I'm happy to announce an initial release of a project I've been working on for sometime.
Introducing OmniTalk. OmniTalk is a cross-platform all-in-one AppleTalk Router (EtherTalk, LToUDP and TashTalk), MacIP Gateway and AFP 2.0 Server.
v0.1 is available on the github releases. https://github.com/ObsoleteMadness/OmniTalk/releases/tag/v0.1.0.
It runs entirely in "usermode" and uses PCAP for sourcing/pushing out packets over Ethernet/Wifi.
The readme on the project documents the different configuration options.
If you're running under Windows you will need npcap installed to use LocalTalk.
I've largely been running and testing this under windows.
I've successfully tested with System 6 on vMac and a Mac Classic via TashTalk, System 7.1 and System 7.5 via Snow, vMac (LToUDP) and Cockatrice III (EtherTalk), MacOS 9.2.2 on a real iMac via Ethernet/EtherTalk.
* Windows - System 6 System 7.1, System 7.5. vMac, snow, Cockatrice III,
Untested:
* Linux and MacOS ports
I'll be upfront and say this project was "vibe-coded" and was used to evaluate different models and agents abilities.
If anyone tests this please let me know your thoughts and feedback!
Edit - add some screenshots
The default welcome volume mounted on a Mac Classic via USB attached TashTalk.
