- Though not technically a Macintosh, I talk about Apple’s first network server product. A detailed tour of the machine itself, as well as a look at the backstory, the rise, the fall and the legacy… or lack thereof. Also, the story of how this video came to be, beginning with a visit to Syd Bolton's Personal Computer Museum.

There are some great honours one can receive in life: receiving a Nobel prize, earning a Medal of Honor, or having 65scribe give a tour of one's machine.
Very happy to loan it out and contribute a small part to the preservation of Apple history!
Thanks, to you both, for letting us enjoy this!
I have 1 of these in my basement (thrown out by a former employer) in perfect working condition with AIX manuals and some software from IBM. Too bad that museum in the video is no longer in business or I would donate it. Any ideas on what non-profit might want one or any individual interested in purchasing it? Great video!!! Thanks
@@ed12345de I'd absolutely give my left one to get an ANS. Sadly, I suspect it'd nearly impossible to ship to Australia without completely destroying it by our post system.
Super cool machine I never even knew about.
Thanks! I really enjoyed that.

@@JaredConnellNow it’s Mach microkernels all the way down (from servers to watches)
@@JaredConnell
Okay but to be fair, the classic Mac OS was definitely not built to last as long as it did.
I love the whole aesthetic of these videos. The 4:3 interlaced video, the period correct text and graphics, and even the lighting is all on point. It's almost artwork dude.
Thanks for noticing all those details! I appreciate you sharing your impression.
It's not "almost" art. It *IS* art.
@@65scribe honestly best aesthetic ever, even the voiceover is unique what mic do you use
Thanks Georg. Nothing special with the sound. It’s as basic as the video. At that time I was using an analog lavalier mic connected to my camcorder and making a separate video track just for audio. I recently got a Rode USB mic, which is more efficient. So while the sound may be unique, it’s not achieved by doing anything clever.
@@65scribe on the contrary i miss the lav into camcorder sound
Unreal Tournament soundtrack detected. Nostalgia engaged.
This is one of my favorite game soundtrack tunes ever - LOVE it
Unreal Tournament. After more then 20 years still a great game with good music. Still playing it
Agree!
God bless you, 65scribe, for bringing us this video in our time of isolation and great need. :D
Thank you, Cass. Good to hear from all the stalwart viewers of this channel :)
Syd seems like he was an incredible person.
Yes, and it doesn't seem like he's been remembered as much as he deserved, so it was a good opportunity to do something about him in this video.
65scribe Your videos really are fantastic. My Mom passed away in January and watching them really helped me stay distracted when I couldn't stop thinking about it. Thank you for sharing your research and humor with us.
Sorry to hear about your Mom. I also count on other shows, movies or videos to give me an escape during stressful times. I didn't imagine that my videos would provide that, but very glad to hear that they do.
Yes he was a great guy. I used to volinteer at the museum. I had the honor of fixing some of the machines he had on display including the lisa. I really miss that place!
He used to talk to a lot of people around the world looking for obscure software and docs. I was really surprised to hear him mentioned. Great guy! Vale!
Rest in peace, Syd.
Thoroughly enjoy your mini-documentaries on these machines, the laid back style with little extra jokes and bits of info is genuinely fantastic.
That's a particularly amazing one for you to have (temporarily!) got your hands on.
Thanks very much! Great to hear feedback on what viewers like about the videos. And yes, getting the ANS for the video was very lucky. I had to tell the story of how I got it since it was as interesting as the machine itself.
I love the “old” aesthetic that your videos have. It doesn’t feel forced or artificial. It feels like I’m watching a video sourced from an old vhs
Thanks! Good to hear an up-vote on the style.
You're still one of the few channel I actually hit the bell notification.
I'm honoured! Thanks :)
You have a very unique way of creating these videos, to be honest, better than LGR, AVGN, and other loud youtubers out there who don't understand the combination of humor, nostalgia and silence, great work of art you create every time. Keep it up please! by the way the Unreal Tournament music was the cherry on top.
