The 6500 comes from the 5500... You talk about a "optional ethernet card" so it must the card on comm slot. Those cards usually don't have handshake so they can't link on modern switch/routers. You will need a old ethernet 10Mbit hub to connect the 6500 and link it up to the router. Joao On

We'll have to do a little more investigation on the 6500 -- assuming it has a problem, which it probably doesn't, because as Matt Burch said, if it's not on fire, it's a software problem. You can connect computers directly with a cross-over cable in an emergency, skipping troublesome routers a

Well the 6500 has the optional ethernet card, but I have not gotten it to work, but your comment about finding a router to work with half duplex has me wondering if that is the issue. I have an new Asus GB ethernet router and the have only tried the 6500 connected to a GB switch that ggoes to

Yes I have noticed that earlier. I am sure the site owner is updating his hardware or something. Check back in a few days. For a pure ethernet network, you'll need NICs for the SE/30 and the 6500 if it doesn't have a PCI or optional Ethernet card. The 660AV can just use that AAUI port for an

I suppose I could use linux but I would like to keep it an all mac "network" with the mini being the bridge to the rest of the network. But I suppose a linux server would also work just as well... Here is my "vision" Have my SE/30, 660av and 6500 on an appletalk network. I even have an old

Most Mac mini's won't work very well as a central file server for anything older than OS 9.1 (unless they ran Tiger) because the AFP versions are incompatible. You could however, use Linux(or FTP) All of this has been explained in the newbie-friendly Guide I posted the link to earlier. --

So I located a Dayna Port SCSI/Link-T and an Asante EN/SC but no power supply to either. But I suppose that is a start. Looks like the box with all the apple stuff got tossed... When I put all that stuff in there I knew I should have put a not to save it all. There we a bunch of the AAUI in
