Re: SE/30 Problems

As it is, it has some useful software on it and is running and booting system 7.1 just fine. The problem is when it comes to networking. It has something called Timbuktu Pro, version 2.0 on it that seems to intercept nearly any change I attempt to make to the network settings with a request for a master password. Of course, I don't know the master password and was wondering if anyone knew a way around this or a way to defeat it. If worst came to worst, could I somehow simply remove Timbuktu Pro entirely and thereby get around it? Glenn McGaha Miller A couple of ideas here: 1..Booting with an OS 6.0.8 disk might fool it. 2..For this one you need a 2nd Mac, 68020 or higher, that has localtalk port: Get an OS 7 (any) boot disk and add ForceAtalk extension and JCRemote extension. Add JCRemote extension to 2nd Mac. When SE/30 boots the ForceAtalk extension will force the PRAM to a localtalk mode at printer port. The PRAM, having been changed, will cause a chime and a disk eject. Push the disk back in before SE/30 has a chance to try to boot from HD. On 2nd Mac the SE/30's hard drive will be available in Chooser. You can then retrieve any files that you want before nuking and paving the SE/30 HD. Both of the mentioned extensions can be copied from this disk: http://home.earthlink.net/~gamba2/download/superbooter75.bin BTW. this disk will do if the 2 extensions are moved out of the Extensions disabled folder into Extensions folder.

It's possible that 4MB SIMMs are 3 chip, because they could be using 16Mbit chips instead of 4MBit chips. If you have 4Mbit per chip, you need 8 to make 4Mbyte. If you have 16Mbit per chip, you need 1/4 the number of chips (2 instead of 8) to make 4Mbyte. The third is a parity chip. Eagle -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Can a PhoneNet cable/connector be used as a null modem calbe? The long version: I am interested in networking Macs via their serial ports. Not for LocalTalk, but for PPP, to a Unix machine (Mac OS X Server). I've been looking around for info on doing this -- looking at the FAQ, searching google, looking at Amber's site and other Mac networking sites. So far I've come up empty handed. All I am trying to figure out right now is how to hook up two Macs via their serial ports, so they can talk to each other, as over a null modem cable. Just hook the two Macs together via their Printer Ports, set file sharing on each, open the Chooser and activate AppleTalk on each and go to work. Depending on your OS you may have to configure the AppleTalk control panel as well. Is it possible to use my PhoneNet connectors and cables for this, if I'm just going to have two Macs on the wire? If not, can I use a printer cable? (I found a reference that implied that those might be null modem cables.) For two macs you could use either PhoneNet or a serial cable. See above, concerning the printer. I have a couple of DIN9-DB25 cables, but no gender changers and no null modem adapters, so no matter what I do I'll likely be buying something or cutting ends off my serial cables. Huh? I have never heard of a way (doesn't mean there isn't one, certainly) to get a PC to talk to a Mac over serial connections without inserting an AppleTalk card into the PC. Once I have the physical link working, I'll putz until I figure out how to get the other stuff running. :) Eagle An interesting project. Have you been to: http://www.mandrake.demon.co.uk/Apple/ltalk/index.html or to: http://www.atpm.com/network/index.html to do a bit of reading up? Have fun Ken Ken, Thanks for your response, but I'm not trying to get them networked via AppleTalk -- I don't want to do File Sharing. I want to get an old Mac onto Internet, and to do that I want it to talk (via PPP) to another computer. But I want to do that over a serial cable instead of over a modem. There ought to be a way to do this -- all it should take is a null modem cable (two DIN8-to-DB25 cables and a null modem adapter should also work) and the proper software. I'm sufficiently versed in software and will eventually figure out that end of it -- the only thing I need help with is the physical layer. I don't know what constitutes a null modem cable for a Mac -- my serial port knowledge is only on PCs, and I have yet to figure out what of that translates to the Mac. Another way to look at is like this: I want to use one Mac as a terminal on the other. I know ZTerm will allow me to do this, but how can I hook the two up to get ZTerm to work? The project is much more complex than that, but that's where it starts. All of the instructions I've found detail how to do what I want to do... but over a modem. I want to do it via null modem -- directly from computer to computer. I just don't know what kind of cable I need.

They added relatively large internal caches and FPUs. To add features to Windows _and_ continue support (with a limited feature set) for older CPUs would've made Windows code more complex. The 68k CPUs started life at mostly 32bit then went full 32bit and didn't change much except for integrating the MMU then finally the FPU and a small internal cache in the 040. That's a pretty good explanation of why I took 68k assembler in college and have forever avoided x86 assembler -- won't even touch it with a 10-foot-pole. 68k assembler just made sense to me. x86 -- not so much. After the 040 and 486 they split off in different directions. Motorola made a few further advances with the 68k but Apple chose to dive into the pool with IBM and Motorola on the PowerPC and an aborted attempt to build a computer that would run Mac OS and other operating systems. (The CHRP system.) The x86 world decided to pile on more and more Mhz and features like MMX, 3D-Now! and a whole host of others. Apple/IBM/Motorola has brought us a steady progression in basic performance from the 601 through the G3 and one major added feature with AltiVec on the G4. (Which still isn't fully exploited.) One wonders when the x86 MHz pile-on will dead end. Just because you CAN run some versions of the Mac System or Mac OS on a computer 8 or so years older than the OS version doesn't mean that it's going to be tolerable to use. :) Windows avoided that by dropping support for older CPUs with fewer features and less capabilities. Call it fostering consumer loyalty if you want, but it sure didn't help drive sales of new Macs to not fix each new major System version to drop the previous CPU generation.

