Appletalk Peek/Poke tools

[michaelengel]

Hi,

does anyone know where to find the Appletalk Peek/Poke tools which are mentioned, e.g., in http://basalgangster.macgui.com/RetroMacComputing/The_Long_View/Entries/2012/3/1_AppleTalk.html

?

What an absolute fascinating article!

I never heard of Peek and Poke for AppleTalk. Would be great if we could discover it!

Success! I found the tools on the January 92 ADC Developer CD in "Tools & Apps (Moof!)/Networking & Communications/AppleTalk Tools/"

I knew it was a good idea to keep the old CDs around...

Would be neat to make .ISOs of all the developer CDs and put them up on an archive.

YES i would love to have them too!

There is already quite a large number of them online, if you know where to look

Here is the Network and Communications map of the CD. It is made as a zip on a Mac OSX machine. I cannot read it.... At my place it stops after System 7.6.

I there someone who can unzip it and make a disk image ( Disk Copy 6.3) or .sit file from it??? Then I can copy it over to my world!

Networking_and_Communications.zip

Hopefully that should work for you, it's been compressed as .sit using whatever version of stuffit i have on here (14 i think)

 

[mactjaap]

Thanks! I succesfully unstuffed. 

I'm afraid it is only source code....no applications.

ApplePeek and Poke seems to be SimpleText files????

But maybe something went wrong?

 

[max1zzz]

Possibly the res forks have been stripped somewhere along the lines (probably in the zipping)

I will .sit the files directly from the disk image of the dev cd tomorrow morning and post you a new link

 

[mactjaap]

Thanks! You can understand that I'm getting more and more curious!

 

[max1zzz]

Right, give this one a try: http://files.max1zzz.co.uk/apps/Networking%20&%20Communications%202.sit

Thats been compressed straight off the disk image so all the apps should be intact

Hm, strange, when I unpack the zip file again, I get the following (on OS X), so it seems the resource forks are intact. The file was generated using Finder on OS X 10.9, which is aware of resource forks as far as I know (in contrast to the zip/unzip command line tools). However, the FinderInfo is missing compared to the stuffit file posted by mac1zzz.

I could also generate a floppy image if it helps...
