FYI.....NetPresenz requires System 7.....

Just got a chance to try it out with 9.1 and 8.6. Works great! Thanks to bbraun, JDW, and protocol7 for their posts! Just to clarify, this only fixes mounting a Lion share on a Pre-OS X Mac that can do AppleShare over TCP/IP. The client in Lion still won't mount the same classic Mac's share...

Leopard works great with System 7.5.3 through 9.2.2 using TCP over AppleShare. The guys over at System 7 today even recommend 10.5 over 10.4. Read the second paragraph at the following link. http://main.system7today.com/articles/leopard/index.html

Snow Leopard won't help you. You cannot connect from Mac OS 9 to Snow Leopard (However, you can do the reverse). The AFP service in Snow Leopard is too new. You'll need the AFP service in plain old Leopard. Interesting idea from bbraun. I have a Leopard disc. Might have to give this a try...

It would be nice if someone put a GUI front end on Netatalk for Mac OS X. Something like Rumpus would be great. Select a folder or drive, setup users, and bam! Sharing all the way back to AppleShare 1.X.

JDW, the AppleShare Client number (In your example 3.8. 8) has nothing to do with the AFP server version. They are not related. Mac OS 9 can connect to AFP servers with 3.0. It looks like Snow Leopard introduced AFP 3.3, which broke the ability of Mac OS 9 to connect to it. In Lion, on the...

No, sorry. I haven't played with it in a couple of years, and no longer have a classic Mac that I can run it on (Just the Mac 512K these days!) I remember it working just fine on the LC I had back in the day.

AppleShare IP isn't going to help any. It doesn't have a version of AFP any "higher" or "better" than what it's contemporary client version was. Anyway you shake it, AFP 3.0 or higher (Introduced in Mac OS X) is needed these days. I don't have too much of a problem using FTP. It's easy to...

Hey Johnathan, I've never had any luck with the Telnet FTP server. The only thing I ever got to connect to it was another copy of Telnet on another Mac using the FTP client. If you're looking to turn a Mac Plus into a FTP server, you might try using NetPresenz. It's free and works on a Plus...

1984 actually. A stock, 64K ROM Mac 512K (September 1984) could be a client for file sharing with LocalTalk. Acorn did have built-in file sharing in the early 80's, but not in GUI form. :)

That was me! :lol:

Oh, wow! Well, I can tell you they do exist because I had one back in the late 90's! There was a time when I was collecting Mac 128K's, and I had three of them at one time. The last one I bought had been upgraded to a Mac 128Ke. I remember being disappointed at the time when I bought it...

Mac128, Do you have any documentation on Apple discourging this ROM upgrade? Everything thing I've ever seen (which is very little) from Apple implied that it was an upgrade appropriate for both the 512K and the 128K. It was sold seperately from the Mac Plus upgrade, which was also avaialble...

I guess "value" is in the eye of the collector. For me, the Plus is worth less than a Mac 512Ke. It was made for almost 5 years (more than any Mac ever) and is not hard to find. But, primarily, the Plus is much too advanced to make my experiments interesting. I can't believe anybody in the...

I'd say that's a fair assesment. Interestingly, Apple's model indentifier for the Mac 512Ke is 3, and the Mac Plus is 4. Clearly, despite the 4 month delay in getting the 512Ke out, Apple considered it to be chronoloically first. Perhaps the delay was a marketing decision by Sculley. Maybe...

I've never said I have a problem calling it a Mac 512Ke!!!! Read the documentation on my web page. http://web.me.com/nilesmitchell/Mac512k/The_Details.html I have always pointed in my techincal articles that I'm using a Mac 512Ke, and that EasyShare seems to require it. I was just picking...

Yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. Pretty standard stuff, really. The 128K ROM was designed for extended peripheral support: Double-Sided Drives, native HD20 support, SCSI support. System 6 (which works on a Mac 512Ke but not a Mac 512K) was released well over 2 years later. I highly...

Oh, and I've never though of a Mac 512K or Mac 512Ke as "Original Mac" That is exclusively the 128K, branded or otherwise.

Because I'm looking at the hardware when I make that statement. The Plus is a major upgrade, with SCSI, Double-Sided/HFS floppy, mini-din 8 serial ports, and SIMMS. The Mac 512Ke was created for one thing, Double-Sided/HFS compatibility with the new Plus. It is essentially a peripheral...

Didn't mean to imply that there isn't an impact to the user. Revisions can have an impact to a user, without being a new model. I strongly disagree that a Mac 512Ke is more of a emasculated Plus than a revised 512K.
