    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    Set legacy icon in afp.conf to set the one you want. IF you want a custom icon with multiple bit depths, you can create a file with them and name it "Icon\r" and place it in the server's route directory.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    The OS will select the correct version based on the set monitor color depth. You can set your own custom icon for an AFP server just like you do with a folder, by pasting in an icon in the server's "Get Info..." window. Also, as the code stands, its impossible to see the color "tcp" icon since...

    Can't connect to TrueNAS Samba share on Mac OS X

    Out of the box, Samba disables SMB1 and older login encryption protocols for security reasons. You need the parameter server min protocol = NT1 in your smb.conf [global].

    Lombard Screen Options

    Lombards use a standard LVDS interface for the display. I used a screen with the same dimensions out of a random Compaq laptop to replace a broken one. I don't recall any issues with the CFL backlight inverter plug either. You may be hard pressed to find a 4:3 IPS display of the same...

    DOS on Mac

    The Overdrive chips have an onboard regulator to step down the 5V supplied by the socket to 3.3V for the DX4 CPU. It isn't the most efficient solution.

    Printing over Wifi from Compact Mac?

    Install Netatalk 4 as it brings back AppleTalk support. 25.04 LTS seems to have just missed including it while 25.10 has it.

    Printing over Wifi from Compact Mac?

    If you intend to print to Netatalk with System 6 or earlier, you MUST install the LaserWriter 7 driver. System 6.0.8 came with this driver out of the box. Some System 6 machines can run the LaserWriter 8 driver too, but the older driver is lighter weight and likely more suitable for a compact.

    Apple Desktop Bus Mice and Power Usage

    The mouse that came with my Apple IIgs is a weird one. Its an A9M0331, but it has the lightweight black ball and cover. S/N 506548 Made in Taiwan. The IIgs dates to 1988, so close to the release of the Portable. Of course I don't know if this is the mouse that originally came with the machine...

    Apple ][ Card Audio Characteristics

    The speaker jack on a real Apple II has +5v on one pin and the other pin is the sound output from TTL logic routed thru a bunch of passives. I don't know what the IIe card's output looks like.

    Apple ][ Card Audio Characteristics

    Other than R899, which appears to be a pull up resistor. That may be a show stopper from using this pin as-is.

    Apple ][ Card Audio Characteristics

    What does the circuit look like between the PDS slot pin and the audio output? Its likely it attenuates the 5V TTL signal down to line level before mixing it into the main audio output.
