In other news, all the UAMs in Netatalk now use libgcrypt, simplifying configuration (one library does it all), and satisfying the internet lawyers being 100% GPL compatible*. It only took like 15-20 years for it to happen. *Fun fact: Netatalk bundled with Debian was always compiled with the...

I wasn't able to get Jason's example working on my network. Even when I got the kernel forwarding enabled, packets wouldn't correctly route to the subnet from my main network. I suspect that my home router had a faulty RIP implementation. What does work is what @mactjaap did for the macipgw VM...

If the Ethernet connected Macs aren't seeing a reply to their GetNetInfo packets, you are running into the infamous Linux AppleTalk broadcast kernel bug present in any kernel before 6.9. Move the eth0 line to the last line in your atalkd.conf from my example if it isn't there already. Like this...

Only thing I see in the source that comes to mind is the ProDOS Info Block that contains the File Type/Aux Type information.

The "short name" is the one explained starting on page 13-13 of Inside AppleTalk. It is requested using bit 7 in the file or directory bitmap with a GetFileDirParams call. Apple only specified its usage for MS-DOS clients. Pretty sure ProDOS clients do not use it as the Workstation Card and...

Going to have to figure out a bridged networking solution for AppleTalk packets. In other news, Netatalk does not work with the Apple (and later Farallon) MS-DOS clients. A minor bug in the client causes it to not detect RandNum UAM support on the server, but even if you get logged in, you...

Its the world's most generic PCI Ethernet card, the DEC Tulip. Supported by virtually all OSes and emulated by all fine virtual machines everywhere.

@twelvetone12 There IS a command line AFP client that supports AppleTalk: https://github.com/demonfoo/afp-perl Written in Perl of all things.

Matrox did put higher quality DACs on their cards. My G400 looked nice and sharp on a CRT running 1280x1024 at 70Hz, vs a much newer ATI Radeon card. The ATI was noticeably blurry and smeary. Its a moot point if you are using a DVI connection though, which I eventually did with the Matrox since...

Standard TI OHCI Firewire card. Should just use stock Apple drivers.

Orphaned as in, the data is still in the .AppleDouble folder, but won't be accessed anymore. Note, the extended attributes I am referring to are the ones created by macOS, such as the infamous "com.apple.quarantine" and other metadata. Off hand, I don't know of any applications that store...

To maintain 100% netatalk 2.x behavior with 3.x and newer, you need to setup the share with the following options. appledouble = v2 ea = ad The first option saves resource fork data and classic attributes such as FinderData to a file to the .AppleDouble directory. The second option saves MacOS...

PCMacLAN supports native AppleTalk (it includes the transport layer). Microsoft included a native AppleTalk stack in Windows 2000 and Server 2003, but dropped it from XP, hence the need for 3rd party software.

One thing I haven't extensively tested is the conversion of Apple Double data from the old .AppleDouble folder format to native extended attributes and "dot" files (ex: ._MyFile). So..... back up your shares before trying this! The code should work fine as it wasn't really touched, but always...

That is the factory configuration in my beige G3. If you have the latest ROM, it should work fine. That limitation was mostly an OS X thing anyway.

Apple did release a "hybrid" IWM that could do MFM floppies, but only supported double density disks. As far as I know, the chip only shipped on the Applied Engineering PC Transporter card.

Heh, all this CommSlot II talk just reminds me what a waste of a PCI slot it was on the 4400. I like the idea of integrating a 3rd PCI device directly into the riser. Something like SATA and/or USB doesn't take up too much board space.

Google is completely removing the "less secure" apps and app-specific password options in the near future. Any solution now needs to use OAuth2 based authentication.

You might want to create a new thread for this. Something is blocking the traffic or atalkd is misconfigured. As a side note, you don't actually need the RPi to be an access point. Appletalk communications between two WiFi machines on the same access point works fine, its only when the packets...
