As for the FPU, you should be able to run it just fine without the FPU. Only certain programs used the FPU, see here. Most people will never need the FPU.

That's a somewhat common device, aka Farallon EtherWave Mac/PB Adapter or sometimes called the Farallon EtherWave Printer Adapter. It uses a custom chip in the middle with a heat sink strip, a Z80 CPU with some RAM and a DP83902 ethernet controller. I'd imagine there's a RS422 bus transceiver...

The images won't show up in DC because they don't have the right type and creator information. ZIP archives do not preserve resource forks. If the disk images are Read-Only Compressed images, you're SOL because without resource fork preservation the images are as good as useless. My...

I see you found that guy selling those on ebay :) TOPS has different interpretations. TOPS/Terminal was some kind very early TCP type of thing. TOPS/Macintosh was the Macintosh part of the TOPS file sharing stuff. Versions also existed for DOS, SUN and VMS/VAX stuff. It, like the next one...

65280 is a common network number. Since all that stuff is dynamically allocated, there's no reason to worry about it. You can read about network IDs, sockets and that kind of stuff here: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/mac/pdf/Networking/Introduction_to_AppleTalk.pdf

I'll send you a PM later today.

There is no contest from my side about Netatalk being good, but that doesn't invalidate the problem with either macipgw or NAT not working correctly that means that certain services don't work properly. What if I want to FTP to a remote server? A Plus can't run OpenTransport, so AFP over TCP...

I can help you install it from source, if you'd like. There's some specifics about the Pi that I don't know much about, but the rest is quite workable. You'll probably want to build it from source as chances are good you may want some specific features.

IPDDP I think came after MacIP. CAP also had various "stuff" going on with it because to be frank it was a mess back then and took some time for things to get figured out. When I'm referring to DDP/IP I'm thinking of stuff like this, there were a few other documents and early...

... No. Fetch 3.0 has a PASV setting that I tried out with macipgw and I didn't find any change. It probably actually works, but I'm not sure how exactly to monitor ftpd with OS X (probably via the log, idk) to check what the connection type is and what ports it's using to see if it's doing...

Great stuff! The only complaint I have left then would be whether macipgw could be examined to figure out why it doesn't work as smoothly (? is there such a thing?) on other types of TCP traffic. Like FTP.

The easiest way of finding out if it's a 512K or 512Ke is chose About the Finder from the Apple menu. In the lower left it should say either: 512K 512K. If it's got the period at the end, it's a 512Ke. 800K disks are the same thing as 720K PC double-sided, double-density disks. They're still...

Looks like a MacWrite file. Imported into Word 5.1, exported as PDF, then optimized for Acrobat 5. This one is December of '89, the other one is August of '89.

Our heroes at bitsavers.org have a wonderful A/UX PDF collection, browsable here. I believe Mr. Fahrenheit also backed those up. Assuming you have the boot floppy, you use 2 disk images on the BlueSCSI. I wouldn't have more as it increases the chances of a mistake. I would use something...

I'm thinking that SCSI2SD image was not designed for a BlueSCSI. They work differently. It's actually not that difficult to install A/UX 3.0.1. It's like 2-3 floppies and a CD image, the floppies aren't hard and the CD can live as a disk image on your BlueSCSI, which is how I did it.

Features are nice to have, but cost is a factor too. In the late 80's there was a big memory price spike and offering a computer with 8MB of memory was fabulously expensive. https://www.vice.com/en/article/the-year-that-the-entire-computer-industry-ran-out-of-memory/...

Looks quite servicable. Finding out info on that card is pretty slim pickings. Check Mac Driver Museum for drivers.

Wow there literally is almost zero information about this product and/or service. No information about the cards, drivers, nothing.

I like it. I'd move Server Status to the front default page (idk...) global config & options to another tab, otherwise, I have no complaint. Someone else might have a better idea though. I'm looking nervously at that 633,556 characters in v.4.0 of CMN on just index.html...and it's going to get...
