Unit is a Pismo, G3 500, w/256 MB RAM and an Airport Card. Easily connects via Airport through a Barricade wireless router but does not see desktop Mac running 9.1. After better than an hour of working with Apple Tech Support, their conclusion was that an extension conflict was preventing file-sharing, although both systems had been booted with Mac Basic OS sets selected.
I don't have the installation disk for the PIsmo, and the seller furnished it with 9.2 installed. I set up a workaround network using an ethernet connection to the Pismo, but that process aborted with the transfer half done. When I attempted to restart, the file-sharing extension on the Pismo caused it to crash on startup, and the system reported it damaged. I trashed that extension. All is well now, just no networking to my desktop. Finally my question: Is there any reason at all to keep 9.2 without having OS X on the Pismo? Any downside to 9.1? And might having 9.1 on both machines expedite the transfer of my files? -- cwr -- G-Books is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
