Title: Share across my local network via AFP
Post by: reyesryder on October 11, 2021, 08:38:54 PM

Hi everyone,

I've got a Drobo connected by FireWire 800 to a 2009 Mac mini running Mojave. I'd like to share that across my local network via AFP.

I've also got a Mac mini G4 running OS 9.2.2. I'd like to run a server on this machine and point it to a set of folders on that Drobo.

I keep getting errors that the AFP versions aren't compatible.

Is there an option that might let me do what I want without introducing another computer to the network just for file serving?

Thanks in advance!!!

A Leopard (10.5) virtual machine would be able to go back and forth between the two but that wouldn't exactly fit the criteria of not having another machine on the network...
