    Need an "I don't know jack" guide to Pi 3 and Netatalk/CUPS

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

    Need an "I don't know jack" guide to Pi 3 and Netatalk/CUPS

    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.

    Need an "I don't know jack" guide to Pi 3 and Netatalk/CUPS

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

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

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    An annoying Finder bug in MacOS 8.5+.

    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...

    ATA bus speed, QS G4?

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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 "._"...

    TashTalk: Single-Chip LocalTalk Interface

    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 IIGS Getting CD-ROM to play music CDs

    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.

    Kennect Drive

    Guess AE took a page from Commodore (or was it the other way around?) with slowing down the rotation speed to meet the data rate requirements with an older controller. The same method was used with the FDHD drive in the Amiga 4000 to work with the Paula controller. Looks like the original AEHD...

    Stuffit archive missing files

    The AppleShare 3 printer and file servers appear in folders after extraction. The archive is working fine and I have installed on System 7.1 without issue.

    Kennect Drive

    Before I even got this far, I knew that Apple chip would be the same as the PC Transporter disk interface. Applied Engineering also had the "AE HD" drive that allowed Apple IIgs machines (with driver) to read and write GCR 1.6MB floppies. AE had an "AE HD+" drive for the Macintosh that allowed...

    TashTalk: Single-Chip LocalTalk Interface

    Its common to handle tasks on clock ticks with emulators. Its not surprising that most emulators the int main() is just one big loop :). Somehow the GSport SCC emulation was able to handle this without a problem along with bridging to EtherTalk (with Ethernet speeds).
