JDW, Pre-Lombard is what you'd be looking at. Lombard followed WallStreet/PDQ, and dropped LocalTalk and Apple Floppy support. The Rumpus software I'm using on the bridge Mac requires a PowerMac with System 7.5 and Open Transport. Mac128, Agreed! My WallStreet sits and is never moved! I...

I looked at several Macs when I was looking for the ultimate bridge machine. I finally choose a WallStreet model for the following reasons: 1. LocalTalk. This was the last Mac with LocalTalk. You can't add this on after the fact! USB to Serial adapters do not do LocalTalk. While you can...

JDW, The software I'm running on the PowerBook G3 is called Rumpus. It requires a PPC Mac to run. As far as I understand, even version 1.0 of this software required a PPC. The company Maxum made Mac FTP server software initially for Apple's AppleShare server software in the late 90's since...

You knew it was inevitable...

Don't know if anybody has seen this yet, but Dave Alverson has updated ZTerm to a Universal Binary. This is the first update to ZTerm is nine years! Very timely since Lion has dropped Rosetta. Good new indeed for the Retro Mac Community.

Releasing PPC only software after the Intel transition was announced in 2005 was unacceptable. For crying out loud, there were Universal Binaries out from some developers prior to the first Intel Macs shipping! Apple had it's act together for developers for the PPC to Intel transition in a way...

There are many programs that have broken along with Mac OS X updates, and the company is no longer around, or the developer has lost interest. You don't need the loss of Rosetta for that to happen. Rosetta, like Classic, has always been a stop-gap measure. Most of the recent Mac growth has...

Shouldn't come as any surprise. Apple has been through so many transitions over the years (2 processor changes and 1 OS change) that it's time to clean house. First Classic apps, then PPC Macs, then PPC apps. Also gone in Lion is 32-bit Macs of any kind. I'm sure Carbon and 32-bit Intel apps...

Now in the Mac App Store. Look for OldHex.

I would agree, as far as AppleTalk and older versions of AFP with TCP/IP, but there is nothing "hobbyist" about FTP. It is not proprietary, and it is still the most widely used file transfer protocol out here. FTP is married to UNIX, and still available in the command line of Lion. All we...

Well said, Mac128. No, I haven't tried MFS lives, but i seriously doubt it. It will need to be re-written. With virtual file systems like MacFuse, we should be seeing something like this come along for HFS and MFS. I was still able to connect to my Mac 512K with Lion. No surprise there...

The full screen apps are optional. They work in either mode. Switching between them is easy with Mission Control. This is nothing like DOS.

I doubt FTP's age had anything to so with it. It's still the most widely used protocol for file transfers. It wasn't added into the OS until Mac OS X, so it's much "newer" to the Mac OS than AppleShare/AFP, and FTP and UNIX are joined at the hip in terms of history.

Hey guys, just installed the developer release of Lion and here are my findings so far: 1. AppleShare. Starting with 10.6, Classic Macs were no longer able to connect to modern Macs using AFP with TCP/IP. However, Mac OS 9 was able to share using AFP with TCP/IP. This is no longer the case...

Even better, I created a Service for the Finder. This allows you to right click on a file or files (no folders) and convert them to BinHex. On my public iDisk, there is a workflow called "BinHex". Open it in Automator and do a "Save as" and name it what you like. The default just says...

I wrote an automator script that prompts what file you'd like to BinHex, and saves it to your desktop. You can access it on my public iDisk. Username=nilesmitchell

Gotcha. I figured you have the answer!

Remember, a Mac 128Ke can use the HD20 natively. My plan was to see how many HD20's a Mac 128Ke can mount. I figure no one else has ever stress tested this particular combination. :lol:

Aha! I wasn't putting the word "encode" after the BinHex command. Funny, the help doesn't mention to do it that way. It's working fine! Thanks Dog Cow! As for using an archiver, well I'm not aware of any that would work on a Mac 128K. Looks like I'd have to send down each file separately...
