I'm afraid that you are going to need your PC in order to make floppies to get the Mac going.
Been there, done that. It gets better the more Mac bits you acquire :-)
Bill Gates was right after all........ :-P

I didn't think you could add OT to 7.1 Everybody just told me to use MacTCP. But OT let's you speak to a DHCP server, so this alone is useful.
What version can you load?

Well, the enet card for my Apple LCIII arrived today, and I installed same this afternoon. The OS is already OS7.1, so I think I'm set there. The memory went in last week. The floppy that came with the card talks about ethertalk, which I'm guessing is appletalk over twisted pair. I need to install TCPIP, so that I can at least get the LC on a network, to download a web browser, a ping utility, and an email program.
I believe that I need to find a copy of Open Transport 1.2.2 to run on OS 7.1. I have a cable modem, so I don't need PPP or modem dialing capabilities.
How do I get the Open Transport software to the Mac? I have an Ibook, but it lacks a floppy. My IBM PC has a floppy, but it won't read a floppy that's been formatted on the LC. The Enet card came with a floppy for Ethertalk, but I believe that this is appletalk, and not TCPIP. I'm also not sure if the LC will even talk to an OSX Ibook.
Any suggestions?
Thanks Chris
