This will prevent you from sharing the drive itself.
What you need to do is select the shared folder, get info and select file sharing. Then you need to deselect "Share this item..." and close the window. You can now select the drive, get info, choose sharing, and share the entire volume. > (3) Highlighting the iMac drive icon and doing "get info" brings up a > sharing sub-menu, but that's not there on the Duo, which is running sys > 7.6.

However for System 7.6 you need to select (highlight) the drive icon and choose Sharing from the File menu. Then you will get a dialog box that will allow you to share the volume. > (4) I repeatedly couldn't get one machine to recognize the name and > password of the other... and somehow couldn't bypass the password > requirement.

Funny. > You may want to enable Guest access in the Users & Groups Control Panel. This way you can log on as a guest and not be required to enter names and passwords. However you will need to modify the sharing privileges of the drive to allow guests. Do this by doing Get Info, select Sharing and near the bottom of the dialog box you will see "Everyone". Click on the little popup menu to the right of Everyone and select "Read and write". This will give read/write privileges to Guest.
