To Mac or not to Mac?What ho, pre-pressers! Long time no post, or view, come to that. No
doubt some of you will remember me as I see that many of same crowd are
**STILL** here after all these years. Grettings to Aandi, Ted, Lee,
Allen...well, to you all, not forgetting Mr Shagnasty, who I am
gratified can still find something to say after all this time.
Right, greetings over, down to brass tacks. My early retirement plan has
sadly fallen through and I find myself back at the coal face possessed
of some pretty antideluvian equipment with which to earn a crust for the
Tree family. So I'm looking for **SE...
Mac to macI just remembered these groups and wondered if someone here could tell
me whether what I'd like to do is possible. (NO ONE around here knows
anything about Macs)
I have a G4 that was the top of the line in 1998. It will die one of
these days. It's currently running OS 9.2.2. Someone else(who now lives
far away) installed the internal modem, SCSI for my scanner, and my
floppy drive (so I didn't have to go through hundreds of them for the
bits and pieces I might someday want again). I still have the floppies
and a number of Zips, all of which this computer can read.

When is a Mac not a Mac?This was posted in a forum recently and I thought it brought up some
very interesting points relating to the Eula. For reference:
http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=105546
------
This question is related to licensing OS X on a machine. The EULA says
it has to be an Apple computer, before the Apple License will apply,
which means Apple will only support OS X on Apple machines. So, I'm
wondering, when is a machine considered an Apple Mac, for the purposes
of Licensing and recieving support? Say I buy a Mac from Apple. Then the
hard drive fails, and I replace that with an ...
Help! iSync mac to macAm I right in saying that with iSync, if you want to sync 2 macs
together (address book, iCal etc.) the only way to do this is via a
..Mac account, even if those computers are sitting not 5 feet from each
other, both Airport equipped? If this is the case, I've never heard
anything so ridiculous. Is this just part of another apple scam to get
more money out of us?
Does anyone know if this is indeed the case, and can you recommend any
other sync software out there?

It's a Mac, Mac, Mac WorldI wonder how the Windows users would like my (ab)normal Microsoft-free
world:
My business: all Mac, no PCs. My dentist, family physician and
urologist are all Mac. No PCs.
Went to Sir Speedy today for more bus. cards and some binding: all Mac
(no surprise there).
My daughter's three new college room mates have emailed her. Two have
PowerBooks and one has an eMac. (She has a G5 iMac.)
I never even see a PC unless I am at the public library or a store using
a Windows POS unit.
It never was intentional. I don't scout a place to see what frickin'
computer they use. Jus...
bmp-mac, mac and xmms-mac portsHello,
I can't find these in the ports collections, so i've downloaded and compiled
mac and xmms-mac successfully and have confirmed that they work on FreeBSD.
I was looking for an APE (Monkey Audio) plug-in for XMMS in the ports
collection but wasn't able to find one.
I had a bit of trouble with compiling xmms-mac to start off with.
The compilation would fail with the following:
g++ -I/usr/X11R6/include -I/usr/X11R6/include/xmms -I/usr/local/include/gtk12 -I/usr/local/include/glib12 -I/usr/local/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -s -O3 -Wall -pedantic -DBUILD_CROSS_PLATFOR...
mac to mac connectionHi,
PBG3 400 OS 10.3
I connect a crossover cable between my PB, and other macs running OS9,
and can not mount see the other mac on my PB. Have followed the Help,
but must be doing something wrong somewhere. I can however see/connect
to my PB from the peripheral mac via the Chooser.
I have not been able to connect to windoze machines either, but maybe
that will rsolve if I can get mac to mac sharing happening.
Can someone suggest what I may be overlooking or a relevant site... ?
thanks indeed

Put an ethernet cable between them, enable tcp/ip and file sharing on
one and log on from the other, seems to be what you are asking for? And
you do not need a cross-over cable between modern Macs.

Mac to MAc FirewireHey all
Looking for some help.
I am trying to use a 6-6pin 1394 cable to connect two iBooks together and
transfer some large files.
iBook 1 dual USB 'white' iBook OS 9.2
iBook 2 G4 OSx 10.2
I boot iBook 1 into 'target drive' mode and get the firewire icon dancing
about the screen then connect it to iBook 2
but the drive does not appear on the desktop. I have tried all combinations
of rebooting/ connecting before and after rebooting
but nothing seams to work.
When the firewire is plugged in the target disk makes a short noise then
nothing the host does not appear to react at ...
When is a Mac no longer a Mac? OK, so Apple's going to go to Intel CPUs. Now Macs are no longer
differentiated by a slow clock and superior instruction set--we've got
the same hackjob clusterfuck on speed PCs have been using for decades
now. And over the last few years Apple's gone away from SCSI, NuBus,
ADB, Localtalk, etc. And PCs have picked up USB, dropped floppies, and
colored their cases. The hardware's basically merging between the two
platforms.
On the software side, the classic MacOS is gone, replaced by Unixy
stuff. And like it or not, higher up on the UI level lots of
Windows-li...
MAC to MAC connectivityHi,
As part of a design that I'm investigating, I am looking at connecting
a number of FPGA based MACs to a dedicated broadcom switch chip. The
difficulty with this is that to interface both chips, I need to have
two closely coupled and redundant PHY .
Is it possible to connect two MAC (SGMII) directly point-to-point,
bypassing the PHY completely? Or is it necessary to have at least some
PHY functionality, even if it is a point to point link?
Kind regards,
Stephen

Mac-to-Mac VPN?Years ago, I set up a Mac network (under OS9) with a VPN router and some
software on a remote PowerBook that allowed VPN access. I'm not terribly
familiar with OSX yet, but I understand that much of this functionality
is now built in. Can anybody steer me in the right direction as far as
hardware, software and configuration? Here's the setup I envision:
- Small LAN running two Macs and a printer with a DSL
connection through a router.
- Remote PowerBook connected to the net varyingly with
dial-up, DSL (wired), and AirPort.
- Use the PowerBook to securely connect to at l...
Mac Miail on .macI have my own domain name. Is there a way to get msil under .mac to set this
as the reply to address. It seems that I am forced to use the @mac address
but I could well be missing something.
Thanks

MAC to MAC over InternetHi All,
First I will tell you that I am not a MAC user or owner so please be
patient :)
I have a friend who runs a small business and they have two MAC
computers in the office that are networked together and share files.
The main MAC has approx 20,000 files that they share and update.
One of the people will be moving away and they want to be able to
connect over the Internet to the main MAC and share the files just
like they do in the office today. They need to be able to have the
master files on the main MAC in the office and allow the other person
to easily access and update the master ...
