Thanks for the info. This PC Net Ext 1.6.4 for OT2 you mention. Is this what
will take care of the error dialog stating that I need OT 1.1.1 or higher? I
got this when I installed the card in a 7600 running OS8.6 which of course
has OT2.x running on it. I assume it's available at Apple's site?
Do you think it will work with OS9.1? If not I suppose it might be worth
installing OS8.6 on a different drive for those rare (oh-so-rare) occasions
that I might want to use a PC.
Thanks again.
