These should be the only ones that need the combination of AppleTalk and the workaround as described above if a Linux based CUPS server is supposed to do the PostScript rendering – which it needs to do the PPD/driver handling for. I haven't finished the guide yet, but most of it is ready.Īdespoton wrote:Wow! Thanks! I really need to see if I can get this set up on one of my PPC Minis now that the printing issue has been figured out and AirPrint is supported.Īctually, the printing issue was specific to certain old PostScript printers of which – to my knowledge – the LaserWriter 4/600 PS and the Personal LaserWriter 320 were the only ones that didn't have any other port but LocalTalk. Including compilation of a system with kernel AppleTalk (and the VM as build environment needed for that), installing/configuring Samba, CUPS, the PAP backend, etc. I begun writing a detailed guide on how to set everything up. See his thread on how to compile a kernel for a C.H.I.P. In mactjaap's and my case, we had to take care of that ourselves. If you work with a VM and do it the way described on the A2SERVER website, A2SERVER will take care of it (it also does when using a Raspberry Pi). In all three cases the key thing is having AppleTalk compiled into the kernel or as kernel module. mactjaap did this (without using A2SERVER but setting up netatalk himself) in a minimalistic way, spending $10 for a C.H.I.P.I have done it not using a VM, but hardware (Banana Pi) as I wanted a server running independently and with an HDD attached. Also using A2SERVER, I've done it the other way around: sharing an AppleTalk printer to a modern network by installing a PAP backend for CUPS at the Linux side.At the link you provided iphillips77 describes, next to using it for AppleTalk file sharing, how to share a printer from a modern network via AppleTalk to a legacy Mac by activating PAPD.Install System 7.5.5 to the System disk as usual.Adespoton wrote: … apo_laser/ details how to get a fully functional netatalk server going that can talk to localtalk devices (both printing and filesharing). I had issues with attempting to switch disks during the installation, so I resorted to loading them all at the same time. minivmac -r Mac-IIcx.ROM System.dsk "System 7.5.5 Update - 1" "System 7.5.5 Update - 2" "System 7.5.5 Update - 3" I needed this because the 7.5.3 Network Access Disk threw an ‘unimplemented trap’ error when run on the pre-built Mini vMac binary.

Obtain a Macintosh Plus ROM and a Macintosh II ROM. As I discovered today, however, this isn't as simple as it seems, and many links have gone dead since I last tried, so here are my notes on getting a working install. The original post appears below for posterity.Īs I posted some time ago, Mini vMac now supports colour display when emulating a Macintosh II. Pre-built binaries are now available from the Mini vMac downloads page supporting Macintosh II with 256 colours. This post is several years old and is now out-of-date.
