It's been a long time since my last post in this thread.
Yesterday and today I managed to find some free time to tinker with my ethernet podule.
Getting it to work was simpler than I thought, but I cannot say it was plug and play either...
I now use Uniboot2 instead of Uniboot31 due to the fact I couldn't get the podule to work with the last one.
After setting the Inetsetup app, I also had to change some parameters in the Startup file.

Omniclient and FTPc are already installed in the Archie and I now have to figure how to connect to my Mac (but cleaning my desktop of its dust is more urgent). :oops:
They aren't the easiest when it comes to TCP/IP. For file transfer I found Sunfish/Moonfish worked well for NFS shares. Looking good.

Don't those 2 need an external library in order to get them run ?
I've also heard they are memory hungry, and my 4 MB are easily full...

I can't remember which one is a memory hog, but yes, one is. Trouble is, getting anything else but those working on my A5000 just didn't happen.

And do you exchange your files between your Mac or a Windows PC ?

I couldn't get it to work with my Mac, which is an M1 MBP, but I was able to make it work with both Windows and Linux.

Ah bummer...
I hope I have more luck with my Intel Mac.

My workbench PC is a 2012 Intel MBP with boot camp, so I might try that, but I do recall having issues using Win 10, but on my 2016 server it was all fine, same for a Linux laptop I built.
I could never get SMB or FTP working at all.

No. What's worse is I think I have another issue as booting today it's just crashing and all my customisations are gone, and no sign of my BlueSCSI :(
More for the project list, wondering if it's the CMOS as I recently replaced the battery and when it did boot the clock was way off.
Also if I leave it I get random beeping and on screen corruption. Could be bad RAM I suppose.
EDIT - Think I have a BlueSCSI image issue, need to replace with a backup. Maybe swap SD as well.

Hate that kind of situation...
Everything works smoothly and then suddenly you encounter issues you never had before.
Hope for you it's just the Blue SCSI image.
