Well, the cd drive now works thanks to Greg and my dilligence at digging through the boxes in the closet to find the third party driver on floppy disk. I feel kinda dumb for not realizing to flip the switch on the scsi plug. I don't know if I need TomeViewer to install enough program to make the airport work. Turns out that the documentation on the Airport cd walks through a setup to use the airport base station with a non-airport-capable computer (my 2400 and farallon 11mps card) that uses os9.0. Now my problem seems to be the airport base station. I prevously set it up with my iBook including setting the password for encryption and now I can't remember the password (I just upgraded to REALLY dumb). On the 2400, the Airport admin Utility does NOT see it under "select base station" (for configuration), however the Farallon wireless configuration "sees" it under the network/basestation name that I gave it (via the iBook). I seem to remember that with encryption enabled (as I did earlier) the network will not be "seen" in the list of available base stations by the laptop. I guess that had I not done the previous configuration it would show up on the list. Now here's the really silly part. I tried to create an ad-hoc configuration on the iBook before switching back to the basestation and now I need the password to link with it. I tried to reset the basestation in hopes of erasing the previous parameters but that didn't do it and I need the old paswword to make a new configuration in the airport setup utility on the iBook. So now I'm on the internet by a 56k modem in my TAM...no wandering allowed.
It's all kind of funny in a pull-your-hair-out sorta way, huh?
