Well, after two years kicking around an idea to get a Mac 512K on a modern network, I've finally got all the pieces together I needed. Thanks to Dog Cow for hooking me up with EasyShare, which was the final, crucial piece.

I was able to connect a Mac 512K to my iMac running Snow Leopard, as well as iPhones and iPads. This was accomplished by a bridge Mac, where I was able to send the AppleTalk share forward as FTP.

I've got some videos and documentation up on my web site for anyone who's interested. http://web.me.com/nilesmitchell/Mac512k/Welcome.html

I wound up using a Mac 512Ke, because it seems EasyShare requires the 128K ROM. I have a link on my web page under the Details tab to my public iDisk, where I have a copy of the EasyShare demo. Anyone who has a stock Mac 512K with 64K ROM, please give it a whirl and see if you can get it to work.

Although the documentation says it will work on System 3.2, I couldn't get it to work on anything lower than 4.1. In the video, I mistakenly said I was using System 4.2, but it's really 4.1.
