ethernet cabling

[Scott Barber]

hello,
I'm setting up my IIfx as a router . the client is an SE30.

Before router software(IPNetrouter) I shared files via a cross-over cable.

now that I want to share an IP connection over serial dial-up, will I need
to switch to a regular(pass through) ethernet cable between router (IIfx)
and client (se30)?

(cross-posted to MacNetwork and Vintage Macs- hoping to beat the stores
closing if I need the regular cable)

_tia_

superdrive malfunctioning

[Scott Barber]

My SE30 has the 1.4MB SuperDrive, and I'm getting clicks and clunks with
known good diskettes.
Does this type of drive use the same optical switch as the 400K ref.
A.Daniel King's article at:
<http://www.mindspring.com/%7Ea.d.king/400K/>  ?
With effort it will mount aand read a  disk, but the noise is terrible...

ram disks, untrashables (deja ppp)

[Scott Barber]

How do all?

After getting the SE30 and IIfx online with ppp, I think I've managed to
get a fairly stable  set up with iCab. I've fiddled with modem and browser
prefs., and  I followed pickle's advice (thanks!) and have mounted RAM
disks.

I tried ramdisk-3.24 first. With the SE30 (68mb RAM, OS 7.1) I can load the
entire System Folder together with iCab and Eudora on the ramdisk at
startup. The IIfx (32mb RAM, OS 7.5.5) on the other hand didn't like that
app, and variously crashed, bombed, and froze with any ram disk larger than
4000k or so.

 Finally dumped ramDisk and ran Norton on blackbird's drives, it reported
to have fixed several errors in the disk structure/addressing but a few of
files couldn't be repaired. So I trashed them, but the @#$@% things won't
go when I dump the trash !

 If other items are in the trash, they are deleted, leaving two stubborn
ones. (*while double checking just before posting this, I was able to
delete two of the files...?!... two remain

- when putting the individual files in the trash I get the error message :

"You cannot move the selected items to the "Trash", because it
cannot be found."

-if I put them in a folder, I can move the folder and files into the trash,
but when I try to empty it, there is no movement in the of the deletion
progress bar. The window's stop button functions normally.

* Any way to get rid of them short of wiping the drive.?

Since cleaning things up (apart from these two files) I grabbed AppDisk
1.6.1 and followed Gamba's set up brief, and I've got a 16mb RAM disk
happily mounted on the IIfx with iCab's cache loaded there.

* Is it desirable to load the sytem and/or browser applications in the ram
disk if there's enough room?
* What size is good for the System cache? ( with or without RAM disks...)

via ppp

[Scott Barber]

blackbird and johnHenry online!

I've finally added ppp to my community net account and have a IIfx and an
SE30 online with OT and FreePPP. The SE30  (68mb ram) is running 7.1 and
the IIfx (32mb ramhas 7.5.5.
I'm using:

Eudora Light 3.1.3
iCab Preview 2.8.1
MacTelnet (NCSA Telnet 2.6)

-ideas on best (free) FTP client? version?

Its exciting to have graphic access after a couple of years using Lynx via
terminal emulation.
Originally I tried OT/PPP, but my SupraExpress 33.6 modem didn't like the
default Rockwell init string. FreePPP works fine and lets me enter and save
my own intit strings.

POP mail is almost as good as Pine ;-) I like getting my digests downloaded
directly, to read in a viewer offline... with Pine  on my ISP, I have to
export them to my file directory there, and quit Pine to download them to
my machine at home. Eudora doesn't have as extensive  key-commands, but
then again using BBEdit Lite and pasting to Eudora works fine...

I had some troubles at first with images stalling but things seem much
better after giving iCab more memory, and giving the system a larger cache.

-Does this make sense? I'm not sure about the system disk cache thing...
- any pointers for setting up a ram disk for iCab?

recent posts about customizing OS 7.1 have me wondering about my extensions
there, and in my OS 7.5.5.

-Advice about tuning the system and avoiding conflicts would be appreciated...

I've made a browsing set with the extensions manager in 7.5.5 with
Appletalk, Sharing, Apple Menu options off. I wasn't able to get this
extension manager (System 7.5 Version 7.5.3 v.3.0.3)
to work with 7.1.

-what extesions manager can I use w/ 7.1?

BTW, many thanks to vm and cm. blackbird and johnHenry wouldn't be wading
the web without you...

cheers,
scb

Zmodem/Open Transport

[Scott Barber]

Hi, recently doing some downloads with my se30 using Zmodem I started to
experience _alot_ of errors. About the only change recently on the MacOS
(7.5.3) side of things as been to use OT extensions and CPs for local
talking with my IIfx. 
Whether downloading to the se30, or to a folder on one of the IIfx's
shared drives, I was getting a ton of errors. Thought it was my ISP, or
the files themselves, but now that I've toggled OT a few times, I figure
it must be the cause of the interference

-- So (if) that's the cause, how come? Seems to me that going in the
modem/out the printer ports wouldn't be to tough for the se30...

