    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    That's a great, concise explanation of Docker and the types of problems it solves (y) I think when a lot of people first start learning about containers and Docker, the instinctive thing is to compare containers to virtual machines since they're conceptually similar in a lot of ways. An...

    BlueSCSI and System Switcher basic question

    Where's the problem? 😁 Seriously though, I would use an emulator to switch back to your old system folder and then look for a 4mb memory expansion like @eric described.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    Looks like it worked. I'll either need to enable remote administration with cupsctl or set up an SSH tunnel to access the web administration page from another computer on the LAN (no browser or windowing environment on the PI), but it appears to be running: pi3bplus:~ $ curl localhost:631...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    I pulled that image, but looks like it's amd64 architecture and I'm on a Pi (arm). No worries though, I'll just wait for it to make its way to Docker Hub. I'm in no hurry to print...just wanted to make sure I wasn't doing something wrong (y)

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    @rdmark I went to try out the printing support with CUPS. The documentation for the Docker image says that the CUPS web interface should be running on port 631, but I don't seem to have anything running on that port. I'm using the host networking driver, so I shouldn't have to forward any...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    I used the Netatalk Docker image and didn't enable the "INSECURE_AUTH" environment variable. So, looking at the Docker image's entrypoint script: it looks like my uam list is: uams_dhx.so uams_dhx2.so uams_randnum.so Where would I check the version of the AppleShare extension? Is this what...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    I went this route and it's working beautifully. All of my Macs back to System 7.1 can now access my Synology NAS using a Pi running Netatalk4 as a bridge (y)

    My first severely battery-bombed Classic Mac... any advice ?

    I've had success with submerging the metal chassis parts in this stuff...a better alternative to sanding: https://www.evapo-rust.com/

    MicroMac MultiSpeed Accelerator won't boot

    If you get it working and want to max the RAM, I can confirm that this 16MB kit works in the MicroMac MultiSpeed: https://www.tindie.com/products/siliconinsider/purpleram-16mb-4mb-x-4-30-pin-dram-simm-kit/

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    It is, but what little info I've been able to find on compiling your own kernel for it makes it sound like more trouble than it's worth. Maybe I'll just run Netatalk on a Pi and have the Pi mount the NAS storage via NFS 🤔

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    I have a Synology DS220+ NAS that was running Netatalk 3 out of the box, but it doesn't play nice with some of my older macs (system 9.2.2 can see it, but system 7 can't). I recently decided to try turning off the built in AFP support (Netatalk 3) and install Netatalk 4 using the docker image...

    My first severely battery-bombed Classic Mac... any advice ?

    Depending on how many of the custom ICs are hosed, this could be a fun project: https://github.com/kr239/Macintosh-Classic-Reloaded?tab=readme-ov-file

    MicroMac MultiSpeed Accelerator won't boot

    Mine with the 50Mhz oscillator is running the CPU and FPU at 25Mhz: Both the CPU and FPU clock pins are connected directly to the output of the flipflop IC next to the oscillator, so the flipflop is halving the frequency. That implies that, unless there were significantly different board...

    MicroMac MultiSpeed Accelerator won't boot

    I'm curious how you arrived at this mapping? I'd always just assumed the CPU was being run at half of the oscillator's frequency, but I've never verified that with a scope. I did find the below photo (not mine) of a MultiSpeed with a 40Mhz oscillator though, and 40/25 and 50/32 are similar...

    MicroMac MultiSpeed Accelerator won't boot

    Is R102 connected to the oscillator's ground pin? I can't see if there's a trace in that gap there. Mine doesn't even have R102...looks like a pulldown resistor on the oscillator's output? Yours looks newer than mine...

    MicroMac MultiSpeed Accelerator won't boot

    Do you have an SE you can try it in without the adapter boards for the Plus, just to verify the problem is on the accelerator itself? My Multispeed (that's my video :) ) had some cap leakage, but surprisingly the two data line continuity breaks I found were bad vias that weren't really near...
