Hello,
I am a list newcomer as of about a month I think. I recently bought
a Duo 270c off a friend for 60 dollars. I am a PC tech so the quirky little
computer became a project of mine. It had been neglected and had had no
software updates since it shipped. Therefore it had OS 7.0.1. Using many
floppy disks, a PC, and an LC III I managed to upgrade the OS to 7.5.3 but
the 7.5.5 upgrade didn't work. I figured the update might have the internet
connectivity stuff. I have an internal 14.4 modem and am now hell-bent on
getting it to the internet. The modem works because I tried it out with
some old apple-link software still on the drive.
Now for the hopeless part, I don't know how to install anything, or maybe
I do and its not working. A friend knew enough to know that I needed
stuffit-expander. But when I put the stuffit installation file
(Aladdin_exp55.sit) on the machine and double click it, it either says that
the program that created the file cannot be found or opens it in WORD one of
the two I haven't decided which one. I get a similar response upon trying
to run it on the LC III.
Some sidenotes
Neither of the macs hit the net the duo's trying to get set up and the LC
only has an INOP NIC
All of the mac files are first downloaded on the PC then translated onto a
MAC formatted disk using
A program called MacTrans. This might explain the missing program that
created it error.
Please Please help
