@benfranske What version of Netatalk are you running? In the case of Netatalk 2.2, have you tried different ea (extended attributes) settings? What I would imagine is that SMB gets confused by the weird binary files created in the .AppleDouble dirs by the default AppleDouble v2 implementation...

@Zane Kaminski Did you get around to benchmarking whether this mod had a measurable negative performance impact or not? As per the IIsi RAM-Muncher readme, applications loaded into the on-board RAM will run slower, since the CPU shares that memory with the video circuitry. Hence, logically if...

Update: Let me add one caveat and pitfall to using 2x CR2032 in a Mac II. After about 2 months had passed since I first installed the above battery mod, my Mac II wouldn't start today. I measured the voltage that the battery holder output, and got 5.09V. This was not enough to kickstart the PSU...

I can happily report that the 30 pin SIMM Socket Metal Latches product from Phoenix Enterprises work great in a Mac II, with some minor modifications. The spacing and layout of all the pins line up perfectly, however, the two plastic prongs on each end are of the wrong shape for the holes in the...

I'm curious if you're aware of any outstanding appletalk Linux kernel module rot at the moment? As I understand it, the whole debacle stared with a string of patches originating from a Huawei engineer, that were accepted into the Linux kernel in early 2019 despite effectively breaking the...

The whole point with using Netatalk 2.2 is for the DDP support, plus the printer server, time server, and Apple II netboot server that also run on DDP. If you're content with DSI (TCP/IP) the mainline Netatalk 3.1 is a better choice, IMHO. And if you want to run it on M1 or Intel Macs, I've...

This approach didn't quite work with this particular type of slot. Each of the contacts are resting in a recess in the plastic, and if you pinch them they pop out of their recess and end up obstructing the slot. There's no leeway to bend them in either direction. They're either inside the...

Thanks. I ordered a couple of the one product that seemed the most likely to fit. Will report back here when I get to try it!

My fairly recently acquired Macintosh II had 8 functional 30-pin RAM sockets of the SIMM kind when I first got it, and it ran happily with 1 x 8 MB sticks for a few months. However, the other day it started suddenly death chiming on startup, and removing the B Bank sticks is the only way to...

It's always a fine line to walk: providing enough context to enable people to get started, while not duplicating upstream documentation. In fairness, the README on github did already have a link to the documenation at the very bottom. Anyhow, I added an Installation section to my README that...

@benfranske Have you read through the Netatalk 2.2 documentation that covers installation already? It should cover the basics. I wrote some supplemental steps in the RaSCSI wiki for setting up Netatalk to run on a Raspberry Pi, which can serve as general-purpose instructions as well. The latter...

Agreed, TCP/IP might to too much to ask of a 68000 Mac. To go back to the original topic, I would second the suggestion of using a RaSCSI. Once Raspberry Pi prices have come down to reasonable levels, it is the most versatile and cost effective way to get a compact Mac online, IMHO. My own SE is...

Another option for your consideration is to run the Timelord time server that is included with Netatalk on a Linux/*BSD system, and then use the Tardis extension on your Mac to sync the system time on bootup. This bypasses entirely the need to bother with the control panel's date picker. As an...

AFP works over TCP/IP as well, with the right versions of the network stack and AppleShare client. I've gotten it to work with 7.1 and later. However, your SE's 68000 CPU may be a limiting factor here, since Open Transport, for one, requires a later instruction set (030 I think).

@Byte Knight That is a great question! My executive summary would be something like: Macproxy is more compatible with the modern web and better at retaining and displaying valuable content, but the tradeoff is that you will often see a bunch of ugly looking headers and footers (e.g. exploded...

@fehervaria Yes, my primary environment is Raspbian Bullseye, so I can vouch for this particular version of the OS. So far, every version of Raspbian I have tested comes with the appletalk kernel module out of the box. If your distro doesn't come with the appletalk module, you can easily...

TL;DR; There is a new fork called Netatalk 2.x that integrates all the community patches since the 2.2.6 release, which works out of the box on modern distros. Grab the latest stable release from GitHub. While researching Netatalk integration with RaSCSI it struck me just how painful it was to...

Bumping this thread to mention that I cut another three releases in December that improves compatibility with the modern web, and introduces a few advanced command line options to further customize the proxy. The most important change is that it no longer mangles the layout of www.frogfind.com...

How heavy was the cap leakage (and battery leakage) on the logic board? I would start looking for broken traces or heavily corroded IC legs. The lack of a startup chime could mean that the audio circuitry itself is damaged, which is quite common effect of cap juice corrosion. Or it could mean...

It finally arrived from Korea! If you have small hands like me, I can warmly recommend the above. The analog stick and action buttons are all very responsive, and have a great tactile feel to them. While it's not evident from photos, it has a thick felt-like bottom for a relatively comfortable...
