OK, the 5200 is currently running 8.1 and it too has a PDS ethernet card with the proper driver to make it light up and work with the iMac running 9.1. It's a Farallon Etherwave LC. What's a NIC? I do know I've heard that before, but I don't remember this late at night. It will be a weekend thing to do anyway. I didn't tell you that networking and the jargon is not my thing...of course that's why I joined this list and now you know.
BTW, I just saw this posted by Apple: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106453. It's called "Mac OS X: How to Set up AppleTalk Routing". Who knows it could prove to be useful...and then again, maybe not. :>) >Someone asked about networking a 5200 to a box running 10.1 > >well, on my 5200 I am running OS 9.1 and that makes things easier.
