Thanks!

Reading more into this topic - no wonder its "unintuitive" since even Apple used, changed and renamed these protocols. Currently I'm heading down several rabbit holes at once and will have more questions in the future ;-)

Apparently I don't know enough about Classic Mac networking. I was under the impression that AppleTalk was using TCP/IP whereas LocalTalk used something different? So what's correct then - LocalTalk is only used with the initial serial connectors and AppleTalk on Ethernet connections?

Oh, I forgot. As far as I have understood, Netatalk 4 does support LocalTalk again after it was dropped from v3.

Thanks this is helpful and more to the point than anything I found before. It isa also pretty condensed. I will have to think through everything and likely come back with more questions ;-)

Thanks for the answer - yes I also believe that netatalk is only using IP and not AppleTalk - might be some config wrong and/or missing. I also know that minivmac cannot connect to IP withouth some form of a bridge. Although I am not sure if macipgateway is the correct one to use in this case...

It seems that noone here as successfully done this setup and I am not too surprised. I'll ask somewhat differently then: Can anyone explain how LToUDP networking is supposed to work and how all the software packages around AppleTalk and TCP/IP work together or what they do. What's covered by...

Thank you this was very helpful! Recompiling with -speed z fixed the problem and all versions i tested work now. Would be interesting to know why the Mac Plus did boot at 8x speed before, but anyway - it works!

Hi! I am running minivmac on a Raspberry Pi (Zero2 W) and want to bring it online (Internet, Filesharing). I have spent two evening reading everything I came across - The long netatalk and tashtalk/router threads, multiple websites, Github Pages, Wikis and so on. But I still cannot get my head...

Hi! I built a tinyMac for this year's MARCHintosh. So far so good, I compiled minivmac and it works with a System 7.1 install that I have been using on many real or emulated machines for over 10 years. Usually I emulate a Mac Classic (because I have a real one too) or Mac II if I want color...

Your best bet is always a Compact Flash to IDE adapter because CF Cards speak IDE natively. But if you want something bigger, more modern or available: I have something like this in a Powermac G4 and a Mac Mini G4 that boots MacOS 9: Amazon Link (German but you get the idea) For slower machines...

I also don't understand the use of Discord. There is a Forum already and Chats are completely useless regarding documentation. Don't take this personally, it is a more general rant and you can of course do and use with what you are comfortable with. In my case I tend to stay clear of any...

10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 This simple oneliner in Commodore BASIC has become quite famous for its nice complex output: For this year's #MARCHintosh I asked myself, why should only the 8-bitters have all the fun? Sure, the Mac promised to not ever bother users with all that...

It "should" work as you describe but I always go through an emulator where I mount the image from the SDcard. It's much easier to preserve the File Forks that way. Basilisk2 SheepShaver, Minivmac.. pick one

This is great to hear, since I am a Debian person anyway. For 68k Macs (your other post), I'm not so much interested in running Linux anymore, but on a Quad G5 this is another story. I also have a Sun Ultra 45 (their last SPARC Workstation) where Debian is no longer really feasible. OpenBSD is...

You would not believe, I'm currently working on the exact same enclosure - cleaning, a bit of retrobriting and so on. It still works, so I did not plan to do a recap, having enough other things to do. So thank you for the warning! I will definitely swap at least this cap before I turn it on...

Sucess - luckily Apple sometimes did use standard parts in the past. I got a quiet fan and spray-painted it white very carefully so that the paint would not make it imbalanced. The iMac is now working again and even quieter as before. Images to show the new fan before and after painting and...

It must be that the white fans lead to more rigorous cleaning because the dirt is more visible. I had the fan out already when I broke it, so replacement should be straightforward. Still I was quite disappointed. There I had the perfectly functioning nice newly acquired Mac, and then this...

Well after some sleep and getting over the initial shock, I ordered a 92 mm quiet 12v case Fan and will try to carefully spray-paint it white. I'll report about success or failures... Well, I suppose your're not in Europe so that ist not really a viable option, but thanks for the suggestion anyway!

Today I scored this 800 Mhz first generation iMac G4. It's in a nice shape but very dirty inside. So I went on to clean it thoroughly - and broke one of the fan blades. :( This has never happened to me before, but in my defence - I had to clean it hard. Well any hints on how to get a fan...