A I - Sorry for missing your comment! I try to answer all comments, but I still seem to miss some. I really appreciate your review of this channel. That's great to hear. I'm just finishing the editing on the next video, so it should be up ... maybe the end of the month (?). I hope you give it a watch.
Thank you for gracing us with your presence
You're welcome :)
Oh baby, a new episode!
Right?!
Can't wait for the next Macintosh video, your channel really gives off an 80's and 90's Apple Time Capsule kind of feeling. I love learning about these machines, and your videos blend historic facts with a slight amount of comedy. Thank you for providing this website with great videos, and I look forward to what's in the future.
I think it's style does a great job of showing how apple was always just a tiny bit off the mark.
Thanks! Appreciate your feedback.
I'm glad that comes across in the videos. Thanks!
@@65scribe If you are like me, you have probably always loved macs, but think about how they could have been amazing if it wasn't for just a few small but often near deal breaking faults. It's like they have the vision, but not enough to overcome the bottom line. This really is shown well in the video's.
@@65scribe Anytime. Now that we have nothing to do but stay home, I can rewatch all of your older videos. I just recently got interested in old Apple products in general, and your channel is a great source for learning about these vintage machines.
This was an absolutely wonderful video - so sad about Syd. I was an Apple Reseller in Toronto during the early to late '90s and never came across a Network Server. Truth be told, I would never sell one, steering my clients to NT servers from Compaq or IBM for various reasons. I truly enjoyed your tour and as always, the humour and curiosity you show in all your videos. Thank you thank you thank you. - Stephen
You are welcome, Stephen. Thanks for commenting and sharing your first-hand perspective. I guess anyone buying the machine during that time should have known they were taking a risk. Good for you steering them clear at the time. Engineering designed something really nice, then management totally bungled it. I'm glad to hear you liked the video.
I absolutely love your sense of humor. Please, never change.
Thanks very much, Marcio!
Unreal Tournament soundtrack for the full nostalgia enjoyment! Great video as always.
Thanks! The UT music was fun to work with.
Thank you so much for making more content
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Love these videos; the 4:3 aspect, old camera quality and slow-paced presentation all create a nice, nostalgic atmosphere. Cheers from Brazil!
Thank you, Noliam! I appreciate you sharing your impression of the videos, and Cheers from Canada!
Even when I've had a bad day, worked on Easter while my family is celebrating it and come home to an empty house it was all okay because I can unwind to a new 65scribe video. :)
Thanks. It's good to hear a video can brighten people's days.
You and Action Retro are without a shadow of a doubt, my favourite TH-camrs. I have actually started rewatching some of your videos, such as the Power Mac 4400. I noticed you haven’t made in a new video in a while and was hoping you had plans to do so soon? Best wishes and thanks for the amazing videos.
Thanks S P! That's amazing to hear that I'm one of your favourites. I've had a few things get in the way of getting the next video out, but I'm happy to say that it is almost done and I'm working on a couple others in the background. I hope this one is worth a rewatch too. Anyway, back to it.
:)
Great video. I worked for Apple UK in desktop support during this fateful period. One of my tasks was to build and implement an ANS700 for Apple UK File and Print service. Ours was fully loaded of course, with all the HD slots populated (including the 2 x rear bays) and a DAT drive. I recall very clearly building a multi 9TB drive RAID array and accidentally pressing the reset button about 5 hours into the initialisation process :(. The UK headquarters had a glass fronted server room, and our ANS was proudly on full display.
The story ends with me leaving Apple around the time these wonderful machines were discontinued, and then a year or so later, having the amazing opportunity to take 2 home with me for nothing (including the aforementioned fully loaded machine)... as they were no longer supported, they couldn't be run in Production anymore. I ran them at home for a few years on YellowDog Linux before selling them on eBay in around 2003 or 4.
Wow! Thanks for sharing your first-hand experiences with the ANS! I'm guessing it was actually a 9GB drive array, but still very impressive, considering the cost of those drives. Great to read your post.
