I likely mis-spoke. The terminology is a bit confusing. The clear cut fact is that I cannot mount a SCSI disk attached to my SE/30 box, OS 7.5, on my G4 running OSx 10.4. It mounts nicely using 10.3.9. The problem is that Apple discontinued the AppleTalk over ethernet that is needed and AppleTalk over IP is not available on the SE/30 without spending money on third party software, Shareway. The term AppleTalk may be the wrong one. Perhaps AFP over ethernet is more accurate. Some parts of AppleTalk are supported to allow 10.4 to talk to older printers using ethernet. It likely does mean that connecting to a port with TCP or plain IP on a newer Mac than the G4 using ethernet on an SE/30 might be difficult. It's conceivable that the Classic II does have Shareway. Apple bought parts of it for OS 8.5 or so. -- --> Give me liberty or give me Obamacare <-- -- ----- You received this message because you are a member of the Vintage Macs group.
