    A/UX wishlist

    Not as far as I know, I believe the kernel manages the memory maps. The way shared libraries work on A/UX is they have to load at a specific address, mmap is the normal way of allocating that memory. Seeing as a program actually links to a stub, one could dissassemble the stubs and see how they...

    Rebuilding the disk on a server

    I use a Win2000 Server box using Services For Macintosh and happily store Apple files natively on the NTFS disks. The server will put the resource and finder information into two seperate NTFS streams ( :AFP_Resource and :AFP_AfpInfo ) so the technically there was no need for the ".sits". Note...

    Q605 not seeing FreeBSD/Netatalk server

    I would concentrate on getting AFP going. At least that is what netatalk is good at doing.

    Q605 not seeing FreeBSD/Netatalk server

    I would clear the address and zone information from your netatalk.conf. Zones only make sense to netatalk if it is active on multiple network cards and acting as a bridge between them. Remember the LocalTalk mac can't deal with Zones by itself, the netatalk's net address needs to be in the...

    Q605 not seeing FreeBSD/Netatalk server

    Once the machines are all up and running and you think everything should be working, unplug the power to the AsanteTalk, wait a minute, then and re apply the power to it. This should force the AsanteTalk box to renegotiate the zones. Unless you have a bridge or other device managing the...

    System 6 Browser Development Opinions

    Unfortunately real people have to write real code and that takes real time in the real world along side all the other real commitments and a real job. I am continuing the project and will do a drop for Xmas in whatever state it is in. If it isn't going at the pace you want you are welcome to...

    That is really stretching the definition of internet service provider. Ask them for an IPv6 address and see what they say.

    Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive

    No they aren't. Floppy diskettes are like records. Floppy diskette drives are like record players. ;) Also they aren't like records, a record has a single (or double in the case of Monty Python's Matching Tie and Handkerchief) groove which starts at the outside and finishes in the middle...

    OS X Finder Question...Change from OS 8/9 That's Odd...

    I dislike the modern MacOSX finder, I dislike modern applications doing their damndest to avoid daring to open another window and shove it all in the same window making it truely difficult to drag content from one folder to another. I was brought up with GUIs that in order to move files you did...

    Interface information for 400KB Floppy drive

    A disk comprises tracks. Each track has a number of sectors. The mac makes things interesting in that (a) it uses variable speed and more sectors on outer tracks ( B) it does not use the standard IBM MFM format. A disk controller controls a drive by stepping the head in and out, and reading...

    If you could get a fast enough FPU you could run NetBSD on it.
