With SendToRxAdapters serving the host .NET console, the SheepShaver Mac
console was deaf (pod frames go up instead of out to TAP members). The
mirror daemon turns TAP2's free application side into a userspace bridge
port: pod frames destined for the Mac are written into TAP2 (bridge
forwards them to TAP1/SheepShaver), and a reader thread drains the
unicasts the bridge's poisoned MAC table steers into TAP2 and re-injects
them where the pod's pcap hears them. Loop guards: no pod-sourced
re-injection + short frame-hash dedup. Verified live: Console 4.10
readied the pod through the mirror while the .NET console path stayed
intact -- operator can now alternate between the 1996 Mac console and
the modern one without touching the driver config.