@@65scribe Yes, sorry... it was a RAID 5 array of several 9GB drives. I remember a presentation Gil Amelio gave Apple staff and resellers back in those days stating that all the content on the entire World Wide Web could be stored on a 9GB drive when compressed. Ha! I have no idea how factually accurate that was, but it was certainly a claim. I also remember those 9GB drives were BIG, 3 or 4cm thick.
@@65scribe Another story regarding Shiner. I used to remotely administer the ANS using X-Terminal software from our office next to the server room. I remember one day the network manager running around frantically trying to figure out what was causing so much network load. He traced it back to my X-term, which I had inadvertently left running with an animated screensaver running full screen :) The days of 10Mb coaxial networks, still running at Apple HQ even in the late 90s!
@@kuyamoto9195 Fascinating stuff, Mark! Thanks for sharing these great stories.
Your tempo, voice and insights bring me at peace in these troubled times. Have been a fanboy since 1990? (got here when I saw your LC episode ) and am now watching ALL your videos hehe :) Thanks for making them!
Thanks for leaving a comment Daan! It good to hear these videos help in that way. The LC was the first mac I got as a collectable, as opposed to buying a computer to do work. I hope you enjoy the rest of the videos!
@@65scribe Saw them all !! Love it!
I wasn’t expecting this treat. Time to not go to bed!!
This finally brightens 2020 up a bit
:)
The Legendary ANS. _thank you_ for this video!!
You're welcome! I hope you enjoyed it.
I don't know how I stumbled on your channel, but I Love the dry humor!
I'm sorry I missed your comment, but thank you!
Thank you for this, and all your other videos. Nostalgia is a hell of a drug, and for a guy in his mid-40s, this tugs on all the right heartstrings.
Hey, thanks for the feedback. That's great to hear!
I’ve never ever seen an analysis of a Apple server machine. Also, what about interconnecting amigas, ataris and macs?
Seeing this video again makes me wonder if he’s making another video at the moment... Such great videos!
Unreal Tournament!!!
I love your videos so much!!! Thank you for posting videos about the odd and obscure and mostly forgotten Apple products. I love this stuff and you have all the best videos!
Thanks very much! I never know how each video will be received by the viewers, so the feedback is great to hear.
Some people may think that since his voice his deep he isn’t very motivated, but really he puts out the best mac videos on TH-cam
Hi! TH-cam suggested me this video and I decided to click on it because I had never heard of this Apple product. Very good video! I enjoyed a lot your voice, smooth, slow, and overall a chill voice. The video itself was very good at explaining the device and the history about Apple in the 90s. Also, this video felt like it wasn't for 2020 for the most part, maybe for the 2000s or I don't know, it gave the video a cosy feel. You just got a new subscriber and I will go watch your other videos!
That's great to hear! I've never thought my voice work was very good, so I'm surprised to get good feedback on that. Thanks for sharing your impression of the video, subscribing, and I hope you enjoy the other videos in the series!
It was pure comedy. You are the best man. Keep it up for more vintage Apple products!
Thanks Andres! Good to hear that!
It was so unfortunate to hear about Sid. I remember chatting with him about the Unisys Icon that was at the museum and that it had difficulty starting up from the file server.
Any kid growing up in an elementary school in Ontario in the 1980s remembers the Icon!
Very cool to hear from viewers who met Syd. I was in elementary school too early, so I only got to use the one Commodore PET that the Ministry of Education supplied to our school.
Your videos are all awesome. Love 'em!
That’s great to hear! Thanks!
Couple years back my now wife/then gf took me out to brantford to see Syds museum and his amazing collection first hand. To those of us who cherish vintage computers his museum was a truly wonderful thing. Every computer I had dreamed of just getting to see he had and not just collecting dust on a shelf; they were out on display with hands on exploration ENCOURAGED. It was a truly wonderful experience, and almost overwhelming. When he learned it was my birthday and I liked chiptunes he gave me a CD of chiptunes that I cherish and listen to even today. Around his museum was a community of computer nerds the likes of which I had never seen. I met many amazing people at the museum that day but Syd stood out. He had built something wonderful. Its sad how quickly things can dissapear. If you find a place like the Brantford Computer Museum in your town CHERISH it. RIP Syd.