-- would classic networking do the trick, or am I stuck with downlading to
se30, then transfering to IIfx via localtalk in _two_ steps.

tia,
scb

7.5.5 upgrade

[Scott Barber]

howdy all,

Having recently upped the ram in my IIfx from 8mb to 32mb, I decided to
try upping 7.5.3 to 7.5.5. (did so with three disk upgrade...)

- question is, does 7.5.5 have its own revision, as did 7.5.3 (rev.2),
with which I ought to finish the system upgrade?

- and another: would it be worth my while hunting up OS 7.6 (7.6.1) for
the IIfx?

- if so, is there a location for free download of 7.6, only the update to
7.6.1 is available from apple... maybe a place like where I found 7.1 ??

your help and opinions appreciated, 
tia,
scb

[Scott Barber]

greetings all,

This is the second anniversary marking our getting access to the WWW with
our first computer, psyduck, a Macintosh Classic 4/40.

I want to say thankyou to all the listers at compact.macs and
vintage.macs. Thanks for answering my newbie questions when I've ventured
out of lurking mode. Thanks for teaching me about macs and computers 'n'
such

To celebrate I got 32mb ram for my IIfx (thanks raino!!), and put up my
very first website:

"webWader" can be found at:
<http://www.chebucto.ca/~az627/webWader.html>

Yet another hobby site, but I gotta start somewhere ;)
and of course its not _ready_ yet.

Comments, criticism, encouragement most welcome!

Happy Beltane all!

regards,
scb

Magnavox Display

[Scott Barber]

How do

My IIfx is using a Magnavox Professional Mac Color Display, running off an
Apple Toby Frame Buffer (??) Nubus card...

-Anyone know of a source of info about it, I've been having trouble to
navigate Philips sites with Lynx

-if I change video cards, say to an 8*24GC, what changes in performance,
if any would one expect?

-If this monitor is passed on from IIfx to my se30 in the future, and I
get ahold of a PDS video card for it, will it work for us?

-I am generally clueless about the mysteries of video, displays,
resoutions , etc. Know any good places on the web to bone up on these
things?

tia!

peace,
scb

see:

Oh. I thought maybe it was something that could do a virtual keyboard

So what _would_ keystrokes do if I could use it on an se30 or IIfx.

I'm not familiar with "Keystrokes"- How does it work? What is the

Can it be used for a keyboardless Plus, or does it require an '020 or

No, not the only one... but I don't now the answer- but I'm trying out
Graphic Converter 4.1 (68k) (current 68k shareware :) !) and it seems to
me one can save resources from file to file with it?? Maybe someone who
actually knows how to use it can say if this is so, and applicable for

so would not so equally be what we call corrupted pram?
What got me wondering on this subject was how zapping the pram seems to
normalize communication between mac and hard drive _in some cases
anyways_.

So I got to wondering hows that work, and what info is placed in the pram
when a drive is formated. 

So that got me wondering what other info could be placed there, perhaps
forgoing some items. (Like a Gamba boot floppy image :O of course I'm
refering to using Gamba's creative processnot that 7xxK will
fit in the pram!) 

I was wondering if something like that could be used to creatively prepare
the mac for booting min. systems, or boot straping with Penguin
semi-automatically

I know I must be I'm moofing up the wrong directory but my excuse is that
I still know absolutely nothing about what's _really_ in my mac ;(
Any urls gratefully accepted :) 
...still "pramPrep" and "pramPrep's Penguin* Partner" c)scb 2002 ;)...

Anyway, it seems that in some cases, a good zap will help get a good boot,

pram and 7.5.3 upgrade

[Scott Barber]

Hi...
Speaking of PRAM,  besides date and time, startup disk, what other
settings does it hold? Driver info for hard drives? etc?
Is it different for the various vintage macs?

and another thing I've been wondering about: what is the difference
between 7.5.3 and 7.5.5?

Hello fellow listers,
It is my pleasure to pass on the good news: someone still writing for m68k
macs. It was Dan Knight who first led me to Matthew Hershberger's _Digest

b13 was broken for 68k, Matthew went the extra mile... so it is our turn
to support him.

Digest Viewer b14 is now released... check out:

That'd be great. I just release b14, so no need to wait 'til 
November! You should also download b14, because the test versions I 
sent you expire at the same time as b13, which is at the end of the 
month.

I'm not sure this applies to your situation, but when I tried swaping drives between
my IIfx and se30, I encountered problems mounting the drives. Eventually I found that
I had to use TechTool to zap the PRAM in order to keep the drive mounted and bootable.
I really am not sure why this worked, though I'm guessing that because the IIfx has
different SCSI, the PRAM requires different settings. (??) Maybe this sould help your
I/o problems after the swap?

HTH,

PRAM and Boot Drives

[Scott Barber]

how-do all,

pickle previously posted:

>System disk is.

