Thanks for the free advertising! ;) I still prefer the original IIgs monitor - love the form factor.

Very cool - that would make Dark Castle actually winnable!

Thank you so much!

I'd suggest the IIgs - it will run most of the old Apple II stuff and it's also the most Mac-like. With an Uthernet card and PiSCSI, you can share files between your vintage Macs and IIgs and also print to a modern printer over your network with both.

I agree! 😏

v3.1.1 with multiple wifi modems and v3.5.11 are up and running at: v3.1.1 - crowsnestbbs.ddns.net:6400-6403 v3.5.11 - crowsnestbbs.ddns.net:6801 Check 'em out before they're gone!

Nope - I could only find 6 door games that would work with v3.5 or greater, but there are at least 16 door games that work with versions prior to 3.5. What I was describing above was how to install a stable version of v3.5.11 Hermes II on a 68K Mac. In my search for door games, I also found...

The screenshots are from v3.1.1.

You can download them from my Mac file server at afp://cqbbs.ddns.net under the Mac BBS Host Software folder.

I'm using the same v2.x of cbmstuff's WiModem232. You need to make sure that your cable is wired correctly. A bunch of the cables on eBay aren't truly high-speed even though they say they are: This is what your node and init string should look like (with proper serial port selected)...

Thank you! I always forget about the Mac Driver Museum site...

That's what I'm planning on using it for. Where can I find this driver?

I'm thinking about getting one of these cards. Where were you able to find the drivers?

After fiddling around with this some more, I was able to get the latest beta (3.5.11) to run stably on my IIci with TCP connections. I installed 3.5.10 and used the existing System Prefs file (under Hermes Files -> Shared Files) from a previous 3.5.2 installation. Just don't copy over the...

Thank you so much! Netatalk remains a must-have for me for moving files between my vintage and modern Macs so it's great to see it still being updated.

Fast forward a few years later and I started playing around with Hermes II again! I tested out all the versions I could find - 1.0, 3.0, 3.11, 3.5.2, 3.5.9, and 3.5.11. I also dug up as many Hermes II door games as I could find. I'm posting here so it's at least documented somewhere. Here's...

Thanks for keeping our 68k Macs well-served! :)

I'd go with the IIgs, and then you can play IIgs games too!

Thanks for the suggestion but both Systems are running the same version of AppleTalk (v1.1) and OT (v1.3.1).

I think you're right - I can upload to my RaSCSI file server which only has 825 MB free (although it freezes at the end but hitting STOP still completes the transfer) but not to my other netatalk server which has 19 GB free.
