I have plenty of machines with which to browse the web. It would be fun to get a text-only browser running on the PowerBook, but really my primary goals are to be able to move files between it and other machines on my ethernet LAN and to be able to print from it to one of the printers on my...

While I wait for my NuBus ethernet card to arrive, I'd like to upgrade the system software on my PowerBook 230 to the best version that was produced for it, in hopes that it by doing so I will increase my chances of success in getting the PowerBook "networked". My PowerBook 230 has a 68K...

Update... I found for $20 (including shipping) a Daynaport NuBus ethernet card, which hopefully will arrive in the next week or two. Possibly this will work better than the AsanteTalk device.

Well, although I find trying to get old equipment to work a pleasurable pasttime, I'm not particularly inclined to spend much money on this PowerBook project. If I could find a Nubus ethernet card for $10 or less, I might jump on it, but my experience with eBay in recent months is that shipping...

OK... lots to respond to. First of all, the Duo Dock I have is, I believe, the "first generation" Duo Dock. It has 2 NuBus slots (both currently empty). It has a SCSI port with an "HDI-30" connector... nothing is connected to this. It has an Apple Desktop Bus port, to which a keyboard/mouse...

Do you think it would help for me to try to upgrade the OS on the PowerBook 230 from "System 7.1" to something newer?

See comments below, interspersed in a message porter sent earlier... my text is hopefully in italics. The best bet is to.... Make sure you are using proper LocalTalk cabling to the AsanteTalk box, not just a serial/printer cable. I have only one mini-DIN8 cable. I hope it is the correct...

I have no other Macs on my network, and netatalk is only installed on this one Linux machine (quad).

I'm beginning to wonder if the problem is either in the AsanteTalk device or in the PowerBook or Duo Dock. I added "eth0" to my atalkd.conf file and restarted my Linux box. Now I get: dave@quad:/etc/netatalk$ atalkd eth0: Operation not permitted Can't configure multicast. eth0: multicast...

Well, Chooser still shows me nothing. I also do not see the appletalk sockets: dave@quad:/home$ netstat -i Kernel Interface table Iface MTU Met RX-OK RX-ERR RX-DRP RX-OVR TX-OK TX-ERR TX-DRP TX-OVR Flg eth0 1500 0 51182 60 0 0 33413 0 0 0...

At present my netatalk configuration files (atalkd.conf and papd.conf) contain nothing but commented-out lines. When I execute the commands atalkd and nbplkup on my Linux box, this is what I get: dave@quad:/$ atalkd eth0: multicast may not work correctly. eth0: disabled. atalkd: zero...

I hope this thread doesn't turn into "how to setup netatalk", but I must admit after perusing the "manual" for the program and playing around a bit without success I am unsure what to do. On my Linux box (ubuntu 8.10 64-bit) I have netatalk installed. lsmod shows the "appletalk" module loaded...

I unfortunately do not possess any cables that connect to the SCSI port on the Duo Dock. I have some SCSI CD-ROM drives, hard disks, and even a few tape drives, but all SCSI cables I have are for the "Centronics"-style or IBM-style SCSI connectors. I am encouraged to read that the Macintosh...

I'm certainly willing to attempt compilation of code, but if the compilation is to be on the PowerBook 230 running System 7.1, I may need some help figuring out how to do it. Forgive my ignorance, porter, but what code have you written? My recent compilation experience is primarily with...

I'm not sure why the AsanteTalk bridge would need to talk to a 10 mbps hub instead of to the 10/100 mbps switch I currently have it connected to, but I'll give the idea a test. I have lots of old 10 mbps-only equipment around here.

My PowerBook 230 is running "System 7.1". I have no idea how or where to find "System 7.5". I don't have any system floppy disks or anything like that for the PowerBook. What is "iCab"? Even browsing through my LAN's connection to the internet from the PowerBook 230 without pictures would be...

Hi! I'm new to this forum, and new to old Macintosh machines, but not new to networking and computers. I was recently given the following equipment, and now I have a challenge for you: Apple PowerBook 230 Duo Dock AsanteTalk Ethernet to LocalTalk Bridge All of the equipment works, as far...
