Interestingly enough the two boards I built are also freezing for me with AppleTalk, I tried first on my SE/30s (one with PDS lan card and the other without) and then after on a Classic II.  All running 7.1. If network cable is unplugged systems boot. If plugged in and EtherTalk is active...

@landoGriffin What was the fix here?

I would buzz out the lines to make sure they are straight through but as per the prior reply DB25 for SCSI is maybe already a bit suspect so I was looking for a recommendation on a half decent cable as these aren’t as readily available. There is a mono price cable on amazon that is 3ft which...

I finished building my Scuznets and am in the process of programming them. I have firmware loaded on the first board but I haven’t set any of the options yet as I wanted to at least make sure my programmer was going to work.    What I did realize though is that I don’t have a db25 m/m cable as...

While I don't dispute that it can be done - it is well past my own capabilities.  You'd need somebody who's pretty familiar with 68k ASM and is pretty motivated to spend the time required to understand exactly how to modify the program.

I’m not convinced of this. I think that trying to reverse engineer the protocol and ensuring that all possible permutations of Bolo packets are addressed, and then developing and making a proxy available is a pretty big undertaking.  Inserting the correct address right at the source would be...

Agreed but how would that help them to port the game to a totally different processor?

What kills me is that if the source code for bolo was public it would likely be pretty trivial to add a text box to enter your external IP address and embed that into the packets being sent rather than your macs internal IP address.  The code would then also look for that external IP address...

There is a Linux program called Mallory that at first glance seems to have be ability to modify UDP packets on the fly with a find replace type function.    I haven’t looked too far into this but it might be an option to route Mac traffic to a Pi and change the relevant parts of the UDP...

That's awesome cheesestraws!!   I wonder exactly how that is used?  I.e. When bolo wants to communicate with another machine I guess it takes the IP address from the packet instead of whatever header or other network information would typically be used?  If a bolo packet does make it back to...

Thanks - cheesestraws - I'm just trying to wrap my mind around what's being confirmed here - It's that the firewall was properly configured to allow traffic through, or that you captured the packets pushed out by Bolo and confirmed they had the local IP address embedded?

I am coming into this a little bit less well-versed on the background of this thread than many of you here are, but looking at this it makes me think that the tracker is an optional step to allow others to join a game.  If two Macs were each directly plugged into a cable model and the IP address...

It was a long time ago that I recapped my Duo AC adapter so I can't say for sure but I thought I had checked the voltages before plugging it into my Duo.  To clarify, you confirmed continuity between all "outputs" on the duo plug though (the two (or three?) on the inner pin plus the outer shield...

Hopefully you get this sorted.  "I would love to solder a few more Scuznet adapters" - said no-one ever. :-)    I'm about 80% of the way through soldering my two Scuznets and it's probably the most challenging soldering project I've ever done and I've done a fair amount of SMD soldering. ...

Correct - if you bought MLCCs (i.e. ceramics) they are not polarized. With regards to your system not starting up, you should be able to measure output on the power supply to rule that out without it being connected to the duo but it might be a bit of a process - if I recall, the connector is...

Not very helpful but I have found Fetch to be very unstable. It freezes up on me regularly on my se/30 with a pds lan card and on other machines with actual Ethernet.    Have  you tried deleting your AppleTalk preferences files?  Also can you connect to another AppleTalk server besides your...

To follow-up on this, I did end up replacing my IBM 5150's power supply with the same Seasonic I use for my SE/30s.  I used a 7905 and a couple of caps and a resistor on the -12v rail to get -5v and it's working great.  Might be an option if you did want to get -5V going so you have the complete...

What do you mean by isolating the logic board to analog board connection?  Where are you reading 0.18v?

This is it. My LC575 does the same thing with no (or a dead) pram battery

I don’t know what took so long. This all seems like pretty obvious stuff to me. /sarcasm
