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,…

Digikey's 3.9uF cap worked great. Last time C1 blew, I just swapped analog boards. This time I repaired the original analog board by replacing C1 with the Digikey cap, swapped th…

On the same subject. I have a AGP 400mhz Gigabite that refuses to boot from the retail OS 9 CD. Tried 8.6 but no go. It tried from the CD 10.4 but it kernal panics. ideas? Cl…

It does sound like a dried out solder joint, somewhere in the red line. If it was a dying gun I wouldn't expect it to be intermittent at first. http://www.repairfaq.org/sam/monfa…

Had a similar issue - fixed by resoldering the cables going to the analogue board to the PCB plugged into the back of the tube. JB

The screen of my Color Classic would intermittently go off color - as in the red would become greenish and so on. It was intermittent a few weeks ago, now it seems to be off color…

I just want to point out in answer to the question in my original post, one should not attempt to use a normal 4uF electrolytic (polarized) cap in place of C1. C1 is a bipolar cap…

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…

Replacing C1 fixes one of the major problems with the earliest analog boards, but replacing only that cap won't solve other problems created by other caps that are either weak or d…

.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…

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…

I must admit that I've not yet seen the same amount of "leaking" Click to expand... heh from that era I bet they are "sealed" vs newer ones are safety vented, I wonder how many…

If I were set in changing C1 and only C1, it would not matter to me if the price was even $6 total, if that including shipping to me in Japan. Perhaps it would be more desirab…

I'm not worried about getting a discount on a $3 part. Mine arrived yesterday, I hope to find some time to do the repair and test the board some time this week. I bought a couple…
