I am new to this list so I hope I'm not bringing up a common topic... I
couldn't find any FAQ's addressing these 2 questions:
1) Has anyone been successful in getting Netatalk to work? When I read
the description "netatalk is an implementation of the AppleTalk Protocol
Suite for BSD-derived Unix systems", I thought that it might work with
NetBSD... Has anyone tried it out?
If Netatalk doesn't work, what about CAP? I saw one message on the list
regarding CAP. Does it compile "out of the box"? Is there anyway to
attach a localtalk printer? or do you need to attach via serial cable?
2) How much of a speed difference is there between running NetBSD on a Mac
II and a Mac IIx? I am contemplating the cost of a PMMU vs. a new
motherboard...
Thanks
Todd
