Anyone know???
You probably need to enable file sharing over IP on the OS 8 box and I'm not sure you can do that on 8.1. ShareWay is the commercial software that Apple finally purchased. To connect to OS 7 using old fashioned AppleTalk over ethernet I use a terminal command which I have set up in an AppleScript. There may well be a GUI-way but it's not obvious. Perhaps just using the /at/ part in your command-K. mkdir /Volumes/somename mount_afp afp:/at/user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]/volume /Volumes/somename man mount_afp in a terminal session for more. -- --> From the U S of A, the only socialist country that refuses to admit it. <-- -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
