    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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.

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

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

    Netatalk 4.0 - Future-proofing Apple File Sharing

    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...

    Did classic MacOS officially support other character encodings for AppleTalk's Name Binding Protocol?

    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...

    A PowerPC Windows CE device: the Data General WiiN-PAD

    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...

    GlobalTalk - Global AppleTalk network for MARCHintosh 2024 (and beyond!)

    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/...

    Netatalk Issues

    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...

    Netatalk Issues

    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.

    Adaptec SCSI card DOS driver woes (mini-rant)

    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.

    Adaptec SCSI card DOS driver woes (mini-rant)

    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...

    BlueSCSI v2 - DaynaPORT WiFi!

    Just picked up a BlueSCSI v2 Wifi from Amiga of Rochester at VCF East. I can confirm it is working with the RamFAST Rev. D SCSI card in my Apple IIgs as it was not (yet) on the compatibility list. For those wishing to use 2MG files with the BlueSCSI, you can convert them to a compatible format...

    GlobalTalk - Global AppleTalk network for MARCHintosh 2024 (and beyond!)

    If AIR requires classic networking, then any PowerMac with PCI and newer will not work as they require Open Transport. So the AURP gateway is limited to the x100 and x200 Nubus based machines machines.
