First you need the Dayna driver. It gets installed into the System file by the installer on the Dayna floppy. Then you need either Open Transport or MacTCP. Open Transport can do DHCP, MacTCP cannot. But some of the older drivers only work with MacTCP and are not Open Transport compatible. (MacTCP and the Network control panel are the visible parts of what was called "Classic" networking. The Open Transport equivalents are TCP/IP and AppleTalk control panels). Finally you need an FTP client program. Then you have to squeeze all that into a MacTV, which I think has very limited memory expansion (8M total?). Or you can just install the Dayna driver and use the built-in AppleTalk file sharing that comes with every vintage Mac :) I've got a bunch of these Dayna SCSI things. I set one up and tested it with AppleTalk once, but never attempted what you are trying. -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
