For what is worth, I would be very happy to contribute this module to the kernel and possibly some other patches to the AppleTalk stack. I have no idea where to start tho.
You described how the digital systems in model railways work! It is basically a serial bus that gets rectified. Doing this on a serial port would be quite some crazy serial port abuse ;) One could look on the current sourced by the transceivers...
LOL IRL I'm actually sorta of an archeologist, I'm a historian (and for fun a computer scientist, or vice-versa) and I spent lots of time tracking down and transcribing manuscripts from the seventeenth century. Saving the hard drive gave me the same sense of satisfaction! (but on the HD there...
Nada that would have been to easy :D Project for a next day when I get the missing cap.
BUT I resurrected the hard disk! I'm genuinely amazed. I just.. started seeking and worked. I managed to boot from it and copy everything out!
It is indeed in great condition! The screen is perfect. I bought it because I wanted the power brick, floppy and battery for my other system and it was cheaper this way. Well I guess PB100 are like cats and now I have to keep it... ;)
Did you ever try to open one if the hard drives from these machines? The drive that came with this one spins but does not seek, so I wonder if a delicate nudge on the head assembly would help... it is dead anyways...
The AppleTalk stack in Linux absolutely could use some love! I would be in to try to fix at least some of the issues I have found, but I would need help from people more knowledgeable than me in kernel affairs to guide me at least on how to submit eventual patches.
Yup indeed it is set as phase 2! But... no matter what I do, phase 1 does not work. I start atalkd + afpd and packets never make it to the tashtalk driver, they disappear in the AppleTalk stack :( I guess this is something else to debug another day.
On a more positive note, with my fix/hack in...
Is there anybody that knows the AppleTalk kernel stack of netatalk well that can help me out? I think I tracked the problem with sending files from the mac to the pc crashing.
Extremely long story short, the deadlock happens because the function at_addr_eq() in atp_packet.c at some point cannot...
The second attempt at address arbitration seems to come somewhere from the AppleTalk stack. I tried this in raw.c where I'm sure there is only one call to set the address, and I get the same result as you, but in no place I set the address twice! I will have a deeper look, personally I'm not a...
