Copying the Network control panel accross from the cd extras folder of a 7.5 install I'm told that classic networking is not supported on this mac so OT is installed and in use.
Was that error message because the version of MacOS installed or was it really because the Macintosh you were installing into didn't supported it? Sometimes I miss the ten line-long error messages from Microsoft - at least they tell you what's happening instead of a simple "it doesn't work".
I'd say the mac I tried doesn't support it, which is kinda odd. As this was the error message generated by the network CP (?) copied from a lower distro I dont know how much stock I put into the error message. Agreed about M$ errors, most are well documented while some mac codes are very obscure and then must be double checked against the models family.
I can send you Appleshare 3.6.4 from the utilities folder of the install disk [...]
For what I see, it wouldn't solve my problem - I need AppleTalk.
Appleshare is part of the system folder contained on a classic macs boot rom. :) I use it a bit, networks to the server and the only other networking extension sort of is the chooser. Atleast you get one way sharing. The appletalk cp allows you to set a target port, this is its only function and its part in OT's bloat. Using appleshare 3.6.4 also controls appletalk, being a chooser extension so appletalk is supported.
My 7.5.x box uses classic networking and has no appletalk cp but does have 3.6.4 installed. What I think you may be thinking of is the sharing setup, fileshare monitor and user&groups cp's to file serve from the Classic II?
You might try the network control panel from 7.5.x as mentioned above or the appleshare 3.6.4 ext, I can post both to check your options before falling back to Open Transport as a last resort on a 10mb mac.
Can I get it from Gamba's Network Access disk (that includes System 7.5)?
With luck I'm the only person that can't seem to boot any 68k from that disk, to be honest I'd doubt it but havent looked at the image to know for sure, it is included with OS7.5.3 install I think, allowing a choice between the two tcp stacks. I'm happy to send them and can send them as a mac floppy image to make on a pc if this makes trasfering to the target machine any easier.
Good luck, I'll check some other machines after work, in general a mac with a low ram ceiling rarely goes past 7.1, here. :(
I'll have to install an older system. This System 7.6.1 is bloated. One of the things I love in the compacts is that they are fast with the right version of the system. And this Classic II really crawls while booting, even after maxing its ram to 10 Mb :-( . But for now, this is all I have to work.
Sadly I know only to well. 7.5.5 runs at about 4.5mb with my small stack of addons included. 7.1 is favored here being a little smaller at 3.7mb but this includes OT with otherwise the same extension set as 7.5.5 so its smaller still minus OT.
Unfortunately one drawback with pre 3.8 appleshare clients is the inability to direct appletalk to a ip address or a non-standard appletalk port number, OT's only saving grace and the sole reason for it on the 7.1 box here. Cable and a ethernet lan allow me to be bias. ;)
Drop me a line off list if you wish, I may be a help after all. :)
Cheers
