I'd solder on a PCB directly on top of the footprint of the removed HDI-45, just push the pins directly into the holes on the board and use any lugs to stabilize it. It'll likely be a double sided board depending on the pin routing. There may be enough room to direct mount a right angle VGA...

Back in the late 90's, people didn't know where the market for ATX backplates was going. Most of the early ATX cases I had worked with included a set of "standard" back plates. Most of these were port configurations (ex: "Micronics", "Intel", etc.) that were already released onto the market...

The issue with System 3.3/Finder 5.4 was likely due to the AFPGetSrvrInfo packet being too large. That has been fixed with Netatalk 4.0.3. Something isn't working right here because PCMacLan shouldn't have any trouble connecting as an AFP3.1 compatible client.

Try directly connecting to the server via TCP/IP under "Miramar AppleTalk Network->AppleShare IP Network->Add a new IP Server". That completely bypasses AppleTalk from the handshake. Note that currently trying to connect via AppleTalk will limit the connection to AFP2.2. Either way, I'm not...

Sharing a sub-directory of another folder that is already being shared is nesting. share1=/home/userfolder share2=/home/userfolder/anotherfolder I have PCMacLan 9.1.1 running in a XP VM. It seems to work fine over both AppleTalk and TCP/IP and Netatalk 4.0.4 with user home directory shares...

Don't nest shares in afp.conf. This will cause problems down the road, particularly with permissions. I can setup PCMacLan 9.0 to test for problems if needed. FTP is not NAT friendly and will fail in many cases behind one. Make sure "PASSIVE" mode is enabled. Some clients may detect a problem...

A quick search indicates that Linux Mint might not use nftables for firewall usage. If so, this stuff isn't going to work without additional setup. Try typing nft flush ruleset from the command prompt and see if an error is generated.

chmod +x the script file and run it directly. Also could be weird newline characters on the file screwing things up. Cutting and pasting the text into a nano session usually avoids this.

The missing nft and single quotes will do that.

If macipgw is already running, that script might not run as it should. Type sudo systemctl stop macipgw before trying to run the script. The script itself requires root privileges, so add an sudo in front of it. It may also not be picking up your default network interface. Replace $atalkd_if...

One significant block of scripting in A2SERVER's setup is recompiling the AppleTalk kernel module if IPDDP is found. Debian has always compiled IPDDP support in, while in my experience, Ubuntu has not. Don't know if that holds for forked distros. The newer kernels aren't bug free either. I'm...

If you have a NAS device from a major vendor (Synology, etc.), chances are you've used Netatalk without even realizing it.

One thing I haven't extensively tested is the conversion of Apple Double data from the old .AppleDouble folder format to native extended attributes and "dot" files (ex: ._MyFile). So..... back up your shares before trying this! The code should work fine as it wasn't really touched, but always...

This came up during my work on Netatalk. Officially, Netatalk 2.x allows one to display and create NBP entities and zone names in any supported character encoding (ex: MacHebrew, MacGreek, MacJapanese, etc.) The "official" documentation, Inside AppleTalk, is pretty quiet on this. It only...

The battery looks suspiciously like a Sony HandyCam battery, specifically the InfoLithium Type L (NP-F550) that were current at the time the device was made. Checking an actual Type L battery, the tabs are all sorts of different. You could likely get it to fit with some grinding of tabs. Sony...

Over in the netatalk git, we uncovered a tool that may be useful to GlobalTalk clients. Its an enhanced Chooser call "Choosier" written by folks at UMich. It was developed to work with large networks with many zones. http://web.archive.org/web/19961220150401/http://www.umich.edu/~rsug/choosier/...

Found the post from someone who also had this issue with UniFi switches. They had to disable "IGMP Snooping" in order for AppleTalk traffic to pass the switch properly. Multicast DNS should be enabled regardless, otherwise Bonjour/DNS-SD won't work properly with other devices on your network...

The UniFi switch is likely not relying multicast Ethernet traffic, which is required for AppleTalk to work. Sounds like the RTMP broadcast packets aren't reaching your Mac. Others have had this problem with UniFi equipment and re-enabling multicast fixes it.

A circa 1995 machine with a PCI bus should have a PnP BIOS. Aside from really early 1993 PCI boards that configured IRQs with jumpers, it should be PnP.

Weird that the 1540CF has problems with the latest ASPI driver. The 1540B is usually the troublesome one due to some rarely implemented hardware checks: https://www.os2museum.com/wp/learn-something-old-every-day-part-ix-aha-154xb-and-aspi4dos-sys/ Note that the aspi4dos.sys driver does have a...
