out there, well maybe, I have a sneaking suspicion it might be really boring.

That's probably not an appropriately useful response to someone you don't know. He didn't ask if he could do it or not: he asked if someone appropriately qualified has the ability to do it. It might also need a drive alignment, which may require a reference drive that he may not have access to.

Installing Apple Internet Router beyond 7.0.1/7.1 is probably a less than favorable situation. Early PowerPC 601 Macs can definitely boot some special version of 7.1, and are in this regard, among others, more desireable.

Can you try connecting over LocalTalk first? I've read a few reports that indicated "issues" with using the BlueSCSI WiFi feature, which also uses DynaPORT drivers. All of my BlueSCSI devices are WiFi enabled, but I haven't bothered with the feature. Probably should have picked up an original...

RJ14 wire should have 4 wires. It's generally the most common, but if you use RJ11 2 pin wire, it's not going to work because that's only Tip 1 and Ring 1, which PhoneNET doesn't use. See the link below for more. It has a pretty good dive into PhoneNET.

Can you measure the acceleration performance difference?

32MiB of RAM is more than enough to satisfy whatever you can think of using on this machine and still has plenty left over. You'd be hard pressed to find a program that can push 8MiB of RAM that doesn't drag the whole machine to a crawl. Internet Explorer 4 is one AFAIK. More than that and...

I think the Hakko FX-888D is a good unit, but the interface to adjust temperature is unintuitive and as such, I unknowningly threw mine out of calibration merely by adjusting the temperature offset, not the desired temperature. Nobody has a soldering iron calibration thing where I live either...

Does the build of Netatalk 4.0 in your repository enable AppleTalk or is it only using AFP over TCP?

I doubt you'll find it on those CDs. APDA stuff wasn't normally on that stuff. Consider this: Have we found other APDA documentation/publications there? There might be DTS notes or other things, but not stuff like R0070LLA: AppleTALK for Unix v.4.

A sharp image of the motherboard means a subject matter expert can tell just by looking at the RAM area and ... is it a few resistors? Pretty sure the ROMs are the same, or at least similar. If it boots and works properly, the About the Finder... will tell you right away too. Those LC ROMs are...

A lot of 128K macs were upgraded to 512Ks. A closer inspection would be required to say for sure if it is a real 128K.

JDW did a test here some years back, around the time of the Great Crash of 2014, using a Sorenson converter and QuickTime. Results weren't that great, but could be worse. 320x240 with 24 fps is pretty normal, if you're lucky, but 15 fps was more typical. I can't find the posts.

They did make video input processing cards, but they were *expensive* and most people tend to hold on them pretty well. Usually the A/V Macs were what you'd need for that, all of which were '040 or PPC, which wasn't a complete solution, but better than none. How much video playback is required...