Back in July when I first got hold of my IIfx, I tried swapping internal drives with 
my se30. Got quite a scare when the result was two drives that wouldn't boot either 
machine- so got out my Norton disks, after booting off the floppy, and running Disk Do
ctor, I could mount the hard drive, but no way would it boot off it, depite a blessed 
Sys. folder. Same deal using silver lining to mount the drive... you know the story- 
trying this and that, you know it oughta work, but it won't...

Finally, I had second thoughts about the system clock telling me it was february in 
the distant future: If the PRAM stores hardware clock info. something is pretty screwy 
if its telling me 2018 or whatever... I guessed the PRAM must have something to do w
ith the boot problem.

The solution was to boot with the Network Access Disk, so as to have Sys.7 to run Tech 
Tool. (my Norton's are 6.x) Zapped the PRAM, and rebooted- right off the HD.

I guess the two machines having different SCSI screwed up the boot parameters.?

peace,

little macs that could

[Scott Barber]

greetings vintage maccers,

previous posters posted:

>No.  The right linux to get would be no Linux at all :-p
>NetBSD is much more stable and mature on the 68K platform.

>Mmm... I read similar messages quite often on this list... Linux must

(marten)


H#$L it's as slow as molasses in January on my se30, more like April on the IIfx. But 
Penguins are cute :-p

Our old macs seem to do stuff they're not expected to, it's part of their magic...

blackbird and johnHenry, my little macs that could...

So with machine speed matching my learning curve, a`la prochaine

mode32,Penguin, and you

My response to follow as

>william

william, I checked the  Linux/m68k FAQ at:   
   
   
   
quote: "8. What about MODE32?

   Mode32 is a fix required because the ROMS in several machines are not
   32-bit clean. (SE/30, II, IIx, IIcx) Currently, I have no trouble
   booting my IIcx without Mode32, but this was not always the case. If
   you need it, it can be downloaded from www.apple.com. See the note
   later.

   As Mode32 merely fixes a ROM problem, it is not required for the
   general operation of Linux on the Macintosh, just the bootup stage"
   
/quote

You'll probabally need it to boot, and well, Debian could make use of all the physical 
RAM you've got.

I'm in the middle of the install on johnHenry (se30 8MB RAM w/ a 1GB Seagate 
partitioned roughly 500mb MacOS, 400mb linux root, 100 linux swap.) As I don't have a 
ppp connection still, I'm installing from the mac partion rather than a NSF.It's slow 
going,
 particularally as I have zero experience with unix, etc. and I guess more RAM in 
JohnHenry wouldn't hurt :) . 

I'm figuring it out on my own via web resources and a book loaner from Chebucto 
Community Net: "LINUX: The Complete Reference", Ed. John Purcell, Pub. Walnut Creek 
Cdrom . Haven't yet found a MacPenguinGuru (tm) in my area :)  The 
folks at 
Chebucto are all pc hardware, and I haven't been fluent enough in linux to ask them 
intelligent questions, though now that I've got something  resembling Debian up on 
"blackbird" the IIfx, and johnHenry is hammering away at dselect ... I oughta start 
sort
ing some of this stuff out. Right now I'm trying to get a handle on packages & 
dependencies & configurations.

I'd love to hear how it's going with your se30, write direct if the list is tired of 
hearing about linux and the little macs that could...

ps. i guess you saw the parallel computing packages available in Deb...?

cheers. Scott

linux m68k for PB 150

[Scott Barber]

   Greetings Edwin,
   
   I did a comparison of the supported hardware on the m68K site, and the specs
for your machine on lowendmac...
   
   From what I can gather, any Mac with the 68030 processor and FPU should boot
   Linux, but as far as I know the PB 150 has no FPU. Don't despair yet, I also
read this in the FAQ: 
   
"The Linux/m68k for Macintosh FAQ (p 9 of 39)
Update 5/26/2000: FPU emulation should be functional on all 68030
machines in the latest 2.2 kernels."
   
   
   Check back with the linux m68k site to find out the where and how for FPU
emulation for your PB150, then give it a try. :)

AFAIK, X is ported, though I haven't tried it yet- I'll probabally have to wait
'till I can make more room on my IIfx's HD, or swap in another.

My next mini project is to get terminal emulation a la ZTerm with linux so I
can access my ISP (I don't have a ppp account yet...) There's a m68k version of
minicom- I'll try installing shortly.

good luck with your PB 150!

peace,
scb

linux-mac68k

[Scott Barber]

s'up william,

you asked about a debian list for your '030:

mail to: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
with "subscribe" in message body

must see: <http://www.mac.linux-m68k.org/>

I had to install the 2.2.10 kernal to get the drivers loaded, then loaded
the 2.2.19...

Now that I've installed it on the fx, I'll be trying again with JohnHenry
the se30.

keep us updated with your trials

a la prochaine,
scb

fx termination

[Scott Barber]

I tried to post this question the other day, but it hasn't appeared on the
last two digests, here it is again:

Does the black terminator used for external SCSI devices with the MacIIfx
have a green led?
I'm being given one, and want to use the correct terminator...
tia,
scb