Beautifully said. Thanks for sharing your experience with Syd and his museum.
My favourite channel on TH-cam, thank you for the content!
That's amazing, Daniel! I would not have thought these videos would reach that status with anyone. Great to hear that.
This is by far the best documentary I ever seen about an old retro computer
Thanks very much! I hope you take the time to watch some of the others in the series.
Fascinating video! Beautiful to see a shout out to Syd and the PC Museum in Brantford. I was a long time volunteer at the Museum and Syd and the Museum will always have a special place in my heart.
Wow! Very cool to hear from one of the volunteers from Syd's Museum. Thanks for commenting!
My god man... the amount of self-referential humor in your videos is breathtaking... there are very few TH-cam channels that I will jump on new content immediately, yours is on the short list. That 'quack' with the 'I... I dunno' with the Shiner Bock slide-in... pure excellence.
Hey, thanks very much! I appreciate the feedback. It's easy to lose perspective when making these videos, to the point where I'm not sure if it's going to be a hit or a dud. This is good to hear.
@@65scribe The nostalgia hit on that 'unintended' segue into the 7300/200 with Razorback was spot on... I had the potato cousin of that, the 7200/75 (at least it wasn't a janky 4400)... but then Razorback again moving xclock around... 🤣
Looking forward to that 7300 video though... having a 7200 was like owning an Escort with Mustang posters hanging all over your bedroom.
I've watched all your retro computer videos and I can say that all of them are actually underrated jems, you deserve much more subscribers and views. The tone, subtle humor and ammount of details shown in those videos is beyond just a simple machine showcase and I particularly like that. Continue making those videos! Subscribed.
Thanks for watching all the videos and for letting me know what you liked about the videos. I appreciate the feedback! And thanks for subscribing! More videos to come...
Forgone destruction is the cherry on top of this video
Glad you liked that
So happy to see another video! I like the unreal sound track too, i played that on my mac quite a bit back in the day.
Yes, I really enjoyed being able to use some Unreal music in this video.
thx as an apple fan since I started using it back in 1995, I never been into server stuff. I saw people in companies using the black mac as a server and later on the Imac in 98. So I'm discovering things here for the pleasure!
Glad you enjoyed the video. I didn't know anything about Servers either, but could not pass-up on the opportunity to make a video about this monster product.
I have one of these in my personal collection. Real interesting machine, and probably my favorite Apple computer (besides the IIGS). I was going to take it to the 2019 VCFMW, but it stopped powering on 3 days before the event :/
Great that you have one of these machines. I hope you get it working again!
A recap of the CPU board sorted mine! I'm going over it just now after it's been stored for 20 years.
@@AK-nb6hz I'll have to give that a try, thought I may need a bigger workbench for the size of that mainboard!
You have no idea how much I worry about villains breaking into my server...
Been watching a lot more TH-cam these days with all the WFH and staying indoors. There have been a lot of videos I've seen with clickbait-y titles or obnoxious thumbnails to pass my time. Finding your content has been such a relief from the sensory overload TH-cam has been recommending me. Love your content!
That's great to hear. This channel took a massive and unexpected up-tick when I released this video, I think because people had the time to give them a shot. I'd be perfectly happy going back to the way things were, but things being as they are, I'm glad people are finding entertainment in them. Thanks for giving your impression of the videos versus other content and thanks for watching!
We are honoured by your presence sir! Thank you & hope yourself and the relatives are safe!
PS: Like the inclusion of the Liandri music from UT'99 - & Facing Worlds!
Thanks very much! We're staying healthy so far, and hoping the same to you. Glad you liked the Facing Worlds music. There's so little music that Google lets people use, it was a treat to be able to use this song.
