Snow Leopard and Classic Mac OS

Ok, well, some more news.

I borrowed a friend's old iBook and installed 10.1 on it. I was able to connect to Snow Leopard just fine. This confirms my hunch that an AFP 3.0 client is now needed to connect to 10.6.

I wonder how different AFP 2.x is in regards to AFP 3.x, and if perhaps a simple protocol "converter" program could be written to sit between the two.

Triplite (Keyspan) has released a Snow Leopard driver for the Serial Adapter. Although the old driver worked, it was buggy I found. The new one is even 64-bit compatible! We should be set for the future for connecting back to the 128k.

Hey guys, I have some partial good news. I updated to 10.6.2 last night. One of the fixes listed was "compatibility with third-party AFP servers". I fired up my 6500 with OS 9.2.2 and was able to connect to it from Snow Leopard with full read/write access! I can confirm this work with 7.6.1 and ShareWay IP as well. On the downside, neither OS 9.2.2 or 7.6.1 were able to connect to Snow Leopard as a client. At least it's something.

We got very lucky in this case. It's rare that Apple will throw us a bone. Good to hear ShareWay works too. What's the oldest OS you can load ShareWay on?
