Clients on the iPrint should be sending NBP Broadcast Request directly to the router on the network. NBP Lookups should only be coming from a router. Does the iPrint support networks with zones (and thus routers)? It goes without saying that you need to turn the iPrint on after you turn on...

From Inside AppleTalk: Node ID $FF indicates a broadcast to all nodes with a network number equal to that indicated by the specified network number. As long as this network number is nonzero, the packet is refered to as a network-specific broadcast. Although it will be received by all AppleTalk...

09:00:07:FF:FF:FF is the default broadcast address for EtherTalk Phase 2 and it could change depending on zone. Only Phase 1 used FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF. Network "0" should only appear on broadcast packets (ie: 0.255), otherwise its not valid. The ImageWriter LocalTalk card has a few NBP bugs too...

It should be working at the moment..... I need to pull out my RPi and check with 4.5.

Well, at least we know that there was SOME reasoning behind that Low End Mac article on the x200/x300 machines being brain dead.

Netatalk (and I presume Apple's AFP server) all mangle the longer AFP 3.x Unicode names down to 31 characters for AFP 2.x clients using some digits of the CNID value at the end to keep them unique and somewhat linked to the parent file.

I'll get it over later today. I'm assuming this is detected as an off-the-shelf USB-to-serial bridge. The user is likely to have to select a device, but thats for me to figure out. Kinda wish it was easier, but its annoying to get custom USB VID/PID identifiers. Not to mention it costs money.

Ah, the joys of dealing with pre-Unicode systems and protocols. I eventually have to get one of these USB adapters. Now that Netatalk 4.5 is out, I'd like to add support to A2SERVER and finally get it out the door.

AppleShare 1.1 should work with System 4/Finder 5.5. The disk is bootable and contains that system version. I use that version in mini vMac (its 800k so I think it targets the Plus/512ke) to test AFP 1.1 protocol compatibility with Netatalk.

Ugh, the Audi Music Interface... because for some reason we just couldn't put a USB port in the car. I think some B7 head units supported AMI, but the feature was natively available in B8 MLB cars starting in 2009 for the A4 (2008 for the new A5). The point of having the cable (besides making...

Whats annoying is that I can't reliability reproduce the no icon bus error problem with Apple's clients. I know ASC 3.7.4 is a buggy mess (refuses to connect to a server with a FPGetSrvrInfo reply over 512 bytes), but this is the first I've read that ASC 3.8.3 crashes with no icon data. The AFP...

The G3 will stay connected via TCP/IP on Ethernet as that is controlled separately. If you want to bridge LocalTalk to Ethernet, install Apple's LocalTalk Bridge 2.1 control panel.

add the line legacy icon = sdcard under the Global section. One of the ASC revisions has a bug in it that causes a crash if no icon data is received. Remove the afp interfaces and legacy volume size option too. I don't think you can use the "path" option under the special Homes share. I would...

If you have a proper MiniDIN 8 Macintosh serial cable, connect the two machines via the printer port. On both machines, enable AppleTalk on the Printer Port. This can be found in the "AppleTalk" control panel on the G3. The IIci will have either the AppleTalk control panel (Open Transport) or...

Woz didn't have involvement in the SWIM chip as it came after he left the company. The original SWIM was two separate floppy controllers in one package. One being the IWM and the other being a clone of the NEC 765 MFM PC style controller. The later revisions further integrated and simplified the...

QuickDraw GX had vastly improved color ImageWriter II and LQ drivers. Its hard to call it over engineered when NeXT had Display PostScript!

8.4GB is the CHS sector addressing limit (16383/16/63). Its possible the firmware on the card can't handle drives that only support LBA addressing. While the spec says those drives could be accessed using CHS (albeit capped at 8.4GB), the reality is most drives long moved on. The PC BIOS of the...

I've never had any issue with LToUDP, just buggy routers with broken multicast. It is a nice solution for getting machines that only supported LocalTalk out of the box onto a network as you didn't have to emulate Ethernet hardware or convert LLAP packets to ELAP packets (like GSport does)...

Here it is in Stuff-It! 5 format (File type: SIT5 Creator: SIT!) . The ZIP was a standard OS X format AppleDouble containing a classic Mac OS application.
