Paul's Macintosh IIci Paul's Macintosh IIci Welcome to my NetBSD-powered Macintosh IIci webserver! This page is served from my souped-up Apple Macintosh IIci (littledork) running NetBSD and Apache. I bought the machine a few years ago from eBay, and I wasn't doing much with it. I decided to set up a web server. I originally tried MacHTTP under Mac OS but it was pretty crumby, so I installed NetBSD. I upgraded the machine to 128MB of RAM, added a cache card, and a 1GB SCSI hard drive. It took a long time and was fairly complicated to install NetBSD, but finally I got it working, installed Apache, and hooked it up to the vast tubes of the interweb for your enjoyment. You can see the dmesg below. I'll put some more content on this machine in the future sometime. Sign the guestbook Update 2/9/08 Sorry about the downtime. NetBSD didn't like the Digg effect this time and paniced. Thanks for looking. Update 2/10/08 The documentation I used to set up NetBSD/mac68k on this machine is located at http://www.netbsd.org/ports/mac68k/. I remember that it took about a full day to install everything, most of the time was spent waiting for the sets to extract and install. This was several years ago though so I don't remember the exact steps. I am planning on doing another IIci with a larger disk as soon as I can find one that is in good physical condition like this one. The server is holding up just fine right now, there is steady traffic of about half a megabit per second. Some have correctly pointed out that there isn't a lot of data being served so that is why it is not overloading the server. As far as serving dynamic content and things like that, that would tax the server a lot. The CPU is only 25 MHz so anything other than really basic functions run slowly. It takes about 45-60 seconds just to SSH into the machine. Compiling new software is also very slow, it probably took 12 hours to compile Apache. Anyway I hope this inspires people to dig out their old hardware and see what can be done with it nowadays. I think it is a very interesting thing to try to leverage our modern technology to fully explore the capabilities of old hardware. My Playstation 2 web server is somewhat related I suppose. You can also e-mail me at suranyi@wgn.net. Good day to you. Links to somewhere else: Too Cool For School Has Skills, Pays Bills Is A Pimp How Are You Gentlemen !!
