Reading thru the source, it appears that if a ._ file has extended attributes embedded in it, that Netatalk will indeed copy the FinderInfo from that file and into a metadata EA if one isn't found. It will also re-write the ._ file minus the embedded extended attributes (discards them) with the...

Don't worry about the "bad CNID" error messages, those are normal for files added from outside the share and the dbd tool is fixing them. The "Bad AppleDouble" message is also from dbd. Looks like it only throws that with the ._ files. They likely aren't 100% like what Netatalk expects since it...

You don't run ad cp at all. Copy/extract the files into the share folder like they are standard UNIX files, then run ad set to set the filetype/creator, which forces creation of the Netatalk metadata EA. After that, Netatalk will update the CNID database on access, running dbd is optional. The...

OK, the lack of a Netatalk metadata EA is the problem, do the following with your files after you extract them: ad set -t dimg -c ddsk "Applications HD.img" ad set -t dimg -c ddsk "NetBoot HD.img" ad set -t chrp -c tbxi "Mac OS ROM" Also, the pax utility that comes with Debian has really...

In theory, you should be able to put both the file and the matching ._ file into the share and it'll "just work", minus the filetype/creator (netatalk doesn't copy the FinderInfo from the ._ file to its metadata extended attribute). You don't need to run dbd for that anymore like with netatalk...

Nothing has come up at all in my searches. Now that slide deck has something that might have been mentioned in the original document. Namely the overview of the algorithm for a node to bootstrap determine its network address.

I await a detailed change log of the various Performa System 7.1P releases now that all of them have been unearthed. :cool: A friend had a Performa 600CD growing up, so that purplish desktop background is burned into my brain. It was annoying when I used other machines and couldn't find it...

These were likely direct clones of what was commonly sold as the Logitech ScanMan hand scanner. Macs got a SCSI interface, while PCs had a dedicated ISA interface. Even the Apple II got an interface that sold as the Vitesse Quickie.

The xattr command is macOS specific. On Linux you can use getfattr and setfattr.

@MacinJosh A2SERVER is being updated to incorporate Netatalk 4.x. Its been a long process (particularly because of the EA support and conflicts with ciopfs), but its getting there. With regards to Synology and extended attributes, it appears that the Disk Manager software is storing them in a...

Maybe the BlueSCSI 2 is throwing other devices onto the bus even if they aren't configured? It would be useful if there was a utility that scanned and dumped the devices detected on SCSI bus. Is there a bluescsi.ini file on the card? I would remove it if so. Stuff like the DaynaPort Wifi...

The level 2 protocol was likely FDDI (100Mbit) on these early fiber networks. Later on it was easier to just run Ethernet frames over fiber when 100Base-FX became available. Remember in the late 80s, Ethernet was not a sure bet at becoming the standard for the physical layer. Token Ring and FDDI...

As per the GS/OS source, the following ROM detection is done to determine if an "old" (not High Speed) Apple SCSI card is installed. It then checks code in the I/O select space at $Cn00 thru $Cn57 where n = slot number. It points to bank $00 then checks $C8XX for $02 (this is a check for the...

Make sure both the modified "SCSI.Manager" and "SCSIHD.Driver" files are in the "DRIVERS" folder of the System Folder on your startup disk.

Do not install the driver. You should be able to partition and access a drive from GS/OS without it. I suspect that the ROM on the card differs from what the patched driver has in it. Its one of the pitfalls of modifying a design.

I haven't played with the HFS driver in Linux, but I would have thought they would have figured out resource fork handling. Pretty straight forward to present them to the OS as "._" files I'd think.

FWIW, here is the original end user manual for the card: https://mirrors.apple2.org.za/ftp.apple.asimov.net/documentation/hardware/storage/disks/AppleIISCSICard.pdf Apple's description for setting the SCSI ID is pretty terrible. They call it "priority" and say nothing about it needing the ID to...

I don't know what GGLabs changed on the card that required a change in the driver. Apple's cards are pretty straight forward, they expect drives to be partitioned with a valid Apple Partition Map. I would try the following: -Install the SCSI card in Slot 7. -Set a blank (zeroed out) 40MB image...

The "Wings" A/V card supports an external TV tuner adapter. ATI sold it as an option for their cards (ATI XClaimTV) and connects via the S-Video input with extra pins. I have one of these boxes as it came with my XClaimVR 128 card. The manual clearly states that the Beige G3 is supported...
