Published a post on using #GlobalTalk with a Macintosh 512Ke through a combination of RaspberryPis, TashTalk and jrouter.

#MARCHintosh stretch goal reached yesterday and I can now share files between my Mac 512Ke over LocalTalk to a RaspberryPi running netatalk and mounting the same file share on my Macbook Pro.

#MARCHintosh goal for this year is complete. My 512Ke is now joining #globaltalk via LocalTalk (PhoneNET + TashTalk + jrouter) and can mount file shares.

I have everything documented and going to write a blog post about the setup and configuration since there's a lot of moving pieces.

Macintosh 512Ke is up and running with a System 6.0.8, FloppyEMU, PicoPSU, TashTalk, RGB2HDMI, PS2 keyboard adapter and original M0100 mouse.

Just how Apple intended.

This is the heart of my #MARCHintosh setup for #globaltalk.

RaspberryPi 5 4GiB running System 7 in a QEMU VM and jrouter for the Vermilion Sands AppleTalk zone.

The TashTalk 2 HAT is connected to Farallon PhoneNET adapters with the hope of bringing my Macintosh 512Ke onto the network.

Drop a couple of pictures of how you'd like for people to think that you are doing versus reality.

Happy #MARCHintosh day 2, it's probably time I read this so I learn how to use my 512Ke properly.

Wrote about how I enhanced my Macintosh 512Ke with USB4VC, BlueSCSI, PicoRC, RGB2HDMI, FloppyEMU and Basilisk II to do modern Internet things like browse Gopher.

anyone know why my Macintosh 512Ke CRT has this vertical line? It only appears on the desktop crosshatch, not when a window or other gradients are displayed.

Dug out the DevTerm to update it and print some hard copy.
