I have a stack of silvers I use with my old Thinkpads and Wallstreets. Under OS 9.x with the wavelan drivers you need to input either 0x or x before you type in the WEP key or it d…

Have you considered simply getting a game adapter and using that for wireless? I have a WGA600N velcro'ed to my TiBook/867 which is powered off the FireWire, and the WGA handles th…

The difference between the "Silver" and 'Gold" Lucent cards is the "Silver" only supported 40/64 bit WEP, while almost everything else in the universe uses 104/128 bit WEP. The ori…

Can anyone help? I am having trouble connecting on my home network with my Powerbook 1400/166 equipped with a Lucent/Orinoco Silver card. It works fine on the open network at work,…

If anyone has a link to a document chronicling the secret recipe for speaking to an HD-20 it might be an apropos time to trot it out. Click to expand... We've been begging for…

Not sure if this is applicable in your situation, but I'm running Netatalk under Slackware 13 (upgraded from Slackware 12.1). After my upgrade, I noticed that I couldn't connect t…

I would concentrate on getting AFP going. At least that is what netatalk is good at doing.

Porter, Thanks a lot. That was interesting. I removed (well, commented) the config line in the atalkd.conf and restarted services, then power cycled the AsanteTalk. when I check…

I would clear the address and zone information from your netatalk.conf. Zones only make sense to netatalk if it is active on multiple network cards and acting as a bridge between …

If I unplug the AsanteTalk for a minute, the Mac tells me that the AppleTalk network is not available. If I then plug it in I do get the alert from the Mac that the AppleTalk netwo…

Once the machines are all up and running and you think everything should be working, unplug the power to the AsanteTalk, wait a minute, then and re apply the power to it. This sho…

Anders, That's a very generous offer - and I may very well take you up on it. I'll see about buying the caps off Trag first though. It's be nice to get my SE/30's going again - e…

Dude you just hit it out of the freaking park. That is the most concise explanation of the 400/800KB drive I have read. Even the biography is an excellent source of information. …

.conf file stuff: from atalkd.conf: fxp0 -seed -phase 2 -net 1-1000 -addr 1000.142 -zone "weif" This seems to match what I see in /var/log/messages afpd.conf is empty (except t…

the AsanteTalk packaging says it allows your ethernet Mac "to communicate with up to eight LocalTalk devices, including LocalTalk Macintoshes and LocalTalk supported printers." I w…

Thanks for all the tips, everyone. Yes, the kernel was compiled with netatalk enabled. I don't see any errors (at least nothing I think are errors) in /var/log/messages when I st…

Anders, That's a very generous offer - and I may very well take you up on it. I'll see about buying the caps off Trag first though. It's be nice to get my SE/30's going again - e…

I've bought mine off Trag (Jeff) here on 68kmla. Prompt shipping, and a fair price (15us$ I think). I live in Denmark, and I'd like to volunteer my labour to a fellow enthusiast. …

I have a pair of SE/30's, from the serial numbers one is Irish and the other is American, and I'd like to replace the capacitors on both. One did work occasionally, but now only s…

Unless the Asante bridge is one of those "crippled" bridges that only work with printers, I suspect it's just "dumb" bridge and will happily shunt AppleTalk packets back and forth …

I'm actually more interested in the Asante box. Do you have another known-good Mac you can put on the other side of the bridge to make sure that the Asante is routing AppleTalk cor…

...Just one more thing to note... it looks like the Mac floppy drive *isn't* a completely dumb device. Look in your copy of "Inside Macintosh", the hardware section, and read the b…

My Arduino board arrived so I can start experimenting with the Microcontroller. I also share the concern that the memory is too small, but well just have to see what happens. My n…

If you are going to emulate the 400K drive itself, it is completely dumb. The IWM in a first generation Mac is exactly the same as the IWM in an Apple //c or an Apple II non-integ…

If you don't mind risking such a machine...your best bet would be a Mac II. Otherwise, you could gut an external Apple 3.5" drive for the adaptor board and connect it to an IWM-equ…
