My installer seems to be 7.7.2. The Scsilink software that gets installed is 1.2.5 (when the installer is opened)

That is odd. I’m not sure what truly terrible means but you should expect at least 75kbs on your IIci using the original Daynaport firmware I had added. I did notice that something seems to get installed that hampers performance if you do a full install of system software for any Mac (including...

Hi Saybur, was the bug (and the prior note that forcefast wasn't doing anything), introduced with these recent changes? The codebase I'm working off of was from around June 29th and everything seems stable and disk performance with forcefast seems pretty snappy.

I'm actually running a big of an amalgam of the newer disk code and the older networking code as it seemed to work fine for my purposes and I didn't have to revise things that dramatically. Attached is an compiled version of the firmware (for the 64A3U V01 board) if anybody wants to give it a...

I exaggerated a bit on my 145B results. Well over = 102kB/s. So the new firmware is getting: SE/30 AppleShare 75kB/S Fetch: 86kb/S PowerBook 145B AppleShare 102kb/s Fetch about 91kB/s and continuing to climb but really slowly. All times above are writing to the Scuznet disk (FAT32 but with...

Actually - I can wrap my mind around it. I've been working on changing how Scuznet-Daynaport handles packets and am up to ~74kB/s on AppleTalk on my SE/30. I tested my PB 145B though with the same Firmware and got well over 100kB/s so there is a pretty significant difference between 030...

@Chopsticks This is similar to what I noted and reported on github. I did a small 6MB AppleShare transfer which worked OK with reasonable speed (~65kB/s) but a Fetch transfer froze up very fast and was super slow to ramp up. No issue with hard drive performance for me though. @saybur how are...

Thanks - I think that is going to be at least part of my issue as well. I started playing with the firmware a bit to put in other debug points to see where things aren't working, starting with the SD card.  The board is failing to initialize after its 250 tries which prompted me to download...

@Chopsticks  thanks for all this. I’ve started  with the logging process and have put in some of my own debugging  messages to help figure out what’s happening. I’ll report back once I have a better idea what is happening. 

This is super cool!!!!!  For wire shark do you just define how various packets look based on the Includes bytes and then it parses out the packets like this?  I had no idea Wireshark could do this. 

Last question - where did you get your PCBs? I'm assuming it's not the case but there could be an issue with the PCB.  I got mine from  @switch998 was kind enough to print and mail out the extras- it looks like he got his assembled - @switch998 did your board(s) end up working without issue...

Thanks. I’ll give this a try although when I was playing around with it yesterday it seemed like I wasn’t getting any network activity (even over tcp) unless AppleTalk was  turned on over Ethernet.  Now that was on my SE30 that had an internal nic so ,habe there was an issue there.     in an...

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...
