Well, in meantime I discovered some strange behaviour of NICs, especially the Apple 10/100MBps, Product number sa0025, stated as compatible to the ANS. When using AIX 4.1.4.0 it "notices" both speeds (10 and 100 MBps) but only "defines" the 100 MBps functionality - which leaves this unusable to...

I would like to annotate something here. I've been dismantling my ANS several times by now hoping to get some more informtion about hardware capabilities and compatibilities. I've also been contacting several ANS and RS/6000 owners about some topics. To me it seems quite clear that an ANS is...

Well, Ebbi my friend, will surely be of some fun I suppose but I´m trying to get along with the machines I already got ;-) For some odd reason IBM never intersted me that much until now and to be honest I never understood UNIX the way it should supposed to be ;-) J

The major difference between AIX and other UNIXes is the handling of physical disk space in accordance to the logical handling. While other UNIXes "just" need large enough partitions for swap space, user slice, root slice and else AIX has this unique ability to add storage space later on without...

I'm not of much help either, but I will try. "rootvg" stands for "Root Volume Group" - can consist of one ore more physical harddrives containing the base operating system and a configured root user account. In using smit as software solution AIX is able to bind several hard disks together into...

Well, I didn't have a shot like this but several "single-shots", all at no cost for me: 1. NeXTstation Turbo Color with 21" NeXT Color Display in mint condition 2. Macintosh Portable (Backlit) with working hard disk and RAM upgrade 3. Quadra 700 4. Mac SE/30 (definetly not mint condition but...

Last additional note: IF all this is working it doesn´t necessarily mean that You can "SEE" Your connected Mac! To be more exact: when using my other Macs with Mac OS 8.5 over 9.xx up to 10.5.4 I never "see" my Plus, also standard "connect to server" connections don´t work, I can´t even ping...

Well, this is going to be "voodoo" as equill already stated. Let´s begin with that SCSI troubles that might appear. You stated that the EN/SC has the ability to be terminated or not. The next this is the fact that a Macintosh Plus does not utilize an internal hard disk so in order to use a hard...

Will do very well, I´m using three of that kind without any problems. Well, not to 100%. Especially older Macs (maybe not the PowerBooks) tend to drop that functionality in accordance to their type of ethernet controller, SCSI controller or whatever. For example: my Plus with an Asante EN/SC...

I´m using Mac OS 7.5.5 - thanks to a RAM upgrade I´m quite comfortable with that OS on the PB 145b. Now the solution... I´m supposing You are using MacTCP (control panel) and NOT TCP/IP that came with 7.5.3... In this case the solution to find the MAC adress of Your adapter is very simple...

No need for "Thank You"s as this board it meant for help like this ;-) Let me describe it in words: Powerbook < Ethernet cable > 10 MBit Hub ... now it depends if there is a switch (10/100MBit autosensing) or just the router. If there is an additional switch (which I recommend!) it...

Simple question, simple answer: no. As far as I remember those Asante adapters offered two possibilities to determine the MAC adress. On most adapter cases a little bar code sticker showed a combination of letters and numbers that represented the MAC adress. The other one - but here I might be...

Just a little annotation: the single-colored logo only appears on the dark black / anthrazite / grey whatever ADS II models. The beige version still bears the rainbow colors. J

As far as I remember the software "QuickTime Conferencing Kit" contains driver for that phone and the camera in one package. I've stored that somewhere on my Xserve but I think it's still up on Apple's support FTP area, too... J

Let me contribute another picture, too. It is german language but just in case I can translate: These are my own pair of ADS ;-) J

Always interesting to see, how John Sculley was involved in the early days at Apple. Cupertino really did everything to get him over and I bet that these bouncing Pepsis were some sort of tribute after he left PepsiCo. Anyway, in these days he was heavily involved with the "Macintosh" and...

As far as I know "Mac like things" (the developer group of the ADS) never produced or invented a subwoofer for these boxes. In fact, any subwoofer is just a passive bass box driven by a small board within the major amplifying right (?) channel loudspeaker. I tried to connect an active subwoofer...
