Programming with AppleTalk by Michael Peirce, Addison-Wesley, 1991, ISBN 0-201-57780-1, Library of Congress 91-4321, in the Macintosh Inside Out series. The scan is 278 pages.
This is not an Apple publication. It is a third-party book, and it is a secondary source: where it disagrees with Apple's own service documentation, the Apple document wins.
This book was held under two page titles, the other being Programming With AppleTalk 1991 (capital "With"), filed under Category:Apple Programming Documentation. That title is now a redirect here, since the printed title uses a lower-case "with". Both were the same edition, the same ISBN and the same page count; only the scans differ, and both are linked below.
What it covers
[edit | edit source]Writing Macintosh programs that use AppleTalk, in MPW Pascal 3.1 (the examples also build under THINK Pascal). It concentrates on the protocols an application actually uses — finding network entities and moving data — rather than the full protocol stack.
What it does not contain
[edit | edit source]- This is not a repair source. No specifications, no procedures, no part numbers, no component
data, no cable pinouts and no electrical figures.
- For the physical AppleTalk network — bus termination, noisy nodes, impedance, dangling
cables, circular networks and the 300-metre cable limit — use Apple's own Service Support Tranning Programs Laserwriter Technical Procedures Jan 1985 (the Macintosh Office section) or Troubleshooting Your Macintosh 1992 chapter 11.
Pages that cite this document
[edit | edit source]- Apple Desktop Bus — for the distinction between ADB and AppleTalk

The second scan
[edit | edit source]The same book is held here twice, as two independent scans of the same edition. The second file is Programming_With_AppleTalk_1991.pdf (19.5 MB), uploaded under the mis-spelt page title that now redirects here. Neither scan is a different edition; use whichever downloads faster.
