Sponsored by PCBWay: https://pcbway.com/g/ynWgss Installing NetBSD on a vintage Mac? Easier said than done — especially when you're staring down 200MB of data and a stack of floppies. In this episode, I take a crucial detour: upgrading a Macintosh Performa 450 (a.k.a. LC III) with a Farallon EtherMac network adapter. Along the way, I dive into the quirks of MacTCP, wrestle with BinHex and MacBinary formats, and (sort of) solved the great mystery of why my Mac refused to respond to a simple ping … ➕ Big thanks to PCBWay for supporting this retro adventure! 💾 Got any LocalTalk gear or PhoneNET adapters gathering dust? I’d love to feature them in a future episode! 📆 New episodes every Sunday — subscribe and stay tuned! 00:00 Intro 00:44 Farallon & Classic Macintosh Networking 02:01 Installing Farallon EtherMac LC 04:26 Recreating Farallon EtherMac Drivers Disk 05:33 EtherMac & MacTCP Setup 08:01 Dealing With BinHex, MacBinary and Stuffit 09:37 MacTCP Ping in Action! 10:30 Conclusion: Ready for NetBSD Want to join THE PHINTAGE SUPPORTERS or THE PHINTAGE ENTHUSIASTS community and get a mention in an upcoming video?
