So I've gotten an LC ethernet card and a crossover cable, and my CC can see the Powerbook (OSX.3) in the chooser. When I try to connect, however, it says (something like) "This server uses an incompatible version of afp. Please contact your administrator" blah blah blah
The CC did have 7.5.3 on it with several networking extensions (that recieved the same error), but due to my own SNAFU the 7.5.3 System Folder was replaced by the System Folder from the Network Boot Disk Image (and now cannot access the external Zip drive, and I can't find a Zip driver that fits on a floppy!)
My guess is that my next step is getting ahold of full 7.5.5 install disks and doing a clean install...but I don't have another mac with a floppy drive. I'm using my housemate's PC with a mac floppy reading untility that only handles 1.4 MB or lower files...
Thanks for any guidance you can give. If I can get a (iomega) zip driver on it or get it file sharing with OSX.3, I can fix the rest.
Check the apple older software site for the most up to date version of the appleshare client that will work on your choice of OS. Tcp/ip will run on 7.1, this I know, if betax.3 is half of linux you should have no problem. 3.7.4?? so many version #'s to remember, its a mac free weekend for me, I'm going to a lan party or four. :)
The transfer of bootable disks is not a problem.
http://www.jagshouse.com/software/zip.sit.hqx for the iomega driver, works with a plus so should work for you. Read http://www.jagshouse.com/zipMacPlus.html
Damn, I'm trying to cut down on links/posts, sorry. 5 minutes with google and you can do it yourself.
