Open-source Ethernet driver for the BlueSCSI v2 Wi-Fi on 68k Macs with System 6, faster than DaynaPORT - matthewmrichter/moofport
Following up on my earlier MacTCP replacement MoofTCP, I decided to attack the next bottleneck for network performance on our 68ks by replacing DaynaPort. Much like MoofTCP this is not a decompilation, but a greenfield project. I will caveat that by pointing out that we are still speaking "DaynaPort-ese" to the BlueSCSI - there may be some opportunities to interface more directly with the WiFi on the Raspberry Pi, and/or with MoofTCP.
I spent a weekend painstakingly testing this, and eventually wrote a helper Mac agent to remotely orchestrate send-receive tests. I was able to consistently get 25-30% better network performance on the hardware compared to Dayna. It's also a bit easier to install, if I do say so myself. Maybe along with MoofTCP can reduce barrier to entry for people getting into the 68k scene.
