OK Dan doesn�t seem to be replying so I will for him,
One, Don't speak on my behalf, I can speak for myself and have only just got the emails.
Two, I have 8.6 on the 7200/90 - i got it out briefly to try it out with the adapter.
We tried it on his network and on mine at home. Both are 10/100 so that's
one good reason, but still doesn�t really explain why it wasn�t in the
appletalk control panel.
Indeed, I can't set the switch to 10 only because it is rather dumb :-) just a little white box of electronics...
plus, even if i could, my sister would complain about the speed.
The extension is indeed dated 1993 so it can't have any particular requirement as far as OS goes.
It is made by some company called CNet Network Solutions, model 490e. I had a look for a website. Found one, truly useless with nothing on it and when I looked at the Europe and the US sites, it wasn't there.
Erm...
software versions...
erm...
well I am just using the in-house software that comes with 7.0.1, 7.6.1, 8.1, 8.6. What that is I am not sure...
Hang on and i'll boot my embarrassingly-slow-because-i've-overloaded-it-with-too-much-software- on-only-8megs-colour-classic simply because its there and I don't need to plug in anything and find out. ;-)
Mmmm ... LC Chime :-) ... slow :-( ... [whirr] ... beep [local-talk bridge...] ... beep [shutdown improper...] ... beep [clock time] ... DONE! (if anyone wants to buy me a Sonnet Presto Plus for this I wouldn't take offense ;-) only $99)
Ok ... Control panels ...
Appletalk : B1-1.1 TCP/IP : B1 - 1.1.1
Extensions...
Appleshare : B1 - 3.6.4 Ether-talk Phase 2 : 2.5.7 File sharing extension : B1 - 7.6.2 Network extension : B1 - 7.5.5 Open Tpt Appletalk library : 1.1.1 Open Tpt Internet library : 1.1.1 Open Transport library : 1.1.1
Please note: That is taken from the Colour Classic Running OS 7.6.1. If at all possible, I'd like it to run in 7.0.1. (gettin' a new Mac Plus you see...A new classic Mac every xmas ... last year it was the CC ;-) )
Thats all network related ones. Obviously the one for the SCSI adapter is in there too.
Now, I can get network and even (crappy) internet (using lynx) on there when I use the LC PDS ethernet card.
I shall have a lookie out for a simple 10-Base Hub ... Have been meaning to get one for my 10-Base macs for a while now ... perhaps I should 'borrow' one for school! ;-) Lord knows they need replacing!
Thankee Mucho. Dan
