![]() For my purposes, I have a Mac running 10.6 that I use both for ~2009-11 era Production(TM) software but also for translating files to and from formats compatible with and suitable for vintage Macs. We're basically at the point where people who have a fairly wide interest range will likely need to consider having more than one bridge Macs. I use mostly stuffit 5 on my OS 9 machines and, again, I have an OS X machine to bridge the gap between the modern internet and OS 9, so OS 9 can bridge the gap between my ~2005-09 Macs and my 1990-95 ones. I do have an OS X system with Classic Mode available so I can re-image DMGs as DC6 files should one that was made inappropriately show up. I don't bother with the disk copy 6.5 beta because mounting DMGs on Mac OS 9 isn't valuable to me, I have OS X Macs for that. I also have another ISO/image mounter utility. In terms of other software: What's been listed here covers it. Linux, however, does.Īdd to all that, there's a "right" and a "wrong" way to use ASIP and if you're gonna use it the "wrong" way you may as well just use the built-in file service on the client version of 7/8/9.ĪSIP6 isn't bad, it's just probably not worth the overhead. The only downside to 10.4 is that it doesn't retain AppleShare-over-AppleTalk. There's more moving parts, so backups and file moves are more annoying to manage, and it doesn't do anywhere near as much as it could to make those things better for you.įor System 7.1 and newer on '020s and newer, 10.4 is even significantly better at those things than OS 9. Unless you need over ten concurrent connections or private file storage areas for individual named areas, it doesn't do anything better than the personal file sharing built into mac os 9 or even early versions of OS X. So, just by way of opinions: I actually run a public ASIP6 server and I heartily recommend against the idea of running AppleShare IP unless your goal is explicitly to experience what it would've been like being a workgroup or education sysadmin in 1998.
