Apple Compatibility Card
Simple question hopefully, I have just received a 7-inch Cyrix 586 100MHz Compatibility Card for my Power Macintosh 7200/120, which I bought off eBay for just under $20 AUD or $14 USD. Very happy, I am playing all my old dos games and running Windows 3.11. The problem is I have tried but can't setup my network on the 586 side. I have a TCP/IP network with DCHP, works fine on the Mac side. Any pointers would be great and I read somewhere that there are problems running the same protocol on both sides. If so, could someone explain the workaround clearer? Thanks for the Help, Ben Pazolli P.S. I not sure if this list is still operating, there has been very little activity and it hasn't made the transition to Google groups, if I don't receive a response in a day or two, I will repost this question on PCI PowerMacs. -- Mac-N-DOS is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and... / Buy books, CDs, videos, and more from Amazon.com \ / http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/redirect-home/lowendmac \ Support Low End Mac http://lowendmac.com/lists/support.html Mac-N-DOS list info:http://lowendmac.com/lists/macndos.shtml -- AOL users, remove mailto:; Send list messages to: mailto:mac-n-dos@mail.maclaunch.com To unsubscribe, email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] For digest mode, email: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Subscription questions: mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/mac-n-dos%40mail.maclaunch.com/ iPod Accessories for Less at 1-800-iPOD.COM Fast Delivery, Low Price, Good Deal www.1800ipod.com

If so, could someone explain the workaround clearer? The list has been quiet. Probably not too many folks still using these items. I have an OrangePC 520 card. While I have had no difficulty in getting networking functional with Win95, I have never been able to get it working with MS DOS. MicroOrange the maker of my card, does supply additions/drivers that they represent as workable. I have never been sure whether the problem is with the network drivers or my configuration of them. I do not recall if Apple supplied DOS drivers for networking or not. The Orange PC is gone along with the company that made it. Their site has been mirrored at a couple locations and I do have all their drivers if they would be of benefit to you. I find it odd that Novell's old DOS network drivers remain tightly controlled commercial software. There is a DOS browser that comes with its own built in drivers for accessing the internet, but I have not had any luck using those either. I enjoy using an old operating system known as GEOS, which runs on top of DOS. My card has a 166 processor and I have been a bit frustrated that it will only run MS DOS (it will run DR DOS too). I have had no luck in trying to use OS/2 or BeOS on the card. bill I've been using a 486 based DOS card in a 631CD for years. I never got the networking working in Win3.11/MS-DOS but did get it working in Win95 and Win95 is not even a supported OS for that card. I used the Win3.11 drivers for networking that Apple supplied in the Win95 installation and upgraded from Win3.11 to Win95. I've used GEM running on top of MS-DOS 6.22 on my DOS card. I used a old install of GEM 1.2T that Tandy sold in 1985-6. I've never tried GEOS but it sounds like fun.

Re: Apple Compatibility Card
Hello Ben, May not help, but when I bought a dos Quadra 610 back in 75', no one, even apple tech's could get it to print in DOS, or windows. Apple Au agreed to take it back and I got a full refund. Just before I sent it back I found another tech, who told me save the file in sylk format and then it printed fine. So perhaps you have to save your settings in a special format or a special way. As well it maybe that the TCP/IP needs extras or different settings to hadle DHCP. You may try loading IP addresses manually. Vic.
