    PM6500 and Upgrading to 9.2.2

    It sounds like AppleShare on the PM6500 is set up to try to mount shared volumes from the LC475 and SE/30 at startup. If those machines aren't up yet then it can't get to the point of needing to use their saved passwords. I would try moving aside (i.e. renaming) the "AppleShare Prep" file in...

    Dove MacSnap video issue

    Yes, you need the MacPlus/512Ke ROM, since SCSI support was not present in the original ROM for the Mac 128K/512K models. As for RAM requirements, it's unlikely that anything about the new ROM requires more than 512K (since it was present in the 512Ke, after all.)

    QuickTopix

    Was spelunking through some old disk images just now and found a copy lying about. It doesn't get past the splash screen before complaining about an initialization error, probably because it's running in an emulator and the drive isn't attached. Maybe it will work for you with real hardware.

    Classic Mac Networking v4.0

    The whole document is interesting and has an incredible level of detail! I did notice that "Hierachial File System (HFS)" is misspelled.

    Classic Mac Networking v4.0

    Speaking of the Working with Disk Images section, it might be worth mentioning that both Disk Copy 6.3.3 and ShrinkWrap can read and mount DART images. (You won't find too many DART images in the wild, apart from a handful of Apple-produced CDs in the early 1990s, but sometimes they are the only...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    "Install required software dependencies" is going to be different for each platform, based on its package manager. I updated to Netatalk 4.2.1dev today and it went smoothly. All seems stable with 48 zones currently on the network.

    TashRouter: An AppleTalk Router

    Coming back to this thread late, but I can confirm that I also saw the same TashRouter crash that @fergycool reported. At the time, I saw the self.hop_count check was failing and figured it could safely be ignored rather than bringing down the router, so I just commented it out and everything...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    Over 13 hours uptime so far with the latest fix. It seems to be working OK. Yes, there are currently 64 zones visible on the network. :) 2 of those are my local zones; the rest are coming from Apple Internet Router.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    FYI: after reverting the problematic commit, my build was still going strong after 24 hours. I made a local test branch from latest `main` (with all your new Sunday commits), merged `rdmark-atalkd-rtmp-loop` into it, and rebuilt. Looks good so far. Will see if it's still up and running tomorrow!

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    Yes. I reverted just that commit, and atalkd has been up for ~12 hours now without a problem. Will keep an eye on it.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    With 4.2.0dev, I have seen at least 2 atalkd crashes in the past 24 hours. Not sure if it's specific to the new version or just due to more zones getting added to GlobalTalk, but according to the core dump, it's crashing here: arm64# gdb atalkd /atalkd.core ... Program terminated with signal...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    DDP works in NetBSD if the kernel was configured to include it. The question would be: is that support present in the kernel that Apple configured in the Airport Extreme? You can try running atalkd and if it errors out with "address family not supported" or similar message, then you would need...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    Thanks, that seems to have fixed the problem! I did a meson setup --reconfigure build with the new options, including "-Dwith-quota=false", and I'm now up and running with 4.2.0dev.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    If I check out the netatalk-4-1-0 tag, do meson compile -C build and meson install -C build, then start up the atalkd and netatalk services, everything works fine and clients can mount the server volumes with no problem. (This is on NetBSD.) If I check out the netatalk-4-1-1 tag, or anything...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    Unfortunately I have been unable to get the main branch (4.2.0dev) to work successfully for me yet. My System 7 clients lock up at the point where the volume mount is attempted (see screenshot). At first I thought it might be something to do with the AppleDouble/ea changes you made on this...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    It looks like you got rid of name and replaced it with volume name, which seems like a good choice to eliminate ambiguity. I assume that if I don't specify server name but do specify hostname then previous behavior is unchanged, but if both are specified then server name should override...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    The hostname option, which is confusingly described in the docs as advertising the resolved IP address from the specified hostname, seems to be the only way to specify the server's name for AppleTalk (i.e. the name that shows up in the Chooser.) There is already an afp listen option for...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    That's strange. The documentation for afp.conf says that section names are case sensitive. For the above entry, the section name [Applications] means you should be seeing Applications as the volume name (i.e. the section name minus the enclosing brackets). The path value doesn't have to contain...

    MPEG2 playback on Mac OS 9?

    Just to make sure, I set up a new Mac OS 9.2.2 install in a VM, installed QuickTime 6.0.3 on top of that (since Mac OS 9.2.2 comes with QuickTime 5), then opened the .qup update file mentioned above. It installed the QuickTime MPEG2 file into the QuickTime Extensions directory.

    MPEG2 playback on Mac OS 9?

    Files with the .component extension are for OS X and go into /Library/QuickTime/. For OS 9, you are looking for a file named "QuickTime MPEG2" that goes into :System Folder:Extensions:QuickTime Extensions:. I think you probably need to install the third download here.
