I second the motion, use filesharing to install from a mounted CD from
the 6320. Even if you can locate an unused set of 8.1 floppies, at this
point you'd stand a very good chance of getting at least one dud in the
lot. Those floppies aren't exactly archival quality media, and it's been
a long time since they were produced.
You've tried?:
. . . replacing the filesharing bits on the 8.1 Mac with the
filesharing items the 9.1 Mac?
. . . deleting/replacing the invisible "AppleShare PDS" files on the
8.1 Mac's volume(s)?
Corrupted AS PDS files can cause the problem you
describe.
Also, delete any filesharing prefs. Easiest way to replace/delete
troublesome preferences is to drag the Prefs folder to the desktop, then
restart. A new Prefs folder will be created by the system and will fill
with new prefs for everything that gets used, including filesharing
stuff. Once you get it working, make a BU copy of the old and new Prefs
folders, then drag (all or some of) the contents of the 'new' folder into
the 'old' prefs folder, replacing all the same-named items. Then drop the
'old' Prefs folder (now with a bunch of new prefs) back into the System
folder to replace the 'new' Prefs �.
BTW, I'd be pleased to extract the filesharing components from the CD's
8.1 installer tome and put them up somewhere for your DL convenience,
just say the word. (Listnannies: I'll not publish the address here, and
the fellow obviously has the right to the files, just hasn't a complete
set of media - DK {am I paranoid or what?})
