Before NTP there were Time and Daytime 0 ▲ Jeff Geerling 1 hour ago · Tech · hide · 0 comments In building an NTP time demo on old Macs for VCF Midwest, I came across RFC 867 and RFC 868, for the 'Daytime' and 'Time' Protocols, respectively. My first exposure to any form of network time was when I upgraded from a used PowerBook 180c to my first 'new' computer, a Power Mac G3, in 2000. With the introduction of Mac OS 8.5, Apple added a 'Network Time Server' option in the Date & Time Control Panel. No comments yet. Log in to reply on the Fediverse. Comments will appear here.
