Is there a definitive answer to “what is the latest model Mac that can run Apple Internet Router 3?” for connecting to #globaltalk ?

What are the given dependencies that we know about? MacTCP vs Open Transport, what Max. OS version, 68K vs PPC.

Now that #MARCHintosh is over I want to do some experimenting. This also coincides with my new resolution to not use emulation for anything. Really hardware and back in the day software.

GlobalTalk admins using non-standard Ethernet interfaces in System 7.1...

Can you please PM a screenshot of your Network and MacTCP settings (first screen only for MacTCP, examples attached) – 1 bit B/W preferred.

I'm wanting to make my AIR manual addendum, and GlobalTalk setup instructions and files more generic.

I'd also be interested in which Ethernet drivers were necessary to get your interface to work with AIR under System 7.1.

Lastly, I'm interested in having a chat with users of Snow, mini vMac, Basilisk II, and other non-QEMU emulators about GlobalTalk connection requirements and setup in System 7.1.

I will credit contributions, of course!

Thank you, and boosts appreciated!

I built my own dial-up ISP, then connected to it over WiFi, using Apple's first AirPort base station, from the original iBook G3.

Here's the classic Mac port of Nethack 3.7 I've been working on.

There are still some bugs remaining and some clean up to be done, but I wanted to put this out there for you to play.

It should run on Macs running System 7+ with at least 5 MB of free RAM and a 68020 processor.
