You have found the reason I downgraded from 10.4 back to 10.3.9. But in my case it was compatibility with my SE/30 file server running OS 7.5. In OS 9.1 on this 8500 under the File Sharing control panel there is an option to enable file sharing clients to connect over TCP/IP. If checked OS 9 enables Apple's version of Shareway (Open Door Software) which you need for 10.4 and above. There may be an extension that you need to have present. It's not real file sharing but you can use Stairway's NetPresenz on classic OS back to at least 7.1 to allow FTP and some HTTP operations between any MacOSX and older systems. Unfortunately Apple's Finder-based FTP won't permit uploads even with name and password but Terminal.app or some third party FTP client (Interarchy zB) will work. NetPresenz also lets Linux machines communicate with classic Mac OS. Another thing I do with this 8500 is to log in to OS neXt using "MacSSH PPC" which gives me terminal access to any neXt machine in the house including the lady's new iMac. -- Applescript syntax is like English spelling: Roughly, though not thoroughly, thought through. -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
