The iMac can log on to the Power Macs, send and receive files, but
the Power Macs are not able to do anything but see the iMac as a possible
option in the chooser. I think it has to do with the fact that X is based
on UNIX and has some protocols that the Power Macs don't understand. When I
shift the iMac to OS 9.2.2 all of the computers can share back and forth
completely.
Nothing to do with UNIX. The protocol here is AppleTalk, and OSX can
also speak that.
I'm sorry - I haven't been following this thread. Just to clarify a
couple of Are's replies:
There are a number of known incompatibilities between AFP/AT (Apple
Filing Protocol over AppleTalk) on OS 8/9 and OS X. Apple resolved
this issue by totally removing AFP/AT out of Tiger. So... You need
to use AFP/IP (AFP over IP) on all involved machines.
Another OS 9 vs OS X issue is the machine's name. Sometimes if there
are any special characters or spaces in the broadcasted name, the
machines cannot talk.
FWIW,