If was great seeing the DEC computer room, I’m a retired Dec field service engineer maintaining VAXen of all flavors running UNIX. Seems Apple and Dec were doing the same thing at this time. Great video, interesting and well presented. I watched this on my 27’ iMac 2011, running High Sierra with an SSD and a full RAM bay. I have a small collection. Thanks
Wow, great to get feedback from someone who worked in the field at that time! Very interesting! Seems you’re watching these videos on a different Mac each time.
Thanks!
How this channel has so few subscribers is beyond me.. Keep up the good work
Thanks Allan! I agree ;)
@@65scribe ;-)
Thanks 65scribe. You are the king of all retro tech youtubers.
Wow, thanks very much Matthew! Glad you enjoy the videos.
Nice trip back through history. That open firmware screen reminds me of how some Sun workstations booted. Some of them had a similar open firmware interface.
That's interesting, Tim. Thanks!
I love your videos. There’s a low-budget quality to them but that’s actually part of their appeal. And of course the content is a walk down memory lane. Keep up the great work!
Thanks very much for the feedback! It's great to know specifically what viewers like about the videos, so I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
I LOVE this channel! Voice off camera: 'Take that thing back downstairs!' Priceless.
Thanks very much! Good to hear that!
65scribe I really appreciate your historical insight into these machines. Very informative and always entertaining
This is exactly what I didn't know I needed this morning but very much did. Thank you!
Good to hear that.. You're welcome.
Pretty sure I’ve watched all your Macintosh videos at least 3 times now. They’re that entertaining. Hoping you’ll do one on the G5 tower at some point, or the Titanium PowerBook if you’re into portables at all.
Thanks! Glad to hear you enjoyed them that much. I can say that I touch on the G5 tower in the upcoming video. And I did get a G4 Titanium recently, but no plan for a video yet. Good suggestions though!
What a stunning, interesting machine. And a very sad personal story, too. RIP Syd: a man who achieved what I can only currently dream of doing.
Well said regarding Syd! Thank you.
I love these videos and given that this new one came out on my birthday, I'm going to interpret that as an intentional birthday present.
Happy Birthday, Matt! I won't argue your interpretation :)
Great video as always you are the main inspiration behind me starting a vintage apple collection
Thanks very much! Great to hear the videos inspired your own collection. Best of luck going forward!
These videos are still so addicting. Thank you for another intriguing video!
I'm glad you are addicted :) Thank you!
Well presented and photographed with a great sense of humor to keep the viewer engaged. I love finding a channel with a ton of older content to now binge through. Thanks so much :)
Thanks very much for finding this channel and for the critique. That's great to hear!
Hi. I used to be an Apple tech during these times and so your videos are very nostalgic and very entertaining.
I still run my own Mac business here in Canberra.
But, back in the day we used to run software called (I think) Transporter. We used it to image a bunch of Macs all networked with phonenet from a single master image. It was awesome but I cannot find any reference to it anywhere anymore.
Hi Renny. I hope things are going well in Canberra! Good to hear the videos resonate with an Apple expert from that time. Regarding Transporter, I'll have to ask the guy who gave me the 7300. He's managed a University Mac network since 1985, so I hope he might know.
Enjoyed. A real blast from the past. Thanks!
You are welcome. I'm glad to hear that.
I have always wanted to get one of these to see what they were like, thanks for doing this video.
Glad you enjoyed the tour!
Should be picking up one of these machines to call my own in a month or so, very excited.
Wow! That’s quite a find. Well done! I tried to show it in the video, but there’s nothing like seeing one first-hand.
65scribe Very excited, it currently doesn’t work but I will be repairing it.
Ah good old xclock, over 20 years later and it's still practically the same program.
Actually it's more than 30 years old...
This is like if vwestlife had the production quality of LGR. This channel will grow
Thanks for your optimistic prediction!
I love the techno music with the Xclock :) and the Unix flow chart “dude!” Put some KDE or Gnome on that bad boy and let’s serve some files at 3Mb/sec!! We used shuttles for big file movement back then, Damn we’ve come along way
Hey Keith, glad you got a couple laughs out of the video!
