You will need to install Open Transport if you want to use
AppleTalk. While you can use "classic networking" on some Macs, if you're
running anything newer than OS 7.1 I recommend you get Open Transport. You
must have at least 8MB physical RAM, which you do have.
Open Transport used to be readily available from Apple's Web site, but
since their re-arrangement of the Software Updates section, things are
really hard to find - you have to locate a Tech Info Library article
about the program/application in question, and it will have a link to
a download. (I thought Apple was into making things *easy*, not
hard!) You also need an Apple Care user name to get in, which is free,
but still a hassle.
If you are running OS 8 or newer, you should check Apple's FTP site and
try to download Open Transport 1.3 (ftp.apple.com). If you're running
7.6.1 or earlier, you might need to use 1.1.2, which I can Email you if
you need it.
After you fully install Open Transport, you shouldn't have any trouble
using AppleTalk. Just make sure you select the appropriate connection
method (Ethernet, Localtalk ports, etc.) in the AppleTalk control panel.
By the way, rarely does it work to drag control panels from other machines
when it comes to system-intensive software like Open Transport. Open
Transport involves MANY extensions and two control panels. You need to get
all of those files installed for anything to work right. That's where an
installer is always the best choice.
Hope this helps.
