The dbd utility can convert the old AppleDouble v2 format to the new extended attributes format in one shot. The way forward to print to an ancient printer is to write a printer application, or just manually push the jobs using the command line pap utility.... which is what the backend script...

It shouldn't take 5-10 minutes to boot MS-DOS. Give UNISOUND a shot in configuring the PnP soundcard.

CUPS 3.0 has been delayed quite a bit. The first distro to switch will likely be Ubuntu. Thankfully Debian tends to be very conservative and likely won't switch any time soon. This won't mean the end of printing from your classic Mac though as papd will eventually be updated to support CUPS 3.0...

Apple shipped a DVD player with a software decoder in MacOS 9, so QuickTime should have MPEG2 support via a plug-in.

I can confirm it works, but you have to manually add the printer's URL under "Add Printer" in the CUPS web interface. The "Find New Printers" option no longer works for 3rd party back ends. To get the URL, you have to manually run the pap back end script, which will list URLs of all found...

The pap backend file is only if you want to print to a pap only LaserWriter from Linux.

OK, problem solved, go ahead and install. Stupid Debian and its multiple ways of configuring a network interface.....

I'm running into regressions with Netatalk 4.1.0 with systemd..... UGH. You will have to manually start the services after a reboot with "netatalk-restart" until its fixed.

If you want to give a development version of A2SERVER a spin, copy the following into a terminal: export A2SERVER_SCRIPT_URL=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/NJRoadfan/a2server/cicpoffs-testing/ export A2SERVER_BINARY_URL=https://appleii.ivanx.com/a2server/files wget -O setup...

The zero K on disk is normal. The AppleShare clients in question support AFP2.2, which has extended disk size and free space commands to report over 2GB/4GB of disk space free or used. Older versions of Finder only allocated a 32-bit value for these values (later unsigned), and would overflow on...

The legacy volume size option is only needed in limited situations. Generally with pre-System 7.5 Finder running later (and unsupported) versions of AppleShare Client.

...or, given that the machine has an AppleTalk connection, just use Netatalk's AFP server to transfer the files.

Apple IP Gateway uses proxy ARP with a pool of configured IP addresses in the Ethernet network's subnet, thus no IP masquerading/NAT is involved. IPNetRouter is a full blown router with NAT that supports port forwarding and likely has it setup for FTP by default. The Linux nftables firewall can...

I managed to get brew to compile almost all the prereqs on a 4GB mid-2012 MacBook Air running Catalina. It errored out on MySQL and I think one of the things required for Spotlight. It was slow, but didn't take 24 hours. What makes it take so long is the brew scripts insist on running all the...

During my testing of Netatalk and various versions of MacOS, I came across a rather interesting bug. If the File Type for a given file is all null values (0x00), the Finder will refuse to update any of the Finder Information about the file. This includes information like the label color, icon...

My recommendation, since this is a desktop, try testing a modern SATA SSD with a SATA-to-PATA adapter. Its entirely possible the cheapo SD adapter doesn't properly support UDMA modes. As for CF adapter cards, many also have problems going into UDMA mode due wiring issues on the adapters. The...

Right now I'm openly sharing files off my APFS formatted Catalina machine with MacOS 8 and 9 clients, which is the primary use case for this integration. Unlike Apple's server, Netatalk is fully AFP2.x compliant and supports legacy UAMs, not just DHX2. No more hacking in some older version of...

If you happen to run Netatalk on a macOS host, some significant enhancements are on the way. This should nearly replicate the functionality of Apple's now deprecated AFP server in macOS. The big one is that resource forks are now natively stored in the file system as opposed to using "._"...

GPIO pins 16 and 17 likely need to be remapped to RTS/CTS. Adding gpio=16-17=a3 to your RPi config.txt will address that.

Apple's drivers only support the CD-SC drives. Make sure the Media Control toolset (Tool038) and drivers are installed, particularly the AppleCDSC driver. The MediaCtrl.CDSC script in the GS/OS installer can do this for you.