Yes, but like I said, doesn't matter much if the network isn't connected to the Internet... The presence or absence of IP addresses in the absence of Internet connectivity is indeed inconsequential. It's as easy to leave them configured as it is to remove it, I suppose. However, we were originally saying that *DNS* is not necessary when Internet connectivity is nonexistent. That is indeed true: you can use hosts files on each machine, but it does get tedius. You can set up any machine in your network capable of running MacDNS, and allow it to serve as your internal DNS server. You can configure your own machine names in that, and let it proxy to the world when necessary (and connected). You don't need a separate DNS server just to talk to the world.

Re: *that* network question
On Tuesday, April 9, 2002, at 07:43 , Mark Benson wrote: OK, nobody seems to get my drift so I obviously explained it about as well Donald Rumsfeld ;). Heres what I have at the moment: 4 machines all using TCP/IP, 3 using OT, 1 using OS X. All machines have static IPs assigned using the DHCP module in IPNR All machines have a DNS name assigned through Mac DNS All Machines are also setup to share via AppleTalk All Machines talk fine over both AppleTalk and TCP/IP. The only modem is attached (built-into) my iBook I dial up to my ISP through this modem. DNS DHCP are administered from my LCIII, which runs MacDNS and IPNR *already*. This machine runs 24/7 and never is disconnected but will probably be replaced by my IIci when I get it as the IIci has the option of 2 NICs. When I am at University I use my friends Linux server, which routes from a Windows XP machine connected to ADSL (which Is how I know it can be done), to do the above instead as it's already set up, I only set up DNS, DHCP and stuff on my network at home to fill the gap while I'm not at Uni, but I graduate in June so I will need it permanently after that. I could buy a modem for my LCIII (a serial 56k that works shouldn't be *that* hard to find right?) or the IIci I am buying (same thing really). On the other hand I could work out how to do the following: Using IPNSX I can broadcast the Internet connection over the network with the following conditions: DNS and Router for all TCP/IP clients have to be set to the iBook. IPNSX has to be running on my iBook to run the services, I can run them by hand but it's gotta be the world's largest mess about. The way I see it I need to attach the iBook to a separate sub-net to rout the internet connection to the rest of the network which means I can't do it until I get my IIci and a couple if NuBus network cards (I could do it on my Quadra if I bought one but I don't want to tie it down and IIci machines make great servers). Is all this correct or can I do it all on 1 hub and one NIC? Mark, OK, let me see if I understand this correctly: 1- You have a bunch of LocalTalk-only Macs 2- You use IPNetRouter 68k to route IP to said LocalTalk Macs 3a- In certain situations, you use a Windows box to route from LocalTalk to Internet (via IPNR) 3b- In other situations, you use an iBook running IPNetShareX to route from LocalTalk to Internet (via IPNR) Perhaps we should start with a question: What is your end goal? I would guess that it is allowing your LocalTalk machines Internet access no matter how they are connected -- i.e. via Windows or via OS X. Since you have all of your machines already configured to access Internet through IPNR, there's no need to reconfigure ALL OF THOSE. Simply tell IPNR that its default route is your OS X box instead of the Windows NT box. Also, there's no need to reconfigure your machines to use your iBook as DNS. Either run a caching DNS server on any one of them (and don't change which one) or tell them to use ANY DNS server on Internet. ANY one. It doesn't matter which. Just remember: the farther away the DNS server is from your machines, the longer it will take to resolve names. But... ANY one will work. Unless your ISP blocks outbound DNS queries, but that's *highly* unlikely. I think what you have is a very workable situation, but that you're likely complicating it. As I said a moment ago, we should probably start by answering the question What is your end goal? Eagle -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...

Or just From Ethernet (was LocalTalk) through XP? Either way will require SOME amount of reconfiguration. 3b- In other situations, you use an iBook running IPNetShareX to route from LocalTalk to Internet (via IPNR) No, you got the wrong end of the stick entirely, sorry. Should I give up now? One problem is only that we do not yet understand what you want to do. A further problem is that you want to have your machines in different places and yet not have to reconfigure them. You will have to reconfigure, at minimum, the DHCP server, which should provlde to the clients an IP address, a subnet mask, a router address, and DNS information (including DNS server and domain name). If any of those pieces are hard-coded on the clients, then there is nothing you can do except reconfigure the clients to use ONLY DHCP. As I said earlier: what is your end goal? It seems that you want the unlikely (not quite impossible): having a setup such that your machines can be Here or There or Wherever... without reconfiguration. Is that right?

The Sustworks application is merely a front-end to the NAT abilities inherent in the system. Brickhouse is also a GUI front end to the NAT services built into OS X. The cool thing about NAT in OS X is that it can be done over a SINGLE interface -- that is, the inside and the outside IP addresses can BOTH be on a single ethernet port. Very cool.