The humour at 31:02 is so on-point, even for those of us without a disinterested teenager and an unimpressed wife… I burst out laughing
Looking forward to seeing the giant Trinitron ColorSync (ColourSync?) display soon, complete with its two aperture grille support wires
I'm glad you enjoyed that part, Alex! I hadn't got much feedback on that part, so I'm glad to know it was appreciated.
It was a ColorSync display. Apple had stopped honouring the Canadian spelling by that point.
@@65scribe I am lucky to have a very understanding partner. I also collect PowerBooks only, because they’re smaller. Your videos inspire me to, one day, try and relate some of the experience.
I have one other question; there is a mention of the Denfield Hoard in the Powerbook 520 video, then there is Part 3 - I only count two parts? :)
really glad to see the mac quack getting official usage
10:58 - When any of my vintage machines decide to act up, I show them this part of the video, so they know how good they have it.
Perhaps a follow-up video (part II) about the unusual OS choice, AIX, and how it integrated into a Macintosh network? AFP? Could be done remote
Good suggestion. I would watch that video, I just don't think I'd be qualified to make it.
Omg, you are the vwestlife lost twin, now found in Canada. With the subtitles in your videos as bonus 😁. On a blind test you sound totally like vwestlife up to the moment you said 'a👢' instead of 'about'.
I felt myself old at 0:39 when Jobs said 'Winchester' and I understand the meaning and even older at 0:40 when the caption appeared to explain the meaning of it.
Totally worth subscribing 👍
Thanks Jon! I appreciate the subscription. My stats say most viewers are younger than me, so I figured that caption was necessary. Yes, makes us old, but at least no one has commented "ok, Boomer" The vwestlife comparisons are relentless (I still have to stop and actually watch some of his stuff), but I'm glad to hear that I'm finally distinguishing myself!
@@65scribe watching more videos of yours, I can also see positive influences from Weird Paul and Slugbug👍.
I think that a video on the Macintosh Color Classic and it’s history and upgrades would make a great video.
I agree! I do have a couple of those machines to use for a video. I have a couple videos to finish before then, but definitely on my short list.
Awesome video. So glad you chronicled the history of Apple network servers leading up to this.
PS., I loved the little bit on the 7300 -- I got one as a hand-me-down and used it in high school and early college -- very fond memories of it!
Thanks Alex! I appreciate the feedback. And glad you enjoyed the 7300 part. I had fun making that.
Honestly even if this machine is basically useless now, it looks damn cool. I can't think of anything else that looks quite like it.
I worked at Apple on porting Netware to this server. The project was cancelled late in the development however I had a prototype Network Server in my office that we used for testing. Most of our development/testing was done on the first generation PPC 601 machines that Apple was also developing at the time but the plan was to only release it on the Network Server however it’s development was lagging that of the consumer machines. I do have a bootable development Netware PPC CD in my collection that was to be for the launch of the Beta release which is the point when the product was cancelled.
That’s really cool that someone involved with the Server during development watched the video. Thanks for commenting! Very interesting to read behind-the-scenes accounts like yours.
@@65scribe I sat in lots of meeting with the Shinner team during the development. A few dumb decisions were made like doing their own video controller for reasons that never made sense. We actually compile our code on IBM RS6000s back then.
@@65scribe I actually just found my disc I mentioned. Was going to post a photo here but I don’t think I can or I just don’t know how to.
Very interesting behind the scenes! Regarding the disc, TH-cam does not let you post pictures. I'd be interested to see it if you wanted to send a picture to 65subscribe@gmail.com. Sources I used for the video might be interested in seeing it, too.
I've been waiting for this video ever since you'd teased it, and it did not disappoint! Also 7300 hype levels are through the roof!

Your videos are incredibly engaging. I always watch every second of them.
Love it so far. Can't wait for the new one! I hope You have already a bunch of videos ready!
