A2SERVER

A2SERVER's central capability, sharing files to an Apple II, is provided by Netatalk 2.2.4.

Here's the extra sauce that A2SERVER provides:

  • available as a ready-to-use Raspberry Pi operating system installer

    (plus new Pi Filler and Pi Copier utilities for easy SD card creation and backup)

  • available as a ready-to-use VirtualBox appliance for Mac OS X, Windows, Linux, and Solari

  • simple downloadable installation script for Ubuntu Linux or Raspbian takes care of setting up and configuring everything

  • enables reliable operation by Asante, Farallon and Dayna bridges on both IIe and IIgs [fixes contributed by Steven Hirsch and Geoff Body]

  • easy to configure for network boot, including ProDOS 8 and GS/OS download and installation

  • can network boot both IIe and IIgs computers on the same network

  • new ProDOS 8 tools (NETBOOT.P8 and NETBOOT.GSOS) for setting the IIg network boot default

  • temporary ProDOS 8 network boot without changing GS/OS default [contributed by Geoff Body]

  • GS/OS installer that can be run from folders rather than disk

  • installs ProDOS 8 and GS/OS utilities for working with archive (ShrinkIt and GSHK), disk images (DSK2FILE / Asimov / MountIt), and file (Apple ProDOS System Utilities)

  • supports Wi-Fi when used with Apple AirPort or Time Capsul

  • maintains correct dates during GS/OS folder copy [fix contributed by Steven Hirsch]

  • uses randnum authentication for registered user sign-in (which alway works, unlike cleartext)

  • supports login to shared volumes from latest versions of OS X and Window

  • new Linux tool (afptype) for setting ProDOS or classic Mac file types on shared volume

  • new Linux tool (cppo) for cataloging and copying files (with optional resource forks) out of ProDOS disk image

  • Linux commands to ease server maintenanc

  • installs Linux tools for working with ShrinkIt and other old and new archive formats (nulib2 and unar/lsar)

  • blinks Raspberry Pi OK/ACT LED for ten seconds when netatalk has just started

  • good documentation (or so I hope)
