8.1 to OS X AppleTalk

2003-11-20 Thread Mark Benson
Having done nothing in particular to my 7100cx I now can't mount any OS 
X Based AppleTalk shares that require a password, it just tells me the 
password is wrong. It is not (I'm pretty sure) upgrading to OS X 10.3 
that did id, but might maybe 10.3.1? Connecting to both my OS X Boxes 
using the 'Server IP addess' button in Chooser *did* work until I tried 
it today.

Apple really are trying their damnedest to kill AppleTalk

I should just add that I can mount the ~/Public folders on both 
machines so it's not a protocol issue, it's something to do with 
Authentication.

Re: E-Machines ColorLink Video/E-net Card

 Anyone using a Colorlink card by Emachines?   Is the ethernet portion
 compatible with Open Transport?   I ask, because I have a Futura IISX
 with the ethernet daughterboard and the card freezes my IIci when the
 OT extensions load.  It works fine with Classic Networking.  So I'm
 wondering if the ColorLink has the same problem.
 Jeff Walther

There are three versions of the ColorLink.

COLORLINK DC/T
COLORLINK SX/2
COLORLINK SX/T
None of which has any info I can find about an ethernet daughtercard. If you
can list the exact model, maybe
more info can be found.
Yes, the info in the video section on Lowendmac.com is pretty 
sketchy on these cards.   For one thing, I have the XL2, which isn't 
even mentioned.   For another, all of the above cards have 10baseT 
built in (not on a daughter card) but that isn't mentioned.   The XL2 
has a 10base2 connector, the BNC you mention in your next posting, I 
suspect.

The daughter card ethernet is on the Futura IISX.   The Colorlink had 
it built in to the main card.  I guess that was the Colorlink's claim 
to fame.

Anyway, googling turned up about six links.  There's somewhat more in 
dejanews (google groups) but nothing about Open Transport 
compatibility.  Most of the posts probably predate wide spread use of 
Open Transport.

 They did not kill the classic os, it is still a part of their new OS

It is not, but connecting vintage macs to OS X macs is pretty much on 
topic, just like connecting vintage macs to linux boxes, windows 2000 
fileservers etc.  And I am pretty sure this list has more unix savvy 
people than all other lem lists combined.

I am not sure if a Mac 7200 crammed in a IIcx box is standard issue 
for this list, but that is a different issue altogether.

On the death of a IIfx

2003-11-20 Thread Marten van de Kraats
For anyone who wondered what the life expectancy is of IIfx without a 
fan, I have the answer: it is short.
I have tried it with a modified IIfx (no hard disk (major heat 
producer), very lowend video card and enough holes to get rid of 
heat), it didn't work. The strain on the psu was just to much.  It 
took the machine about 3 weeks to die.  Vintage macs that can work 
without a fan are the LC, the LC II and the IIsi, as has been proofed 
by myself and other people. I am going to look for a IIsi now.

Greetings,

Marten

7100 rather than 7200, lets get the all important form factor right.
Can't imagine why not, other upgrade paths are classed as on topic on other 
lists while bearing little in common with the list subject. The 7100 is vx 
factor and as such fits in a backwards god NO sorta way.

My netatalk setup did have a small problem with the server being listed in the 
macs chooser, this was corrected with the firewall settings or one of the server 
configs. In this case the ip address button on a ppc would still work as you 
described. Sorry I can't be more helpful Mark.

Its so nice to have the old and new nanny in the same thread again, now where's 
the traffic? All in fun folks. :)

Cheers.

fan noise again?

I've often wondered why upgraded aio mac users insist on running a internal psu, 
limiting space and adding heat when compared to a external psu which would 
require the fitting of a plug.

Maybe its a mac thing or is it some psu wierdness, anyone looked at the option 
as there are many fanless external psu's available? stupid question would be 
an acceptable answer. :)

Re: 8.1 to OS X AppleTalk

2003-11-20 Thread Marten van de Kraats
Why should one want to use appletalk when running mac os 8.1 on the 
client machine? Appletalk is an inferior protocol that should be 
avoided when you have the alternative of IP. The only reason I am 
using it is because of my laserwriters being appletalk only and my 
personal server (fanless LC running AppleShare 3) also not being able 
to share via IP.

 fan, I have the answer: it is short.
 I have tried it with a modified IIfx (no hard disk (major heat
 producer), very lowend video card and enough holes to get rid of
 heat), it didn't work. The strain on the psu was just to much.  It
 took the machine about 3 weeks to die.  Vintage macs that can work
 without a fan are the LC, the LC II and the IIsi, as has been proofed
 by myself and other people. I am going to look for a IIsi now.
