I just finished putting a Daystar 50MHz accelerator in my Mac IIci. Finally enough speed to get work done (I'm spoiled). I still can't find drivers for my Radius Thunder GT, but it works without them, just slowly, and only 832x634 resolution (the card is supposed to do better than that). I should soon be free enough to do the Mac->Netatalk->CUPS test over the weekend. My current problem is that I've not set up a UNIX machine to serve Appletalk in years. I got a NetBSD 1.6 system running with Appletalk in the kernel, and just installed the Netatalk package. Currently I'm lost in the configuration details. I really wish someone would make a CUPS driver for the 68k Macs. Aren't there any MacOS programmers here? :) -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
