"Or, you can check your local computer store or office supply store. Depending on what OS version you are running on the 6360, you may be able to get a cheap DLink PCI card to work. DLink offers cards that are currently selling on the market, and come with Mac OS 9 and OS X drivers (as well as the usually Windows support). I've used these cards, and I can usually get them for under $20 (often as low as $5 or free after rebates)."
I installed a cheapo PCI ethernetcard in my Back-Up Performa 6400/180 OS 9.2.2 a few years ago ,
the "Topcom LAN Card 115 10/100Mbps Ethernet Network Adaptor" to be complete.
Drivers are to be downloaded at "www.realtek.com.tw" and OS 8 is still beeing supported.
I use it with a cross-over cable to back-up or retrieve "stuff" from my iMac 333 OS 9.2.2
While this installs easily and works fine, it works ever so SLOWLY...
When I download via Cable on my iMac 333 I mostly get speeds like : 4041.841 kbits/s or 505.23 kBytes/s
When I down- or upload to my Performa, even modest size files, I fall asleep at the keys...
Did I miss a command or a setting or won't it simply go any faster and why not ?
Or did I buy the wrong kind of card :-[
Two reasons it's going slowly. One is that the 6400 is a slow machine. Second, built in File Sharing (at least for pre X) is intentionally throttled back.
If you aren't already, try making the iMac the Server. This is better because the iMac is faster and it's running OS 9.x which allows you to use IP for file transfers. Make sure IP File Sharing is enabled in the File Sharing control panel and that you have IP setup on both machines.
