I was able to get a web server running on a Mini vMac virtual Macintosh 128K...  Virtual Macintosh 128K 404 Error server!

I have run it on lower finder/ system versions too. The calls are all for the original ROMs, nothing system specific. RAM is the only limitation right now.

I am quite sure 64K ROMs cannot run System 6, or MacTCP.  You had it easy with a '512Ke'.

I am planning on getting a distribution ready this weekend. The server is currently running on a REAL original Macintosh0, upgraded to 512K RAM.  I have been doing some testing on Mini vMac with some modifications I adapted to support the mac serial ports (see my web site). I have been using...

I was able to get my Macintosh 512K web server running and on the internet for current RetroChallenge.  It is running System 2.0/Finder 1.1g  with 64K ROMs.  Here is a link to my web page with a link to the server.: http://apple-crapple.blogspot.com/2015/01/mac-512k-on-internet.html It is...

I checked this weekend and the keyboard I used appears to be a late apple II+ keyboard. It has brown, textured keys. The key switches appear to be identical, except that the II+ uses little plastic risers to get the key up to the right level - the same level as a 128k keyboard. The little...

The Apple II+ keyboards had shiny green keys that are shorter than a mac, but the switch might be the same. The early Apple IIe keyboards (brown or beige) use the same key caps as a Mac, just different colors and different color print. I need to double check, but that leads me to believe I...

Come to think of it, it may have been an apple II+ that I used. I know the key and switch was a drop-in replacement.

By extra hardware, I meant something you would have to go out and buy. Those SE/30 nic cards are pretty expensive. Also, many older cheap ISDN or ADSL routers have a serial port and built in PPP server. That would be "extra hardware", but it is a cheap option.

I am quite certain that I repaired a mac 128k keyboard with a switch from an old broken apple IIe. you should be able to find those pretty cheap.

an SE/30 is pretty easy to get on the internet without extra hardware or Ethernet. Install MacTCP and MacPPP on the SE/30 make a cross-over serial cable and connect it to a computer that you want to use as a ppp server. configure the server to run a login screen with getty configure the...

Don't worry about the DNS for now. Typically, the ppp server on Mac OS X will forward the DNS requests for you. I have used a similar setup before and have never had to specify a dns server in either the MacTCP control panel or in the /etc/ppp/options file on Mac OS X. Here is a post that...

Do you have a terminal program of some sort (MacTerminal, Microphone, ZTerm, anything that uses the Apple communications tool box) for the PB? You need to get MacPPP on your PB if you want TCP/IP access, or a terminal program if you just want to transfer files without using disks.

Yes, because the Bluetooth adapter has it's own built-in bluetooth stack, It should work. consider setting up ttys with pppd, or calling if after you login with getty instead of having to run it manually from the OS X machine.

Thanks for the tip. Works perfect!

Here are a few final things: You can do file transfers back and forth from MacTerminal (I still use v 1.1) to Mac OS X with a few command line utilities (macutils) available on Mac OS X. It is nice because you can initiate the transfers in both directions from the old mac, just like you used...

it looks like it only has F keys and a numeric keypad. weird.

Here is my Mac 128k connected to retro-net.org using MacTerminal. It runs lynx to browse the web and I can get email using pine. Very nice free service from them. The lack of arrow keys on my keyboard appears to be an issue though.

Find the tty device you want to use in /dev. Here are the devices I can use: $ls /dev/tty\.* tty.modem tty.usbserial Since I want to avoid using a modem, I will use my cheap prolific serial adapter. edit /etc/ttys to include the usb serial device: tty.usbserial "/usr/libexec/getty...
