## A2SERVER
|
||
|
||
A2SERVER's central capability, sharing files to an Apple II, is provided by
|
||
[Netatalk][1] 2.2.4.
|
||
|
||
Here's the extra sauce that A2SERVER provides:
|
||
|
||
* available as a ready-to-use [Raspberry Pi][2] operating system installer
|
||
|
||
(plus new [Pi Filler][3] and [Pi Copier][3] utilities for easy SD card
|
||
creation and backup)
|
||
|
||
* available as a ready-to-use [VirtualBox][4] 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][5] / [Asimov][6] / [MountIt][7]), 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](scripts/tools/afptype.txt)) for setting ProDOS or
|
||
classic Mac file types on shared volume
|
||
|
||
* new Linux tool ([cppo](scripts/tools/cppo.txt)) for cataloging and copying
|
||
files (with optional resource forks) out of ProDOS disk image
|
||
|
||
* [Linux commands](a2server_commands.md) to ease server maintenanc
|
||
|
||
* installs Linux tools for working with ShrinkIt and other old and new archive
|
||
formats ([nulib2][8] and [unar/lsar][9])
|
||
|
||
<!--
|
||
* sets up Raspberry Pi for shell login from Apple II via USB-serial cable or
|
||
Raspberry Pi console cable
|
||
-->
|
||
|
||
* blinks Raspberry Pi OK/ACT LED for ten seconds when netatalk has just
|
||
started
|
||
|
||
* good documentation (or so I hope)
