![]() Linux kernels from 2.2 on provide AppleTalk support. It contains a list of the most important instruction files to use, which are in /netatalk-1.5.x.x/doc/. See /netatalk-1.5.x.x/README, in the directory where your unpacked tarball resides. For sure it will run on these with a minimum of tweakage: Netatalk should runs on any POSIX-compliant UNIX. Be sure to download from the Netatalk page on Sourceforge, that is the current, active site. The current stable Netatalk version as of this writing is 1.5.3.1. For fewer hassles, have the most current version. The client machines need the AppleTalk client. If you need shared files or printers to be on a Mac box, Netatalk won’t work. For many client machines on any platform, this is not a problem- shared files and services are on a server. One thing Netatalk does not do: Mac boxes can access UNIX shares, but UNIX boxes cannot access Mac files or services. smaller LAN or department needing basic file and print servicesĪpple’s Workgroup Manager recognizes Netatalk servers.you already have a *nix server, with established user accounts.Here are some guidelines for deciding if Netatalk is a good choice for you: Combine it with Samba to create a *nix, Apple, and Windows LAN operating together in happy harmony. Netatalk is a kernel-level implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol Suites, enabling a UNIX server to supply Appletalk file and print services. Vendors, of course, want nothing but their product line in your shop, untainted by competitor’s offerings. I think I read somewhere that OSX 6.3 still carries a OS9 compatible AFP? which means re-installing Snow Leopard and never updating.One of the more “fun” chores for the network administrator is making mixed platforms play together. or for example if I buy a QNAP or Synology NAS will I be able to enter a IP address in chooser and mount the drive? Can't find any info to confirm this on their websites (fair enough I guess, why would they test it with OS9?) ĝoes anyone know of a simple (software) work around without spending much? I heard I could use a FTP connection using Fetch on the G4, but I'm not sure how to configure it and knowing Sonic it probably won't like that much. All I need is a disk that can be mounted in OS9 and OSX at the same time, and as far as I know this can't be done with the disk sitting in a Mac running OSX 10.6.8. You cannot connect to it"Īfter a couple of days researching I'm still a little unsure of my options. Then, and only then did I find out that chooser (OS 9) now couldn't connect to mac pro via AFP because Snow Leopard now uses an incompatible version of AFP, to quote error message "This file server uses and incompatible version of the AFP protocol. It was about time I did a "clean install" on the Pro, I don't have a disc copy of Leopard so I ordered a copy of Snow Leopard so I could wipe the system drive and start from fresh and updated to the latest version. OS 9 connected (via chooser -> AppleShare -> server IP address) to all the drives in my Pro effortlessly using it's IP address, I could pick and choose which disks to mount onto the desktop for Sonic DVD Creator to read and write to. Up until last week I was using Leopard 10.5.8 on the Pro. DVD SP isn't an option.įrom moving out of the office studio in London and going remote I set up a 2TB scratch disk on my Mac Pro for all the encodes, menu graphics and authoring scripts which connected to my G4 via ethernet, effectively using the Pro as my authoring server. Sonic stopped developing their pro DVD application on the Macintosh back in 2002 which left our authoring stations stuck in OS 9. I use Sonic Solutions DVD Creator for our DVD authoring. Has anyone any experience with a AFP NAS that can be mounted by OS 9.2.2 & OSX 10.6.8 simultaneously?Ĭomputers: 1 Mirror Door G4 and a 1 Mac Pro Xeon 2006 OSX 10.6.8.
