Greetings list. I'm a powerbook noob with a 280c and duodock (not 2).
It includes a farallon nubus ethernet card which copious googling
suggests should work but I can't figure the darn thing out.
Does it require extra drivers or some special configuration?
I'm not sure if there are special Farallon drivers, but I do remember
that System 7.5.x through OS 8.x have an assortment of Ethernet
extensions. One of them is marked NB (for NuBus) and you should check
if it's currently installed in your System Folder.
Definitely not in there.
If not, do a Custom
Install or just use TomeViewer to pluck it out of the System Software
tome in the installer folder of your OS CD....
well, this is a freebie from a friend and comes as is... i.e. no disks.
and only a 1.4M floppy in the dock. hmmm...
another thing occurs to me. I am assuming that the rj45 jack on this
card should just plug in to any ethernet hub. however, in reviewing the
manuals from apple website, I see an arrangement that looks like a token
ring setup with transceivers at each machine etc. Might I be looking at
a cable/hardware issue and not a driver issue? The OS recognizes that it
has ethernet capability when in the dock (ethernet options show up in
tcp/ip and appletalk control panels, but are gone when not docked) but
when I plugin to my hub, no lights, no connections. any thoughts?
